abstract = {The objective of this study was to ascertain long-term
cancer survivors' (LTCS') appraisal of medical care and how
these perceptions may influence their health and well-being,
including benefit finding (BF) and posttraumatic growth
(PTG).In total, 6952 LTCS from a multiregional
population-based study in Germany completed the Benefit
Finding Scale, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, the
Questionnaire on Stress in Cancer, and self-designed
questions on cognitive appraisal of medical care. The
authors explored the mediating role of distress between
medical care appraisal and BF and PTG and the possible
moderation of time since diagnosis in this
relationship.LTCS' medical care appraisals ('no
unresolved/untreated symptoms,' 'satisfaction with cancer
care,' and 'satisfaction with care for other diseases') were
positively associated with BF. PTG was positively associated
with 'no unresolved/untreated symptoms' and negatively
associated with 'satisfaction with care for other diseases.'
Cancer distress partially mediated the associations between
appraisals of medical care and BF, between 'no
unresolved/untreated symptoms' and PTG and between
'satisfaction with care for other diseases' and PTG; whereas
it totally mediated the association between 'satisfaction
with cancer care' and PTG. Time was a significant moderator
in the model; the negative indirect effect of cognitive
appraisal on BF and PTG through cancer distress weakened
with longer time since diagnosis.Cancer survivors' medical
care appraisal is associated with their perceptions of BF
and PTG through distress. Therefore, distress screening
could be part of the regular workup to identify distressed
cancer survivors who are not satisfied with medical care;
these survivors may benefit from interventions to reduce
distress and increase BF and PTG.},
