In de loop der jaren is er een uitgebreid palet aan Psychosociale oncologische zorg (PSOZ) ontstaan. Naast het reguliere behandelaanbod binnen de PSOZ, zijn er altijd ontwikkelingen gaande en worden er nieuwe Psychosociale oncologische interventies (verder PSO-interventies) ontwikkeld. De praktijk wijst uit dat het niet altijd eenvoudig is om te ontdekken wàt er nu waar en voor wie aangeboden wordt: een overzicht van PSO-interventies ontbreekt.
Advanced prostate cancer patients often undergo androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Advanced disease and adverse ADT side effects are often debilitating and negatively impact mood. Social support has been shown to mitigate detrimental effects of stress on mood.
Objective: This study sought to characterize positive and negative mood in this select patient population and determine whether social support moderated relations between stress and mood.
Objective: The aim of this paper is to determine levels of supportive care needs, anxiety, depression and symptoms amongst patients newly diagnosed with localised invasive primary melanoma and if these varied amongst patients who had a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). We also considered quality of life compared with general population norms.
Objective: Significant heterogeneity was highlighted in recent meta-analyses examining exercise effects in cancer patients, suggesting that some characteristics may moderate exercise efficacy.
Background: Distress and psychiatric morbidity in cancer patients are associated with poorer outcomes including mortality. In this study, we examined the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity and its association with cancer survival over time.
Methods: Participants were 467 consecutive adult cancer patients attending oncology follow-ups at a single academic medical centre. Assessment consisted of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
Objective: Patients diagnosed with lung cancer report high levels of stigma and psychological distress. This study examined posttraumatic growth among lung cancer survivors as a potential buffer against this relationship between stigma and psychological distress and examined how these relationships differed by the timing of quitting smoking (pre versus post-diagnosis).
Background: Being involved in caring for family members during illness is part of the Indonesian culture, even during hospitalization. It is unknown which factors influence the quality of life (QoL) of family members taking care of their loved ones. The present study aims to identify factors influencing the QoL of family caregivers of hospitalized patients with cancer in Indonesia.
