Post-traumatic growth trend among patients with thyroid cancer during diagnosis and therapy: a qualitative research in China
The experiences of PTG among patients with TC varied during the diagnosis and treatment stages. Their PTG experiences are individually heterogeneous. Their somatic symptoms and psychological burdens can interplay with and influence their PTG experiences. Psychological interventions based on different positive psychological characteristics among patients with TC are essential to address patients' disease-related trauma and help them achieve PTG.
