Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Factors have been identified that help ease the psychological stress associated with having cancer. A survivor who sees cancer as a challenging experience and a controllable threat will have less stress. Patients who use problem-oriented, active, and emotionally expressive coping processes also manage stress well. Survivors who have social and emotional support systems and maintain open communication with their treatment providers will also likely have less psychological distress. Being female, younger, or less educated, and having a lower income and less social and emotional support increases the risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
