Measurement of Coping Modes
The Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) was developed by Feifel
and was applicable to patients with various
diseases21. There were three dimensions: facing (8
items), avoiding (7 items) and yielding (5 items). There are 20 items in
total, and the 4-level scoring method was used. The total score range
was 20-80. The higher the score, the more inclined the individual was to
adopt this coping style.
