Abstract

The present study has been designed to enhance hoping process to help cancer clients to appraise the illness in a non-threatening manner and feel a sense of control over their illness. It helps in managing uncertainty related to illness and to develop a “fighting spirit” in the clients preventing the development of unhealthy coping mechanisms like depression in clients [1]. With hope even though with poor prognosis, the patient and family can have improved quality of life by discussing and planning what they can get out of remaining days. Positive role of hope in human life, in health and illness is widely recognized [2].
