A recent study conducted at the Ocean Road Cancer Institute in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, explored the coping mechanisms used by male partners of women diagnosed with cervical cancer. The study found that male partners experienced disturbances in various aspects of their lives, including physical, psychological, sexual, spiritual, and socioeconomic aspects. The coping mechanisms identified in the study included religious coping, emotional expression and regulation strategies, support-seeking strategies, and problem-solving strategies. While most coping mechanisms were adaptive, some were maladaptive, highlighting the need for regular assessment and support for this population. [Extracted from the article] |
