Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out from September to November 2019, at Maputo Central Hospital, in the units of Medicine, Surgery, Orthopedics, Gynecology and Obstetrics. Eligible patients (n\u2009=\u200994) were included in the study and answered a self-completion scale adapted from the Coping Strategies Inventory by Folkman and Lazarus together with a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results: Our study demonstrates that the most used coping strategies were Social Support, followed by Planful Problem Solving, Escape-Avoidance, and Positive Reappraisal strategies. In addition, significant differences were observed between religious beliefs, with Christians resorting more to coping strategies related to Social Support, Accepting Responsibility and Escape-Avoidance than Evangelicals, and between different levels of education, with greater resort to Social Support, Accepting Responsibility, Planful Problem Solving, and Positive Reappraisal in patients with high education. Conclusions: The results indicate that most of the respondents in this study used more adaptive coping strategies, such as Social Support and Positive Reappraisal, and less avoidant strategies, such as Distancing and Confrontation. There is a need to reinforce positive strategies from health professionals to increase satisfaction, autonomy, and promote patient\u2019s quality of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/08258597221113724","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,12]],"date-time":"2022-07-12T23:46:53Z","timestamp":1657669613000},"page":"570-578","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Coping Strategies Used by Patients After Diagnosis Disclosure in the Transition to Palliative Care: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Nat\u00e1lia Ubisse","family":"Schmauch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Pain Unit at Maputo Central Hospital, Maputo Central Hospital, Maputo, Mozambique"}]},{"given":"Francisca","family":"Rego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Lu\u00edsa","family":"Castro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Health Technology and Services Research (CINTESIS), University of Porto, Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Health Information and Decision Sciences Department - MEDCIDS, Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jahit","family":"Sacarlal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Eduardo Mondlane University, Maputo, Mozambique"}]},{"given":"Guilhermina","family":"Rego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-08258597221113724","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
