Analyzing The Stress Level Management for Cancer Patients in India

Abstract

In human life, stress is frequently associated with strain, concern, anxiety, and pressure. Stress can have positive or negative impacts and is a necessary part of life, as is well acknowledged. Physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, or social impacts are all possible.  A person experiencing illness experiences additional stress, so it is occasionally necessary to find a speedy solution to such a stressful scenario in order to determine whether an increasing level of stress could eventually overwhelm the person experiencing it. Comprehending the notion of stress is crucial, as it offers a means of perceiving an individual as a cohesive entity that reacts comprehensively to diverse forms of disorder seen in everyday existence. Patients with cancer and tuberculosis experienced anxiety as a result of their unlucky diagnosis, societal unrest, financial difficulties, and familial issues. Compared to others, they experience higher levels of stress, tension, annoyance, and anxiety as a result. For the patient, the only options are costly surgery or chemotherapy. This takes a lot of time and requires the patient's family to be very involved, both physically and emotionally. As a result, the cancer patient faces stress during the whole therapeutic process. Thus, the purpose of this study is to look into how cancer patients control their stress levels.
