Abstract:
Aim. The study investigated the differences between patients with and without a family history of cancer regarding coping strategies, illness perception, and family adaptability to the disease. Material and Methods. A total of 124 patients diagnosed with cancer were included in the research (55 of them with a family history of cancer). The Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the Strategic Approach to Coping Scale, the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale, and the Illness Perception Questionnaire were applied. The data were processed using the SPSS 21 software. Results. Patients with previous records of cancer in the family get significantly higher scores for the illness coherence factor. Family satisfaction is significantly higher for patients with a genetic risk, compared to the one reported by patients who suffer from the disease but have no genetic risk. Cognitive-behavioral coping strategies and family cohesion are factors that correlate with an adaptive perception of the illness in the case of patients with a family history of cancer. Conclusion. Results are important for the construction of strategies used for patients with a family history of cancer.

Abstract:
Disease-related pain and the consequences of pain in children and families are important areas for further research inquiry. There are limited data on the relationship between children’s emotional well-being, their experience of pain, and the strategies they employ to cope with pain within the context of serious medical illnesses. Understanding what strategies chronically ill children use to cope with pain and stress is essential for clinical intervention. This observational study examined the ways that children and adolescents with chronic diseases cope with pain and adapt to illness. The data were collected by self-report measures and projective drawing techniques in a novel way to assess the emotional functioning in a mixed cohort of youth with disease-related pain (oncological, rheumatic, and cystic fibrosis). This protocol was administered to 47 children, aged 7–14, recruited from pediatric wards of hospitals of Trento and Rovereto (Italy). The results showed that coping strategies in youth with disease-related pain differed across diagnoses and with self-representations (as part of the self-concept adaptive mode). We also provide evidence of the applicability of using projective drawing methods in assessing coping in youth with chronic illness and associated pain.

Abstract:
Background: Quality of life is a core concern for cancer patients, which can be negatively affected by illness-related death anxiety; yet understanding of how to appropriately target psycho-oncological interventions remains lacking. We aimed to explore experiential acceptance in cancer patients, and whether acceptance – as an alternative to avoidant coping – was related to and predictive of better quality of life and death anxiety outcomes. Methods: We used a longitudinal, quantitative design with a follow-up after three months. Seventy-two participants completed a questionnaire-battery measuring illness appraisals, acceptance and non-acceptance coping-styles, quality of life, and death anxiety; 31 participants repeated the battery after three months. Results: Acceptance was an independent explanatory and predictive variable for quality of life and death anxiety, in the direction of psychological health. Acceptance had greater explanatory power for outcomes than either cancer appraisals or avoidant response styles. Avoidant response styles were associated with greater death anxiety and poorer quality of life. Conclusions: The findings support the role of an accepting response-style in favourable psychological outcomes, identifying a possible target for future psychological intervention. Response styles that might be encouraged in other therapies, such as active coping, planning, and positive reframing, were not associated with beneficial outcomes.

Abstract Objective: to learn the perceptions of elderly persons in palliative care regarding coping with aging and illness. Method: an exploratory, descriptive, qualitative study was carried out. The study included 11 elderly persons in palliative care because of oncologic disease. Semi-structured interviews were carried out which were analyzed with the aid of the ALCESTE software. Results: two axes were identified from the content analysis. The first, Resist to Survive and Live, has two categories: the first, aging with integrity, portrays the positive perception of the participants regarding the aging process, and coping strategies used to deal with aging and with illness; the other category, resilient development, refers to the life trajectories of the participants and the adversities of the process of development and aging. The second axis, Resist to Die Well, has only one category and refers to the perceptions of the elderly about the stress related to illness. Conclusion: the results show that the perceptions of aging and falling ill involved resilience, as the participants focused on what they had gained rather than their losses. In this context, they used resilient coping strategies: spiritual support, cognitive restructuring, and acceptance.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTObjective:This study aimed to contribute to the validation of the Portuguese version of the Prolonged Grief Disorder Questionnaire–Predeath (PG–12), examining its psychometric properties, including factorial, discriminant, and predictive validity. The prevalence of predeath prolonged grief disorder (PGD) and its psychosocial correlates were also analyzed.Method:The PG–12 was assessed in a sample of family caregivers (FCs) of oncological patients in palliative care. The factorial and discriminant validity of the PG–12 were evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis. The prevalence of predeath PGD was calculated and correlated with sociodemographic characteristics, perception of illness, intensity of care, coping, and caregiver burden. Prospective data were used to assess predictive validity.Results:The sample was composed of 94 FCs, mostly female (78.8%) and daughters (61.3%), with a mean age of 52.02 (SD = 12.87). The PG–12 has been shown to be reliable, to have high internal consistency, to be monofactorial in structure, and to be independent from depression, anxiety, and burden, although predeath grief influences these symptoms. In our sample, 33% met the criteria for predeath PGD. The circumstances and coping mechanisms are also correlated with predeath grief. The PG–12 has also been shown to be predictive of postdeath outcome.Significance of results:The PG–12 can be a useful screening tool for early identification of risk for maladjustment to loss among family caregivers.

