Abstract

The present study was done to examine the relationship between perception of meaning in life and psychological well being among females diagnosed with breast cancer. 100 female breast cancer patients (married = 50; unmarried =50) in a hospital set-up, were administered standardized measures of meaning in life and well-being. Independent sample t tests were conducted to test mean differences in meaning and well-being between married and unmarried patients. Results revealed that unmarried women participants scored significantly higher on both the measures than the patients who were married. On the whole, life meaning was found to be significantly and positively correlated with meaning in life for the total sample.
