Religiosity/spirituality (R/S) is often involved in coping with cancer. Qualitative research effectively captures the individuality of R/S constructs. Fourteen military veteran cancer survivors participated in focus groups. R/S questions included "How have your religious/spiritual beliefs affected how you cope with your cancer" and "How have your religious/spiritual beliefs changed as a result of your experience with cancer?" Five primary themes emerged: impact of cancer on R/S, meaning-making, prayer, religious/spiritual role of others, and facing death. Consistency and individuality characterized the role of R/S in cancer survivorship across themes. Implications for future research are discussed.
宗教/精神信仰（R/S）常与癌症应对相关。定性研究有效地捕捉了 R/S 结构的个体性。14 名退伍军人癌症幸存者参与了焦点小组。R/S 问题包括“你的宗教/精神信仰如何影响你应对癌症”以及“由于你患癌症的经历，你的宗教/精神信仰发生了怎样的变化？”五个主要主题出现：癌症对 R/S 的影响、意义的形成、祈祷、他人的宗教/精神角色以及面对死亡。在主题之间，R/S 在癌症生存中的作用具有一致性和个体性。讨论了对未来研究的影响。
