A utilização do coping religioso/espiritual por mulheres submetidas ao tratamento do câncer de mama / The use of spiritual/religious coping for women undergoing treatment for breast cancer

Mariana Lopes Borges 26 June 2015 (has links)
O Coping Religioso/Espiritual (CRE) vem sendo apontado como importante estratégia utilizada no enfrentamento de estímulos estressores, especialmente no contexto da saúde. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o nível de CRE utilizado por mulheres submetidas ao tratamento do câncer de mama. Trata-se de uma pesquisa com delineamento quantitativo, descritivo e corte transversal. Participaram 94 mulheres submetidas aos tratamentos do câncer de mama, que frequentavam regularmente um núcleo de reabilitação. A coleta de dados ocorreu de outubro de 2013 a junho de 2014 e foram utilizados dois instrumentos: questionário com dados sociodemográficos, clínicos, religiosos/espirituais e estímulo estressor associado ao câncer de mama, e a Escala de Coping Religioso/Espiritual Breve (CRE-Breve). Os dados do questionário foram analisados descritivamente e utilizou-se o programa SPSS versão 16.0. Os itens da escala foram analisados segundo sugestão da autora que validou o construto no Brasil, utilizando os testes estatísticos apropriados. Foram respeitados os preceitos éticos da resolução 466/2012 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde. Os resultados mostraram que: todas as participantes utilizaram o CRE, sendo 76,6% em nível alto/altíssimo e 23,4% em nível médio; o CRE Positivo (mediana 3,44; média 3,41; desvio padrão 0,59) foi mais utilizado em relação ao CRE Negativo (mediana 1,13; média 1,27; desvio padrão 0,40) e Razão CREN/CREP (mediana 0,35; média 0,38; desvio padrão 0,14). Foram significantes: as comparações dos escores do CRE Total com as variáveis \"Quimioterapia\" (p=0,012), \"Participa de atividade religiosa/espiritual\" (p=0,001), \"Frequência com que participa de atividade religiosa/espiritual\" (p=0,002) e \"Grau de importância da religiosidade/espiritualidade no momento de vida\" (p=0,032); as comparações dos escores do CRE Positivo com as variáveis \"Quimioterapia\" (p=0,011), \"Participa de atividade religiosa/espiritual\" (p=0,004) e \"Frequência com que participa de atividade religiosa/espiritual\" (p=0,011); as comparações dos escores do CRE Negativo com as variáveis \"Participa de atividade religiosa/espiritual\" (p=0,019) e \"Frequência com que participa de atividade religiosa/espiritual\" (p=0,002). Apesar de não ter havido diferença significante do CRE com as demais variáveis investigadas, elas devem ser consideradas ao se avaliar a utilização de CRE frente a estímulos estressores, especialmente o câncer de mama; o CRE se mostrou como uma importante estratégia de enfrentamento em situações de estresse vividas por mulheres com câncer de mama e as auxiliou enfrentar a doença e as consequências dos tratamentos realizados. O fato de as mulheres participarem de um núcleo de reabilitação integral pode ter contribuído na utilização do CRE como estratégia de enfrentamento do câncer de mama. Evidencia-se a importância de os profissionais da saúde se apropriarem de conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes que os auxiliem a inserir o cuidado espiritual no planejamento e implementação das ações de assistência à saúde, principalmente de mulheres com câncer de mama. Sugere-se ainda a criação de serviços em saúde que ofereçam o suporte religioso/espiritual aos seus pacientes e a adequação daqueles que já se encontram em funcionamento, uma vez que esta se mostra como uma estratégia importante diante de eventos estressores, inclusive àqueles relacionados aos problemas de saúde / The Spiritual/Religious Coping (ERC) has been identified as an important strategy used in coping with stress, especially in the context of health. This study aimed to evaluate the level of ERC used by women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. It´s a survey of quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional design. Participated 94 women submitted to breast cancer treatments for regularly attendance on a rehabilitation center. Data collection took place from October 2013 to June 2014 and two survey instruments were used: questionnaire with sociodemographic and clinical, religious/spiritual data; and stressor stimulus associated with breast cancer, and the Spiritual/Religious Coping Scale (ERC-Short). Questionnaire data were analyzed descriptively using SPSS version 16.0. Scale items were analyzed according to construct validation in Brazil. The ethical precepts of the Resolution 466/2012 of the National Health Council were respected. Results showed that all participants used the ERC, and 76.6% in