Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that impact cancer coping for patients with brain tumor.
Method: Patients diagnosed with brain tumor within the past two years were recruited from one hospital in Seoul. Data were collected from October 12th 2016 to November 18th 2016. The structured Questionnaires included the Korean Cancer Coping Questionnaire (K-CCQ), the Mishel’s Uncertainty in Illness Scale-Brain Tumor (MUIS-BT), and the Tae’s healthcare professionals’ support in social support scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0. Specifically, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe’s test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression were used.
Result: The multiple regression analysis showed statistically significant results for economic status (β=.133, p=.009), decreased motor grade (β=-.125, p=.014), and healthcare professionals’ support (β=.785, p<.001).
Conclusion: Results from this study indicated that economic status, decreased motor grade, and healthcare professionals’ support influenced cancer coping in brain tumor patients. Study results can be used to improve cancer coping of brain tumor patients. To improve cancer coping for brain tumor patients, it is necessary to use an integrative approach regarding economical problem, neurologic deficit, and healthcare professionals’ support.
