Â Â Â AbstractStress experienced by patients with cancer may be resulted from the inability to overcome the problems which become the burdens in their mind and eventually creating stress In the Indonesian Cancer Foundation, 399 people are recorded in 2017 to suffer from cancer which will become the leading cause of death in Indonesia. Hence, this study was purposed to identify the correlation between coping mechanism and stress level in patients with cancer in the Indonesian Cancer Foundation, East Java branch. This analytical observational study was conducted by using cross sectional design. It involved 32 patients with cancer in which 32 patients were chosen by using total sampling technique. The independent variable was coping mechanism, whereas the dependent variable was stress level. Questionnaire was used to collect the data which were analyzed using Fisherâ€™s exact test with the significance level or Î± = 0.05. The results of this study conducted to 32 respondents, most of them (78.6%) had adaptive coping mechanism, whereas most of them (40.6%) experienced severe level of stress. Moreover, the results of statistical test showed that the value of Ï = 0.000 which proved that coping mechanism was correlated with level of stress experienced by the patients in the Indonesian Cancer Foundation, East Java branch. The higher the maladaptive coping mechanism is, the higher the level of stress in patients with cancer. The health workers are suggested to be able to give them counseling. On the other hand, the patients with cancer should read, watch, and listen more to find out and avoid the causes of stress.Â Key words: coping mechanism, stress level.
