Abstract
Using a perspective based on relational theory, the influence of several relationship factors on women's adjustment to cancer was examined in 49 cancer patients, all mothers with young children. The results indicated that women who report higher mutuality, fewer self-silencing beliefs, and fewer coping strategies of protective buffering experience a more positive psychosocial adaptation to cancer.
