摘要：

Approximately 3.1 million males and 2.3 million females over age 65 became ill with cancer in 2000. The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychosocial experience of the older adult with cancer to enable social workers to better serve this population. Thirteen older adults with cancer were interviewed in-depth along with a focus group of three oncology social workers. The older adults in this study were mostly resilient and full of life, despite the possible devastation of cancer. The themes that are discussed in this article are: (1) social support, and (2) spirituality-faith (belief in God, hope, and helping others). Practice applications are discussed in relation to working with resilient and non-resilient older adults with cancer. (C) 2005 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved.
