요약 : As cancer survival rates continue to increase due to medical advances in treatment, the psychosocial effects of cancer on survivors and their families are becoming increasingly more important. The purpose of the present study was to explore family coping among survivors of prostate cancer and their family members in Hawaii. The study is one of only a few studies to explore coping with prostate cancer among Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, Native Hawaiian, and Caucasian families. A total of 100 individuals from 42 families participated in the study by completing a survey that collected demographic data and assessed their family coping using the Family Crisis Oriented Person Evaluation Scales (F-COPES). Results indicate differences in the predictors of coping for survivors and family members. The results of this study indicate that the experiences of survivors and their family members are different, and that factors that contribute to family coping among survivors differ from those that contribute to family coping among family members and close friends of prostate cancer survivors. In addition, the results point to the importance of recognizing the important role that support groups may have in enhancing coping among family members of survivors. Attention must be given to acknowledging the different kinds of roles that are fulfilled by family members and friends and how these roles contribute to coping in survivors as well as family members and friends. That the study employed a purposive sample prevents broad generalizability; however, the study is an important step forward in contributing to a foundation for research with multi-ethnic families facing prostate cancer. It points to some key characteristics that may be important to consider when developing psychosocial interventions for families, and also provides a window for future studies exploring similarities and differences across culture.
