This study was performed with the objective of determining hopelessness and perception of illness in cancer patients. This was a descriptive and regressional study. The study was performed between January and June 2014 on 105 outpatients at the oncology clinic of Manisa Government Hospital in Turkey's western. A patient information form, the Beck Hopelessness Scale, and the illness perception questionnaire were used to collect data, and data analysis was performed using the program Statistical Package for Social Sciences 15.0. Percentages, t test, Kruskal-Wallis, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation were used in the evaluation of research data. The hopelessness levels of cancer patients participating in the study were at a medium level. As patients' scores on the hopelessness scale and its subscales increase, so their illness perception scores also increase. The hopelessness levels of patients whose illness perception was good were lower; that is, as patients' hopelessness levels fell, their illness perceptions and view of their illness were affected in a positive way.
本研究旨在确定癌症患者的绝望感和疾病认知。这是一项描述性和回归研究。研究于 2014 年 1 月至 6 月在土耳其西部马尼亚萨政府医院肿瘤诊所的 105 名门诊患者中进行。使用患者信息表、贝克绝望量表和疾病认知问卷收集数据，并使用社会科学统计软件包 15.0 进行数据分析。百分比、t 检验、克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯检验、单因素方差分析和皮尔逊相关用于评估研究数据。参与研究的癌症患者的绝望程度处于中等水平。随着患者在绝望量表及其分量表上的得分增加，他们的疾病认知得分也随之增加。疾病认知良好的患者的绝望程度较低；也就是说，随着患者的绝望程度下降，他们对疾病的认知和看法也会产生积极的影响。
