“…As part of the CGC, it is important to inform the participants about preventive measures, the probability of transmitting the mutation and the consequent risk to their descendants, as well as to support them in making informed decisions.

It was created due to a series of collaborations between Universidad de Guadalajara and various national and international health institutions. Program goals include to assess the psychological state, emotional and decision-making support, as well as the promotion of healthy lifestyles in participants of PCP. A psychological treatment was created based on psycho-oncology, health psychology, and cognitive behavioral and transtheoretical model. Multidisciplinary interaction has been an essential element for its implementation.

BackgroundThe instrument called “Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale” (HADS) is frequently used to evaluate anxious and depressive symptomatology in patients who receive Cancer Genetic Counseling (CGC). However, this instrument cannot identify all of the psychosocial factors, such as the antecedents of the patients’ emotional states or their concerns. The objective of the present research was to compare cases detected with psychosocial alterations by means of HADS and a Psychological Health Interview (PHI).MethodsA transversal analytical design was used. One hundred ten participants were included (97.3% females and 2.7% males). The average age was 45 years ±10 years.ResultsThe PHI identified twice the amount of participants with psychosocial alterations than did HADS, which only detected 43% of these participants.ConclusionsThe results of our study suggest that the PHI should be applied in addition to HADS to identify participants who would require psychological support due to recurrent concerns.
