The first scale measured the benefit finding in cancer experience, and the second scale measured supportive functions of self-help groups. <b>Results</b>: Exploratory factor analyses indicated that “benefit finding scale” included four factors, and the supportive functions of self-help group could be classified into four aspects. Benefit findings were related to the supportive functions. <b>Conclusion</b>: These results imply that the participation in self-help group is related to positive cognition of cancer survivors.
