RESEARCH DESIGN: A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational design was used in this study. One hundred and twenty-four (N=124) patients were recruited. The Background Information Form, the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) Scales, the Herth Hope Index (HHI), and patients~ medical records were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Chi-square, Pearson~s correlation, and multiple regression. RESULTS: The major findings of this study are as follows: (1) overall, cancer patients had medium levels of hope; (2) patients who were aware of their own diagnosis reported significantly higher levels of hope than those who were not informed of their own diagnosis; (3) patients who were aware of their diagnosis tended to have higher levels of the internal locus of control than those who were not informed; (4) the internal health locus of control was significantly positively related to levels of hope; (5) the chance health locus of control was significantly negatively related to levels of hope. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study provide important implications for Taiwanese clinicians concerning the practice of diagnostic disclosure of cancer to patients. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=10423 ------>authors2=Tsay HF ------>authors3= ------>authors4= ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Lin CC ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Relationships among perceived diagnostic disclosure, health locus of control, and levels of hope in Taiwanese cancer patients. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2005 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=None |
