Özet
Objective: This study was performed to determine the relationship between the cancer patients' level of meaning of life and the level of self-efficacy in coping with cancer, and the factors impacting this relation. Materials and Methods: The sample of this cross- sectional study consisted of 177 adult patients hospitalized in the Medical Oncology Clinic. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Meaning and Purpose in Life Scale (MPLS), and the Cancer Behavior Inventory-Brief Version (CBI-B). Results: A significant difference was determined between the median scores of MPLS and the CBI-B scale in terms of age, marital status, educational status, income status, and employment status of the patients (p<0.05). A statisti- cally positive significant correlation was found between the mean values of MPLS and CBI-B total scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: As the meaning in the lives of cancer pa- tients increases, their self-efficacy levels in coping with cancer increases.
