| Abstract: | Research on the relationship between religious coping and psychological well-being in cancer survivors is limited. Forty-eight
veteran cancer survivors completed measures of psychological distress, posttraumatic growth, and positive and negative religious
coping. Negative religious coping was associated with greater distress and growth. Positive religious coping was associated
with greater growth. Gender, race, and religious affiliation were significant predictors of positive and negative religious
coping. Veteran cancer survivors who utilize negative religious coping may benefit from referral to clergy or a mental health
professional. Assessment of religious coping may be particularly important for female, non-White, and Christian cancer survivors. |
