Context-Adults who have advanced cancer experience distress, and many use religion and spirituality to cope. Research on the spiritual experiences of advanced cancer patients will help guide the provision of high-quality spiritual care.

Methods-We conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews at a single cancer center with 21 patients with stage IV solid malignancies who had a prognosis of less than 12 months, as estimated by each patient's medical oncologist. Five investigators conducted a thematic analysis of the transcribed interviews.

“…It can be asserted that, regardless of the participants' type of cancer, culture, religion, or ethnic group, spirituality positively enhances participants' psychological adjustment to their cancer.

Objective:The objective was to identify and understand the coping strategies of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients.Methods:A mixed-methods approach including quantitative and qualitative methods was used to collect data from Jordanian patients. In the quantitative phase, we aimed to determine the coping strategies employed in a representative sample (n = 200) of Jordanian adult patients with CRC using the Jalowiec Coping Scale. In the qualitative phase, we aimed to understand these coping strategies through an in-depth and detailed exploration. A sample of ten participants was chosen purposefully based on their coping score in the quantitative phase, and interviews were conducted. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS software version 23. Qualitative data were analyzed using directed content analysis.Results:Results from the quantitative phase indicated that evasive coping strategies were used predominantly, followed by confrontive coping strategies and optimistic coping strategies. In contrast, fatalistic and emotive coping strategies had the lowest scores. In addition, the results indicated that the total scores for the effectiveness of coping strategies ranged from 42 to 143, with a mean of 93.45 (standard deviation 13.67); higher scores reflected greater effectiveness. Content analysis in the qualitative phase identified three themes, and subcategories emerged, including perceived collaborative support, increased awareness of treatment, and internal power.Conclusions:CRC patients used different coping strategies to face the new challenge. Oncology nurses can play a pivotal role in enhancing these coping strategies through implementing multidisciplinary programs.

“…Further studies in various settings and languages reported similar findings. [17][18][19] In Astrow and colleagues' 17 work with 727 patients with differing ethnicities, languages, and religions in four outpatient settings, most patients reported at least one spiritual need. Needing help with finding hope, prayer, or meditation, meaning in the illness experience, and relationship with God or other were the most frequently cited needs.…”
