The broad objective of the present study was to examine suicidal tendencies among cancer patients. A group of 100 cancer patients (Male =50 and female=50) was covered in the study and they were selected purposively from the Regional Cancer Institute, Agartala. Data were collected by Background Information Schedule and Suicidal Tendencies Inventory. Three hypotheses were formulated and they were verified by applying suitable statistical tests. Findings revealed that suicidal tendencies of cancer patients and normal population of the same age group differed significantly (p<.01) which further indicates that cancer patients have lost hope in life and wish to end their lives. Suicidal tendencies of cancer patients across chronicity of the disease also differed significantly (p<.01) which again revealed that the cancer patients who were suffering from this deadly disease for more than one year possessed less suicidal thoughts as compared to the cancer patients who diagnosed recently (less than one year). However male and female cancer patients did not differ significantly in regard to their suicidal tendency.Keywords

Any evaluation of the status of women has to start from the social arrangement, social structures, enlightening norms and value systems that influence social prospect regarding the behaviour of both men and women and decide women's roles and their position in society. A society is composed of many institutions and most important of them are the system of decent, family and kinship, marriage and religious traditions. All of them provide the principles and moral basis for men and women about their rights and duties and their well defined status and role. But unfortunately recently society has become a place where women are tortured and battered and their position in society is being challenged in each and every sphere. Thus in this backdrop the present paper is attempted to investigate the socioeconomic status of women and its significant relation to violence against women. The findings of the present study concluded that socio-economic status of women influences domestic violence. In addition violence takes place mostly among those women who are poor in education, are unemployed, belong to urban area, are culturally backward and finally belonged to poor economic status.Keywords
