INTRODUCTION
Meaning-making coping is used by people with cancer to help them deal with the stress and emotional turmoil associated with their diagnosis. It is a multifaceted approach that can be influenced by cultural, existential, and personal factors. Research on meaning-making coping among Filipinos diagnosed with cancer is sparse. This study examines how a sample of Filipino people with cancer cope with their illnesses.
METHODS
We employed a qualitative approach. The study involved 20 participants with various types of cancer in the Philippines who were selected through purposive sampling and agreed to be interviewed.
RESULTS
The thematic analysis of the interviews revealed the application of both religious and secular meaning-making coping by participants. The study also confirmed the potential influence of culture on coping strategies.
DISCUSSION
The results indicate that religion plays a significant role in Filipino coping mechanisms, given that the Philippines is predominantly a Christian nation. Additionally, the findings highlight the importance of close family ties in Filipino culture and how it contributes to coping with cancer.
引言
患癌者会采用意义建构应对方式来帮助自己应对与诊断相关的压力和情绪波动。这是一种多方面的方法，会受到文化、存在主义和个人因素的影响。关于菲律宾癌症患者意义建构应对方式的研究很少。本研究考察了菲律宾癌症患者样本如何应对疾病。
方法
我们采用了定性研究方法。该研究涉及菲律宾20名患有各种癌症的参与者，他们通过目的抽样被选中并同意接受访谈。
结果
访谈的主题分析揭示了参与者应用宗教和世俗意义建构应对方式的情况。该研究还证实了文化对应对策略的潜在影响。
讨论
结果表明，鉴于菲律宾主要是基督教国家，宗教在菲律宾人的应对机制中发挥着重要作用。此外，研究结果突出了菲律宾文化中紧密家庭关系的重要性以及它如何有助于应对癌症。
