Abstract:

AimsThe baseline of this study 1)What is the type of psychiatric disturbances in oncology settings?2)Is there any importance in cancer education?3)How to manage psychiatric disturbances?MethodsAs of lockdown concerning COVID-19, this study is conducted online among 20 cancer patients. This is a cross-sectional study where Each patient has explained the purpose of the study, procedures, and consent was taken from patients then a questionnaire was given, and this was assessed. Among the profile of the study population, 50% were males and 50% were females of the total study population, 60% were married and 40% were unmarried, Participants were aged between 22 and 63 years. The study population also consists of 20% are breast cancer, 25% lung cancer,10% lung cancer, and the rest are other types of cancers. Patient details are collected from the Facebook groups for cancer patients. Assessment has 2 parts, one is based on CES-D Test where each individual was each patient answered 20 question and next part is based on 5 questions regarding Financial Depression, Behavioral changes, Feelings, Education about cancer and Psychiatric support.ResultsIt is found that 60% population are normal, 25% had mild Depression, 10% have moderate Depression followed by 5% with severe depression.Among associations between marital status and various disorders, it was found that psychological disturbances are 2 times fold more in married people while compared to unmarried. There is also an association between treatment modalities are observed, in that anxiety is prevalent with people who had chemotherapy. Based on education and financial status, those who are with less education about cancer and less financially stable have also prominent disturbances.ConclusionThe study was based on other research study related to the spectrum of psychological disturbance based on treatment stage, financial status, awareness of cancer among patients, and role of marital status among individuals Offering mental health services to patients with cancer is becoming an integral part of oncologic treatments because psychological problems harm cancer management. The most common psychiatric disorders in cancer patients are depression, anxiety disorders, and adjustment disorders. Psychiatrists should be involved in the multidisciplinary treatment team that works with cancer patients. Further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of different psychological and psychopharmacological interventions in psycho-oncology and palliative medicine

Abstract:

AbstractThe paper makes a chronological review of the literature in the area of psychological intervention with cancer patients, focussing particularly on breast cancer as this is the disease which has attracted most attention from mental health profesionals. Initially, surveys which identify psychological distress in cancer patients are reviewed, as it is felt that these may have contributed the impetus for intervention. In the second half of the paper, interventions are classified and reviewed.

Abstract:

Even though breast cancer mortality is declining, the diagnosis still poses a huge threat for the affected woman and her close family. Breast cancer surgery, which often includes reconstructive procedures, can help restoring a satisfactory body image. The decision on the type of surgery should always be made together with the patient and should focus on her psychosocial needs. This review describes the psychological aspects of breast cancer for the patient and her social environment and offers ideas for a patient-oriented treatment plan.

Abstract:

The article represents the ethical aspects of the activity of oncology specialist, which is an important component of a comprehensive approach to the treatment and care of patients with cancer. It is noted that compliance with the ethical aspects of medical and psychological care for cancer patients requires the knowledge of oncology specialist of a wide range of physical, emotional, psychological and social effects that may arise as a result of the diagnosis and treatment of an oncopathology. The key ethical principles and their characteristics, which the oncology specialists must adhere to, are outlined. There is emphasized the importance of compliance by oncology specialists with ethical principles for the successful treatment and rehabilitation of cancer patients. Conclusions. In general, ethical aspects in psycho-oncology are an integral part of professional practice and aim to ensure maximum support, safety and respect for the rights and dignity of each patient. No code of ethics can provide an unequivocal answer to what is right in specific situations, but it serves important functions. It serves as an important basis for decision-making and provides important information to oncologists, their patients and the public about the roles and responsibilities of oncology professionals. In addition, it promotes responsible psychological practice and protection of patients from inappropriate behavior of doctors, and is used as a tool for reflection and improvement of the work of a specialist in the field of oncology.

Abstract:

Breast cancer is a global public health issue, in Brazil, affecting approximately 73,610 new cases annually. The diagnosis impacts the patient’s life and their family, triggering a range of negative emotions and social consequences. The journey begins with the detection of a lump, followed by internal conflicts such as denial and acceptance. The complexity of breast cancer is due to multiple genetic factors. Genetic mutations influence the risk and treatment, with genetic sequencing allowing for advanced diagnoses. The psychological impact is a frequent concern, emphasizing the need for effective communication between doctor and patient. The patient described here has triple-negative breast cancer and a genetic mutation in the RAD51D gene, with the psychological assessment revealing insecurity, a quest for information, and concerns about treatment. The lack of personalized psychological support is evident, underscoring the importance of medical-psychological integration for a more holistic approach. This analysis provides insights into the emotional aspects of genetic mutation diagnosis in breast cancer, emphasizing the ongoing need for collaboration between medicine and psychology to enhance support for patients facing breast cancer and its genetic implications.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTObjective:Our aim was to identify the themes that arise when applying adapted meaning-centered group psychotherapy (MCGP) in Spanish-speaking advanced cancer patients.Method:A mixed qualitative–quantitative analysis was performed on the transcripts of interviews with 22 advanced cancer patients who had been assigned to three MCGP subgroups.Results:We found six new emergent themes in addition to the originally constructed themes of MCGP. Threat and uncertainty were the two most frequent emergent issues for our Spanish patients.Significance of results:The implementation of MCGP in Spanish patients validated the themes proposed by Breitbart and colleagues' foundational work on MCGP and also suggested new issues relevant to patient well-being (classified as “emergent themes”). Taking our findings into account, we propose that these new themes be considered in the Spanish adaptation of MCGP as well as in future adaptations of this form of psychotherapy in treating Latin American patients.