Abstract:
e19542 Background: To describe perceptions of children and adolescents on advanced or terminal oncological disease of their parents, and some factors affecting these perceptions. Methods: Sample of 30 children and adolescents, aged between 5 to 18 years old, whose parents were in treatment or follow-up for advanced oncological disease. We used a semi-structured interview, reflecting the perceptions of ill parents, healthy parents and children. Also, parents were asked for the information they thought their children had about the disease. All participants older than 12 years old, gave Informed Consent to participate in the study. Results: Children and adolescents, described the disease of their parents mixing objetivable data (88.9%) and subjective perceptions (66.7%) with the expression of wishes (44.4%). Up to 76.7 % of ill parents and 82.6% of healthy parents, tended to minimize the capacity of understanding of the disease by their children. The perception that the patient and the healthy parent had of the information of the children correlates positively and significantly (r=0.59; p<0.01) and (r=0.53, p<0.01) respectively with the minimization or maximization of the capabilities of coping that the parents had of their children. There was a significant correlation (r=0.50, p<0.05), between the perceptions from the patient and his partner regarding the information and knowledge that their children have from the disease. Mothers, were the ones usually to decide the type, quality and quantity of information to provide to their children. Conclusions: Most parents and patients tend to underestimate the capacity of understanding of the children and teenagers, being mothers the ones to decide, in most cases, the amount and quality/quantity of the information given to their children about the illness. It would be necessary to attend from the beginning of the disease, the needs of parents with minor children, as well as the needs of their children, in order to help the adaptation to the serious illness from one of their parents, and detect and treat if necessary, cases of psychological vulnerability that can develop psychopathology symptoms.

Abstract:
9101 Background: Early outpatient palliative care (PC) is an emerging practice and its key components have not been defined. We conducted a qualitative analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial which demonstrated improved quality of life, mood and survival in outpatients who received early PC integrated with standard oncologic care versus standard oncologic care alone. Our objectives were to 1) identify the content and key components of early PC clinic visits, 2) explore timing of key components, and 3) compare the content of PC and oncology visit notes at the critical time points of clinical deterioration and radiographic disease progression. Methods: We chose a random selection of 20 patients with newly diagnosed metastatic NSCLC who received early PC who survived within 4 time frames: less than 3 months (n=5), 3 to 6 months (n=5), 6 to 12 months (n=5) and 12 to 24 months (n=5). We performed content analysis on PC and oncology electronic health record notes of these patients using NVivo 9 software. Results: Addressing symptoms and coping ability were the most prevalent components of the PC clinic visits. The content of initial visits focused on building relationships and rapport with patients and their families and illness understanding. Discussions about prognostic awareness occurred during earlier visits while goals of care and hospice discussions occurred in later visits. The frequency of addressing these components was similar regardless of patients’ length of life. Comparing PC and oncology visits around critical time points, both included discussions about current illness status and goals of care; however PC visits emphasized symptoms, coping, and implications of anti-cancer treatments, while oncology visits focused on medical discussions about treatment plans. Conclusions: Early PC clinic visits emphasize managing symptoms, strengthening coping, and cultivating illness understanding and prognostic awareness in a structured, responsive and time-sensitive model. Around critical clinical time points PC and oncology visits have distinct features that suggest a key role for PC involvement while enabling oncologists to focus on anti-cancer management.

