The cancer is curable disease, however appropriate coping and adjustment is important in facing chronic diseases, especially during the treatment period. Regardless of prognosis, the initial diagnosis of cancer is still perceived by many patients as a life-threatening event. Patients undergoing treatment for cancer face major physical and emotional challenges. All these factors have a negative impact on prognosis of illness. Most patients with chronic illnesses suffer at least some adverse psychological reactions as a result of the disease; however, do not seek formal or informal psychological treatment for their symptoms. Instead, they draw on their internal and social resources for solving problems and alleviating psychological distress. The present study is an attempt to examine fear of death, depression and coping among cancer patients. A sample of 60 cancer patients from Apollo BSR Hospital, Bhilai (C.G.) was randomly selected. Fear of death and depression level in cancer patients were measured by the Fear of Personal Death Scale and the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI). The Cope Scale was administered to measure their coping strategies. It was observed that 21.7% patients had fear of death; 46.7% had moderate level of depression followed by mild (38.3%). Cancer patients used Emotion focused coping (M = 11.22) more than problem solving coping (M = 8.82). Significant gender differences in fear of death and depression (P < .05) were also observed. Different treatment groups differed significantly on depression, it was more in those who were receiving both radio and chemotherapy (26.7 %) than those who were receiving only chemotherapy (20 %). The study highlights the significant level of fear of death and depression in cancer patients as a function of gender and type of treatment. Fear of death and depression was comparatively higher in female patients. Patients receiving both chemo and radiotherapy treatment were more depressed than patients receiving only chemoKeywords

The article provides the research conducted on the mothers of dyslexic children. Aim of the research is to assess the social support and well-being of mothers. Sample of 50 mothers of dyslexic children were selected for the study. (25 were working and 25 were non-working). They were administered the perceived social support scale and adult well-being scale. Mean, standard division and t value were calculated for the data. Results show that there is a lack of social support to the working mothers, which is clearly identified in the study. The scores clearly show that there is a significant difference in the social support of the working and non-working mothers having dyslexic children. Level of well-being of working mothers is lower than the level of well-being of non-working mothers. Increase in social support of working mothers will increase the well-being, for non-working it is not positively correlated.Keywords

The present retrospective study investigates the influence of positive and negative affects among heart disease patients. The sample was comprised of 120 males equally divided in three groups, i.e., MI, AP and CO. The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) developed by Watson and Clark (1988) was administered on the heart patients and control group. The data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The results indicated that mean score of control group on the measure of positive affectivity differed significantly from MI and AP groups, however the latter two groups did not yield significant mean differences on this measure. Analysis of post- hoc mean comparisons on the measure of negative affectivity showed that means of AP and MI groups are significantly higher than Control group.Keywords

Distress has been defined as an unpleasant subjective, mental state. It can be brought on by stress caused by adverse events. This occurs when there are excessive adaptive demands placed upon an individual, often having emotional and physiological manifestations. In old age, an individual faces many changes and challenges, in the form of loss of physical health and vitality, widowhood, retirement, death of peers and friends, loneliness, and dealing with ones impending mortality. All these changes take a toll on the older persons' mental health, leading to psychological distress. The changing social milieu, is also leading to decreased support for the elderly, with an increase in the nuclear family setting, and thereafter, the Empty Nest Syndrome. The coping strategies for the elderly persons, to deal with this distress are also discussed in this paper.Keywords

The present study aimed at investigating the role as well as relation of spirituality and psychological well-being of young adults. The sample comprised of 160 young adults (60 males & 60 females) studying in different central universities situated in New Delhi, India. They were administered with Spirituality scale (Delaney, 2003) and Psychological well-being scale (Ryff & Singer, 1998). To study the gender difference as well as the relation between both the groups on the measures of spirituality and psychological well-being, t-test and correlation were applied. Further stepwise multiple regression analysis was used to find out the spirituality dimension which significantly predicted psychological well-being of young adults. Results of t-test showed significant difference between the two groups. Positive correlations were found between the dimensions of spirituality with overall psychological well-being and its dimensions autonomy and self acceptance; overall spirituality and its dimensions self-discovery and eco-awareness with self-acceptance dimension of psychological well-being; self-discovery dimension of spirituality with positive relations with others' dimension of psychological well-being. Negative correlations were found between eco-awareness and relationship dimensions of spirituality with personal growth and self-acceptance dimensions of psychological well-being, respectively. Result of multiple regression analysis revealed self-discovery dimension of spirituality as the sole predictor of psychological well-being.Keywords
