Coping strategies and attitudes toward medical treatment of 45 daughters of women who had had breast cancer were compared with strategies (sense of coherence) and attitudes on a health opinion survey of 51 women with no such family history who were referred to a breast health clinic in northern Israel. The daughters of women with breast cancer ranked lower on sense of coherence than the women with no such history. They also were more actively involved in the medical setting and requested more medical information than women whose mothers did not have breast cancer. The age of the daughter at the time her mother's cancer was diagnosed predicted her level of coherence and attitudes toward treatment.
对45名乳腺癌患者女儿的应对策略和对医疗的态度,与51名无此类家族病史、在以色列北部一家乳腺健康诊所接受健康意见调查的女性的应对策略(连贯感)和态度进行了比较。乳腺癌患者的女儿在连贯感方面的得分低于无此类家族病史的女性。她们在医疗环境中的参与度也更高,比母亲没有患乳腺癌的女性要求获得更多的医疗信息。母亲被诊断出患有癌症时女儿的年龄,预示着她的连贯感水平和对治疗的态度。
