Abstract Although some types of gynecological cancer have a poor prognosis and high recurrence rate, less is known about the fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in gynecological cancer patients than in other cancer populations. Psychosocial problems may be experienced more in gender-specific cancers. In order to prevent future health problems related to FCR, it is critical to identify the factors affecting FCR in different subgroups and to develop various interventions. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the factors affecting the FCR in women diagnosed with gynecological cancer and interventions to reduce… More >

A sample of 197 patients with diagnosed breast cancer hospitalized at the Center for Oncology and Radiology, Kragujevac, Serbia, was surveyed.

Abstract Objectif : Le décès brutal d’un jeune parent malade du cancer affecte profondément le conjoint et les enfants. La famille doit alors s’adapter à l’absence du défunt et se réorganiser pour élever au mieux les enfants. Les très jeunes enfants sont particulièrement vulnérables car ils n’ont généralement pas la possibilité d’exprimer leur souffrance. Pour leur donner la parole, nous avons conçu un dispositif innovant, La Petite Fille aux Allumettes, qui s’inscrit dans une démarche de démocratie en santé. Méthode : Nous avons évalué les effets de leur participation au groupe pour une population de huit enfants et leur… More >

Nonetheless, data on the prevalence of anxiety in Chinese patients with KC and the factors associated with this anxiety are notably lacking. Therefore, a comprehensive investigation into the anxiety of patients with KC is imperative. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the… More >

Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses significant physical and psychological challenges that necessitate an exploration of factors influencing post-traumatic growth (PTG) for patient well-being. This study aims to investigate the effects of positive psychological capital (PsyCap) and perceived stress on mediating the social support-PTG relation among 673 CRC patients. Social support, positive PsyCap, perceived stress, and PTG were assessed through questionnaires. The results indicated a direct prediction effect of social support on PTG (LICI = 0.481, ULCI = 0.644), with the direct effect being 59.5%. Both positive PsyCap and perceived stress exerted a mediating role in the… More >
