A study looking at spiritual beliefs and how people cope with cancer

This study was trying to find out if there was a link between spiritual beliefs and how people coped with cancer. The study was for people with very advanced cancer that couldn’t be cured, but who were having treatment for their symptoms (palliative care) at home.

In this study, the researchers used questionnaires to ask people about their spiritual beliefs and how they felt about having very advanced cancer. They wanted to see if people’s beliefs changed over time and if this affected how they coped with their feelings.

They also wanted to look at the link between spiritual beliefs, how people coped with having advanced cancer and their treatment.
