| description | Cancer is a common life-threatening disease all over the world and can affect the people both physically and psychologically. Fear of recurrence is one of the most common psychological problems faced by individuals and their caregivers that is expressing the concern from diagnosis to the end of life that cancer may return or progress in cancer life even including the survivorship process. When the fear of recurrence reaches the clinical level, it can cause negative effects on individuals and their caregivers such as decreased quality of life, impaired functionality, and inadequate role performance. In this process, the concept of metacognition, which significantly increases the level of awareness of the individual, can have an effect on the individual’s perceptions and interpretations as well as the possibility of being positively or negatively affected by the disease process. In addition, the concept of resilience, which is a protective and enhancing factor in mental health, can make less harm to the person from the process and increase their well-being. In this way, the individual can use coping strategies more effectively and manage the process better. In this paper, we aimed to explain the relationship between the concepts of metacognitions, resilience and fear of recurrence, and to evaluate their effects on the cancer process in order to ensure that the individual suffers minimal damage from the process and provide well-being. |
