Adaptation to cancer among Polish patients with cervical cancer in relation to illness acceptance, life satisfaction, and dispositional optimism

The most chosen style by the patients was the constructive style, as opposed to the destructive style, which promotes acceptance of illness, life satisfaction, and dispositional optimism. The determinants influencing acceptance of illness, life satisfaction, and optimism, as well as adaptation to cancer, were age, place of residence, duration of illness, and type of procedure performed.
