Nevertheless, studies show that overcoming cancer and its treatment can present an opportunity for personal growth and psychological health (reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression and high levels of emotional well-being) through resilience. However, research has not yet clarified what differentiates HSCT survivors who experience psychological growth from those who do not. By analyzing recovery narratives, we examined whether HSCT survivors\u2019 interpretation of their experiences helps explain differences in their post-treatment psychological health.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1478951513000205_sec2\"><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Guided by narrative psychology theory, we analyzed the narratives of 23 HSCT survivors writing about their experience of cancer treatment.
