Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the mediation effects of coping strategies on the relationship between uncertainty and quality of life in Korean women with gynecological cancer. Mishel's Uncertainty in Illness Theory and Lazarus and Folkman's Stress and Coping Theory were used to guide the study. Three coping strategies (problem-focused, active emotional, and avoidant emotional) partially mediated the relationship between uncertainty and quality of life. This work provides evidence that reducing uncertainty has significant effects on coping strategies and positively affects the quality of life in women with gynecological cancer.
