dc.description.abstractWhile surviving childhood cancer is associated with adverse physical and psychological late effects in adulthood, survivorship also presents opportunities for psychospiritual growth through meaning making. Meaning making is defined as the cognitive process of making sense of an experience and incorporating that understanding into one's beliefs and values. Guided by the philosophies of Viktor Frankl (1959, 2014) and logotherapy, this capstone examines meaning making as a mechanism to promote coping, identity formation, and posttraumatic growth after childhood cancer. Meaning-centered interventions and an experiential workshop to introduce meaning making to adult survivors of childhood cancer are proposed.