high/very high level and 23.4% in average level; Positive ERC (median 3.44, average 3.41, standard deviation 0.59) was used relative more than negative ERC (median 1.13, average 1.27, standard deviation 0.40) and the Ratio of ERCN/ERCP (median 0.35, mean 0.38, standard deviation0.14). Were significant for the comparisons scores of total ERC with the \"Chemotherapy\" variables (p=0.012); \"takes part in religious/spiritual activity\" (p=0.001); \"frequency of participating in religious spiritual activity\" (p=0.002), and \"degree of importance of religiousness/spirituality at the time of life\" (p=0.032).Comparisons scores of the ERC Positive with the variables \"Chemotherapy\" (p=0.011); \"takes part in religious/spiritual activity\" (p=0.004) and \"frequency of participating in religious/spiritual activity\" (p=0.011). Comparisons scores of the ERC negative with \"participates in religious/spiritual activity\" (p=0.019) and \"frequency of participating in religious/spiritual activity\" (p=0.002). Although there has been no significant difference in the ERC with other variables investigated, they should be considered when evaluating the use of ERC facing stressful factors, especially breast cancer. The ERC proved to be an important strategy in situations of stress experienced by women with breast cancer and confront the disease and the consequences of treatments. The fact that women participated in a comprehensive rehabilitation core may have contributed to the use of the ERC as a coping strategy of breast cancer. Highlights the importance of health professionals to appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes that help them to introduce the spiritual care in planning and implementation of health care interventions, mainly of women with breast cancer. It is also suggested the creation and adequacy of health services that offer religious/spiritual support to their patients, since this appears as an important strategy in facing stressor stimulus, including those related to health problems

Primeiro ano de pós-operatório: significado para a pessoa com estoma intestinal por câncer colorretal / First year after surgery: meaning for the person with intestinal stoma for colorectal cancer

Nariman de Felicio Bortucan Lenza 02 May 2016 (has links)
Resumo: Este estudo objetivou interpretar o significado do primeiro ano de pós- operatório para pessoas com estoma intestinal por câncer colorretal, em seguimento ambulatorial. Utilizamos o referencial teórico da Sociologia da Saúde, que integra ações das pessoas às estruturas sociais em um contexto, com utilização do método etnográfico e análise temática indutiva. Foram realizadas entrevistas em profundidade (Parecer no. 184.720 - CEP/EERP-USP) com treze participantes com estoma intestinal por câncer colorretal, no primeiro ano de pós-operatório em um hospital público universitário, em seguimento de controle oncológico. Foram construídas três unidades de sentidos e dois núcleos temáticos. As unidades de sentido \"Adoecimento oncológico: da suspeita à constatação\", \"Gerenciamento do adoecimento e do tratamento oncológico\" e \"Convivendo com o câncer, com a estomia intestinal e com o eu diferente, mostraram a decisão pelo itinerário terapêutico perpassa pelo reconhecimento do acontecimento de algo grave com o corpo destas pessoas, busca pelo sistema profissional de saúde e a luta pela acessibilidade aos exames especializados e dos tratamentos oncológicos, em busca de cura. O gerenciamento das consequências do tratamento cirúrgico como a estomização intestinal e dos tratamentos adjuvantes como a fadiga levam à reflexividade sobre as mudanças do corpo e as repercussões na vida destas pessoas, contrapondo a normalidade anterior e após o adoecimento oncológico, além do enfrentamento do estigma da doença e do estoma intestinal. Contudo, a vida destas pessoas ficou mais restrita aos acontecimentos clínicos e ao contexto de assistência à saúde, às expectativas de respostas aos tratamentos e as possibilidades de recidiva e de metástase, mas com busca de uma normalidade nesta etapa de sobrevivência. Na perspectiva da Reconfiguração do self os dois temas construídos: \"A etapa de sobrevivência da pessoa com estoma intestinal no seguimento oncológico\" e \"Estomização por CCR no primeiro ano de pós-operatório: o eu reconfigurado\", trouxeram os desafios e sofrimentos vividos por estas pessoas na busca pelo direito à acessibilidade ao exame de colonoscopia e aos tratamentos oncológicos, assim como a demanda de suas necessidades de cuidados no período do seguimento de controle e os limites do sistema profissional. O significado do primeiro ano de pós-operatório das pessoas com estoma intestinal por CCR em seguimento oncológico foi