Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare copying styles between cancer patients and healthy people. The statistical population of this study consisted of all patients who had referred to Laleh Hospital as well as Breast Cancer Research Center. Among them, 80 patients were selected by convenience sampling. Healthy people were selected by random sampling method and the groups were matched in age and education level with each other. The Coping Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ) of Lazarus and Folkman was used and the collected data was introduced to SPSS and was analyzed by descriptive statistical methods as well as ANOVA analysis. The results of this study showed that cancer patients mostly use emotion-focused coping strategies compared with healthy people and they generally use the subscales of confrontive coping, escape-avoidance and seeking social support while they hardly use the subscales of self-controlling, accepting responsibility, planful problem solving and positive reappraisal.
