Kom op tegen Kanker lanceert een projectoproep voor initiatieven die de toegankelijkheid van de kankerzorg en de kankerpreventie voor migranten en etnische minderheden verbeteren.
Background: A substantial number of family caregivers go through bereavement because of cancer, but little is known about the bereaved caregivers’ long-term adjustment. This study aimed to document levels of bereavement outcomes (prolonged grief symptoms, intense emotional reaction to the loss, depressive symptoms, and life satisfaction) among family cancer caregivers 3–5 years post-loss and to investigate how self-rated preparedness for the patient’s death predicted those bereavement outcomes.
Objective: This study aims to identify patients with oesophageal cancer’s level of distress, type of problems, and wish for referral prior to treatment. To identify the clinical relevance of patients with oesophageal cancer’s level of distress and type of problems, we build models to predict elevated distress, wish for referral, and overall survival.
Objectives: This study aimed to examine (1) subgroups of cancer patients with distinct co-morbidity patterns of depression, anxiety and fatigue; (2) how individuals transitioned between these patterns; and (3) whether socio-demographic, clinical and psychological care characteristics distinguished patients’ transitions.
Objective: Informal caregivers (ICs) of patients with cancer and cancer survivors report a number of psychological and physical complaints because of the burden associated with providing care. Given the documented effect of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) on ICs’ common psychological complaints, such as anxiety and depression, the objective was to conduct a meta-analysis on the effect of CBTs for adult ICs.
To evaluate Telephone-Delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (T-CBT) compared to CBT face to face treatment as usual (TAU-CBT), in cancer patients with high psychological needs, in terms of mental health and coping.
Momenteel zijn de beschreven interventieprogramma’s voor volwassen kankerpatiënten en hun schoolgaande kinderen schaars, niet expliciet evidence based of niet via een theoretisch kader gedragen. Nochtans worden deze patiënten en hun kinderen zwaar getroffen op psychosociaal vlak.
