Abstract:

The results of genetic research have a remarkable role in medicine progress. At the same time the issues of prevention, individual attitudes and behaviour have acquired more importance, not only in relation to the illness but also regarding one's health. For these reasons is important to consider this field of study and intervention as an area to face, not only from the medical point of view but also from ethical and psychological ones. If we agree on the importance of a global approach to this problem, psychosocial support, which is often considered a parallel intervention, becomes a component of genetic counselling: the focal point of the intervention becomes the person, and not only the problem. The literature of the last years is rich of studies that have deepened these themes. Some studies have been analysed and reported but it is not easy to individualise a common patrimony of knowledge. Some aspects as information, communication, risk perception and psychological consequences are presented and discussed in this paper.

Full text

Abstract:

Cancer screening programs have the potential to decrease psychosocial wellbeing. This review investigates the evidence that anal cancer screening has an impact on psychosocial functioning and outlines considerations for supporting participants. The review suggested that screening has no significant effect on general mental health but may increase cancer-specific worry. Having worse anal or HIV symptoms, being younger, higher baseline distress or worse histology results were predictive of greater worry. The findings suggest the need to increase education campaigns, particularly targeting those with HIV infection and men who have sex with men. There is a need to develop a consensus on measuring the psychosocial impact of screening and stepped care approaches for responding to any resulting distress.

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:

Purpose To explore oncologists' psychosocial attitudes and beliefs and their perceptions regarding barriers against psychosocial communication. Methods A questionnaire was distributed to oncologists in Sweden (n = 537). Questions covered demography, the Physician Psychosocial Beliefs Scale (PPBS), and barriers against psychosocial communication. Stepwise multiple regression was used to determine what factors contribute the most to the PPBS score and the total number of barriers and barriers affecting clinical practice, respectively. Spearman rank-order correlation was used to determine correlation between PPBS score and number of barriers. Results Questionnaire response rate was 64%. Mean PPBS value was 85.5 (range, 49 to 123; SD, 13.0). Most oncologists (93%) perceived one or more barriers in communicating psychosocial aspects with patients. On average, five different communication barriers were perceived, of which most were perceived to affect clinical practice. These barriers included insufficient consultation time, lack of resources for taking care of problems discovered, and lack of methods to evaluate patients' psychosocial health in clinical practice. There was a positive correlation (rs = 0.490; P < .001) between the PPBS score and the number of perceived barriers (ie, less psychosocially oriented oncologists perceived more barriers). Oncologists with supplementary education with a psychosocial focus perceived fewer barriers/barriers affecting clinical practice (P < .001 and P = .001, respectively) and were more psychosocially oriented (P = .001). Conclusion Oncologists perceive many different barriers affecting psychosocial communication in clinical practice. Interventions aiming to improve psychosocial communication must therefore be multifaceted and individualized to clinics and individual oncologists. It is important to minimize barriers to facilitate optimal care and treatment of patients with cancer.

Abstract:

Globally, a growing body of evidence has reported significant disparities in cancer outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Although some effort is being made to address these disparities, relatively little attention has been directed toward identifying and focusing on the psychosocial aspects of cancer care for Indigenous patients, which are critical components in improving cancer care and outcomes. The purpose of this article is to describe the results of a scoping review of the psychosocial aspects of cancer care for Indigenous people. We highlight considerations in undertaking research in this field with Indigenous people and the implications for clinical practice.

Abstract:

Racial and ethnic disparities span the continuum of cancer care and are driven by a complex interplay among social, psychosocial, lifestyle, environmental, health system, and biological determinants of health. Research is needed to identify these determinants of cancer health disparities and to develop interventions to achieve cancer health equity. Herein, we focus on the overall burden of ancestry-related molecular alterations, the functional significance of the alterations in hallmarks of cancer, and the implications of the alterations for precision oncology and immuno-oncology. In conclusion, we reflect on the importance of estimating ancestry, improving diverse racial and ethnic participation in cancer clinical trials, and examining the intersection among determinants of cancer health disparities.

