Cancer is a challenging disease, but with the right coping strategies, patients can improve their quality of life and cope with the challenges of the disease. Each person is a unique entity; therefore, each one copes differently with the events that occur in his or her life. In this research the objective is "to determine how the coping strategy to cancer is related to the quality of life in cancer patients". The methodology is based on the hypothetical-deductive method, applied with quantitative approach and non-experimental correlational cross-sectional design; there will be a finite population whose sample by convenience is constituted by 120 new patients with oncological diagnosis during the fourth quarter of the year 2023; to whom the survey will be applied, with the questionnaires of the Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale (MAC) (31 items) of Watson et al, 1988), modified by (Trigoso, 2009) (31), to measure the coping strategies and the Functional Assessment for Cancer Treatment scale (FACT-G-4) (31), to measure the coping strategies and the Functional Assessment for Cancer Treatment scale: General (FACT-G-4) (27 items), Cella et al, 1993, developed to measure quality of life in oncology patients. The ethical principles of research and the Helsinki declaration are respected.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-02-29) Vilchez Vite, Juliana Lizbeth; Mamani Rosales, Lucia Valeria; Bonilla Asalde, César Antonio
Objective: To systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of parenteral nutrition in improving body mass index in hospitalized adult patients with digestive tract neoplasms. Material and Methods: Systematic reviews are an observational and retrospective research design that synthesizes the results of multiple secondary studies. The population includes 10 scientific articles considered as the bibliographic observation units, published and indexed in scientific databases. Data collection was carried out through a thorough, rigorous, and systematic review using websites such as Scielo, NCBI, Dialnet, among others. Results: Articles: Netherlands 10% (1/10), Taiwan 10% (1/10), France 10% (1/10), Mexico 10% (1/10), China 30% (3/10), Germany 20% (2/10), and Cuba 10% (1/10). Furthermore, the reviewed scientific studies included a prospective design in 50% (5/10), clinical trials in 30% (3/10), cross-sectional studies in 10% (2/10), and systematic reviews in 10% (1/10). Conclusion: According to the results obtained from the systematic review, it is shown that, of the total 10 articles reviewed, 100% (n=10/10) indicate that parenteral nutrition in hospitalized adult patients with digestive tract neoplasms is effective in improving body mass index. This is because BMI parameters in cancer patients promote nutritional support control. However, most of these patients experience malnutrition, which is more prevalent than obesity.