Abstract:

Because of the high Incidence, and the possible resulting vocational disability it is very likely that rehabilitation counselors, particularly those employed in medical settings and the state, federal system, will work with women who have breast cancer and are eligible for services. Cancer of the breast may have significant impact on the emotional and psychological constructs of the individual, as it affects not only the patient, but her family as well and may interfere with, and disrupt the organization of the family, social, financial, education, vocational goals, and indeed the very definition of the family unit. Suggestions are made for some counseling techniques which may be used in dealing with these problems.

Abstract:

Background: Only little is known about the psychosocial aspects of breast cancer patients after mastectomy with immediate versus delayed breast reconstruction. Methods: We systematically screened PubMed using the following key words: mastectomy, immediate vs. delayed reconstruction, psychosocial aspects and quality of life. To highlight different psychological outcomes, studies were categorized into those describing: anxiety, depression, body image and satisfaction with the surgical outcome. We also compared patients after mastectomy alone with those undergoing immediate or delayed reconstruction. Results: Methodologies and psychological outcomes varied among the identified studies, making it difficult to compare results. There are contradictory outcomes concerning the psychosocial aspects of breast cancer patients after mastectomy alone compared with those who underwent an immediate or delayed reconstruction following mastectomy. Some studies show that immediate reconstruction after mastectomy had a positive impact on patients' psychological well-being. In contrast, other studies indicated that in the long-term view the compared patient groups were very similar concerning psychosocial aspects. Conclusion: Analyzing different aspects of psychosocial well-being after breast cancer surgery, there might be an advantage in choosing immediate reconstruction, if oncological safety allows it.

Abstract:

IntroductionA better understanding of the molecular, genetic and immunological characteristics of cancer and the introduction of new systemic treatment regimens in the last decades, has led to better treatment outcomes and increased survival rates for patients with previously short lived cancers. However, there is no uniform description to refer to this growing group of patients with advanced cancer who now respond to new systemic treatments for longer periods. Furthermore, little is known about the unique psychological challenges these patients face, living with ongoing uncertainty about the course of their disease and life expectancy. The objective of this scoping review is to identify the psychological aspects experienced by, and the definitions used to refer to patients with advanced cancer receiving lifelong systemic treatment.Methods and analysisThis review will be among the first to summarise literature on the psychological issues in the growing group of advanced cancer patients undergoing long-term systemic treatment. Articles will be retrieved from six databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) and reviewed for eligibility by two investigators independently. Definitions and psychological challenges will be extracted and narratively summarised following a descriptive approach. Furthermore, results will contribute in providing a uniform definition for this patient group, and help to identify knowledge gaps to give direction to further research in this field.Ethics and disseminationNo ethical approval is required. The results of the scoping review will be submitted for publication to a scientific journal and presented at relevant conferences.

Abstract:

Objective: This study compares the psychological symptoms and bereavement distress of individuals bereaved by AIDS with a group bereaved by a cancer death, and addresses the question of whether an AIDS death is associated with a higher rate of adverse psychosocial factors that may increase risk of psychological morbidity in the bereaved individuals. Method: AIDS ( n = 28) and cancer ( n = 30) bereaved individuals (all within 3 months of the bereavement) completed measures of psychological morbidity and measures addressing a range of other adverse factors, e.g., number of losses, levels of social support and stigma. Results: The cancer and AIDS bereaved were essentially similar on all psychological symptom measures. The AIDS group reported lower levels of social support in response to the bereavement than cancer bereaved individuals; a greater number of bereavements, were more likely to conceal the cause of death from significant others including their own family and perceived, in some instances, a greater level of rejection from others. The AIDS group reported higher levels of social support from friends than from family. Conclusions: At three months following bereavement, AIDS and cancer bereaved were similar in levels of distress. While this may change with the progress of grief over time, it suggests essentially similar early bereavement responses. Those bereaved by AIDS reported a range of other adverse factors such as a greater number of losses, lower social support, stigma, and less open disclosure of the cause of death.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The problems that arise in patients with cervical cancer are not only physical, but also include other aspects such as psychological, social, and spiritual.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article emphasizes the shifting paradigm of palliative care from cancer patients to vital organ failure in chronic diseases. It offers a view about a type of palliative care for patients reaching the pre-terminal phase of a chronic illness. Unlike cancer patients, time is not as sharply delineated and physical pain is not a major factor, but psychological distress is often a major component of the clinical condition. Starting from the perspective of a psychiatric consultant on medical and surgical wards, I present short clinical vignettes to introduce a discussion about psychological manifestations in patients with chronic vital organ failure. The objective is to help patients find meaning to the last stage of their life. To that effect, four key sensitive areas are presented for clinicians to assess end-of-life coping: pressure on character organization, the management of hope, mourning problems, and ill health as a screen for psychological distress.
