Introduction: cancer; endangers various aspects of mental health and due to the disturbance in the mental image of the person of his own body, it increases the mental tension and challenges the mental health of the affected person. The present study was conducted to predict the quality of life based on personality type D and cancer stigma in patients with chronic cancer.
Methods: The statistical population of the research included men and women with chronic cancer living in Tehran in 1401. Using the available sampling method, 251 people (115 women and 136 men) were selected as samples. To collect data, the D personality scale, Denault (2005), Aranson Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (1993), and Marlow and Wardell's Cancer Stigma Scale (2014) were used. Pearson correlation and stepwise regression and SPSS25 software were used for data analysis.
Results: The results showed that stigma (β=-0.44, t=-7.78) and personality type D (β=-0.16, t=-2.65) can be the variance of changes related to people's quality of life. Predict cancer patients. Avoidance (β = 0.53, t = 10.05), opposition (β = 0.24, t = 3.90), intensity (β = 0.18, t = 3.10 ), and abnormality (β=-0.18, t=-2.65), which are the dimensions of cancer stigma, can predict the variance of changes related to the quality of life of people with cancer with a confidence of 0.99.
Conclusion: Clinical psychologists and psychiatric nurses can increase the quality of life of cancer patients by performing psycho-educational interventions by reducing D personality type and cancer stigma.
