Relations among coping, physical symptoms, and affect were investigated in 43 women undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Patients were assessed at the same point in their treatment so that the time for which coping was reported would be equivalent across individuals. Patients were asked how they coped specifically with chemotherapy, rather than how they coped with cancer in general, to make the domain specific. Positive and negative affect were assessed separately, using a scale free of somatic content. Relations between coping and affect were consistent with prior studies that have employed a general approach to assessing coping. Coping correlates of positive and negative mood differed. When the relations between physical symptoms and affect were examined, physical symptoms were related to negative affect but not to positive affect. Findings are discussed in terms of their implications for coping with cancer as well as their implications for the general coping literature.
对43名接受乳腺癌辅助化疗的女性患者的应对方式、身体症状和情感之间的关系进行了调查。在治疗的同一时间点对患者进行评估，以便不同个体报告应对方式的时间相同。询问患者具体是如何应对化疗的，而不是他们一般如何应对癌症，以使研究领域更具针对性。使用不含躯体内容的量表分别评估积极情感和消极情感。应对方式与情感之间的关系与之前采用一般方法评估应对方式的研究一致。积极情绪和消极情绪的应对方式相关因素有所不同。当研究身体症状与情感之间的关系时，身体症状与消极情感相关，但与积极情感无关。将根据这些发现对应对癌症的意义以及对一般应对文献的意义进行讨论。
