Adjustment to perceived ovarian cancer risk

Abstract

The hypotheses that a firm's environmental performance has a positive impact on its financial performance and vice versa are statistically supported by Japanese data. However, this tendency for two‐way positive interaction appears to be only a relatively recent phenomenon. The tendency for realizing the two‐way interaction is not limited to the top‐scoring firms in terms of both financial and environmental performance. On the contrary, this is also a trend that can be observed fairly generally. Obviously, when we consider only scores of those companies that published the relevant information in their environmental reports, and conduct the statistical causality test with such information as additional input to the pooled time‐series and cross‐section data of financial performance, the results become more strongly significant. From the recent experience of environmental policies in Japan, we infer that information‐based environmental policy measures are effective to encourage the ongoing transition toward a more sustainable market economy.

Anxiety and depression and cognitive coping strategies and health locus of control in patients with ovary and uterus cancer during anticancer therapy

“…The obtained research results show the existence of the correlation of anxiety and depression and health locus of control of stating that the higher the severity of depression, the weaker the internal health locus of control. It is consistent with results of the study on locus of control and adjustment in cancer patients, which shows that a high level of internal control is associated with anxious preoccupation [ 18 ], while showing external locus of control and powerful other indicate being more compliant with their physicians’ recommendations for testing and examination, in women with the risk of ovarian cancer [ 19 ].…”

Psychosocial functioning in women who have undergone bilateral prophylactic mastectomy

“…Although the majority of women in our study did not have high levels of cancer-related distress (as measured by the IES), this was not unexpected because following prophylactic mastectomy, women estimate their personal risk of developing breast cancer to be low (Metcalfe and Narod, 2002). The mean scores for both the intrusion and avoidance sub-scales of the IES were comparable or lower to those reported previously in high-risk women and in women with breast cancer (Esplen et al, 2000;Franco et al, 2000;Manne et al, 2001;Nordin et al, 2001;Watson et al, 1999). Interestingly, we observed that women who continued to perceive their level of breast cancer risk as high were experiencing high levels of distress, both globally and specifically (i.e.…”
