초록
This study was to identify the relationship between mental adjustment to cancer and anxiety. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional descriptive design. A total of 124 ambulatory cancer patients completed the Mental Adjustment to Cancer (MAC) scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: There was a significantly negative correlation between anxiety and fighting spirit which was adaptive adjustment to cancer (r=-.29, p<.001). However, anxiety had significantly positive correlation with helplessness/hopelessness (r=.38, p<.001), anxious preoccupation (r=.55, p<.001), and fatalism (r=.22, p<.05) to cancer. The results of multiple regression analysis revealed that anxious preoccupation (R2=.268, p=.000) and helplessness/hopelessness (R2=.043, p=.004) were the predictors of anxiety. Conclusion: Cancer patients' mental adjustment is correlated with the degree of the psychosocial distress. Anxious preoccupation and helplessness/hopelessness are the most maladaptive adjustments whereas fighting spirit is one of the most adaptive adjustment to cancer.
