Abstract :
[en] Purpose. According to recent studies, the “survivor identity” is potentially a key factor for the psychological well-being of cancer survivors. But what exactly lay behind this concept remains unclear. The current review aimed to identify existing conceptualizations of the identity and its associated factors in adult cancer survivors. Methods. A scoping review was conducted following PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Three core databases (MEDLINE/Ovid, PsycINFO/Ovid and Scopus) were searched. Relevant studies from January 1985* to July 2018 were screened through a multi-step process guided by two independent reviewers. Results. Fifty-one articles were preliminary included for data extraction: 43% were quantitative studies, 47% were qualitative studies and 10% were mixed-methods design studies. Only 30% of the studies were related to the identification to the survivor’s identity. About 70% of the studies concerned other conceptualizations such as global self-concept (28%) or body image (23%). Quality of life was the most frequently associated factor (more than 26% of the studies). Conclusions. Several clinical (e.g. self-image, quality of life) but also psychosocial (e.g. socialization) factors related to the identity were found. Our results highlighted that identity in cancer survivorship is a complex issue where the survivor identity remains solely one piece of the puzzle.
