Widening the focus from survival time to the "quality of survival" this cross-sectional study was designed to find correlations between coping strategies, quality of life, sociodemographic and medical data. 61 patients (31 women, 30 men; mean age 41 [22-74] with Hodgkin's disease receiving no treatment since 1 month to 16 years (mean 5 years) were assessed for coping and quality of life. Two standardized questionnaires were used: "Freiburg Questionnaire of Coping with Chronic Illness" (FKV 102) and "Questions for Life Satisfaction" (FLZ). Coping strategies were evaluated. The most used strategies were compliance strategies and trust in doctors. Some coping strategies correlated significantly with age, sex, marital status, education, and medical data as B symptoms and occurrence of recidivs. The scores for life satisfaction were absolutely high in comparison with postoesophagectomy patients and healthy controls from other studies. Life satisfaction was correlated with age, B symptoms and type of therapy. These correlations and correlations between FKV and FLZ were discussed and basic problems were reflected.
