This descriptive study aimed to explore the stress and coping of women with abnormal Pap smear before Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure. The Lazarus and Folkman stress, appraisal and coping theory was used to guide this study. Forty-four women with abnormal Pap smear before the procedure were recruited during they visited Bhumibol Adulyadej hospital. Data were collected from September to December 2019. Three instruments were used; 1) a demographic questionnaire 2) the Stress test 20 (ST-20) by Department of Mental Health and 3) Jalowiec Coping Scale (JCS). The data were analysed by using descriptive statistics.
The results found that the mean score of stress in participants was slightly higher than normal (63.64%). These women used a combination of three coping strategies including problem-focused coping, emotional-focused coping, and palliative-focused coping. The most frequently used strategies were problem-focused coping (41%); palliative-focused coping (41%); and emotional-focused coping (18%). This study provides information for gynecologic oncology nurses and health care providers to assess the stress of women and give information before Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure and help women to decrease stress and find appropriate appraisal ways of coping.
