Coping strategies are essential in determining how individuals manage stress, illness, and psychological challenges. This study explores knowledge and cases of coping strategies among patients in our society, emphasizing the theory of stress and coping. Drawing insights from established theories of coping strategies, the research reveals that coping strategies do not only play an important role in the psychosocial adjustment of individuals with disabilities but also influence the health related quality of life of people with disorders. With the knowledge and awareness of coping strategies, it becomes a vital factor in improving the ability to deal successfully with situations by minimizing its impact on social and psychological functioning. The study concluded that the knowledge of coping strategies has been shown in this study to grant some measure of control over the psychological state of the patients. All coping strategies do not have the same effect on psychosocial well-being of patients. One of the recommendations made was that the various coping strategies should be taught in hospital-based health education seminars for patients.
