Methods A descriptive qualitative research method was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with 18 patients with advanced cancer who were hospitalized in the cancer center of a tertiary A hospital in Guangzhou from March to May 2023 by purposive sampling. The content analysis method was used to summarize and extract the interview results. Results A total of 3 themes were summarized,including comprehending the disease experience(reflecting on health behaviors,facing up to the fact of illness,accepting the law of life),managing disease threats(responding to multiple challenges,mobilizing coping resources),realizing the meaning of disease coping(acknowledging the meaning of disease coping,perceiving the benefits of disease,and making a life plan). Conclusion Effective coping resources can help patients with advanced cancer cope with multiple challenges in the disease process. Medical staff should strengthen cancer knowledge education,help patients with advanced cancer to explore positive coping resources,and reinforce the meaning of disease coping,thereby enhancing patients’ disease coping ability and promoting their physical and mental health.
