Chinese culture influenced dignity therapists' experience of conducting dignity therapy in mainland China. A series of challenges and benefits of conducting dignity therapy to therapists' personal growth and clinical work were perceived. It is suggested that cultural impacts on dignity therapy implementation and the therapists' ability to deal with practical and emotional challenges need to be addressed in dignity therapy training. A more resource-saving dignity therapy protocol would be significant for dignity therapy implementation.
