    Abstract: Cancer is a major traumatic event that causes serious interference in the pursuit of individual's life goals and leads to a variety of emotional disorders. Rational adjustment of life goals is beneficial to rebuild life direction,improve physical and mental health of patients. This paper reviews the current research of domestic and international studies on cancer affecting patients' pursuit of life goals,and summarizes the advances in the existing literature on the goal-adjustment behaviors of cancer patients and the effects on their physical and mental health by literature review. Literature review shows that the impact of cancer diagnosis on patients' pursuit of life goals is mainly manifested in the impact on self-efficacy,goal pursuit ability and goal prioritization. Reasonable goal-adjustment behaviors can help improve patients' physical and mental health,which includes promoting positive emotions,alleviating negative emotions,reducing physical discomfort,and improving quality of life. Therefore,future psychosocial intervention design for the emotional health of cancer patients can be based on guiding patients to replan and regulate their goals,so as to improve patients' emotional health and disease prognosis.

    Abstract: Background Primary healthcare is the first line of defense for the containment of COVID-19 pandemic.Primary healthcare has been studied extensively by academic circles in various countries during the pandemic,but the focuses vary across these studies due to differences in primary healthcare systems in different countries. Objective To understand the advances,hotspots,trends and differences of primary care-related research at home and abroad during the COVID-19 epidemic,and to provide a reference for further research in this field. Methods Primary healthcare-related studies published during the COVID-19 pandemic(between January 1,2020 and June 30,2022)were searched in databases of CNKI and Web of Science Core Collection on July 5,2022,and 282 from the former database and 1 755 from the latter were included. CiteSpace was used for visualization analysis to provide a graphic visualization of co-occurrence networks of authors, keywords and keywords clusters,to perform a timeline analysis,and to detect keywords with bursts. Results The number of publications in China grew fast at the beginning of the pandemic,then the growth gradually decreased,and tended to level off at the late stage. In contrast,relevant research started later in foreign countries,but the number of relevant publications maintained high-speed growth as of the study time. The major author cooperation forms were inter-small teams cooperation and inter-individual cooperation,and no large-scale inter-team cooperation was found. The hotspots of domestic research focus on the systems,the exploration of mechanisms and management practices related to pandemic prevention and control,while international research focuses on changes in healthcare-seeking patterns and the satisfaction of patients' medical needs under the influence of the pandemic.Psychological problems related to the pandemic were concerned by both domestic and international research. Conclusion Domestic and foreign studies have similarities and different focuses. To continuous refine and diversify domestic research,it is suggested to learn international experience,pay attention to the construction of relevant research forces,improve the knowledge system in this field,and actively use information technology to improve the primary care system amid the pandemic.
