Approximately 1 in 3 Americans will eventually develop cancer, and as of January 1990 approximately 122,000 cases of AIDS had been reported to the CDC. The traumatic changes that occur in the lives of persons diagnosed with either of these illnesses call for coping strategies beyond those used in everyday life, and they have important implications for the mental health of both the patient and family members. Therefore, these individuals are at high risk for the development of psychosocial problems secondary to the illness. The purpose of the proposed longitudinal, prospective study is to test a model of adaptation to life-threatening illness that provides a framework for understanding adaptation as a process from perception of the stressor to social and behavioral outcomes. Two comparison groups will be used that, include 120 persons with cancer and 120 persons with AIDS at T1. The three data points will be 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months following a: diagnosis of cancer or the onset of CDC AIDS. Both the quantitative and qualitative data will be obtained to examine relationships among the variables included in the model. Regression will be the primary statistical approach used to evaluate relationships at each data point, as well as across time. A primary purpose of the analysis will be to identify those variables associated with positive social and behavioral adaptation.

大约三分之一的美国人最终会患上癌症，截至 1990 年 1 月，向国家报告了约 122,000 例艾滋病病例 CDC。 被诊断者生活中发生的创伤性变化 对于这些疾病中的任何一种，都需要采取超出这些的应对策略 它们在日常生活中使用，对心理有重要影响 患者及其家人的健康。因此，这些 个人出现心理社会问题的风险很高 继发于疾病。 拟议纵向的目的， 前瞻性研究的目的是测试一种适应危及生命的模型 疾病提供了一个框架来理解适应作为一种 从压力源感知到社会和行为结果的过程。 将使用两个对照组，其中包括 120 名癌症患者 T1 处有 120 名艾滋病患者。 三个数据点将为1个月， 诊断出癌症或发病后 6 个月和 12 个月 疾病预防控制中心艾滋病。 将获得定量和定性数据 检查模型中包含的变量之间的关系。 回归将是用于评估的主要统计方法 每个数据点以及跨时间的关系。 初级 分析的目的是确定那些相关的变量 具有积极的社会和行为适应能力。