construída mediante o Referencial teórico da Reconfiguração do self na perspectiva da Sociologia Compreensiva, considerando as ações e interações destas pessoas para a mediação da experiência de perdas corporais, dos limites e de sofrimentos em decorrência deste câncer, dos resultados com o tratamento oncológico e da estomização, cuja reflexividade sobre o sentido da vida e do viver, culmina o \"eu diferente\", representado por ter câncer e estoma intestinal, em \"eu reconfigurado\", representado pelo processo de estomização por câncer colorretal, ou seja, estas mudam as suas expectativas de cura para expectativas de se manterem vivas por mais um dia / Abstract: This study aimed to interpret the meaning of the first year after surgery for people with intestinal stoma for colorectal cancer. We use the theoretical framework Sociology of health, integrating actions of those social structures in context, using the ethnographic method and inductive thematic analysis. In-depth interviews were conducted (opinion No. 184,720 - CEP/EERP-USP) with thirteen participants with intestinal stoma for colorectal cancer, in the first year after surgery in a public hospital in outpatient follow-up for cancer control. Three units of meaning and two thematic units were built. The sense units \"cancer Illness: from suspicion to finding\", \"Managing illness and cancer treatment\" and \" Living with cancer, with ostomy and with a different me,\", showed the decision by therapeutic itinerary runs through the recognition of a serious event happening with the body of these people, search for professional health system and the struggle for accessibility to specialized tests and cancer treatments, for healing. The management of the consequences of surgical treatment as the intestinal stomatization and adjuvant treatments as fatigue lead to reflexivity about body changes and the impact on the lives of these people, opposed to normal life before and after the illness, cancer beyond the coping of the stigma of the disease and intestinal stoma. However, their lives became more restricted to clinical events and the health care context, the expectations of treatment response and chances of recurrence and metastasis, but with finding a normal life in this survival stage. From the perspective of self Resetting the two themes built: \"A person\'s survival stage with intestinal stoma following cancer\" and \"stomatization by CRC in the first year after surgery: the self reconfigured\", brought the challenges and sufferings experienced by these people searching for the right to accessibility to colonoscopy and cancer treatments, as well as the demand for their care needs in control of follow-up period and limits of the professional system. The meaning of the first year after surgery for people with intestinal stoma by CRC in oncological was built by the Theoretical framework of self reconfiguration in the perspective of Comprehensive Sociology, considering the actions and interactions of these people to the mediation of the experience of bodily losses, the limits and suffering as a result of this cancer, the consequences with the cancer treatment and stomatization whose reflexivity about the meaning of life and living, culminates the \"me different,\" represented by having cancer and intestinal stoma, on \"I reconfigured\" represented by stomatization process colorectal cancer, so, they change their expectations for curing expectations remain alive for another day

Diferença entre gêneros na percepção do estresse e estratégias de coping de pacientes em tratamento quimioterápico para câncer colorretal / Perceived stress and coping differences between genders on colorectal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy

Sonia Betzabeth Ticona Benavente 09 November 2012 (has links)
O estresse é comum entre pacientes com câncer, especialmente naqueles em tratamento quimioterápico. Assim, cabe mencionar que a percepção, resposta e adaptação ao estresse caracterizam-se por componentes fisiológicos e comportamentais, os quais são determinados por diferentes fatores, incluindo o gênero. Objetivo: Analisar as diferenças entre gêneros na percepção do estresse e as estratégias de coping utilizadas pelos pacientes com câncer colorretal em tratamento quimioterápico. Método: Este estudo tem delineamento transversal e de campo, com abordagem quantitativa. A amostra foi composta de 100 pacientes em tratamento ambulatorial no Hospital A.C. Camargo, formada por 47 mulheres e 53 homens. Após a aprovação pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da instituição acima referida, deu-se início à coleta de dados. Nesta amostra, foram utilizados um questionário para a coleta dos dados clínicos e sociodemográficos e duas