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:

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:

IntroductionBreast Cancer is the most frequent cause of death by cancer in Women. Therefore Breast Cancer is a priority of the Portuguese Health Ministry. Mental illness, as Depression, is also a priority of that Ministry and breast cancer presents higher psychopathology comorbidity than general population. These both facts emphasize the relevance of the studies about interventions to promote mental health of Portuguese breast cancer women. Simultaneously, there are little studies about the applicability and efficiency of Cognitive Behavior Group Therapy in the European context and in Portugal in particular.ObjectivesWe purpose to develop a group cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) program to breast cancer survivors and implement it in a Portuguese group.MethodsAfter a proper review of cognitive behavior group therapy programs to oncologic patients, we will adapt them to the Portuguese population. Then, a study will be made with a group of breast cancer survivors. We intent to assess them before and after the therapy in respect to the following psychological variables: self-concept, optimism, coping, quality of life and psychopathology.ResultsWe expect to improve the knowledge about the applicability of Cognitive Behavior Group Therapy in Portuguese (and European) context.ConclusionsIn sum, we expect to contribute with efficient psychological interventions to Breast Cancer Women survivors, in respect to self-concept, optimism, coping, quality of life and psychopathology.

Abstract:

11021 Background: Clinicians frequently discuss death and dying with patients who have cancer. However, the doctor-patient hierarchy and the unfamiliar clinical environment may prevent these patients from discussing death and dying authentically. Patients may feel more comfortable expressing themselves when given the time and space to write at home. Firefly, an award-winning program at UCSF, facilitates written correspondence between patients with cancer and medical students over the course of one year. Firefly’s archive contains thousands of patient letters and constitutes a unique resource for analyzing authentic patient expression outside of the clinical context. The aim of the current study is to improve curricula pertaining to severe illness and end-of-life by providing educators with an analysis of authentic patient perspectives about death and dying expressed in these letters. Methods: We (two medical students, an expressive artist, and an oncologist) read all Firefly letters written by patients between 2014 and 2019 and identified 12 patients whose letters meaningfully discussed death or dying. We performed a thematic analysis of these letters using the Buckman three-stage model of dying as a reference. Results: Four themes emerged: turmoil; grief; making peace; and past, present and future. The first three themes aligned with the Buckman stages. The fourth theme—past, present and future—spanned the three stages and also elaborated the Buckman model by describing multiple paths that patients may take after passing through these stages. Conclusions: The authentic ways in which patients with cancer discussed death and dying in their letters provided deep insight into their coping process. The Buckman model appears useful for framing death and dying from the patient perspective but may not fully reflect modern oncologic care in which many patients live for years beyond a severe or terminal diagnosis. Educators can use the identified themes to shape medical school curricula pertaining to severe illness and end-of-life care.

Abstract:

Objetivo: describir el significado de la experiencia de estar gravemente enfermo y hospitalizado en una Unidad de Cuidado Intensivo. Metodología: investigación cualitativa basada en la teoría fundada, realizada en Medellín, Colombia, de abril a octubre de 2006; incluyó a nueve personas adultas entre 24 y 80 años que estuvieron críticamente enfermas y hospitalizadas en UCI. La entrevista en profundidad se utilizó para la recolección de información. Los datos se analizaron según el esquema propuesto por Cohen, Kahan y Steeves. Resultados: poner de su parte es necesario para afrontar una enfermedad y hace referencia a los medios personales y externos que los participantes utilizaron para aceptar y adaptarse a la enfermedad y atenuar su condición amenazante. Discusión: vivir la experiencia de padecer una enfermedad grave significó que los participantes se valieran de recursos personales internos disponibles y de algunas formas de apoyo social como la familia, la religión, los enfermeros, los amigos y conocidos e incluso de personas desconocidas. Conclusión: los recursos personales y sociales ayudan a los pacientes a afrontar las emociones que despierta una situación que no pueden resolver por sí mismos como es el padecimiento de una enfermedad grave.

Abstract:

