Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between coping strategies, religious attitude, and optimism of mothers of children with cancer. The sample was 97 mothers of children with cancer. To collect data, the Coping Strategy Questionnaire, Religious Attitude Scale, and Life Orientation were used. There were positive correlations between the total score of Coping Strategy Questionnaire and emotional scores of Religious Attitude Scale ( r = 0.170, p = .04). The correlation relationship between mothers' coping, religious tendencies, and optimism tendencies was not significant ( p > .05). There were also positive correlations between Coping Strategy Questionnaire Social Support Seeking subscale and the total scores of Religious Attitude Scale ( r = 0.189, p = .03) and Life Orientation Test ( r = 0.183, p = .03). Mothers with a higher religious attitude had bettter social support and were more optimistic. These results will contribute to understanding the influence of religion in different cultures.
