Abstract:
The study aimed mainly to find out how able is woman suffering
from breast cancer to use efficient coping strategies based on problem
solving, and hence, how able she is to achieve psycho-social adjustment.
In this respect, we carried out a comparative study between cancerous
and healthy women. The sample is composed of 100 women (50
cancerous and 50 healthy), and we used the coping strategies and
adjustment tests.
The results show that breast cancerous women are unable to be
psycho-socially adjusted, because of their dependence on inefficient
strategies which are based on emotions, the cause behind that is the
nature of situation they live because of the breast cancerous they cannot
change that situation that is essay, they tend to the coping strategies
which they think are appropriate to that situation and able to help
reduce the emotion level and cope temporary, consequently, they cannot
be completely psycho-socially adjusted.
