医学刊物《柳叶刀》上的一篇研究论文发表之后,有一种观念变得非常有吸引力,即乐观的精神可以让你保持活力,至少可以抗击癌症。这个研究跟踪调查了72名乳腺癌病人长达5年之久,研究发现,那些对于他们病情采取“战斗精神”的病人相比于那些感觉“无助”或者“无望”的病人活得更好,并且活得更久,仍有残癌的症状也更少。后续的研究似乎也证实了这个结果,并且乐观精神的好处也逐步进入医学理论中。 After the publication of a research paper in the medical journal The Lancet, there has been an idea that has become very attractive, that the spirit of optimism can keep you alive, at least to fight cancer. The study tracked the investigation of 72 breast cancer patients for up to 5 years. The study found that patients who took “fighting spirit” for their condition compared to those feeling “helpless” or “hopeless” The patient lives better and live longer. There are still fewer residual cancer symptoms. Subsequent studies seem to confirm this result, and the benefits of optimism have gradually entered the medical theory.