Introduction: Pakistan is a developing country where the majority of the populationbelongs to the lower socioeconomic class. Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and kidneydiseases are increasing day by day in Pakistan. Individuals suffering from chronic illnesses are ata greater risk of problems as compared to the un-sick. Their vulnerable situation and the stressof the event creates a lot of changes, changing the meaning of individual lives altogether. Tounderstand the dynamics of chronic illnesses, it is important to find out what coping strategieswere used by the cardiac and renal failure patients? Objectives: The researchers tried to findout whether cardiac and renal failure patients differ in their coping strategies. Study Design:Quantitative cross sectional study. Period: August 2014. Setting: The data was collected fromthe Dialysis Units of Mayo Hospital, Jinnah Hospital, Lahore General Hospital and all admittedpatients of Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore. These four hospitals have good turn-over ofthe patients. Materials and Methods: Purposive sampling method was used in this study. Forthe collection of quantitative data, a hospital-based survey was conducted by using a structuredinterview schedule. 275 patients (131-cardiac and 144-renal failure) including 184 males and91 females between age of 20 to 110 years were interviewed. Mean age was 44 years (S.D= 15.338). T-Test for independent groups and Pearson’s correlation tests were carried out tocompare cardiac and renal failure patients coping strategies along with descriptive statistics.Results: Results indicate that renal failure patients used more physical coping (M = 11.23), t (df= 273) = -1.235, p<.01 that cardiac patients (M = 10.83), t(df = 273) = -1.242, p<.01. Cardiacpatients used more psychological (M = 28.69), t(df = 273) = 1.511,p<.01and behavioral coping(M = 17.37), t(df = 273) = 3.977,p<.01 than renal failure patients psychological(M = 27.97),t(df = 273) = -1.517,p<.01 and behavioral coping(M = 15.43), t(df = 273) = 3.980,p<.01. F =11.800.1.882, and 0.623 which are greater (i.e., p<.05). Pearson’s Product-moment correlationcoefficient show strong correlation exists between behavioral and psychological coping (r =.428). Conclusions: Study found significant differences between the cardiac and renal failurepatients coping strategies. Renal failure patients used physical coping strategies more whereascardiac patients used more psychological and behavioral coping strategies.

Abstract:

ObjectivesEvaluate a population of individuals with cancer referred to a first psychiatric appointment.MethodsDescriptive and correlation analysis of first assessments of patients during three months.ResultsA significant amount of patients were referred due to prior psychiatric pathology and for being under psychopharmacotherapy. Requests demanding an evaluation under the new disease status were fewer than it would have been expected in this population. Most patients were sent with objective symptoms or high cancer stages. The most frequent diagnosis was adjustment disorder with anxiety or depression, and also depressive disorder.ConclusionsDistress levels in oncological patients demand a focused approach towards the psychological well-being.

Abstract:

Background. A greater number of older adults now live with chronic illness. This poses a significant public health problem, because older adults are at high risk for chronic illness -related mortality and morbidity. Methods. In the project on older adult self care in chronic illness, we administered nine subscales (Illness Consequences, Illness Coherence, Illness Timeline—Cyclical, Personal Control, Treatment Control, Illness Representations, Illness Identity, and Causal Attributions) of the Illness Perception Questionnaire— Revised (IPQ-R). Multivariable linear regression analyses explored the associations between illness perception, wellness-focused coping, and illness-focused coping as measured by CPCI42. Results. Among the 76 respondents (39.47% women; mean age, 64.53±6.93 years), in multivariable regression models, either illness perception variables or coping strategies variables were associated with chronic illness. Higher scores on causal attributions were associated with coping strategies chosen scores. Higher scores on the causal attributions (β = 0.63), Illness Coherence (β = -0.50), illness representations(β = 0.66) and Personal Control scales(β = -0.53) were associated with several scores of coping strategies chosen by chronically ill older persons. Conclusion. Older adults with chronic illness report a high understanding of their disease, feel that chronic illness has significant illness representations consequences, and endorse both illness coherence and personal control over their coping strategies. Illness perceptions did not vary with increased age or worsening disease severity, suggesting that illness perceptions may develop during aging. The self-regulatory model may provide a useful guide for the development of effective interventions tailored to older adults.

Abstract:

This study investigated the effects of illness perceptions and coping with disease on health-related quality of life in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Therefore, participants ( N = 444) completed online questionnaires assessing illness severity (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease stage), Illness Perceptions Questionnaire, coping with disease (Essener Coping Questionnaire), and health-related quality of life (short form-12). Hierarchical regression and moderation analyses were conducted. The results showed that health-related quality of life was predicted by illness perceptions and several aspects of coping with disease. The association between illness perceptions and health-related quality of life was mediated by the corresponding coping with disease subscales. It is concluded that in order to prevent decreasing health-related quality of life in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, treatment may be adjusted by promoting coping with disease and functional illness perceptions.

Abstract:

In the context of psycho-oncology today, there is a specific need to develop better tools for psychological assessment, as well as clinical intervention, that address cancer-related stressors. Particularly, focus should be on the events that preceded and underpinned the onset of the organic disease to treat these throughout the entire course of the illness and to help the patient face cancer and its correlates. It is hypothesized that eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy promotes the elicitation of the innate self-healing capacity; its effect is believed to be mainly linked to the interaction between the natural healing process of the immune system and adaptive information reprocessing. Because of the specific characteristics of the “cancer event,” seen as a “traumatic event,” it is fundamental to develop and adopt specialized protocols focused on the illness. This article outlines a comprehensive model that helps to identify crucial target memories for EMDR psychotherapy with patients with cancer. Examining each stage of the cancer treatment may help in understanding the relationship between the body and EMDR and how the imbalance may be corrected. The EMDR protocol for patients with cancer is explained step by step, in detail, and illustrated with clinical vignettes and through a case history.
