“…We thus analyzed the cohort studies based on 19 items (1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,16,17,18,20,21,22,25,26,27) and the case-control studies based on 17 items (1,2,3,5,6,7,10,11,12,16,17,18,20,21,22,25,27). Items 9 and 26 were not used in the evaluation of case-control studies since they contain questions that do not apply to this type of study.…”

“…A growing number of studies 18,19,20,21,22,23 have been conducted to investigate this possible causality, specifically linked to stressful life events: divorce, death of husband or child, friend's illness, personal health problems, change in marital status (separation, divorce, or widowhood), change in financial status, or death of close relatives.…”

Association between stress and breast cancer in women: a meta-analysis

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The objective of the current meta-analysis was to verify the association between stressful life events and primary breast cancer incidence in women. A total of 618 studies from 1982-2007 were found in the PubMed, LILACS, and Cochrane Library databases. Methodological quality was evaluated according to the Downs & Black criteria. Eight studies were selected (six case-controls and two cohorts). The studies were grouped in three analyses, two of which based on the categories widowhood and divorce and the other based on self-rated intensity and frequency of stressful events. Relative risks were: widowhood 1.04 (95%CI: 0.75-1.44; p = 0.800); divorce 1.03 (95%: 0.72-1.48; p = 0.850); and intensity/frequency of stress 1.73 (95%CI: 0.98-3.05; p = 0.059). We conclude that stressful life events as a whole are not associated with risk of breast cancer in women. However, it is not possible to rule out high-intensity stress as a risk factor for breast cancer.

“…Emotional self-efficacy (that is confidence about emotion modulation and emotional expression) measured by the SESES-C was related to fewer mood disturbances, problems in medical interaction, and traumatic stress symptoms (Han et al, 2005;Koopman et al, 2002;Palesh et al, 2006). Self-efficacy of affect regulation, when measured by the CBI, was negatively related to difficulties in communicating with medical staff .…”

The important role of emotion regulation and expression in adaptation to breast cancer is now widely recognized. Studies have shown that optimal emotion regulation strategies, including less constrained emotional expression, are associated with better adaptation. Our objective was to systematically review measures used to assess the way women with breast cancer regulate their emotions. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Nine different databases were searched. Data were independently extracted and assessed by two researchers. English-language articles that used at least one instrument to measure strategies to regulate emotions in women with breast cancer were included. Of 679 abstracts identified 59 studies were deemed eligible for inclusion. Studies were coded regarding their objectives, methods, and results. We identified 16 instruments used to measure strategies of emotion regulation and expression. The most frequently employed instrument was the Courtauld A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT

PurposeTo describe what is known about levels of morbidity and the experience and needs of people with cancer, and their carers, living in rural areas. MethodsA search of online databases for English language papers describing or assessing the prevalence of psychosocial morbidity or needs in a population of rural or regional cancer patients. Excluded: intervention studies, discussion of service delivery, effectiveness of support groups or support via videoconferencing, concentrated on medical outcomes or survival rates, reported differences in the uptake of cancer screening, or concentrated on health attitudes or treatment decision making. ResultsThere were 37 studies included in the review, including 25 quantitative studies (all surveys), 11 of which included a control group of urban patients, and 12 qualitative studies. Until recently, most studies had methodological short-comings. Only two prospective studies were identified, most studies focused on breast cancer and few addressed psychological morbidity. The majority of controlled studies reported worse 3 outcomes for rural patients, who appear to have higher needs in the domains of physical/daily living. This may reflect more limited access to resources, a more selfsufficient lifestyle and personal characteristics, for example, being more stoical and less likely to ask for help. The need to travel for treatment caused many practical, emotional and financial problems for patients and burdened them with additional worry concerning family and work commitments. Some patients reported benefits in sharing experiences with others also forced to stay away from home, but most agreed that staying at home was preferable. ConclusionThis review highlights that whilst we are beginning to get some insight into the needs of people with cancer in rural areas, much is still unknown. Population-based, prospective studies including people with heterogenous cancers from rural and urban settings are needed.
