Popis: The purpose of the present study is to develop a model of posttraumatic growth according to positive psychology in cancer survivors. The research purpose was applied and was a qualitative and meta-synthesis. The statistical population was both foreign and domestic research articles published about the title of the research between 2005 and 2021. Science Direct, Springer, Google Scholar, Taylor & Francis, Noormags, Magiran, SID, and Civilica databases were used to access these studies. By reviewing 10,000 articles, 10 related studies that met the criteria were selected. In synthesizing the research findings, 6 main components were finally identified: psychological capital, self-compassion, meaning in life, spirituality, gratitude, and love. To evaluate the validity of the data research, the four assessment criteria proposed by Lincoln and Guba were credibility, transferability, reliability and confirmability, as well as Cohen's kappa coefficient.These extracted concepts are introduced in positive psychology and especially in character strength. In fact, these concepts are a set of thoughts, actions, and strengths that cancer survivors have used with regard to posttraumatic growth. The results of this study may provide appropriate insights in the context of positive psychology for medical and mental health professionals dealing with cancer patients and may be effective in developing intervention packages according to the needs of this group.
