dc.description.abstractObjectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between marital adjustment and coping strategies in married women with breast cancer. Methods: This research was carried out by comparing a group of women with breast cancer with a non-cancer control group bearing similar attributes. The sample included 50 women who have been treated for breast cancer at Hacettepe University Oncology Hospital and 50 from the general surgical service of the same hospital. In the study three instruments were used: Descriptive Knowledge Form, Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and Ways of Coping Inventory. The data were evaluated Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U, and Correlation Analysis. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in socio-demographic characteristics of women with breast cancer and those without except the city of residence. A positive correlation was found between the scores of marital adjustment and effective coping in the correlation analysis. (r=0.32, p<0.05). There was also a negative correlation between the scores of marital adjustment and ineffective coping (r=-0.38, p<0.05). Conclusion: Women with breast cancer can cope more effectively when marital adjustment of the couples increases. Nursing assessment about marital adjustment and patients' coping strategies can be helpful for better adjustment to cancer experiences.en_US
