Alternative health care practices are a way in which cancer patients can be in control of their illness situation. This assumption is investigated through control theory. While the sociocultural schemas of North American patients endorse control of illness, the stress of the cancer experience dismisses the advantage of control behaviours. Analysis also suggests that patients find ways to escape from the freedom of being in control of their health situation. This post-analysis of a recent study uncovers major ambiguities concerning the control behaviours of cancer patients.
替代性医疗保健实践是癌症患者能够掌控自身病情状况的一种方式。这一假设通过控制理论进行研究。尽管北美患者的社会文化模式认可对疾病的掌控，但癌症经历带来的压力却消除了控制行为的优势。分析还表明，患者会设法逃避掌控自身健康状况所带来的自由。对近期一项研究的后续分析揭示了有关癌症患者控制行为的主要模糊之处。
