The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between demographic variables, personal factors, impairment-related variables, and functioning levels of cancer survivors in Turkey. Data for this study were collected from a major oncology institute and a nonprofit cancer organization in Turkey. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to investigate the sequential effect of demographic variables (i.e., age, gender, income, and education), personal factors (i.e., core self-evaluations, purpose in life, and religiosity), and impairment-related variables (i.e., pain, fatigue, perceived stress, and sleep disturbance) on the functioning level of Turkish cancer survivors (i.e., physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning). The results indicated that impairment-related variables explained a significant amount of variance in functioning scores above and beyond demographic and personal factors. Pain intensity and perceived stress were most prominent factors impacting functioning levels of Turkish cancer survivors. Pain and stress self-management training, psychotherapy and counseling, physical activity and exercise, and cognitive remediation training are recommended interventions to increase the functioning level and well-being of cancer survivors.

本研究的目的是调查土耳其癌症幸存者的人口统计变量、个人​​因素、损伤相关变量和功能水平之间的关系。本研究的数据来自土耳其的一家主要肿瘤学研究所和一家非营利性癌症组织。进行分层回归分析以研究人口统计变量（即年龄、性别、收入和教育）、个人因素（即核心自我评价、生活目的和宗教信仰）和损伤相关变量的顺序效应。即疼痛、疲劳、感知压力和睡眠障碍）对土耳其癌症幸存者功能水平（即身体功能、角色功能、情绪功能、认知功能和社会功能）的影响。结果表明，与损伤相关的变量解释了超出人口和个人因素的功能评分的显着差异。疼痛强度和感知压力是影响土耳其癌症幸存者功能水平的最突出因素。疼痛和压力自我管理训练、心理治疗和咨询、身体活动和锻炼以及认知矫正训练是推荐的干预措施，以提高癌症幸存者的功能水平和幸福感。
