Psychological challenges of people with cancer reduce the person's ability to deal with problems through a negative effect on psychological actions and increasing tension. In addition to physical problems, patients also face various psychological challenges, including anxiety. Almost one third of cancer patients suffer from depression, anxiety and despair. Psychological challenges reduce the cancer person's ability to adapt in general through a negative effect on psychological actions and increasing tension. The present study was conducted with the aim of The Effectiveness of Islamic Coping Styles Training based on women with breast cancer lived experiences on Anxiety and Life Expectancy.

The statistical population included all breast cancer patients in Kerman city in 1402, among which 40 people were selected and included in the study. These people were randomly divided into two experimental groups (Islamic confrontation style training) and control (20 people in each group). The criteria for entering the research included cancer diagnosis by an endocrinologist, the passing of at least one year since the diagnosis of the disease, and the ability to read and write. Exclusion criteria included suffering from other chronic and psychiatric diseases, having psychological problems and unwillingness to participate in the research. Informed and ethical consent was obtained from the participants, and they were given a commitment to keep the research information confidential. First, both groups completed Miller's life expectancy and Spielberger's anxiety questionnaires. The experimental group underwent 10 training sessions twice a week, and the control group did not receive any therapeutic intervention. After the end of the training sessions, the research questionnaires were again presented and completed as a post-test to the subjects of both groups.

Meetings are held twice a week in groups.In order to comply with ethical considerations, he told the witness group that, if the plan is proposed, the intervention for the experimental group will also be presented to them after the completion of the research. The data obtained from the research were analyzed in descriptive (mean and deviation) and inferential (variance analysis) by SPSS 22 software with a significance level of 0.05
.Results In this study, the average age and standard deviation of the experimental group was 33.84±7.26 years and the control group was 32.94±5.26 years. 14 people were between 25 and 30 years old, 15 people were between 30 and 35 years old, and 11 people were between 35 and 40 years old.: The results of covariance analysis showed that after removing the effect of the pre-test, the difference in the mean of state anxiety (P<0.03), trait anxiety (P<0.03) and life expectancy (P<0.00) between the two groups was significant in the post-test. Also, the results showed that Islamic coping style training explains 11% of changes in state anxiety and trait anxiety and 20% of changes in life expectancy, respectively. Therefore, Islamic coping style training has a significant effect on the life expectancy and anxiety of breast cancer patients.