Abstract:
The article describes the main psychotherapeutic targets and individual psychological characteristicsof cancer patients with comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), using the example of breast cancer, prostate cancer, and rectal cancer patients in remission following surgery (mastectomy, prostatectomy, and colostomy). The study was carried out at N. N. Petrov Research Institute of Oncology. The experimental group consisted of 40 patients with breast cancer, 32 patients with prostate cancer, and 19 patients with rectal cancer, in accordance with the selection criteria and based on a specialized questionnaire designed to detect symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (Trauma Screening Questionnaire). A control group, for comparison, was comprised of 51 women with breast cancer, 53 patients with prostate cancer, and 22 patients with rectal cancer who showed signs of constructively coping with cancer. The assessment of individual psychological characteristics of patients in these nosological groups was carried out using a battery of experimental psychological techniques. In order to enhance the adaptive capacity of the personality in patients with oncological diseases, to prevent the likelihood of developing PTSD, and develop the effectiveness of treatment, the following general psychotherapeutic targets were identified: intrapsychic maladaptive type of response to the disease, excessive fixation on the disease and care during illness; low risk tolerance manifested by patients’ reluctance to act in the absence of reliable guarantees of success; destructive and deficient personality functions; shortage of positive cognitive representations of the world and themselves; destructive guilt associated with the illness and family relationships; excessive desire for autonomy and independence that reduces the possibility of receiving social support.

Abstract:
Background. In Romania there is a discrepancy between breast cancer incidence (the 22 place in Europe) and mortality rate (the 8th place in Europe), probably determined by late diagnosis. The study aims to find associations between the delayed diagnosis in breast cancer and a series of socio-psychological and medical characteristics of the patients. Methods. 101 breast cancer patients were administered a battery of tests for depression, anxiety, stress, coping mechanism, social support, social status, medical and family history and the time between first symptoms and diagnosis. Inclusion criteria were age over 18 years old, pathologic confirmation of breast cancer, at least one type of oncologic treatment (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and/or targeted therapy). Exclusion criteria were altered general status, untreated brain metastases, spatial temporal disorientation, decompensated psychiatric comorbidity, severe pain. Results. Delayed presentation was positively correlated with both the age of the patients (p = 0.031) and age at diagnosis (p = 0.017), medical history (p = 0.048), low use of refocusing on planning coping style (p = 0.042). Conclusions. Coping styles, medical history of chronic illness influence delayed diagnosis of breast cancer, which is potentially contributing to a bad prognosis. Further longitudinal studies and screening procedures could contribute to a better understanding of the individual contribution of these factors to delayed diagnosis.

Abstract:
e21551 Background: Caregiver and patient are a dyad in which the hardship of one inevitably results in a worsening of the other’s condition. Supporting caregivers so they can deal with their relatives’ cancerous condition is useful to improve both patient care and collaboration with medical teams (Zavagli et al., 2012). Burden of caregivers has psychological and physical negative impact on patients (Gritti et al., 2011). This research matches the effects of the oncological disease on the patients and the caregivers, to find similarities and differences in order to better understand their specific needs and optimizing the support provided to them in hospital setting. Methods: Two different sets of tests are composed of a particular registry paper, SF-36, MAC, BDI-II, STAI-Y, addressed to patients, and SF-36, ZBI, COPE, addressed to caregivers. The samples are made up of 250 patients (M = 107; W = 143) and 143 caregivers (M = 54; W = 89). 34% of the sample had changes in job life due the illness process (C1), while 69% of caregivers had changes in their social, working or familiar life due taking care patients (CC1). 40% of patients in sample of caregivers had received the diagnosis since less than 3 months (CD3), 23% from 3 to 6 months (CD3-6), 14% from 6 to 12 months (CD6-12) and 22% over 12 months (CD12). Results:C1 reported worse levels of “Mental Health Index” (t = 2,016; p = ,045), depression (t = -3,949; p = ,000) and anxiety (t = -3,363; p = ,001) than patients had not changes in job. CC1 had worse levels of “Mental Health Index” (t = 4,276; p = ,045) and burden (t = -6,402; p = ,000) than caregivers without changes in life. Patients who received the diagnosis since less than 3 months reported less “Fighting Spirit” coping style (F(210;8) = 2,76; p = ,006) and worse levels of “Role Limitations due to Emotional Problems” (F(211;8) = 2,346; p = ,020) than in other periods. CD12 reported worse levels of burden than CD3, CD3-6 and CD6-12 (F(136;3) = 3,67; p = ,014). Conclusions:The results suggest that patients and caregivers share a similar suffering related to life changes, but underscore a difference in the adaptation to the disease condition with increasing time from diagnosis.