perguntas abertas que se referiam aos sentimentos e preocupações; ainda, foram utilizados a Escala de Estresse Percebido PSS-10 e o Inventário de Estratégias de Coping de Folkman e Lazarus. Nesta pesquisa foram utilizados o qui-quadrado, correlação de Pearson e regressão linear. Resultados: A pontuação do nível de estresse da amostra de estudo foi, em média, 12. Identifica-se que o gênero feminino possui maior nível de estresse, sendo esta diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0,05). Em relação às estratégias de coping, homens utilizaram-nas em maior número e houve diferença estatisticamente significativa (p0,05) para o gênero no domínio Resolução de problemas com predominância do gênero masculino. Finalmente, mediante o modelo de regressão linear para o estresse, gênero e coping, identifica-se que o gênero não está correlacionado com o estresse; porém, com o domínio Confronto, a correlação é positiva. Já com os domínios Resolução de problemas e Reavaliação positiva, a correlação é negativa. A partir da análise qualitativa, verificamos que a maioria dos pacientes consideram a quimioterapia um processo difícil, porém necessário para sua melhoria e posterior restabelecimento. Encontrou-se diferença estatisticamente significativa na categoria outros aspectos da experiência negativa, com predomínio do gênero masculino. Em relação ao suporte utilizado, identifica-se diferença estatisticamente significativa com a prática religiosa com predomínio das mulheres. Conclusão: Mediante estes resultados, podemos afirmar que, o gênero feminino possui maior nível de estresse, o gênero masculio utiliza em maior número de estratégias de coping e houve diferença estatisticamente significativa no domínio Resolução de problemas com predominância do gênero masculino e, embora a quimioterapia seja um tratamento agressivo, a utilização das estratégias de coping orientadas à resolução de problemas e à reavaliação positiva diminui os níveis de estresse de forma eficaz. Portanto, as intervenções da equipe de saúde devem ser orientadas a motivar e fortalecer nos pacientes essas duas estratégias. / Among cancer patients, stress is common, specially between the ones undergoing chemotherapy. Thus, we can say that the perception, response, and adaptation to stress are characterized by physiological and behavioral components, that are determined by several factors, including the gender. Aim: To analyze gender differences on stress perception and coping strategies used by colorectal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Method: This research is a cross sectional study, on field, with quantitative approach. The sample was composed of 100 ambulatorial patientes of A. C. Camargo Hospital, with 47 women and 53 men. After approval from Ethics on Research Committee from above institution, was begun the data collection. In this sample, were used a socio-demographic and clinical questionnaire, and two open questions about feelings and worries; were used too, the Perceived Stress Scale PSS-10 and the Folkman and Lazarus Ways of Coping Questionnaire. The chi squared, Pearson correlation and linear regression analysis were used to analyse the data. Results: The average stress level score was 12. Female gender has greater stress level, statistically significant (p<0.05). Regarding the coping strategies, men used more variety, with statistically significant difference (p0.05) for the domain Planful problem-solving with male predominance. Finally, through the linear regression model for stress, gender and coping, was identified that gender have no correlation with stress; however, with the Confrontative coping there is a positive correlation. For the Planful problem-solving and Positive reappraisal, the correlation is negative. From the qualitative analysis, was verified that majority of patients consider the chemotherapy a dificult process, but necessary for his improvement and recuperation. A statistically significant difference was identified, at the category other issues of negative experience, having male gender predominance. Regarding to the use of supporting, the women have predominance statistically significant at spiritual support. Conclusion: From this results, we can state that, female gender has greater stress level, regarding the coping strategies, men used more variety, with statistically significant difference for the domain Planful problem-solving with male predominance and despite that chemotherapy is a aggressive treatment, using \"Planful Problem-Solving\" and \"Possitive Reappraisal\" coping strategies, reduces the stress level effectively. Consequently, the health care team interventions should be targeted to motivate and strengthen this strategies in the patients.

