Abstract:
PURPOSE:To identify and examine religious and spiritual coping strategies among elderly women with newly diagnosed breast cancer. METHODS:A convenience sample of 33 women age 65 years was recruited within 6 months of diagnosis. Respondents participated in a structured interview with open-ended questions. Transcripts of the interviews were analysed independently by three researchers and themes were discussed until consensus was reached. RESULTS:Participants' religious background was varied: 17 Protestant, five Catholic, six Jews, and four Other. There was great variation in the frequency of religious service attendance. Religious and/or spiritual belief either increased or stayed the same during the time of health crisis. Analysis of transcripts revealed three themes. Religious and spiritual faith provided respondents with the emotional support necessary to deal with their breast cancer (91%), with social support (70%), and with the ability to make meaning in their everyday life, particularly during their cancer experience (64%). CONCLUSIONS:Religious and spiritual faith provides elderly women newly diagnosed with breast cancer with important tools for coping with their illness and should be recognized by diagnosing physicians. It may be important to encourage these patients to seek religious support and/or to reconnect with their religious community.
