Background: In recent years, cancer incidence has got a rising trend, creating a lot of problems for patients, families, and the community. It is one of the most feared diseases in the community and its development is associated with emotional and psychological fears and problems. That's why it is critical to confront with cancer and the patients’ right confrontation with the disease can produce fewer problems. Therefore, this investigation aimed to deal with the cancer process in cancer patients. Method: Using the grounded theory, the process of dealing with the diagnosis based on the patients and close relatives’ experiences, doctors, and nurses was studied. The study was carried out in the city of Sari in Mazandaran Province in 2013-2014. Unstructured interviews, observations, and field notes were the methods of data collection. Sampling began purposefully and theoretical sampling was gradually followed based on the emergence of codes and classes to achieve the theory evolution. Accordingly, a total of 35 interviews were conducted with 16 patients, 4 family members, 3 doctors, and 3 nurses. Data analysis was performed by using Glaser’s constant comparative method and the process of confronting with cancer was designed and presented according to the findings after the identification of the main concepts. Findings: Data analysis revealed that the participants' main concern when confronting with cancer is " life threatening", while their core strategy is "finding support and hope for surviving". The consequence of this strategy was a relative survival and mobility and the findings demonstrated the participants try to be hopeful for survival and endeavor for the necessary follows-up. The process of confronting with cancer includes the following steps: “Being susceptible to having a serious illness, i.e. cancer”, “Being informed of getting cancer”, “Preparing the patients to get informed of the diagnosis”, “Perceiving a life-threatening danger”, “Finding hope and support for surviving”, and “Having a relative hope for survival / mobility”. Conclusion: The results depicted that patients’ confrontation with cancer is a process consisting of several interwoven phases with a focus on finding support and hope for surviving since promoting hope, life-giving spirit, and supporting the patient in all aspects when diagnosing cancer can provide better outcomes in them and help them to be facing fewer problems in the meantime.

A Pre designed, semi structured questionnaire was used as the tool for data collection. Approval from Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) & the concerned school authorities were obtained, followed by self-administration of questionnaire and data analysis. Results: The mean age of our study population of 440 students, was found to be 14.74 with standard deviation of 1.365. 67.3% (34.3% males & 33% females) had various Physical issues and 21.1% population suffered from psychological problems. For the various issues, 47.3% adolescents seek help from their parents, while 39.5% from doctors. 29.8% students considered inconvenient timings as the major hindrance in seeking health care followed by family’s perception and lack of privacy in the clinics. 90% of the study population was unaware of the SNEHA clinics run exclusively for adolescents in Karnataka, India.

Abstract: Background: Anti Retro-viral Therapy (ART) has increased life expectancy of HIV/AIDS patients, but the quality of life (QOL) still remains the same. Methodology: In this cross-sectional study, 356 PLHIV were interviewed to assess their QOL using WHOQOL- HIV Bref questionnaire. The association between QOL with socio-demographic, clinical and co-habitation status of the participants was tested using ANOVA and student t-test, and P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Physical domain of QOL showed maximum score of 16.4, while a minimum score of 12.2, was seen in social relationship domain. Participants with higher Socio Economic Status (SES) and self-motivated to take ART had shown better scores across all the domains of QOL (P<0.05). Conclusion: In our study, Quality Of Life was high among males, younger patients, married participants, higher socio economic status, longer duration of ART, self-motivation to take ART, absence of opportunistic infection and with higher CD4 count.
