(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-05-28) Huamán Adama, Elvira Dula; Montoro Valdivia, Marcos Antonio
Cancer, starting from a psycho-emotional approach, is a pathology with a great burden of personal and family affliction. The problem was selected because cancer is not only a chronic pathology that manages to threaten the life of the individual due to the idea of being close to death, but also decreases their ability to control their lives and having to be governed by therapies in order to survive, this makes him vulnerable to different psychological reactions such as guilt, anxiety and stress. The present academic work is developed with the purpose of evaluating the association between stress and anxiety in cancer patients in terminal stage of the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases - Lima, 2021. Using the hypothetical deductive study methodology, with a quantitative approach, observational type with crosssectional and non-experimental correlational descriptive design; likewise, a population of 100 end-stage cancer patients will be considered, from which a representative sample will not be drawn. To collect the information, the survey technique will be applied and as instruments two Likert structure questionnaires, a stress response questionnaire or inventory, made up of 33 questions grouped into three dimensions referring to cognitive, emotional and physiological reactions, with 0.910 reliability; and to measure anxiety, the structured Zung Scale will be used with 20 questions distributed in two dimensions referring to affective symptoms and somatic symptoms with a reliability of 0.770; Both instruments having prior validation. The relationship between both variables will be measured by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient for nominal scales.
