摘要

宫颈癌对宫颈癌患者的照顾者(包括男性伴侣)的生活产生了重大影响。据报告,宫颈癌患者的男性伴侣在生理、心理、性、精神和社会经济生活等方面都受到了干扰。为了减少与宫颈癌相关的影响,需要有适应性的应对机制。在这方面,撒哈拉以南非洲国家对确诊宫颈癌妇女的男性伴侣所使用的应对机制知之甚少。因此,本研究旨在探讨坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆海洋路癌症研究所确诊为宫颈癌妇女的男性伴侣所使用的应对机制。本研究采用了描述性横断面研究设计和定性方法,以探讨宫颈癌患者的男性伴侣在 2022 年 12 月至 2023 年 3 月期间所使用的应对策略。在饱和原则的指导下,采用有目的的抽样技术选取参与者。研究人员对 13 名宫颈癌患者的男性伴侣进行了深入访谈,并对访谈内容进行了录音和逐字记录。然后采用主题分析法对数据进行了分析。经过数据分析,确定了宫颈癌患者男性伴侣所使用的应对机制的四个主题。它们包括宗教应对、情绪表达和调节策略、寻求支持策略和解决问题策略。宫颈癌患者的男性伴侣使用了各种机制来应对他们所遇到的压力情况。虽然宫颈癌患者的男性伴侣所使用的大多数应对机制都是适应性的,但也有一些是不适应性的。因此,需要对这一人群进行定期评估,以识别适应不良的应对方式并提供相关支持。

Coping Mechanisms Used by Male Partners of Women Diagnosed with Cervical Cancer: An Explorative Qualitative Study at Ocean Road Cancer Institute in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Cervical cancer has a significant impact on the lives of caregivers of cervical cancer patients, including male partners. Disturbances in physical, psychological, sexual, spiritual, and socioeconomical aspects of life are reported by male partners of cervical cancer patients. To reduce the impact associated with cervical cancer, adaptive coping mechanisms are needed. In this regard, little is known about the coping mechanisms used by male partners of women diagnosed with cervical cancer in sub-Saharan African countries. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the coping mechanisms used by male partners of women diagnosed with cervical cancer at the Ocean Road Cancer Institute in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. A descriptive cross-sectional study design with a qualitative approach was employed to explore coping strategies used by male partners of cervical cancer patients between December 2022 and March 2023. Participants were selected using a purposeful sampling technique guided by the principles of saturation. In-depth interviews with thirteen male partners of cervical cancer patients were carried out, and the interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data were then analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. Four themes highlighting coping mechanisms used by male partners of cervical patients were identified after data analysis. They include religious coping, emotional expression and regulation strategies, support-seeking strategies, and problem-solving strategies. Male partners of cervical cancer patients used various mechanisms to cope with the stressful situations they encountered. While most of the coping mechanisms used by male partners of cervical cancer patients were adaptive, some were maladaptive. Therefore, regular assessment among this population needs to be done to identify maladaptive coping and provide relevant support.
