Abstract Background
Cervical cancer continues to pose a major public health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income nations where healthcare access is constrained. Patient outcomes and quality of life are significantly influenced by health-seeking behaviours and coping strategies. This study explores the health-seeking practices and spiritual coping mechanisms of individuals with cervical cancer, emphasizing their connections to demographic factors.
Objective
To assess the levels of health-seeking behaviour and religious coping among cervical cancer patients and explore their association with demographic variables.

Materials and Methods
Descriptive research design was employed with a sample size of 50 participants, selected usingpurposive sampling technique. Data collection involved a socio-demographic questionnaire, a health-seeking behaviour questionnaire, and a religious coping scale.
Results
The findings revealed that 60% of patients exhibited low health-seeking behaviour, 40% demonstrated moderate levels, and none achieved high levels. Religious coping was moderate in 66.67% of participants, while 33.33% reported low levels. A significant moderate positive correlation was observed between health-seeking behaviour and religious coping scores. Demographic factors, such as family type and socioeconomic status, influenced health-seeking behaviours, while age was associated with lower religious coping scores.
Conclusion
This study underscores the importance of addressing health-seeking behaviours and religious coping strategies in cervical cancer care. Insights can inform interventions that cater to both medical and spiritual needs, enhancing support and health outcomes for patients.
Keywords Health-seeking behaviour, spiritual coping, Cervical cancer patients.
