本研究的目的是确定4年内乳腺癌适应的不同轨迹，并区分不同的轨迹。对287名乳腺癌患者的精神和身体功能进行了为期4年的随访检查。随着时间的推移，大多数女性的功能表现出轻微而稳定的改善，但随着时间的推移，确定了一些女性的亚组，她们表现出明显的改善和明显的恶化。年龄成功地区分了身体功能的不同轨迹。个人资源指标（如自我形象、乐观、感知控制）和社会资源指标（如社会支持）成功地区分了心理和身体功能的不同过程。
The goal of this study was to identify distinct trajectories of adjustment to breast cancer over 4 years as well as to distinguish among the different trajectories. The mental and physical functioning of 287 women with breast cancer who remained alive and disease free through 4 years of follow-up were examined. The majority of women showed slight and steady improvement in functioning with time, but subgroups of women were identified who showed marked improvement and marked deteriorations over time. Age successfully distinguished different trajectories of physical functioning. Indices of personal resources (i.e., self-image, optimism, perceived control) and social resources (i.e., social support) successfully distinguished different courses of mental and physical functioning.
