The aim of the present paper is to highlight the psychosocial issues related to cancer and the interventions employed to improve the quality of life of cancer patients. There is considerable evidence that the wide range of surgical, chemotherapeutic and radiation therapies can leave permanent damage to organs and physiological functioning and disfigurement, across the different cancer diagnosis (Loesher et al., 1989). Psychological interventions are shown to be beneficial in cancer patients. There is a well-established body of evidence demonstrating that psychosocial interventions, viz., pain management, social support, psychotherapy, body image counseling etc. increase wellbeing, improve adjustment and coping and reduce distress in people affected by cancer (Carlson&Bultz, 2003; Cunningham, 2000; Meyer&Mark,1995; Rehse&Pukrop, 2003). The recent reviews also conclude that psychosocial interventions reduce depression, anxiety and functional impairment (Owen et al., 2001).Keywords

The sample consisted of 200 students studying in various departments of the university. The findings of the study indicate that there exists a negative correlation between depression and intrinsic religious orientation. It was also found that students differ significantly on religious orientation (intrinsic&extrinsic) as far as their gender is concerned. Females were found to be more intrinsically oriented and males were found to be more extrinsically oriented.
