The sample consisted of 100 patients whose average age was 48.4 years, out of which 72% were females and 28% were males. The predominant types of cancer were breast cancer (26%), cervical cancer (23%) and stomach cancer (8%). Fifty percent (50%) of the patients were diagnosed with stage 2 cancer. The research used the Purpose in Life (PIL) test, the Argentine adaptation of which was performed by Gottfried (2016). It is concluded that medium and good levels of meaning of life prevailed among research subjects, and noogenic neurosis or depression only occu­rred in 15% of such population. However, patients with osteosarcoma and lung cancer, those diagnosed with stage 3.  El objetivo del estudio fue analizar la percepción sobre el sentido de vida en pacientes, según tipo de cáncer, estadio de la enfermedad, tiempo de diagnóstico, grado de instrucción, sexo y edad. La muestra estuvo conformada por cien pacientes cuyo promedio etario fue de 48 años (3,7), de los cuales el 72 % fueron mujeres y el 28 % varones. El tipo de cáncer predominante fue mama (26 %), cuello uterino (23 %), y estómago (8 %). El cáncer en segundo grado se presentó en la mitad de los pacientes. Se utilizó el Test de Sentido de Vida o Prueba de los Propósitos Vitales (PIL), adaptación argentina realizada por Gottfried (2016). Se concluye que en los pacientes investigados predomina el logro de sentido medio y bueno, y la neurosis o depresión noógena solo se presenta en el 15 % de ellos; asimismo, en el factor Actitud ante la Muerte los pacientes con cáncer de osteosarcoma de pulmón presentan rangos promedios bajos.Universidad de Lima2019-11-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ulima.edu.pe/index.php/Persona/article/view/456610.26439/persona2019.n022(2).4566Persona; Vol. 22 No. 2 (2019); 93-109Persona; Vol. 22 Núm. 2 (2019); 93-109Persona; v. 22 n. 2 (2019); 93-1092309-90621560-613910.26439/persona2019.n022(2)reponame:Revistas - Universidad de Limainstname:Universidad de Limainstacron:ULIMAspahttps://revistas.ulima.edu.pe/index.php/Persona/article/view/4566/4571https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistas.ulima.edu.pe:article/45662025-04-04T21:49:06Z
