metastatic breast cancer , and analyze the correlation between illness uncertainty and coping style . Methods A total of 98 patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer were investigated using Chinese version of Mishel′s uncertainty in illness scale ( MUIS ) and medical coping mode questionnaire ( MCMQ ) . Results The average score of illness uncertainty in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer was (62.50 ±10.89), and the level of illness uncertainty was intermediate .The score of coping style in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer were higher than domestic norm .The scores of avoidance in coping style between two groups was significantly different (P<0.01).Partial correlation analysis indicated that the total score of illness uncertainty was negatively correlated with avoidance in coping style (P<0.05), positively correlated with resignation in coping style (P<0.01) and not correlated with confrontation in coping style (P>0.05).Conclusions Coping style of patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer is correlated with their illness uncertainty .Nurses should evaluate illness uncertainty in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer and help them to take effective coping style so as to decrease illness uncertainty and improve therapeutic adherence and confidence in these patients .
