Publisher's Synopsis
Psychological resilience plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for cancer survivors, helping them adapt to the emotional, physical, and social challenges that often follow diagnosis and treatment. Resilient individuals are better equipped to cope with fear of recurrence, changes in body image, and the stress of ongoing medical care. Support systems, including family, healthcare providers, and peer groups, contribute significantly to strengthening resilience. Practices such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and goal setting can improve emotional regulation and promote a positive outlook. By fostering resilience, cancer survivors are more likely to regain a sense of control, maintain meaningful relationships, and pursue fulfilling lives despite their experiences. Ultimately, resilience is a key factor in the long-term psychological well-being and overall life satisfaction of those who have faced cancer.
