    Main Results:

    • Identified six distinct coping themes: rejection, control, resignation, dependency, avoidance, and minimization.
    • These themes represent the qualitative style of an individual's response.
    • Demonstrated the themes' utility in understanding patient coping.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed six-theme model offers a clear framework for understanding coping styles.
    • This classification highlights the qualitative nature of coping responses.
    • The model is applicable to various patient populations, including those with cancer and surgical conditions.