O objetivo principal foi realizar o diagnóstico situacional utilizando a Escala Hardiness em profissionais de Enfermagem do Hospital Universitário Antônio Pedro (HUAP). Está apoiado em bases conceituais nas quais a Enfermagem é um dos grupos com mais expostos à Síndrome de Burnout, a qual se caracteriza pelo estresse crônico relacionado ao trabalho, ocasionando o adoecimento físico e psíquico, e comprometendo os resultados do trabalho. As estratégias pessoais eficazes podem significar mais resistência ao estresse, denominado Hardy personality ou Hardiness, ou seja, personalidade resistente. Para a qual há três dimensões de estimativa: compromisso, controle e desafio. Metodologia: estudo descritivo-exploratório, com abordagem quantitativa, cuja amostra foram 171 profissionais de Enfermagem do contexto hospitalar, no período de abril a outubro de 2016. Para coleta de dados utilizou-se a Escala Hardiness, tipo Likert, composta por 30 itens Resultados: somente três (1,8%) dos profissionais possuem Hardiness elevado no referido hospital, enquanto os demais profissionais têm alta pontuação no escore compromisso e baixo no escore desafio. As correlações foram apresentadas em 05 (cinco) dimensões de análise que compõem este estudo. Ou seja, perfil sociodemográfico da amostra, associação dos domínios de Hardiness com variáveis qualitativas nominais, associação dos domínios de Hardiness com variáveis qualitativas ordinais e quantitativas, análise descritiva de escores dos domínios de Hardiness, associação dos profissionais de Hardiness elevado com variáveis qualitativas nominais e ordinais e quantitativas. Conclusão: o produto de pesquisa apresentado no estudo como um “Diagnóstico Situacional de Hardiness de profissionais de Enfermagem" apoiará medidas preventivas na instituição / The object and the main topic of this research aims to conduct a situational diagnosis of the staff nurses of a university hospital in connection with the resistant personality, Hardiness. In order to address the Burnout Syndrome prevention (SB) and management, the situational diagnosis was performed using the Hardiness Scale to assess staff nurses at Antônio Pedro University Hospital (HUAP). It is supported by conceptual basis where Nursing is one of the groups most exposed to Burnout Syndrome, which main characteristic is chronic stress related to work, causing physical and psychic illnesses, and compromising the job performance outcomes. Effective personal strategies lead to more stress resistance, called Hardy personality or Hardiness, to which there are three estimation of dimensions: commitment, control and challenge. Methodology: a descriptive and exploratory study, with a quantitative approach, and a sample of 171 nurses in hospital environment, from April to October 2016. A 30-item Hardiness Scale, Likert type, was used for collecting data. Results: only three (1.8%) of the professionals have high Hardiness in the mentioned hospital, whereas the other professionals have high level on commitment and low level on challenge. The correlations were presented in 05 (five) dimensions of analysis, which this study is consisted of. That is, the sample socio-emographic profile, association of Hardiness domains with nominal qualitative variables, association of Hardiness domains with ordinal and quantitative qualitative variables, descriptive analysis of Hardiness domain levels, association of Hardiness professionals with nominal qualitative variables, and Ordinal and quantitative. Conclusion: the research findings presented in the study as "Situational Diagnosis of Hardiness among staff nurses" will support preventive measures in the institution

Relationships between appraisal and coping strategies used over time by myocardial infarction patients

Béchard, Pâquerette January 1988 (has links)
This descriptive correlational and longitudinal study was designed to assess the changes in cognitive appraisal of emotions and coping strategies which myocardial infarction (Ml) patients used at two points in time. Additionally, the variables of cognitive appraisal of emotions were investigated for their relationships to coping strategies. A convenience sample of 21 confirmed first MI patients was selected from coronary care units (CCU) of four hospitals in western Canada. Participants completed the Emotion Appraisal Scale, the Revised Ways of Coping checklist as well as an information sheet. Overall, the participants experienced a wide range of the four appraisal types of threat, harm, challenge and benefit. Challenge emotions were the most frequent appraisal type at both interviews. Initially-, benefit emotions were the least frequent appraisal type, while harm emotions were the least frequent at the second period. While results indicated changes, no significant changes were found in the four emotion appraisals of threat, harm, challenge and benefit over time. The complexity of emotions experienced reflects the multifacated nature of the MI situation influencing patients in early phases of recovery. The participants used a variety of coping strategies which are related to emotion-focused and problem-focused coping to manage the demands of their MI. Most of the participants used all eight available types of coping. The strategies of seeking social support, distancing and positive reappraisal were the most predominant types of coping at both interviews. The strategies of