To analyze the coping style classification and its influencing factors of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy after surgery based on latent profile analysis
Objective To analyze the potential categories of coping styles among breast cancer patients and explore the factors that influence them.Methods A total of 601 breast cancer patients from three hospitals in Anhui Province were selected as research participants between September 2021 and May 2022.Questionnaire investigations were conducted u-sing the simple coping questionnaire,perceived stress scale,and perceived social support scale.Results The coping style of breast cancer patients undergoing postoperative chemotherapy were divided into three categories:the"negative group"(C1),the"positive group"(C2)and the"high positive-high negative group"(C3).Significant differences were observed in the average monthly income,residence,perceived stress,and perceived social support scores among the different categories of breast cancer patients with.postoperative chemotherapy(P<0.05).Compared with the active group,the"negative group"was less likely to have perceived social support(OR=0.957,P<0.001),and higher levels of perceived stress(OR=1.069,P<0.01)were associated with a greater likelihood of being in the"negative group".Living in a rural area(OR=1.510,P<0.05)increased the likelihood of being in the"high positive-high negative group",and higher levels of perceived stress(OR=1.097,P<0.001)were associated with a higher likelihood of being in the"high positive-high negative group".Compared with the"negative group",higher levels of perceived social sup-port(OR=1.043,P<0.001)were associated with a higher likelihood of being in the"high positive-high negative group",while a monthly income less than 3 000 yuan(OR=0.431,P<0.05)decreased the likelihood of being in the high positive-high negative group.Conclusion This study categorizes coping styles in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy into three potential categories.Based on these findings,professional nursing staff and health educators can provide personalized psychological intervention to the specific coping styles of individuals.
