“…Te fndings of this study are supported by previous studies in both low-income and high-income countries that show the importance of social support in coping with stressful situations encountered by caregivers of cancer patients [17,21,30]. Efective support from friends, family members, and other close people is associated with low levels of anxiety and depression, prompt social adjustment, and elevated self-esteem [44]. As such, the QOL among caregivers of cancer patients can be improved [23].…”

Cervical cancer has a significant impact on the lives of caregivers of cervical cancer patients, including male partners. Disturbances in physical, psychological, sexual, spiritual, and socioeconomical aspects of life are reported by male partners of cervical cancer patients. To reduce the impact associated with cervical cancer, adaptive coping mechanisms are needed. In this regard, little is known about the coping mechanisms used by male partners of women diagnosed with cervical cancer in sub-Saharan African countries. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the coping mechanisms used by male partners of women diagnosed with cervical cancer at the Ocean Road Cancer Institute in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. A descriptive cross-sectional study design with a qualitative approach was employed to explore coping strategies used by male partners of cervical cancer patients between December 2022 and March 2023. Participants were selected using a purposeful sampling technique guided by the principles of saturation. In-depth interviews with thirteen male partners of cervical cancer patients were carried out, and the interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data were then analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. Four themes highlighting coping mechanisms used by male partners of cervical patients were identified after data analysis. They include religious coping, emotional expression and regulation strategies, support-seeking strategies, and problem-solving strategies. Male partners of cervical cancer patients used various mechanisms to cope with the stressful situations they encountered. While most of the coping mechanisms used by male partners of cervical cancer patients were adaptive, some were maladaptive. Therefore, regular assessment among this population needs to be done to identify maladaptive coping and provide relevant support.

Introduction While numerous studies have investigated the correlations between Belief in a Just World (BJW) and various variables, research on its stability and changes among different individuals, particularly in China, remains limited. Methods This study aims to identify the classification and trajectories of BJW among Chinese adolescents using a person-oriented approach, including latent profile analysis and latent transition analysis. It also examines the impact of social status on BJW and its influence on self-regulated learning. The longitudinal data were collected from 756 Chinese high school students (35.71% male, Mage = 16.00, age range = 14–19). Results Three distinct BJW profiles were identified: High-level BJW (~33%), Moderate-level BJW (~51%), and Low-level BJW (~14%). The findings indicate that membership in moderate and high BJW profiles was relatively stable, while the low-level BJW profile showed moderate stability. Higher perceptions of BJW were associated with higher subjective social status. Additionally, students in the High-level BJW profile exhibited the highest levels of self-regulated learning, even after controlling for gender, residence, class cadre, and parental educational levels. Discussion These results suggest that subjective social status can enhance Belief in a Just World, which in turn fosters better self-regulated learning skills. The study offers insights into the role of BJW and provides implications for interventions aimed at improving BJW and associated outcomes.
