Age Differences in the Coping Strategies of Patients With Colorectal Cancer
Conclusion
Differences in psychological distress, social support, and self-transcendence due to age are important protective or risk factors for the use of coping strategies among CRC patients.
Implications for Practice
Considering our findings, we encourage healthcare professionals to be aware of patients' coping strategies and take them into account when planning age-specific interventions related to coping, before hospital discharge.
