Abstract
The current study investigates that how patients with blood cancer
regulate their cognitive emotions regulations (CER), optimism towards
life and quality of life regarding their illness. It was hypothesized that
patients with blood cancer are likely to have problems in their cognitive
emotions and that also effects their quality of life regarding the illness.
The sample consisted of 70 blood cancer patients (men=48, women=22),
with age ranges from 20-51 (M=33, SD= 13.2) using purposive
sampling technique. Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire
(CERQ), Life Orientation Test – Revised and EORTC-QLQ C-30 were
administered. Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Regression
analysis was conducted to analyze the results using SPSS version 20.
The correlation showed that Cognitive emotion regulation (CER) had a
significant positive correlation with optimism and quality of life and
optimism also had a significant positive correlation with cognitive
emotion regulation and quality of life. The results of regression analysis
indicated that CER and optimism were significant predictors of quality
of life of patients with blood cancer. It is inferred that patients of blood
cancer improve their health and quality by cognitively regulating
emotions and being optimistic.
