Abstract

Objective: (1) To determine stress levels and (2) to identify some factors associated with stress levels among women with cancer. Method: A cross-sectional study design was conducted on 214 women with cancer being treated at some hospitals allocated in Hanoi City, from August to October in 2023. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was used to assess women's stress levels. Results: The average stress score of women with cancer was 14.37 with standard deviation was 5.16. Education and employment factors were associated with stress levels among women with cancer, p < 0.05. Conclusion: The women with cancer in the study had higher average stress levels than the general population. Education, employment factors were correlated with the stress state in women with cancer. Supportive intervention programs aimed at reducing stress for women with cancer are absolutely needed. These programs should pay more attention to the group of women with secondary education and manual labor.
