Cancer diagnosis causes a range of different emotions. It is also a factor that causes feelings of severe stress. Coping with stress is individual and depends on the person's nature, environment, and support they receive. This study aimed to assess how women diagnosed with breast cancer cope with stress caused by the disease. A total of 111 women diagnosed with breast cancer participated in the study. The questionnaires were distributed electronically using Google Forms in online forums and groups on social media. The survey consisted of two parts: the original questions and the Mini-COPE questionnaire. The relationships between stress-coping strategies and age, having children, marital status, and life satisfaction were tested. The Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Dunn's post-hoc test with Bonferroni correction were used for the analyses ( < 0.05). Of the surveyed women, 54.9% reported that the moment of diagnosis was the most stressful. Feelings of fear and anxiety accompanied 30.5% of the women, and 24.7% at the time of diagnosis could not provide information about the disease. The dominant strategies were seeking emotional support (mean 2.12 ± 0.56) and seeking instrumental support (mean 2.06 ± 0.48). Women in the older age group, married women, and women with children were most likely to adopt the strategy of turning to religion. The dominant strategies were seeking emotional and instrumental support. The strategy of turning to religion was used more often by older patients and patients with children.
癌症诊断会引发一系列不同的情绪。它也是导致严重压力感的一个因素。应对压力因人而异，取决于个人的性格、环境以及所获得的支持。本研究旨在评估被诊断为乳腺癌的女性如何应对该疾病所带来的压力。共有111名被诊断为乳腺癌的女性参与了这项研究。问卷通过谷歌表单以电子方式在社交媒体的在线论坛和群组中分发。该调查由两部分组成：原始问题和简易应对方式问卷。对压力应对策略与年龄、是否有孩子、婚姻状况以及生活满意度之间的关系进行了测试。分析采用了曼-惠特尼U检验、克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯检验以及经邦费罗尼校正的邓恩事后检验（<0.05）。在接受调查的女性中，54.9%的人表示诊断那一刻压力最大。30.5%的女性伴有恐惧和焦虑情绪，24.7%的女性在诊断时无法提供有关该疾病的信息。主要策略是寻求情感支持（均值2.12±0.56）和寻求工具性支持（均值2.06±0.48）。年龄较大的女性群体、已婚女性以及有孩子的女性最有可能采取求助于宗教的策略。主要策略是寻求情感和工具性支持。年龄较大的患者和有孩子的患者更常采用求助于宗教的策略。