Abstract:

The present study aims to investigate, through the discourse of the child in cancer treatment, the psychosocial aspects of the child with the family and the team and how they influence the treatment. The study was carried out by means of a case study, with three pediatric children, in a Hospital in the city Goiania, aged between 6 and 8 years. In order to do so, clinical research had as its theoretical approach the Health Psychology, maintaining the biopsychosocial and interdisciplinary model. The results show that the experiences experienced by the children elucidate the psychosocial aspects as a significant factor in the quality of the treatment offered. Although other factors are involved in the success of the treatment, it can be affirmed that the presence of a harmonious family environment allows the child to develop with more security and resilience in face of the conditions presented to him. Aspectos Psicossociais: Interferências na Criança em Tratamento Oncológico O presente artigo tem como objetivo investigar, por meio do discurso da criança em tratamento oncológico, os aspectos psicossociais da criança com a família e a equipe e como estes influenciam no tratamento. O trabalho foi realizado por meio de estudo de caso, com três crianças da pediatria, num Hospital da cidade Goiânia, com idades entre 6 e 8 anos. Para tanto, a investigação clínica teve como abordagem teórica a Psicologia da Saúde, mantendo o modelo biopsicossocial e interdisciplinar. Os resultados demostram que as experiências vivenciadas pelas crianças elucidam os aspectos psicossociais como fator significativo na qualidade do tratamento oferecido. Embora outros fatores estejam envolvidos no sucesso do tratamento, pode-se afirmar que a presença de um ambiente familiar harmônico possibilita à criança desenvolver-se com mais segurança e resiliência diante das condições a ela apresentadas.

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:

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:

Purpose Addressing psychosocial needs, including key components of psychologic distress, physical symptoms, and health promotion, is vital to cancer follow-up care. Yet little is known about who provides psychosocial care. This study examined physician-reported practices regarding care of post-treatment cancer survivors. We sought to characterize physicians who reported broad involvement in (ie, across key components of care) and shared responsibility for psychosocial care. Methods A nationally representative sample of medical oncologists (n = 1,130) and primary care physicians (PCPs; n = 1,021) were surveyed regarding follow-up care of breast and colon cancer survivors. Results Approximately half of oncologists and PCPs (52%) reported broad involvement in psychosocial care. Oncologist and PCP confidence, beliefs about who is able to provide psychosocial support, and preferences for shared responsibility for care predicted broad involvement. However, oncologists' and PCPs' perceptions of who provides specific aspects of psychosocial care differed (P < .001); both groups saw themselves as the main providers. Oncologists' confidence, PCPs' beliefs about who is able to provide psychosocial support, and oncologist and PCP preference for models other than shared care were inversely associated with a shared approach to care. Conclusion Findings that some providers are not broadly involved in psychosocial care and that oncologists and PCPs differ in their beliefs regarding who provides specific aspects of care underscore the need for better care coordination, informed by the respective skills and desires of physicians, to ensure needs are met. Interventions targeting physician confidence, beliefs about who is able to provide psychosocial support, and preferred models for survivorship care may improve psychosocial care delivery.

Abstract:

Breast cancer, the most common cancer among women in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, is associated with social and psychological implications deriving from women’s socio-cultural contexts. Examining 74 articles published between 2007 and 2019, this literature/narrative review explores the psychosocial aspects of female breast cancer in the MENA region. It highlights socio-cultural barriers to seeking help and socio-political factors influencing women’s experience with the disease. In 17 of 22 Arab countries, common findings emerge which derive from shared cultural values. Findings indicate that women lack knowledge of breast cancer screening (BCS) and breast cancer self-examination (BSE) benefits/techniques due to a lack of physicians’ recommendations, fear, embarrassment, cultural beliefs, and a lack of formal and informal support systems. Women in rural areas or with low socioeconomic status further lack access to health services. Women with breast cancer, report low self-esteem due to gender dynamics and a tendency towards fatalism. Collaboration between mass media, health and education systems, and leading social-religious figures plays a major role in overcoming psychological and cultural barriers, including beliefs surrounding pain, fear, embarrassment, and modesty, particularly for women of lower socioeconomic status and women living in crises and conflict zones.

