Sixty-seven women treated for breast cancer completed a battery of psychological tests to examine which psychological variables contributed most to several indexes of adjustment. An avoidant style of coping was associated with poorer adjustment on several different indexes, and an active coping style was associated with better adjustment on several indexes. Denial was related to poort adjustment on only one index - orientation ot health care. Day-to-day stresses were an important predictor of both psychological and domestic adjustment. Health locus of control and the stage and duration of cancer were not related to any adjustment indexes. |
