Background Surviving childhood cancer may result in positive psychological changes called posttraumatic growth (PTG).
Knowing about the possibility of positive changes may facilitate survivors’ reintegration into daily life.
We aimed to (1) describe PTG in Swiss childhood cancer survivors including the most and the least common PTG phenomena on the subscale and item levels and (2) determine factors associated with PTG.

Nowadays, most children can be cured from cancer and become survivors. This means that more survivors experience physical, social, and emotional difficulties after being cured. Still, few survivors get care that goes beyond the medical impact of cancer. The social and emotional wellbeing of survivors is often not addressed by healthcare professionals. Knowing about the unmet needs of survivors can give healthcare professionals important information on how to help survivors and also address their social or emotional problems and/or concerns. In this study, the authors have explored in-depth the experiences of survivors living in Switzerland on their wellbeing, impact of cancer and unmet needs in care. Results show that the majority of survivors has many unmet needs and indicates the current lack of specific psychosocial care. Hopefully, these findings will encourage healthcare professionals to develop services and provide care tailored to survivors’ unmet needs.
