Purpose: Cancer coping self-efficacy refers to an individual's confidence in dealing with challenges from cancer-related events, and a positive association with quality of life (QoL) has been demonstrated. Considering unresolved physical and psychological symptoms at the survivorship phase, which are known to worsen QoL, the association between cancer coping self-efficacy and QoL needs to be evaluated controlling for known contributing factors of QoL. This study aimed to describe cancer survivors' cancer coping self-efficacy, symptoms and their relationship with QoL.
Methods: A descriptive correlational study was conducted. Participants were cancer survivors who completed intended treatment except for hormone therapy (N = 240). Cancer coping self-efficacy, symptoms, and QoL were measured. To evaluate the association of cancer survivors' cancer coping self-efficacy with QoL, correlation and multiple regression analysis were conducted.
Results: Cancer coping self-efficacy demonstrated a significant positive association with QoL. Symptoms had a significant negative association with QoL. Fully active cancer survivors demonstrated significantly better QoL than those with functional deterioration. Self-efficacy for using spiritual coping had a significant positive association with QoL, along with symptoms and functional status, which explained 37.5% of QoL.
Conclusions: Cancer survivors' QoL was related to spiritual coping self-efficacy, symptoms and functional status. Improving spiritual coping self-efficacy and managing symptoms reflecting survivors' functional status need to be integrated into survivorship care.
