  1. SC, self-concept; SI, social impact; SR, stress response; Sp, spirituality; NA = not available.
  2. The bold value of Mean and SD for each sub-domain was calculated from survivors’ scores on the items within the sub-domain.
  3. The bold values of coefficient of variation (CV) and effect size (ES) for each sub-domain were calculated from the mean of item scores within the sub-domain.
  4. **Impact scores: changed scores from before cancer to current.
