Why is it important?
Our refined model could facilitate nurses’ and other health professionals' understanding of the process of how resilient individuals with colorectal cancer overcome their illness-related adversity. This refined model may be used to further develop and test cancer-specific resilience measures and develop interventions to facilitate resilience in people living with colorectal cancer.
Perspectives
I hope the findings of this article could help nurses and other health professionals identify individuals who are at risk of adaptation difficulties and contribute to an early referral to psychosocial support services.
