Effect of Stress and Social Support in Cervix Cancer Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cancer of the cervix is a significant public health problem globally, especially in developing countries where it is the most common cancer in women. The psychological impact of cervical cancer is also significant. Each patient experience a range of practical, psychological and emotional challenges as a result of their diagnosis and treatment related adverse effects. In early stages it may be treatment that causes most stress, rather than the effects of the disease itself. This may impair the individual’s coping abilities. Women with cervix cancer pass through a period with significant life changes that require immense psychological and social support. The present theoretical paper is an attempt to understand the effects of stress and social support in cervix cancer patients.
