Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to test a theoretical model which predicted subjective well-being in patients who had been diagnosed with malignant melanoma. The theoretical model was developed from empirical findings based on a review of the literature in which health locus of control, social support and self-esteem were identified as significant predictors of well-being. The specific aim of this study was to examine the strength of the predicted relationships between selected psychosocial variables and subjective well-being. The study utilized a nonexperimental correlational design with a caus

Abstract:

Cancer has long been a prevalent illness in Hong Kong which caused tremendous stress on patients and their families. This study examined the cognitive process and behavioral efforts which related to cancer patients’ subjective well-being. Three hypotheses were proposed. First, higher internal locus of control over the cause of illness was hypothesized to relate to poorer subjective well-being through maladaptive coping. Second, higher internal locus of control over the course of illness may result in better subjective well-being through adaptive coping. Third, higher levels of hope may relate

Abstract:

Colorectal cancer has been a major health issue worldwide. Not only it affects the patients but it also carries physical and psychological influences to their caregivers. Despite the concerns of the psychological needs of caregivers of colorectal cancer patients, there has been a lack of a good understanding of their needs, and how to intervene in order to alleviate their psychological problems and burdens. Therefore, this thesis aimed at designing and evaluating a nurse-led telephone based psychosocial education program for improving the psychological conditions and quality of life among Chin

Abstract:

Liver transplantation is a widespread treatment for both acute and chronic liver disease. Previous research has indicated that psychological well-being is strongly associated with positive health outcomes post-transplant. There is also evidence however to suggest a significant level of psychiatric morbidity in patients posttransplant. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate liver transplant surgery according to both physical and psychological results. This study implemented a longitudinal mixed methods approach.

Prostate cancer (PC) affects one in eight men in North America and continues to be the most common site of cancer in males, especially among older men in Europe and the United States, and the second most common cancer worldwide.

The well-being of patients diagnosed with PC is a largely unexplored research area. Numerous factors likely impact men’s psychological well-being as they progress through the experience of managing PC. Among the various factors that m

Background: Despite advances in cancer prognosis and increased survival rates for childhood cancer, having a child diagnosed with cancer can be considered one of the most stressful life events in a parent’s life.

Parents can find it difficult to adjust and use effective coping strategies to deal with the illness-related demands.

Background: Rectal cancer 5-year survival has increased from 58% of those diagnosed in 1987-1989 to 68% of those diagnosed in 2003-2009. Rectal cancer patients commonly receive one of two surgical treatments: permanent ostomy (a resection of tumor following by a stoma) or anastomosis (a resection followed by a reconnection with or without a prior temporary ostomy). The multifaceted consequences of both types of surgery potentially can affect both long-term psychological well-being and financial concerns of patients and their families.
