Abstract: Objective To determine the associations between stress coping strategies and perceived social support in young patients with gynecologic cancers. Methods The study was conducted in young patients with gynecologic cancers who were admitted to the West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University from January 2014 to January 2015. Data were collected using three questionnaires, tapping into clinical features, multidimensional scales of perceived social support (MSPSS), and coping strategies with stress 〔including effective coping ways (ECW) and ineffective coping ways (ICW)〕. Results A total of 236 patients completed the questionnaires. Those with a job, fare incomes, or higher levels of education were more likely to get higher total MSPSS scores and lower ICW scores compared with those unemployed, less than expenditures or primary school level (Pr=0.247, Pr=0.324, Pr=0.172, Pr=0.183, P<0.05). Conclusion Social support from family members is the main source of young women with gynecologic cancers in coping with stress.
