Differences in Psychological Coping with Illness During the Treatment and Survivorship Phases in Adolescents According to Age and Sex
The coping strategies of adolescents with cancer vary significantly between the treatment and follow-up phases, with greater use of certain strategies during treatment and a decline in their use post-treatment. These findings highlight the evolving emotional demands of each stage and emphasize the need for targeted interventions that address the specific coping needs unique to each phase. Such targeted interventions in clinical settings could support emotional management by adapting strategies to the distinct challenges faced by adolescents during treatment and post-treatment phases.
