Abstract: Objective To explore the influence of social support and coping style on body and mind symptoms of patients with laryngeal carcinoma. Methods SCL-90, SSRS and MCMQ were used for the questionnaire survey of 168 patients with laryngeal carcinoma. Results The result of SCL-90 showed that all items were higher than those of norm in China, except the interpersonal relationship sensitivity and psychotic symptoms. The result of SSRS showed that the total score of social support was higher than that of norm, while the availability of support was obviously lower than that of norm. The result of MCMQ showed that avoidance and submissiveness were used frequently in patients, and avoidance was negatively correlat-ed with the factors of psychology. Conclusions Before the nursing plan and health consultation are set for patients with laryngeal carcinoma, the patients' social support should be used sufficiently, and the effect of coping style on patients' mental health should be evaluated.
