Additionally, coping strategies can affect the immune and endocrine systems, which are linked in turn to the onset of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Objectives: This pilot study aims to determine whether different coping strategies are associated with differences in psychological distress, cortisol and TNF-α in breast cancer survivors. Methods: Fifty-four breast cancer survivors completed the Stress Coping Questionnaire and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and provided a blood sample for cortisol and proinflammatory cytokine measures. Findings: Passive coping strategy were associated with higher psychological distress, cortisol and TNF-α levels. Given that the coping style is a modifiable risk factor that influences a range of biological factors and health outcomes, it must be a target variable in preventive strategies and therapeutics.Basque Government IT757-13 ProjectONS202520252019info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10810/71466reponame:Addi.
