The effect of psychosocial distress and self-transcendence on resilience in patients with cancer.

Perspectives In Psychiatric Care May 10, 2022 Seda Er, Gizem Şahin-Bayındır, Ayşin Kayış et al.

Among 105 individuals receiving cancer treatment, psychosocial distress was negatively related to resilience, while self-transcendence was positively related to resilience. The regression analysis showed that higher psychosocial distress corresponded to lower resilience, and higher self-transcendence corresponded to higher resilience. Psychiatric nurses may help patients identify sources of self-transcendence to support resilience.

The findings suggest that fostering self-transcendence may support mental health in this population, offering a basis for nurses to design interventions that strengthen well-being.
