Sažetak
Because diabetes and cancer have different prognosis and different demands of curing it, it could be expected that the patients have to use different strategies of control. The aim of this research was to find are there differences in sense of coherence, strategies of personal control and life satisfaction among cancer patients, diabetes patients and healthy persons. The research has been conducted on the samples of 30 cancer patients, 30 diabetes patients and 30 healthy persons as a control group. Results have shown that cancer patients have significantly higher sense of coherence and secondary control, in comparison to diabetes patients and healthy persons, and there were no differences among healthy persons and diabetes patients. There were no significant differences among groups in primary and tertiary control neither in the life satisfaction. Significant positive correlations have been found among primary and tertiary control and among life satisfaction, sense of coherence and secondary control.
