最近的研究表明，癌症幸存者经历了严重的心理困扰，但有些人也经历了个人成长，称为创伤后成长（PTG）。寻求帮助行为（HSB）对于癌症幸存者更好地科普压力和可能经历PTG至关重要。PTG和HSB的现有理论模型假设癌症幸存者，无论他们的文化背景或个性如何，都会从积极与他人互动中受益。这篇综述文章的目的是批判性地审视这一假设，并提出远端和近端文化的作用，需要考虑进一步了解PTG和HSB的心理机制。未来的研究应该确定经历PTG和参与HSB的文化特定意义和影响。
Recent studies have shown that cancer survivors experience severe psychological distress, but some also experience personal growth, known as posttraumatic growth (PTG). Help‐seeking behavior (HSB) is critical for cancer survivors to better cope with stress and possibly experience PTG. The existing theoretical models of PTG and HSB assume that cancer survivors, regardless of their cultural background or personality, will receive benefit from actively interacting with others. The purpose of this review article is to critically examine this assumption and to propose that the roles of distal and proximate cultures need to be considered in further understanding the psychological mechanisms of PTG and HSB. Future studies should identify the culture‐specific meanings and implications of experiencing PTG and engaging in HSB.
