Introduction: The oncologic disease exposes the patient into a dynamic and complex treatment process along different steps of the disease, requiring him/her adaptive coping answers; in other words, the patient with cancer needs to mobilize psychosocial resources to deal with the stress due to this illness. The Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a type of cancer potentially curable, and the age range of this type of disease, presents a bimodal distribution, having its first incidence peak between 15 and 35 years olds. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the coping strategies and social skills in young adults against the oncologic treatment and the correlation of these variables with anxiety and/or depression symptoms. Casuistry and Method: The sample was composed of 44 patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis between the ages of 18-35 years old. There have been used as research tools: Socio-demographic Record, Ways of Coping Scale - EMEP, Social Skills Inventory – HIS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale – HAD. Results: By a quantitative analysis of data, it has been possible to conclude that the coping strategy focused on the problem presented higher scores in this population, while the coping strategy focused on the emotion presented lower scores. The correlation of coping strategy focused on the emotion showed symptoms (p= 0,000) and depression (p=0,002). It has been verified that in this population, the social skills factors related to the self-affirmation in expression of positive affection, conversation and social resourcefulness, and self-exposure to unknown or new situations, are above the average if compared to the general population of the validation study. These factors might be associated to the oncologic treatment, environmental factors involved in this process, which favor the development of these skills. There has not been significant statistically correlation among these social skills and anxiety and depression symptoms.