Abstract:

Aim This study aimed to longitudinally analyze Quality of Life and its association with physical and psychosocial factors of patients with colorectal cancer. Method Fifty-one outpatients undergoing treatment for colorectal cancer were elected for convenience and were evaluated twice during their treatment. Evaluations were performed for Quality of Life, as well as socio-demographic, diagnostic and therapeutic variables. Afterwards, descriptive and inferential statistical analysis were performed, establishing the appropriate comparisons. Results The results identified a characteristic profile with a relatively homogeneous distribution: 51% were men with an average age of 60.1 years old (SD = 9.3 years) at the baseline. In general, concerning psychosocial aspects, there was a higher Quality of Life than other studies with the same population, in addition to a significant improvement over time in all subscales of performance and symptoms. Furthermore, it was evidenced that the physical aspects considerably influenced the self-report of the Quality of Life. Conclusion The recognition of the interferences that physical aspects pose to Quality of Life, should permeate the practices of teams involved in the care of these patients.

Abstract:

Objective To examine the relationship between self-esteem and the psychosocial response to cancer. Methods The authors review methodological issues associated with measuring self-esteem inpatients with cancer and examine existing empirical studies in light of these issues. Results Self-esteem in cancer has been variously viewed as an outcome variable, a mediator of other psychosocial outcomes, and as a personal resource that facilitates coping. Unidimensional measures of global self-esteem have been most often employed in research studies, despite increasing recognition that self-esteeem is multidimensional. Evaluation of global self-esteem has generally revealed no differences between cancer patients and controls. Aspects of multidimensional self-esteem, particularly body self-esteem, appears to be disturbed in many patients with cancer. Conclusions The clinical and theoretical literature have emphasized the importance of self-esteem to the psychosocial response to cancer. Empirical study of self-esteem in cancer has been limited by conceptual and methodological issues. Strategies for future research are discussed.

Abstract:

187 Background: Distress is a multifactorial, emotional experience that may interfere with patients’ ability to cope with cancer and its treatment. Recognizing and managing distress may benefit patients. The Commission on Cancer requires implementation of Standard 3.2, Psychosocial Distress Screening in 2015 and integrating distress intervention in cancer care. This study evaluates patients’ perception on benefits in this regard. Methods: Patients were screened at least once at a pivotal medical visit using a questionnaire that included various aspects of stress. NCCN’s Psychosocial Distress Screening Tool was used to measure seriousness of distress. Patients marked their distress level on a scale of 1 to 10. A threshold of 5 was set as a trigger point to start addressing distress. Results: Answers from 311 cancer patients (male 61%; female 39%) were evaluated since January 2015. A majority of patients had breast cancer (29%), followed by lung (18%), GI (18%), and hematological (12%) malignancies. The mean distress score was 3.72 (male 3.14; female 3.97). 131 patients had a score above five. Age group, 40-49 years had a higher distress (4.79) compared to others. Esophageal cancer (1%) had the highest mean score 7.33 followed by head & neck cancer (4%) with 5.67. In most patients, anxiety about cancer and its treatment was the cause of distress. However, they did not want any additional psychosocial intervention except for talking to their oncologist and primary physician. The distress of some patients was family related and they were unsure of the help needed. Two patients refused screening stating the questions were intrusive. Conclusions: Coordinated psychosocial care may benefit cancer patients with significant distress. NCCN tool helps to assess the severity of patients’ distress and to determine the need for intervention. The results (mean score of 3.72) suggest most cancer patients need no major intervention or special psychosocial counseling other than discussing with their physician and family, which is done routinely in most oncology practices. However, when stress is expressed, this tool does help the treating physicians to determine the specific area and degree of stress, to focus on the type of help needed for the patient, and to channel resources appropriately.
