To date there has been little research that reveals and describes the connection between the individual and his or her environment, which is the foundation for the coping process. These findings are part of a grounded theory study. The article shows how "the struggle to be a participant in one's own life" was identified as a central tendency in coping with advanced cancer. It involved a pattern of four life conditions: alleviation from a life-threatening illness, carry on a normal life, live with powerlessness, and find courage and strength, which were characterized by a series of limitations and resources significant to coping.
迄今为止，鲜有研究揭示和描述个体与其所处环境之间的联系，而这种联系是应对过程的基础。这些发现是扎根理论研究的一部分。本文展示了“努力成为自己生活的参与者”如何被确定为应对晚期癌症的核心趋势。它涉及到四种生活状况：从威胁生命的疾病中缓解、继续正常生活、无力应对和寻找勇气和力量，这些状况的特点是存在一系列对应对有重要意义的限制和资源。