self-controlling, planful problem-solving and accepting responsibility were moderately used, while escape-avoidance and confrontive coping were the least used types of coping at both times. The findings suggest that coping with a cardiac event is a complex process. The MI crisis present the patients with multiple tasks which require a combination of coping strategies. At the initial period, a significant relationship was found between threat emotions and planful problem-solving coping. Harm emotions were significantly and positively correlated with accepting responsibility, planful problem-solving and confrontive coping. Similarly, challenge emotions correlated with seeking social support and positive reappraisal coping. Significant relationships were found between benefit emotions and two forms of coping: confrontive and seeking social support coping. At the second period, only two significant correlations were found: benefit emotions significantly correlated with self-controlling and accepting responsibility. The findings suggest that a heart attack is appraised as moderately stressful by first MI patients in early phases of recovery. The MI patients' perception or understanding of the contextual factors affect appraisal of harm, threat, benefit and challenge emotions which in turn influence the choice of coping strategies. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Nursing, School of / Graduate

Copingstrategier hos kvinnor med nydiagnostiserad bröstcancer : en litteraturöversikt / Coping strategies in women with newly diagnosed breast cancer : a literature review

Kantoniemi, Emilia, Svensson, Ida January 2020 (has links)
Bakgrund  Bröstcancer drabbar cirka 2,1 miljoner kvinnor världen över varje år. En bröstcancerdiagnos kan innebära många känslomässiga och sociala utmaningar vilket kan leda till ångest och oro. Coping är en process där individen beteendemässigt och kognitivt anstränger sig för att hantera inre och yttre krav utöver det vanliga, vilket vid en bröstcancerdiagnos kan anses aktuellt. Det är betydelsefullt att sammanställa förekommande copingstrategier hos kvinnor med nydiagnostiserad bröstcancer för att identifiera eventuellt behov av stöd och information.  Syfte  Syftet var att beskriva copingstrategier som förekommer hos kvinnor med nydiagnostiserad bröstcancer. Metod Denna studie genomfördes i form av en icke-systematisk litteraturöversikt. Datainsamlingen genomfördes i databaserna PubMed och CINAHL. De 15 valda artiklarna kvalitetsgranskades och analyserades genom integrerad analysmetod.  Resultat  Resultaten indikerade att acceptans som copingstrategi förekom på medelnivå samt hög nivå. Positiv omvärdering/positiv tolkning förekom på medelnivå. Exempel på positiv tolkning var att se mastektomi som en livräddande åtgärd. Spirituell coping visades ha en hög förekomst hos religiösa kvinnor. Användning av copingstrategier i form av undvikande sågs i en studie tyda på ett ökat lidande i form av ökade symtombesvär. Informationssökande från vårdpersonal, internet och böcker ansågs i en studie vara exempel på socialt stöd i instrumentellt syfte. I en studie visade sig informationssökande ha en effekt av att minska bland annat ångest och oro.  Slutsats  Kvinnor med nydiagnostiserad bröstcancer verkar vidta en rad olika former av copingstrategier som gensvar på diagnos och dess följder. Utifrån kunskap om dessa kan sjuksköterskan vidta lämpliga omvårdnadsåtgärder för att främja anpassning och god hälsa. / Background Breast cancer annually affects about 2.1 million women worldwide. A breast cancer diagnosis may imply various emotional and social challenges which may lead to anxiety and distress. Coping is a process in which an individual undertakes emotional and behavioural efforts to manage internal and external demands beyond her resources, which often may be relevant following a breast cancer diagnosis. It is of interest to compile coping strategies used by women with newly diagnosed breast cancer in order to determine potential needs of additional support and information among these women. Aim The aim was to describe coping strategies that occur among women with newly diagnosed breast cancer. Method This study was conducted in the form of a literature review. The data collection was carried out in the databases PubMed and CINAHL. The 15 selected articles underwent a quality review and were thereafter analysed according to integrated review method. Results The results indicated that acceptance as a coping strategy occurred at a medium and high level. Positive reappraisal/positive reinterpretation occurred at a medium level. An example of positive reinterpretation was to see mastectomy as a lifesaving measure. Spiritual coping was shown to occur at a high level in religious women. The presence of avoidance coping was identified in one study to indicate a higher level of symptom bother. Seeking information from healthcare professionals, the Internet and books was considered in a study to be an example of seeking social support for instrumental reasons. Seeking information was shown in one study to have an effect of reducing the level of distress among women. Conclusions Women with newly diagnosed breast cancer seem to adopt different coping strategies as responses to diagnosis and its consequences. Relevant nursing interventions can be applied to support adaptation and good health based on identified knowledge.
