“…This is supported by other studies examining the effectiveness of religious coping for different individuals across various contexts. For instance, one study demonstrated that lower perceptions of pain among Muslim cancer patients in Iran were significantly related to positive religious coping (Goudarzian et al, 2018 ). This is in tandem with another study that found that religious coping increases the individual’s acceptance of unchangeable circumstances and tolerance towards perceived life hardships (Tehri-Kharameh et al, 2013 ).…”

The reported high rates of deaths and negative psychological outcomes of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic have led to an increased empirical interest in examining the contributing factors of coping during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adolescents living in Arab societies have unique challenges that may increase the likelihood of exhibiting symptoms of stress during this crisis. However, this population has been understudied in this context. The current research aims to elucidate factors that may contribute to Arab Israeli-Palestinian students’ coping abilities during the COVID-19 pandemic by investigating the relationship between coping with stress during the COVID-19 outbreak and both self-control and religiosity. To our knowledge, the present study is the first to investigate the relationship of coping with stress during the COVID-19 outbreak with self-control skills and religiosity among Arab Israeli-Palestinian college students in Israel ( n = 465). Correlational analyses and stepwise multiple regression models were used to examine these relationships. The stepwise multiple regression model demonstrated that (1) higher levels of self-control ( β = .19, p < .01) and religiosity ( β = .16, p < .01) predicted higher levels of adaptive, problem-focused coping, and (2) higher levels of self-control ( β = −.21, p < .01) and religiosity ( β = −.17, p < .01) predicted lower levels of maladaptive, emotion-focused coping. Thus, the current research demonstrates the importance of these variables in countering stress resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak in non-Western societies. These findings are consistent with previous literature that has addressed the impact of self-control and religiosity in improving coping behaviours in Western societies.

“…In the advanced stages of cancer, patients often need more self‐care information for various reasons, such as tumor growth and side effects from various treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. 10 , 11 , 12 Increasing self‐care information in them will lead to increased participation in the treatment selection process, increase self‐care, reduce anxiety and worry, and thus improve quality of life. 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 Over the past few decades, extensive research efforts have been made to assess the information needs of patients with lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and various types of cancer.…”

Background and Aims One of the main vital needs for self‐care in patients with advanced cancer is information need. Meeting this need has significant positive effects on improving their treatment and care. This study was conducted to identify the unmet information needs of patients with advanced cancer in Iran. Methods This exploratory study was performed from July to February 2021 in the Kerman University of Medical Sciences cancer treatment centers. Oncologists selected eligible patients by purposeful sampling method. Semistructured and in‐depth interviews were conducted with selected patients to collect data. Interviews continued until data saturation. Each interview was audio‐recorded and transcribed verbatim. Results In the interviews, 15 patients with advanced cancer ranging in age from 43 to 65 years participated. The most common type of cancer in women was breast (71.4%) and prostate (50%) in men. The two main categories of “types of unmet information needs” and “reasons for not meeting information needs” were extracted from the analysis of patient interviews, with six and four subcategories, respectively. Conclusion Cancer patients had a large number of unmet information needs. At the time of identifying the unmet information needs of cancer patients, the basic reasons for not meeting these needs should also be considered because cultural differences and social gaps in societies are inevitable.

“…Cancer can reduce people's ability to do routine work, followed by feelings of depression, frustration, and other psychological problems (4)(5)(6). Boyes et al (2012) also expressed that the highest level of support needs is in selfcare about physical needs and adaptation to illness in their own lives (7).…”

“…In the study of Moghaddam et al (2016), the most critical primary needs of patients with cancer were a de ciency in daily care, fatigue, pain, and the lack of advice from the treatment staff (8). Following this, self-care de ne as one of the most effective methods for controlling the physical and psychological effects (6). According to Orem's de nition, self-care can consider as covering all activities for the protection of life, health, and well-being (9,10).…”

“…Thus, the importance of the ability of a patient with cancer in self-care and review of other studies shows that explore the self-care needs of patients, rehabilitation, and helping them with daily activities can make a signi cant contribution to reducing the psychological complications of the disease. One of the developmentally tasks of patients with cancer is to take care of themselves, but in patients cancer survivors have created special self-care needs (6). Due to the complexity, ambiguity and multidimensionality of self-care needs during this period, this study aimed to clarify the dimensions and characteristics of self-care needs of in patients with cancer through the qualitative study.…”
