ABSTRACT
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.
