“…These results are in line with the literature evidencing that years since diagnosis is an important predictor of PTG (Soo and Sherman, 2015;Danhauer et al, 2013).…”

“…With regard to the relationship between PTG and distress, the literature is not homogeneous. Some studies have highlighted that distress is related to PTG (Soo and Sherman, 2015),suggesting that psychological distress and PTG are not always mutually exclusive, while others have evidenced no association between PTG and distress (Cordova et al,1995;2007;Bellizzi et al, 2010).Our results show that there are significant differences in PTG levels between women with or without depressive symptoms (HADS_D) in the follow-up period. Depressed women showed significantly lower levels of psychological growth, lower levels of positive change in appreciation of life and in recognizing new possibilities than nondepressed women.…”

“…Paradoxically, some studies have highlighted that PTG and distress can co-occur, suggesting that they are not mutually exclusive (Soo et al, 2015;Cordova et al, 2001;2007). Identifying the correlates of PTG appears to be very important in order to increase knowledge about it and, perhaps to promote PTG itself through specific interventions.…”

Post-traumatic growth, distress and attachment style among women with breast cancer / Romeo, Annunziata; Ghiggia, Ada; Tesio, Valentina; Di Tella, Marialaura; Torta, Riccardo; Castelli, Lorys. -In: JOURNAL OF PSYCHOSOCIAL ONCOLOGY. -ISSN 0734-7332. -35:3(2017), pp. 309-322. Original Citation:Post-traumatic growth, distress and attachment style among women with breast cancer AbstractWe investigated the level of Post-traumatic growth (PTG) and its relationship with clinical and psychological variables in a sample of 108 females breast cancer survivors. The data were collected through the PTG Inventory, the Relationship Questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Distress Thermometer. Women with higher depressive symptoms presented lower levels of PTG than women without. Moreover, women who had undergone combined treatment presented higher levels of PTG than women who had not. In conclusion, the presence of depressive symptoms in the follow-up period was found to negatively interfere with the possibility of developing psychological growth.

“…This finding reminds us of research studies conducted by Wardel and Wicks (2012) and Soo and Sherman (2015) who claimed that although rumination is often associated only with negative content experienced automatically, in fact they are not always negative or automatic because rumination's function depends on its timing, type, and content (22,44).…”

The Relationship between Cognitive Emotion-Regulation Strategies and Resiliency in Advanced Patients with Cancer

2017

Background: Resiliency is a very important component in chronic diseases like cancer. Therefore, investigating factors affecting resiliency seems to be necessary. The current study investigates the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERS) and resiliency, on one hand, and the CERS role in predicting resiliency, on the other hand, among the studied population. Methods: In a correlational method, 121 patients with advanced cancer, who have hospitalized in January 2015 to July 2015 in ALA cancer prevention and control center, were selected. Instruments include the Garnefski-Alt cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire and Connor-Davidson resilience inventory. Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis with SPSS 20. Results: Findings indicate that regression model is significant and CERS can predict 95% of resiliency in the level of 99%. Also, adaptive strategies can explain resiliency's changes (62%) more than maladaptive strategies (40%) in this group. In the regression model, more use of refocus on planning, putting in to perspective, acceptance and positive refocusing as well as less use of catastrophizing, positive reappraisal, self-blame, and other-blame can predict resilience strongly. Among these strategies, catastrophizing and refocus on planning were common strategies contributing to resilience. Conclusions: These findings suggested that emotion regulation strategies chosen by patients with advanced cancer can effect on their resiliency's status. This issue might help us to determine potential targets for applying psychotherapeutic interventions based on CERS education in order to improve resiliency in this group.

Background: Cancer is one of the most serious chronic diseases and risk factors for population health. Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in females. Today, some researchers in the field of clinical psychology by the implementation of psychosocial interventions sought to examine these effects on psychopathology in patients with breast cancer. Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the efficacy of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on the improvement of cognitive emotion regulation and decrease of clinical symptoms in females with breast cancer. Methods: Sixteen females with breast cancer who referred to radiation oncology centers of Mashhad, Iran, were selected and randomly assigned (with Graph Pad software) into two groups of eight as intervention and control groups .The participants in the pretest, posttest and follow-up (four months) were examined by cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ-P) and depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS-21). Intervention group received eight sessions of two hours (one day per week) of mindfulnessbased cognitive therapy and controls were placed on a waiting list. Data were analyzed by SPSS using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Results:The intervention group showed a significant reduction in the rate of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies. But no significant differences were observed in the increase of adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and decrease of clinical symptoms between the two intervention and control groups. Conclusions: Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy may be effective to reduce maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies.
