Abstract

FERREIRA DA SILVA, Ruy  and  BENICIO DA COSTA NETO, Sebastião. Coping Strategies And Personality Traits Of Individuals Diagnosed With Onco-Hematological Disease. Subj. procesos cogn. [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.1, pp.57-81. ISSN 1852-7310.

Patients suffering from an onco-hematological condition require care and the use of strategies to stimulate clinical change throughout the treatment. We will analyze the coping strategies of and personality traits of 55 individual, of both sexes, aged 18 to 70, recently diagnosed with onco-hematological malady, undergoing hospital treatment. The present study is descriptive, exploratory and prospective. Instruments: a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, the Lazarus and Folkman Inventory of coping strategies, validated for Brazil, and the questionnaire of the Big Five Personality Factors. Results: The most commonly used coping strategy was social support and the most relevant personality trait was the extraversion trait. A penchant for company as a way of coping was found. We aim to understand if support and clinical change take place only through a psychotherapeutic relationship or if social support groups where these individuals can feel listened to and understood, from a humanistic perspective, can provide a possibility for change and better prognosis.

Keywords : Coping strategies; Onco-hematological malady; Diagnostic phase; Personality.
