背景：患有乳腺癌的女性经历了影响生活质量和生活满意度的压力源。关于精神斗争作为一种应对策略对生活质量和生活满意度的影响，我们知之甚少。目的：考察精神斗争、生活质量和生活满意度之间的关系。方法：随机抽取100名来自互联网网站的受试者，邮寄问卷。使用三种工具：乳腺癌专用版癌症治疗功能评定量表(FACT-B)、慢性病治疗功能评估-精神生活质量联合量表(Facit-Sp-12)、宗教应对消极应对量表(RCOPE)用于精神斗争，以及单一项目测量生活满意度。研究结果：精神斗争、生活质量(r=-.36，p<；.001)和生活满意度(r=-.31，p<；.001)之间存在着微小的负相关关系。结论：精神斗争为女性提出的问题提供了声音，暗示着生活质量和生活满意度较低。影响：评估和帮助管理精神斗争是必要的，以提高那些面临困难健康问题的人的生活质量和生活满意度。
Background: Women with breast cancer experience stressors affecting quality of life (QOL) and life satisfaction. Little is known about effects of spiritual struggle as a coping strategy on QOL and life satisfaction. Purpose: Examine relationships between spiritual struggle, QOL, and life satisfaction. Method: Nonprobablility sample of 100 participants recruited from an Internet Web site with mailed questionnaires. Three instruments were used: breast cancer-specific version of Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Scale (FACT-B), Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual (FACIT-Sp-12) combined for QOL, Negative Coping subscale of Religious Coping (RCOPE) for spiritual struggle, and a single-item measuring life satisfaction. Findings: Small inverse relationships between spiritual struggle, QOL (r = -.36, p < .001), and life satisfaction (r = -.31, p < .001) existed. Conclusions: Spiritual struggle gives voice to women's questionings implying lower QOL and life satisfaction. Implications: Assessment of and assistance with managing spiritual struggle are necessary to promote QOL and life satisfaction among those facing difficult health problems.
