More Information
Summary:[...]it was aimed to investigate the relationships between emotional control, coping styles, and perceived personal threat of contracting COVID-19 and the pandemic-related anxiety of cancer patients. [...]there has been an increase in anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, and stress-related issues (Torales et al. 2020). According to another study conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, positive reframing, acceptance, and the use of humor were all found to be coping methods associated with better mental health (Gurvich et al. 2021). [...]cancer patients' anxiety regarding this pandemic has not been studied. Since cancer patients are actively struggling with a chronic disease, it is thought that they may react differently to stress than the average population during the period of the pandemic.
