Coping

De bedoeling van dit spel is u met anderen in gesprek te brengen over de wijze waarop u vb situaties ervaart.

De centrale vraag is: Wat voel ik?

Het spel bestaat uit 140 kleurrijke kaarten, verdeeld over drie groepen:

Prettige gevoelens. Voorbeelden zijn: blij, trots, tevreden, veilig en gesteund.

Onprettige gevoelens. Voorbeelden zijn: boos, bezorgd, onrustig, schuldig of beledigd.

Objective: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with cancer between 15 and 39 years of age often report need for greater amounts of cancer-related information and perceive that cancer has had a negative impact on control over their life. We examined whether unmet information need and perceived control over life are associated with health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

Objective: The aim of the study was to examine awareness of cancer and the relationship with distress and satisfaction with care among Italian cancer patients.

Purpose: A clinical pathway for anxiety and depression in adult cancer patients was developed to guide best practice in Australia.

Methods: The pathway was based on a rapid review of existing guidelines, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, stakeholder interviews, a Delphi process with 87 multidisciplinary stakeholders and input from a multidisciplinary advisory panel.

Objective: Patient suffering is a neglected area of care, partly because of poor definitions. The aim of this study was to distill what is currently known about suffering in the health literature in order to generate a conceptual basis for further research.

Als je te horen krijgt dat je kanker hebt, kan het lijken alsof heel je wereld instort. Kanker tast niet alleen je lichaam, maar ook je leven en dat van je partner, kinderen, vrienden en kennissen aan. De emoties gieren door je hoofd en lichaam. Er zijn gevoelens van verbijstering, intens verdriet, wanhoop, ongeloof, schuld, onzekerheid of woede maar ook van hoop. Dat zijn stuk voor stuk normale reacties. Toch kunnen ze je leven behoorlijk op z’n kop zetten. Een specifieke emotie, die dikwijls de kop opsteekt bij de diagnose kanker, is angst.

Objective: Fatigue is the most frequently occurring and distressing symptom in patients with advanced cancer, caused by multiple factors. Neither a specific histological diagnosis of malignancy nor the type of anticancer treatment seem to be strongly related to fatigue, which support the idea that other factors may play a role. This study investigated to what extent the model of fatigue-perpetuating factors that is known for cancer survivors was applicable for patients with advanced cancer.

Objective: There are conflicting empirical data regarding the relationship between posttraumatic stress (PTS) and growth (PTG) observed in cancer survivors. Clarification of this association could inform evidence-based therapeutic recommendations to promote adjustment in survivors following a cancer diagnosis.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the effects of dispositional hope on psychopathology as well as self-perceived positive change in childhood cancer survivors through the potential mediation of cancer-related ruminations.
