“…In confirmation of our findings, a statistically significant inverse relationship was observed between stress and quality of life in studies. [9,[24][25][26] Regarding the effect of stress on the quality of life, it has been shown that one of the destructive effects of stress on the quality of life can be the patient's choice of emotion-oriented methods, and the use of these emotion-oriented methods reduces their quality of life. In addition to the destructive effects of stress on the quality of life, stress reduces the use of effective and efficient strategies and the use of passive and avoidant strategies.…”

Prostate cancer lowers the life quality and anxiety and stress intensify this negative effect. The present study was conducted to specify the relationship between life quality and depression, anxiety, and stress in people suffering from prostate cancer. This study is of a descriptive-analytical type in which 100 patients with prostate cancer were selected using convenience sampling and answered the life quality questionnaire and the scale of hospital depression anxiety. Data analysis was done by SPSS 21 software. The average scores of life quality, stress, anxiety, and depression were 50.70, 12.87, 14.60, and 12.52, respectively. A statistically significant inverse relationship was observed between life quality variables with stress (-0.583), depression (-0.329), and anxiety (-0.312). Based on the results of this study, it can be stated that depression and anxiety decrease the life quality. The life of prostate cancer patients seems to be necessary in addition to medical treatments, to implement proper psychological interventions to increase the life quality of prostate cancer patients.

“…The purpose of the study is to investigate the perception of stress in people with cancer and other factors influencing their well-being and QOL. Perceived stress is the concept under consideration; it refers to "the individual's assessment of a given situation as stressful and their perception of inadequate coping ability' (Okwuosa, Onu, & Onyedibe, 2024). The health of cancer patients is also negatively affected by the inability to manage stress levels.…”

“…Stress has the potential to influence the initiation, advancement, and spread of cancerous tumors. The term "perceived stress" refers to how an individual views their current circumstances (such as their health) and how it affects their capacity to cope (Okwuosa, Onu, & Onyedibe, 2024). Inadequately addressing the stress levels in patients can significantly impact their overall well-being and health (Al-Ghabeesh, Al-Kalaldah, Rayan, Al-Rifai, & Al-Halaiqa, 2019).…”

Experiencing a cancer diagnosis and going through treatment can lead to turmoil potentially resulting in lasting negative effects. Self-compassion plays a role in helping individuals maintain or improve their quality (QOL) while managing stress related to challenging life circumstances and hardships. The current research aimed to examine how cancer patients perceive stress, QOL and self-compassion are correlated. It also investigated how self-compassion plays a mediating function in the relationship of perceived stress and QOL. The study involved 84 grown up cancer patients aged between 18 and 50 years. These individuals were selected from hospitals in Karachi, Pakistan using a purposive sampling method. The evaluation tools used included the Perceived Stress Scale, the Self-compassion Scale and The World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL BREF). Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS 25 software with Correlation and Process Macro techniques. Results displayed a positive link between self-compassion and QOL (r=.683; p<.01) as well as a significant negative connection between perceived stress and QOL (r=-.690; p<.01). Additionally, the mediation analysis discovered that self-compassion played a mediating part in the relationship between perceived stress and QOL. This study could be valuable in addressing psychological aspects related to cancer to enhance the QOL for patients. Implementing interventions/policies focusing on self-compassion in cancer care programs, initiating support systems for wellbeing and providing training, for healthcare providers and caregivers are steps forward.
