目的将适应方式范式描述为一个启发式模型，用于理解癌症儿童中观察到的非常积极的心理社会适应，并将有关压抑性适应方式的研究结果整合到一个更广泛的积极心理学框架中。方法选择性地回顾有关适应方式及其与癌症儿童抑郁症状、创伤后应激症状、躯体痛苦和健康相关生活质量结果的相关性的文献。与健康史相比，适应方式对心理社会结果的预测作用更强。结论癌症儿童是一个蓬勃发展的群体。压抑的适应方式是在这一群体中获得弹性的一条途径。回顾了积极心理学领域的其他结构，并提出了一个积极心理学模型作为指导这一领域未来研究的框架。
Objective To describe the adaptive style paradigm as a heuristic model for understanding the very positive psychosocial adjustment that has been observed in children with cancer, and to integrate findings regarding repressive adaptive style into a broader positive psychology framework.Method A selective review of the literature on adaptive style, and its relevance to outcomes of depressive symptoms, posttraumatic stress symptoms, somatic distress, and health-related quality of life in children with cancer.Results Studies have found children with cancer report low levels of psychological distress. Adaptive style is a much stronger predictor of psychosocial outcomes than is health history.Conclusion Children with cancer represent a flourishing population. A repressive adaptive style is one pathway to resilience in this population. Additional constructs from the domain of positive psychology are reviewed, and a positive psychology model is suggested as a framework for guiding future research in this area.
