Introduction
Although cancer is a debilitating experience, it can also increase meaning and satisfaction in one’s life.
Objectives
To investigate the effectiveness of interventions that aim to develop posttraumatic growth among cancer survivors.
Methods
Seven databasis were searched for relevant articles published between 2000 and 2020. The findings of randomized controlled trials related to interventions to effect posttraumatic growth of cancer survivors were included. Hedges’ g and 95% confidence intervals were computed to estimate the effect.
Results
Table 2
The effect of the interventions on posttraumatic growth among cancer survivors were heterogeneous. The effect size was statistically significant (Tables 1,2).Table 1

Conclusions
Posttraumatic growth interventions significantly increased posttraumatic growth among cancer survivors. Health care providers as the main sources of cancer care should be more focused on the achievement of positive outcomes.
