AMAÇ: Bu çalışma, kanser tanısı alan hastalarda travma sonrası stres bozukluğu (TSSB) sıklığını, stresle başa çıkma biçimlerini, algılanan sosyal destek düzeylerini ve aralarındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.

YÖNTEMLER: Araştırma iki üniversite hastanesinin onkoloji bölümlerinde yapılmıştır. Çalışmada örneklem, altı aylık süre içinde kanser tanısı konulan 300 hastadan oluşmuştur. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, DSM- IV Eksen I Bozuklukları İçin Yapılandırılmış TSSB Klinik Görüşme Formu, Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği ve Stresle Başa Çıkma Tarzları Ölçeği aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. BULGULAR: Hastalarda TSSB görülme oranı %52 olarak bulunmuştur. Kadın, genç- orta yaş grubunda olan, ailesiyle yaşayan, stresle başa çıkma ve sosyal destek düzeyleri düşük olan hastaların TSSB oranlarının anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.

SONUÇ: Çalışma sonuçları, kanser tanısı alan hastaların TSSB yönünden risk taşıdıklarını, sosyal destek ve stresle başa çıkma tarzlarının kanser hastalarının hastalıklarına uyum ve baş etmelerinde etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu riskin azaltılmasında hastaların psikososyal açıdan desteklenmeleri önemli görünmektedir.
