Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between perception of quality of life and coping strategies in people undergoing chemotherapy. Participants were 42 patients, 22 (52.4 %) women and 20 (47.6 %) men, mean age 57 years old (M = 57.07; SD = 13,269). The instruments used were the Problem Coping Strategies Scale– [EMEP, for its Portuguese acronym] and the WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF). Results indicate that patients who are in the initial phase of treatment make greater use of strategies that modify or alter the stressor (oncologic treatment) in order to control or cope better with the situation and be more involved in religious or imaginary practices that help in the process of coping with thoughts. Data affirm the importance of the relationship between the constructs, which, when used effectively, promote significant results in the patient’s life and their adaptation to the disease and treatment.
