The present study aims to investigate factors associated with coping mechanism among cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The factors studied include the age of patients, education level, marital status, occupation, stage of cancer, presence of caregiver, acceptance of the illness and social support. Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the association between variables and coping mechanisms. It was found that caregiver (p = 0,001), acceptance (p = 0,001) and social support (p = 0,001) were independently associated with coping mechanisms. It is recommended that the nurses in the chemotherapy ward to provide supports to the patients in the form of information and education to help maintaining the patient’s coping mechanisms and to improve acceptance of their illness.
