    La investigación ha evidenciado que las emociones positivas pueden mejorar la salud de pacientes con diferentes enfermedades. El ob-jetivo del presente trabajo es analizar si el estado de ánimo positivo (EAP) está relacionado con la calidad de vida de pacientes con cáncer colorrectal (CRC) y si pueden establecerse directrices para desarrollar intervenciones eficaces que mejoren ese estado de ánimo. Se lleva a cabo una revisión de artículos publicados entre enero de 2001 y Marzo de 2012 a partir de las ba-ses de datos Medline, ISI Web of Knowledge, Psycho Inf y Cochrane y las palabras: emociones positivas, EAP, indicadores de salud, calidad de vida CRC y cáncer. Los artículos se clasificaron en dos grupos: a) Artículos des-criptivos; b) Artículos de intervención. Los resultados de los artículos des-criptivos indican que el estado de ánimo positivo está relacionado con me-jor estado de salud, mejor funcionamiento social, mayor crecimiento perso-nal, mayor bienestar, y menores niveles de ansiedad y depresión. El EAP aumenta cuando se realizan diferentes actividades. Los resultados de los ar-tículos de intervención sugieren que las intervenciones pueden ser adecua-das para mejorar el EAP de los pacientes. Se proporcionan algunas orienta-ciones que pueden ser útiles para los pacientes con CRC

    It can be stated from the previous research that positive emo-tions should allow to better health outcomes in sick populations. The aim of the present work is to know the state-of-the-art of how positive affect (PA) relates with quality of life in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, as well as to give some guidelines to develop more efficacious psychological inter-ventions in CRC patients to enhance positive affect. This review describes a search of published literature from January 2001 to March of 2012 on the Medline, ISI Web of Knowledge, Psycho Inf and Cochrane databases using publications that contain positive emotions, positive affect, health out-comes, quality of life, CRC and cancer. These articles were classified into two groups: a) �\descriptive papers. b) �\interventional studies.. Results from �\descriptive papers. suggest that positive affect (PA) was significantly associated with greater levels of general health, better social functioning, benefit finding, positive changes, low depression, less anxiety and greather psychological well-being. PA also increases when different activities are de-veloped. The overall results from interventional studies suggest that the in-terventions described can be recommended for improving patient�Ls levels of positive affect. The present review offers some suggestions which could be useful for CRC patients
