Abstract

Purpose

The coping styles of five adult men within the context of a cancer-related social support group and their preferences regarding group support were examined.

Methods

Considering the paucity of literature on male coping processes within a cancer-related social support group, qualitative methods were employed. Specifically, template analysis was used to analyze the range and quality of coping styles.

Results

In contrast to the commonly cited solitary and emotionally restricted coping qualities associated with the male gender role, an emphasis on seeking connection and emotional support in their coping efforts was discovered. Preferences of group qualities (e.g., participant characteristics and session topics) that emerged included an interest in connection, mixed sex groups, and groups composed of mixed diagnoses.

Conclusions

The findings of this study can contribute to the development of interventions aimed at increasing the effectiveness of male coping in group-focused supportive services in cancer care.
