“…Female caregivers report higher anxiety level than men, a finding that is supported by several studies (Hagedoorn et al, 2002;Grov et al, 2005;Goldzweig et al, 2009). For oncology nurses it seems important to have in mind female caregivers' expression of a higher level of anxiety when helping caregivers of cancer patients.…”

“…Previous studies have indicated that female caregivers are more distressed by factors involving social and family relationships, and male caregivers are more worried about work related and financial issues (Goldzweig et al, 2009). Supportiveness, mood and partners' health condition seem to be more sternly related to female caregivers' than to male caregivers' psychological well-being (Hagedoorn et al, 2002).…”

“…The same argument is given for the caregivers' mental health, and we expect higher level of anxiety and depression for caregivers of patients in the palliative phase and those with high symptom load. In addition we hypothesize that female caregivers' experience higher level of anxiety and depression than men (Hagedoorn et al, 2002;Goldzweig et al, 2009). …”

“…Studies have been performed during different stages of the cancer patients' disease trajectory, and for caregivers there are reported burden (Given et al, 2004;Goldstein et al, 2004;Doorenbos et al, 2007;Higginson et al, 2008), reaction in terms of particular burden and well-being (McCorkle et al, 1993;Nijboer et al, 1999;Hagedoorn et al, 2002;Grov et al, 2006c), quality of life (QOL) (Grov, 2005;Clark, 2006;Grov et al, 2006b), mental health (Edwards et al, 2004;Grov, 2005) , and a large number of specific aspects influencing the caregivers' situation, e.g. work and economy (Goldzweig et al, 2009), and the impact of educational level and educational programs facilitated for caregivers (Clark, 2006;Goldzweig et al, 2009). In a recent study 38% of caregivers reported depressive symptoms in the clinical range as measured by Center for Epidemiological StudiesDepression scale (CES-D) (Steel et al, 2011).…”

Subtitle: Cancer patients' symptoms affecting caregivers' quality of life and mental health Results:The main result showed that the symptom burden was close to equal when we compared the cancer patients in the palliative and the curative phase respectively. The whole sample of patients seemed extremely tired because they score high on items capturing fatigue or weakness. They also had problems with pain and constipation. For patients having trouble sleeping, the caregivers' reported higher level of depression, whilst caregivers' gender had impact on the caregivers' anxiety. The younger the patients the more impact on caregivers' QOL mental health. Conclusion:In this study no significant differences were revealed when comparing symptom burden among cancer patients in different stages of the disease. Caregivers reported more depression when patients had trouble sleeping and more declined mental quality of life when patients were younger. Female caregivers reported more anxiety than male caregivers.

“…Earlier investigations of coping with cancer focused on documenting the frequency of use of and the role played by psychological defense mechanisms (e.g., projection, suppression, denial, displacement, reaction formation) in adapting to the disease (Gleser et al 1969;Cooper et al 1978). Goldzweig et al (2009) studied the effects of gender difference among middle-aged cancer patients and their healthy spouses. This study assesses psychological distress, coping and social support among middle-aged couples, where one of the partners was diagnosed with colon cancer.…”

Abstract:The study was designed to explore the attitude towards coping of cancer and cardiac patients as related to certain socio-demographic factors like gender and SES. Purposively selected 360 respondents constituted the sample of the present study. Attitude towards Coping Scale (Rahman, 2010) was used for the collection of data. The sample was equally divided into three categories (cancer. cardiac, normal) on the basis of type of individuals (N=120 for each category).Again they were equally subdivided into male and female on the basis of gender (N=60 for each group).Each category was again equally subdivided into lower middle and upper middle on the basis of SES (N=30 for each group). Results analyzed through ANOVA revealed that the main effects for type of individuals, gender and SES were statistically significant. That is, both cancer and cardiac patients expressed lower coping attitudes as compared to normal individuals, females expressed lower coping attitudes as compared to males and lower middle SES individuals expressed lower coping attitudes as compared to upper middle SES. Again the two way interactions between type of individuals and gender, and type of individual and SES were statistically significant. Key Words:Coping, type of individuals, socio economic status, gender, cancer, cardiac.mvisk: Av_© -mvgvwRK wewfboe Dcv`vb †hgb: wj½ Ges Av_© -mvgvwRK Ae¯' vi †cÖ w ¶ ‡Z K¨vÝvi Ges KvwW© qvK Avµvš- †ivMx ‡`i †gvKv ‡ejvag© x g ‡bvfve hvPvB ‡qi Rb¨ eZ© gvb M ‡elYvwU Kiv nq| D ‡Ïk¨gjKfv ‡e wbe© vwPZ 360 Rb DËi`vZv ‡K M ‡elYvi bgy bv wnmv ‡e †bqv nq| DcvË msMÖ ‡ni Rb¨ †gvKv ‡ejvag© x g ‡bvfve gvcK (ingvb, 2010) e¨eüZ nq| e¨w³i aib (K¨vÝvi, KvwW© qvK, ¯vfvweK) Gi Dci wfwË K ‡i bgy bv ‡K wZbwU K¨vUvMwi ‡Z fvM Kiv nq (cÖ wZ ` ‡j 120 Rb)| Gici Zv ‡`i ‡K wj ‡½i wfwË ‡Z `y Õfv ‡M ( †Q ‡j = 60 Rb, †g ‡q = 60 Rb) fvM Kiv nq| Avevi, Zv ‡`i ‡K Av_© -mvgvwRK Ae¯' vby hvqx wbgoe ga¨weË I D"P ga¨weË (cÖ wZ ` ‡j 30 Rb K ‡i) G `y Õfv ‡M fvM Kiv nq| †f`vsK we ‡k− lY Øviv cÖ vß djvdj †_ ‡K †`Lv hvq, e¨w³i aiY, wj½ Ges Av_© -mvgvwRK Ae¯' vi gy L¨ cÖ fve cwimsL¨vwbKfv ‡e Zvrch© cỸ© n ‡q ‡Q| K¨vÝvi Ges KvwW© qvK Dfq †ivMxivB ¯vfvweK e¨w³ ‡`i Zz jbvq Kg †gvKv ‡ejvag© x g ‡bvfvM †cvlY K ‡i, †g ‡qiv †Q ‡j ‡`i Zz jbvq Kg †gvKv ‡ejvag© x g ‡bvfve †cvlY K ‡i, wbgoe ga¨weËiv D"Pga¨weË ‡`i Zz jbvq Kg †gvKv ‡ejvag© x g ‡bvfve †cvlY K ‡i| Avevi, e¨w³i aiY I wj½ Ges e¨w³i aiY I Av_© -mvgvwRK Ae¯' vi wØ-gy Lx cvi¯úwiK cÖ fvemgñI cwimsL¨vwbKfv ‡e Zvrch© cỸ© n ‡q ‡Q|
