      abstract     = {Interest in post-traumatic growth (PTG) as a predictor of
                      health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is currently gaining
                      attention. However, current evidence is still inconclusive
                      on the nature of this relationship. The first objective of
                      this study was to investigate the relationship between PTG
                      and global HRQoL among cancer survivors. We further
                      investigated the moderating role of fatigue in the
                      association between PTG and global HRQoL. In the FiX study
                      (Fatigue in Germany - Examination of prevalence, severity,
                      and state of screening and treatment) cancer-related fatigue
                      (EORTC QLQ-FA12), PTG inventory and global HRQoL (EORTC
                      QLQ-C30) were assessed four years after cancer diagnosis in
                      1316 cancer-free survivors (mean age = 67.28, SD = 11.05,
                      $51.4\%$ female). Multiple linear regression analysis and
                      moderation analysis were performed. The results showed that
                      PTG had a convex quadratic relationship with global HRQoL (p
                      < 0.001). Contrary to our hypothesis, fatigue did not
                      moderate the relationship between PTG (linear and quadratic
                      terms) and global HRQoL, neither when considering the
                      overall PTG score nor for any PTG subdimension. In
                      conclusion, PTG has a convex quadratic relationship with
                      long-term global HRQoL that was not modified by persisting
                      fatigue. Future statistical models investigating PTG and
                      global HRQoL should take this non-linear relationship into
                      account. Aiming to increase PTG might contribute to, but is
                      likely not sufficient for high levels of global HRQoL in
                      cancer survivors in the long run.},
