Cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment can impact how young adults make sense of their worlds and disrupt peace of mind. The patient–oncologist therapeutic alliance, built upon mutual care, respect, and trust, may foster a deeper understanding of one's illness and promote peace of mind. The study examined relationships between a comprehensive cancer-specific measure of therapeutic alliance and meaning and peace of mind among young adults with cancer (N = 56). Results indicated that a stronger therapeutic alliance was positively associated with meaning and peace of mind. Findings highlight the importance of the patient–oncologist therapeutic alliance in facilitating positive psychological outcomes among young adults with cancer.

患有癌症的年轻人中的患者-肿瘤学家治疗联盟：与意义和内心平静的关系

癌症诊断和随后的治疗会影响年轻人如何理解他们的世界并破坏内心的平静。建立在相互关心、尊重和信任基础上的患者-肿瘤学家治疗联盟可以促进对疾病的更深入了解并促进内心的平静。该研究检查了治疗联盟的综合癌症特异性测量与年轻癌症患者的意义和内心平静之间的关系（N  = 56）。结果表明，更强大的治疗联盟与意义和内心的平静呈正相关。研究结果强调了患者-肿瘤学家治疗联盟在促进年轻癌症患者积极心理结果方面的重要性。
