青少年和年轻成年人（AYA）癌症幸存者（15-39岁）经常与他们的癌症后身份作斗争。我们开发了一个适合年龄的积极心理学小组干预与同伴AYA癌症幸存者在自然丰富的环境。本研究的目的是检查这个新的，1周的癌症后的身份干预的参与者的需求和期望，并评估他们的经验，以确定因素，有助于癌症后的心理健康护理interventions.Methods的质量和影响：这是一个混合方法的探索性试点研究评估一个新的，1周的癌症后的身份干预。参与者（n = 13）完成问卷调查，在基线测量的需求和期望，并在干预的最后一天，并在1个月的后续行动，测量experiences.Results：参与者的期望得到支持，找到他们的癌症后的身份，并接受承认和承认他们的痛苦在同胞AYA得到满足。干预被认为是积极的癌症后的身份发展（n = 11）和福祉的几个方面作出贡献。最赞赏的干预元素是同伴的支持和自然丰富的环境中感知wellbing.Conclusion：集团为基础的积极心理后护理干预的性质为AYA肿瘤学深受参与者的欢迎，并提供了有益的反馈，为今后版本的改进。干预可以为AYA提供支持，促进他们的福祉和癌症后的身份发展，但需要更多的研究来证实这一点。
Purpose: Adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors (15-39 years) often struggle with their post-cancer identity. We developed an age-appropriate positive psychology group intervention with fellow AYA cancer survivors in a nature-rich environment. The aim of this study was to examine the needs and expectations of participants of this new, 1-week post-cancer identity intervention, and to evaluate their experiences to identify factors that contribute to the quality and impact of post-cancer mental health care interventions.Methods: This was a mixed-method exploratory pilot study evaluating a new, 1-week post-cancer identity intervention. The participants (n = 13) completed questionnaires at baseline measuring needs and expectations, and on the last day of the intervention and at 1-month follow-up, measuring experiences.Results: Participants' expectations to be supported in finding their post-cancer identity and receiving acknowledgment and recognition of their suffering in fellow AYAs were met. The intervention was perceived as positively contributing to post-cancer identity development (n = 11) and several aspects of well-being. Most appreciated elements of the intervention were peer support and the nature-rich environment on perceived well-being.Conclusion: The group-based positive psychology after care intervention in nature for AYA oncology was well received by participants and provided useful feedback for improvement of future editions. The intervention could offer support to AYA's in the promotion of their well-being and post-cancer identity development, but more research is needed to confirm this.
