    Abstract [en]

    All of us most likely have a relative or a close friend who has died from cancer. It is estimated that one third of the population will get diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. A cancer diagnosis means a sudden changed life situation and a need to adjust and cope with the news of an incurable disease. It is hard to adapt to a new life situation, which involves a number of coping strategies. The purpose of this study was to illustrate which coping strategies people with incurable cancer use in their daily lives. This is important so that nurses can deal with patients and their families in the best possible way. The method used was the Goodman systematic methodology to find and judge relevant literature. The results showed that many people used several coping strategies, both problem- and emotion focused for example search for support or information. These strategies were important when living with incurable cancer. In conclusion, it is important as a nurse to pay attention to the coping strategy that the individual is using. The nurse can then, in accordance with the competencies for registered nurses, meet the needs of the individuals and their families in the most appropriate and comforting ways.
