Abstract

As a potentially devastating experience, cancer can also be a source of beneficial life improvements. In this research, we discuss the link between cancer and PTG, as well as the efficacy of Coping in the Post-Traumatic Phase in cancer survivors. The sample consisted of 100 cancer patients, 32 male and 68 female (Mean age= 52 years; Min.=18 years, Max.=77 years), who were chosen at random from the Department of Oncology at the Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences in Jalandhar, Punjab (PIMMS). The demographic factors questionnaire sample was designed to collect information about gender, age, marital status, income, educational qualification, kind of cancer, time since diagnosis, and other aspects of the diagnosis. To assess the Post-Traumatic Phase, the Post-Traumatic Phase Inventory-Short Form (PTGI-SF) was employed. Brief COPE was used to assess Coping in cancer patient survivors. Correlation values revealed a positive and substantial relationship between all aspects as well as the overall Posttraumatic Phase and Adaptive Coping, whereas Avoidant Coping showed a negligible relationship with Post-traumatic Phase. Regression research revealed that approach coping had a 23% variance in the Post-traumatic Phase model. There was no substantial difference in Coping and Post-traumatic Phases between survivors based on their residential status or therapy. However, ANOVA revealed a significant difference in the Coping and Post-traumatic Phases of survivors' marital status