Abstract:
The associations between coping styles, measured by COPE Test, dispositional version (Carver,Scheier and Weintraub, 1989), and Health Status inferred through a performance status, measured by Karnofsky's Index of Behavioral Performance are examined. The study focuses upon 28 oncological in patients. Positive moderate Pearson's correlations were found between these two variables in this correlational-descriptive study. These were interpreted in the following sense: the larger use of the style, the less health status among the scales suppression of competent activities, procrastination of coping, instrumental social support, focusing and releasing of emotions and behavioral disengagement. The active coping scale presented a negative correlationwith regard to Performance Status as a health measure.

La investigación alcanza el nivel descriptivo-correlacional, y se encontraron asociaciones entre ambas variables expresadas en correlaciones Pearson positivas y moderadas interpretadas en el siguiente sentido: a mayor empleo del estilo, menor estatus de salud entre las escalas supresión de actividades competentes, postergación del afrontamiento, apoyo social instrumental, enfocar y liberar emociones y desentendimiento conductual. La escala afrontamiento activo, presentó una correlación negativa respecto al Estatus Performance como medida de salud.

Abstract:
While coping varies with individuals and is a product of complex, interrelated factors, the primary interest of this study was determining how coping behaviors manifest according to these chronic illness types: those of known pathology (e.g., asthma, osteoarthritis, lupus) and those that lack a clear, structural pathology (i.e., functional somatic syndromes and medically unexplained symptoms). Data for this study were gathered from a series of four comprehensive online surveys, which included measures of coping (Brief COPE), pain and health outcomes (SF-36), negative affect (I-PANAS-SF) and depression (PHQ- 8). The analyzed sample was comprised of 148 participants (119 Female, 28 Male and 1 Not Answered) with a mean age of 43.34 (SD = 13.69), all of whom experienced at least three months of chronic physical symptoms. Based on diagnosis, the participants were grouped into that of conventional disease (CD), functional somatic syndromes (FSS) or medically unexplained symptoms (MUS). Even while controlling for significant covariates (e.g., depression, negative affect, pain perception), multivariate analyses revealed no significant differences in coping strategies by illness group, Wilks’s Lambda = .96, F(4, 222) = 1.05, p = .38. The results suggest that the use of coping strategies does not differ by illness type, but can be predicted by other, health-related factors, notably stress, β = -.21, t(120) = -2.09, p = .04; symptoms, β = .32, t(120) = 2.82, p = .01; personal control, β = .19, t(120) = 2.16, p = .03, and negative affect, β = .34, t(121) = 2.81, p = .01. It appears that patient experience with chronic illness can be more informative regarding appropriate treatments and therapeutic interventions than just illness type itself.

