| description | Objective: Breast cancer is an important stressor in women's lives, causing them to experience psychosocial problems and negatively affecting their quality of life. Therefore, this study determined the relationship between coping styles and functional quality of life in women with breast cancer.
Methods: The data of this descriptive and cross-sectional study were collected between March and October 2021 with the Personal Information Form, Brief Cope Inventory and Functional Living Index-Cancer via social media. The sample of the study consisted of 132 women with breast cancer, who were actively registered with the Breast Diseases Association and had a social media account.
Results: This study determined that the age, income, having a family member with the same disease, the duration of diagnosis and the status of having a mastectomy affected the coping styles of women with breast cancer. Additionally, it was concluded that the employment and income status of women with breast cancer, having someone to help them in their care, and having another chronic disease affected their functional quality of life. It was found that there was no significant relationship between coping styles and quality of life mean scores.
Conclusion: Women with breast cancer can be supported in developing strategies to cope with their problems and increase their functional quality of life. |
