Abstract: In human life, stress is frequently associated with strain, concern, anxiety, and pressure. Stress can have positive or negative impacts and is a necessary part of life, as is well acknowledged. Physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, or social impacts are all possible. A person experiencing illness experiences additional stress, so it is occasionally necessary to find a speedy solution to such a stressful scenario in order to determine whether an increasing level of stress could eventually overwhelm the person experiencing it. Comprehending the notion of stress is crucial, as it offers a means of perceiving an individual as a cohesive entity that reacts comprehensively to diverse forms of disorder seen in everyday existence. Patients with cancer and tuberculosis experienced anxiety as a result of their unlucky diagnosis, societal unrest, financial difficulties, and familial issues. Compared to others, they experience higher levels of stress, tension, annoyance, and anxiety as a result. For the patient, the only options are costly surgery or chemotherapy. This takes a lot of time and requires the patient's family to be very involved, both physically and emotionally. As a result, the cancer patient faces stress during the whole therapeutic process. Thus, the purpose of this study is to look into how cancer patients control their stress levels.
