Abstract: PURPOSE: To explore the current situation of dyadic coping in oral cancer patients and analyze the influencing factors. METHODS: Using a convenience sampling method, a total of 128 oral cancer patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Stomatology of a tertiary hospital from June 2021 to November 2022 were selected as study subjects and investigated using the binary coping scale and the general self-efficacy scale. SPSS 25.0 software package was used for data analysis. RESULTS: The total binary coping score of oral cancer patients was 129.85±11.282 and the total general self-efficacy score was 25.45±4.463, which were positively correlated(r=0.822, P<0.05). General self-efficacy and whether they had received oral cancer-related health education were the influencing factors of the binary coping level of oral cancer patients (adjusted R2=0.716, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The binary coping level of oral cancer patients is at a moderate level and needs to be further improved. Medical staff and other social support forces need to strengthen the daily publicity and education of oral cancer-related knowledge and health education; at the same time, the general self-efficacy of oral cancer patients can be improved as a starting point, so as to improve the binary coping level of patients.
