The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between social capital and hope in patients with cancer.
Methods: Research method was survey, and the population was patients with cancer in Seyyed-o-Shohada Hospital in Isfahan that 118 cases were selected through multi-stage random sampling method from Chemotherapy, Men’s ward, Women’s ward, Men's surgery, and Women's surgery. Research instruments to measure social capital was Onyx and Bullen's (2000) questionnaire, and to assess hope, Snyder’s (1994) hope to future questionnaire was applied.
