Benefit Finding

Benefit Findingتست مربوط به بیماری سرطان پستان است .
The Benefit Finding scale for breast cancer assesses the perception that positive contributions were made to one's life by the experience of being diagnosed with and treated for breast cancer.  The original scale was developed by Vicki Helgeson at Carnegie Mellon University (citation below). We wrote a few additional items and distilled the set down a little by removing difficult and redundant items.  In our intervention study‚ cited below‚ the items tended to form a single factor.  In a later study‚ also cited below‚ we found that benefit finding early in the cancer experience predicted better psychosocial adjustment years later.
