This study aimed to describe the perception of the meaning of life and coping strategies of 19 patients with cancer at a public hospital in Brazil. This is descriptive and qualitative research that used Amedeo Giorgi's phenomenological model, and the interpretation was performed in light of Viktor Frankl's theory. Two themes have emerged: (1) the perception of the meaning of life in the experience with cancer and (2) religious coping to fight the disease. This study showed that revealing the meaning of life in the cancer experience contributes to better treatment compliance, a more favorable view of the future and better quality of life. On the other hand, religious coping is the strategy most used by patients who believe in God, showing a greater state of psychological and spiritual well-being.
本研究旨在描述巴西一家公立医院 19 名癌症患者对生命意义的认知和应对策略。这是一项描述性和定性研究，使用了阿玛迪奥·乔治的现象学模型，解释则基于维克多·弗兰克的理论。研究出现了两个主题：（1）在癌症经历中对生命意义的认知；（2）对抗疾病的宗教应对方式。本研究表明，在癌症经历中揭示生命的意义有助于提高治疗依从性，对未来持更乐观的态度，提高生活质量。另一方面，宗教应对方式是信仰上帝的患者最常使用的策略，表现出更高的心理和精神幸福感。
