Contextual factors, cognitive appraisal, and quality of life during cancer treatment

Other Titles

QOL in Cancer Care

Abstract

Contextual factors and cognitive appraisals of stress provide strong explanatory power for variations in quality of life scores following the diagnosis of cancer. An improved understanding of the cancer experience trajectory enhances the health care community's ability to support those in treatment and their perceptions of the disease.
