Abstract

The present study examined the role of peace of mind for mental health outcomes (depression and anxiety) in cancer patients. The study was based on a cross-sectional survey research design. Participants comprised of cancer patients (N = 300) admitted at government and private hospitals in Panjab. Data were collected using the purposive sampling technique. Peace of Mind Scale (Stud, 2013), Positive Mental Health Scale (Lukat et al., 2016) and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (Lovibond & Lovibond, 2000) were used for data collection. Positive mental health worked as a mediator between peace of mind, depression, and anxiety. The findings empirically established that peace of mind is an indicator of having positive mental health and the ability to lower depression and anxiety in cancerous patients. The study is an important addition to the existing body of knowledge on the role of peace of mind for mental health outcomes in cancer patients.
