Abstract:

The study focuses on anxiety among breast cancer’s patients. It aims at investigating generally the effectiveness of different coping mechanisms and specifically religious orientation in managing anxiety among them. In many ways, psychology books focus on different coping strategies as acceptance, denial, social support, positive interpretation and so on. Moreover, the holy books focus on the importance of religiosity in buffering the feeling of anxiety among patients. Patients believe that God is the foremost and the ultimate to refer to whenever they feel pain. This can help us to find out the religious way to cope with anxiety. Eventually, religiosity, belief, prayers, and other religious orientation proved to be the best way to cope with pain and anxiety.