Abstract:
A solid empirical base is needed to expand our understanding of coping in children who are seriously ill. The six studies reported were designed to describe the ways seriously ill children cope with their illness and treatment, and to explore factors (both individual and familial) which influence their coping. The choice of instniments and design were influenced by the Lazanis and Folkman transactional model of stress and coping (1984), especially their concept of coping. In the first study the Kidcope Checklist (Spirito et at, 1988) was adapted to a younger British sample by adjusting the language and by producing a colour coded response sheet. Validity and test-retest reliability were established. In the five hospital based studies 53 children (7-16 years) and their parents took part. All the children had leukaemia or aplastic anaemia. Children's coping was examined in detail by applying a variety of research methods, which included observation during a medical procedure (Observation Scale of Behavioural Distress and coping behaviour), a questionnaire about children's perception of competence and selfworth (Self Perception Profile for Children) and a semi-structured interview about their coping strategies (Kidcope). Parental coping and the social environment of the family were studied through Coping Health Inventory for Parents and the Family Environment Scale. Results show that the children's coping was significantly related to the context of the problem (everyday-life difficulty, illness related and medical treatment) but much less to the individual differences (sex, age, experience with the illness and self esteem). Children who rated themselves at interview as more distressed during the blood test were observed to show more distress behaviour; this validated the distress assessment of Kideope. Children who were observed taking an active interest in the blood test displayed less distress behaviour and had higher self esteem than children who showed no interest in the procedure. Results from parents and the family are discussed with reference to the children's self reported and observed coping. Some relationships were found between parents' coping with their child's illness, the social climate of the family and the children's way of coping. The findings contribute to our understanding of children's coping processes and help to bridge the gap between theory and research.

Abstract:
This study uses a cross sectional survey design to explore the illness representations, coping strategies and levels of psychological morbidity of patients planning IVF treatments. The aim was to develop a theoretical understanding, within the framework of the self-regulation model, of the factors which predict anxiety and depression in this group. Fifty patients completed a demographic questionnaire, the Illness Perception Questionnaire, the COPE and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Chance, stress and age were the most commonly endorsed causal factors. Those without a diagnosis were more likely than those with one to think that chance had caused their infertility, but there was no difference between groups in belief in psychological causes. The coping style of this group of patients was characterised by planning and active coping within the ethos of acceptance. Overall, they used adaptive strategies significantly more than maladaptive, and this pattern did not differ between men and women. As a group, these patients' anxiety and depression scores did not fall into the clinically significant range and there were no significant differences in distress scores between groups. The relationships between illness perceptions, coping and distress were examined. Stepwise multiple regressions revealed that both illness perceptions and coping strategies predicted anxiety and depression. An adapted version of the self regulation model shows that belief in psychological cause for infertility, lack of coherence, and high levels of emotionalism and emotional lability were associated with use of maladaptive coping strategies; and increased anxiety and depression. Theoretical and clinical implications of the research are presented, along with a critique of the research; and ideas for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
"Patients suffering from oncological diseases are the focus of attention of both physicians and psychologists. Although tumor lesions of bones and soft tissues are a relatively rare condition, its effect on the person’ mind and lifestyle are significant, and its treatment is a challenge, also in terms of patient’s adaptation to the disease and therapy. There are various strategies for treating this pathology; all of them are associated with high-tech medicine focused on maintaining or improving patients’ quality of life (QoL). The aim of the present research is to study the psychological characteristics and QoL of patients undergoing surgical treatment of tumor lesions of bones and soft tissues of lower limbs. Material and methods. 36 patients were examined (mean age 58,22; 19 – men). The SF-36 questionnaire, Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), and Big Five Personality Test (BFI) were used. Treatment by means of the isolated limb perfusion technique was prescribed to 15 patients (group 1); 21 patients were subjected to lower limb amputation due to their disease (group 2). Results. It was found that patients who underwent amputation are characterized by lower rates on the coping scale ‘accepting responsibility’ than patients from the perfusion group (p < 0.05); at the same time, patients from the second group had higher values on the ‘openness’ scale of the BFI compared to the first group (p < 0.1). The study of the relationship between patients’ QoL parameters, personality and coping showed that in the first group the values on the coping scale ‘seeking social support’ negatively correlate with ‘bodily pain’ (p < 0.01), and ‘escape–avoidance’ negatively correlates with ‘social functioning’ (p < 0.01). In the second group, the following significant correlations between personality traits and QoL were revealed: ‘extraversion’ is positively associated with ‘physical functioning’, ‘role-emotional’ and ‘mental health’ (p < 0.01), ‘agreeableness’ has a negative correlation with ‘bodily pain’ and ‘general health’ (p < 0.01), ‘neuroticism’ is negatively related with ‘bodily pain’ and ‘general health’ (p < 0.01), ‘openness’ is positively associated with ‘bodily pain’ and ‘general health’ (p < 0.01). Conclusion. The data obtained emphasizes the importance of taking into account personality characteristics in the management of patients with cancer, including tumor lesions of the bones and soft tissues, as well as the dynamic nature of QoL and its close interconnection with the stage and strategy of treatment and patients’ personality. Psychological support for patients is required for their successful adaptation to the illness and therapy. Acknowledgement.

