Objective:
To determine the perception of problem-solving skills in cancer patients related to control focus.
Methods:
This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at the Manisa State Hospital, Manisa, Turkey, between May and December 2015, and comprised outpatients monitored by the Radiation Oncology department. Focus of control scale, problem solving inventory and a self-generated socio-demographic form were used as data collection instruments. SPSS 15 was used for data analysis.
Results:
Of the 263 subjects, 133(50.6%) were women and 130(49.4%) were men with an overall mean age of 56.98±12.32 years. Personality characteristics and their type of control focus affected problem solving skill (p<0.05). Gender, education level, income level, and status of obtaining help from family-type health professionals had an effect on their control focus type and problem solving (p<0.05).
Conclusions:
Personality characteristics and their type of focus influenced perception of problem solving in cancer patients.
