本研究确定并比较了中国，韩国和墨西哥裔美国乳腺癌幸存者（BCS）的应对策略。六个焦点小组进行了中国-（n = 21），韩国-（n = 11），墨西哥裔美国人（n = 9）BCS。访谈录音，转录和翻译的主题内容分析的应对经验和策略。妇女报告说，使用八种应对策略（宗教/精神，利益发现，宿命论，乐观，战斗精神，寻求信息，否认，自我分心）。在华裔美国BCS中，利益发现是最常引用的应对策略，而宗教/精神应对是最常见的韩国和墨西哥裔美国BCS。否认和自我分散是最少被引用的策略。幸存者利用新发现的内在力量，成功地将他们的癌症经历融入他们的生活。应对模式必须考虑癌症幸存者的多样性和文化少数民族BCS之间的应对策略的变化。
The present study identified and compared the coping strategies of Chinese-, Korean-, and Mexican-American breast cancer survivors (BCS). Six focus groups were conducted with Chinese- (n = 21), Korean- (n = 11), and Mexican-American (n = 9) BCS. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and translated for thematic content analysis of coping experiences and strategies. Women reported the use of eight coping strategies (religious/spiritual, benefit finding, fatalism, optimism, fighting spirit, information seeking, denial, and self-distraction). Among Chinese-American BCS, benefit finding was the most referenced coping strategy, whereas religious/spiritual coping was most frequently reported among Korean- and Mexican-American BCS. Denial and self-distraction were the least cited strategies. Survivors draw upon new found inner strength to successfully integrate their cancer experience into their lives. Coping models must consider the diversity of cancer survivors and the variability in coping strategies among cultural ethnic minority BCS.
