In this study, 131 Norwegian patients with recently diagnosed cancer completed the Nowotny Hope Scale (NHS). The NHS is composed of six subscales, and both global and subscale scores were assessed. Most of the patients were found to be hopeful or moderately hopeful. The variable with the single most positive contribution to hope was whether the patient lived alone. Younger people, in particular, experienced less hope when living alone. Gender, the time elapsed since diagnosis, and treatments had no observable effect on the global hope score. However, age, education level, and type of cancer was associated with particular domains of hope.
在本研究中，131名最近被诊断患有癌症的挪威患者完成了诺沃特尼希望量表（NHS）。NHS由六个分量表组成，并对总体得分和分量表得分进行了评估。大多数患者被发现怀有希望或抱有适度希望。对希望产生最积极影响的单一变量是患者是否独居。特别是年轻人，独居时希望感较低。性别、确诊后经过的时间和治疗对总体希望得分没有明显影响。然而，年龄、教育水平和癌症类型与希望的特定领域相关。
