dc.description.abstractCancer survivors face transient and long haul difficulties to physical and psychological wellness, family working, and support of a solid way of life throughout and subsequent to treatment. The current study is carried out to explore the relationship between the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, posttraumatic growth (PTG) and resilience in cancer survivors. There is evidence about influence of PTSD, PTG and resilience in cancer survivors in past studies. So, it is hypothesized that PTSD is negatively correlated with PTG and resilience. In addition, PTG is also hypothesized to positively correlate with resilience. In this correlational study, a sample of 108 cancer survivors distributed across both genders taken from cancer departments in govt. and private hospitals. These participants were recruited through purposive sampling technique and assessed on the Hopkins Symptoms Checklist (HSCL; Parloff, Kelman, & Frank, 1970), Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PGI; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996), and Brief Resilience Scale (BRS; Smith & Bernard, 2008). For present study translated version of HSCL (Helepota & Wasif, 2001), PGI (Kausar, 2010) BRS (Ashraf & Sohail, 2016) are used to assess study measures. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Analysis reveals significant negative correlation of PTSD with PTG and resilience and positive correlation of PTG with resilience. Results also described the relationship between demographic characteristics with PTSD symptoms, PTG and resilience. Variations across gender also exist in PTSD symptoms, PTG and resilience in cancer survivors. Research not only focused on recognition of distress but its major emphasis on the positive changesen_US