Abstract:
"Background: Research has highlighted both fatigue and anxiety to be two of the most debilitating symptoms of breast cancer that prevail for years into its survivorship, and suggests that these symptoms influence how people interpret information. Harbouring negative interpretation biases also helps to maintain self-destructive beliefs resulting in increased severity of symptoms and disability in those already affected by the illness. This study is the first utilizing an experimental measure of assessing interpretation bias in a population of breast cancer to investigate the contribution of fatigue and anxiety. Method: A cross-sectional study design was used. 53 breast cancer survivors and 62 female healthy controls were recruited via opportunistic sampling. Participants completed an online questionnaire assessing basic demographics, fatigue via the Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire (CFQ) and anxiety using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Following this, an in-person testing session assessed interpretation bias (IB) using a computerised task. Results: Independent sample t-tests found a non-significant result in the comparison of IB indices between populations (t(112.60) =.28, p=.783; d=.05). Significant differences were observed in mean fatigue and anxiety scores in the breast cancer population compared to the healthy controls. Pearson correlation identified a statistically significant positive correlation between CFQ scores and negative interpretation bias (r=.34, n=53, p=.013), however not for anxiety. Hierarchical multiple regression was calculated to predict negative interpretation biases based on potential confounding variables (age, relationship status and level of education), CFQ, HADS anxiety scores (separately). All four regression models were non-significant. The only significant predictor of negative interpretation bias was fatigue (ß =.39, t(53)=2.71, p=.009). Conclusion: The identified significant correlation between fatigue and negative interpretation bias in this study corroborates findings from existing literature. However other results proved inconsistent with the vast body of research suggesting that breast cancer survivors would make more negative interpretations of ambiguous stimuli on an IB task compared to healthy controls. These results highlight the potential for future research investigating strategies of inherent self-adaptive and coping mechanisms that are or could be adopted by these participants to overcome this cognitive bias."

Abstract:
Abstract: Multiple studies have found that psychiatric disorders, like mood disorders and substance use disorders, are highly comorbid among adults with either disorder. Integrated treatment refers to the treatment of two or more conditions and the use of multiple therapies such as the combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Integrated therapy for comorbidity per numerous studies has consistently been superior to the treatment of individual disorders separately. The purpose of this QI project was to identify the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) instead of current treatment as usual for treating Substance Use Disorder (SUD) or mental health diagnosis independently. It is a retrospective chart review. The review examines CBT's efficacy for engaging individuals with co-occurring mood and substance u se disorders in treatment by enhancing adherence and preventing disengagement and relapse. Methods: Forty adults aged 26-55 with a DSM-IV diagnosis of a mood disorder of Major Depressive Disorder and/or anxiety and concurrent substance use disorder (at least weekly use in the past month). Participants received 12 sessions of individual integrated CBT treatment delivered with case management over a 12-week period. Results: The intervention was associated with significant improvements in mood disorder, substance use, and coping skills at 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-treatment. Conclusions: These results provide some evidence for the effectiveness of the integrated CBT intervention in individuals with co-occurring disorders. Of note, all psychotherapies are efficacious; however, it would be more advantageous to develop a standardized CBT that identifies variables that facilitate treatment outcomes specifically to comorbid disorders of substance use and mood disorders. It is concluded that there is potentially more to be gained from further studies using randomized controlled designs to determine its efficacy.
