“…In this respect, the results of Nejati et al show a significantly positive correlation between the hope structure and cognitive structures such as sustained attention, planning, problem-solving, and shifting attention, which confirms Snyder's hope theory [26]. Additionally, people with reduced hope use fewer effective coping strategies [28,29] and are often emotion-focused. Similarly, the results of Campbell et al (2008), studying the role of executive functions in coping and behavioral strategies, demonstrated that there is a meaningful relationship between coping strategies and executive functions in individuals [30].…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of cognitive rehabilitation intervention on hope and depressive mood state of the elderly. Methods: In this field trial, 70 retired elderly people were recruited via convenience sampling method and were randomly allocated into intervention and control groups (n=35 per group). The intervention group participated in 12 one-hour sessions of cognitive rehabilitation program, whereas the control group received no intervention. Data were collected using a demographics form, Geriatric Depression Scale (Yesavage, 1983), and Snyder et al.’s Hope Scale (1991). Results: The mean depression score after intervention was significantly less in the intervention group than in the control group (P=0.004, t= 3.02). The mean hope score after intervention was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (p <0.001, t= 4.38). Conclusion: Cognitive rehabilitation program can be a useful instrument for healthcare specialists to yield promising results. It can improve both the depressive mood and hope status in the elderly.

“…Serious thought is warranted about how to incorporate the long‐term side effect profile of new therapies into shared decision‐making (and FDA approvals and drug development) as the potential for long‐term symptom burden for newer agents is currently unknown 36 . Effective interventions to mitigate the collateral damage from therapy, especially maintaining physical and psychological function, would be significant advances 37 ,. 38 …”

Prioritizing the worries of AML patients: Quantifying patient experience using best–worst scaling

et al. 2021

Context Although patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) experience significant toxicities and poor outcomes, few studies have quantified patients' experience. Methods A community‐centered approach was used to develop an AML‐specific best–worst scaling (BWS) instrument involving 13 items in four domains (psychological, physical, decision‐making, and treatment delivery) to quantify patient worry. A survey of patients and caregivers was conducted using the instrument. Data were analyzed using conditional logistic regression. Results The survey was completed by 832 patients and 237 caregivers. Patients were predominantly white (88%), married/partnered (72%), and in remission (95%). The median age was 55 years (range: 19–87). Median time since diagnosis was 8 years (range: 1–40). Patients worried most about “the possibility of dying from AML” (BWS score = 15.5, confidence interval [CI] [14.2–16.7]) and “long‐term side effects of treatments” (14.0, CI [12.9–15.2]). Patients found these items more than twice as worrisome as all items within the domains of care delivery and decision‐making. Patients were least worried about “communicating openly with doctors” (2.50, CI [1.97–3.04]) and “having access to the best medical care” (3.90, CI [3.28–4.61]). Caregiver reports were highly correlated to patients' (Spearman's ρ = 0.89) though noted significantly more worry about the possibility of dying and spending time in the hospital. Conclusion This large convenience sample demonstrates that AML patients have two principal worries: dying from their disease and suffering long‐term side effects from treatment. To better foster patient‐centered care, therapeutic decision‐making and drug development should reflect the importance of both potential outcomes. Further work should explore interventions to address these worries.

“…There are potentially additional underlying etiologies which can explain the benefits of marriage on cancer-cause specific survival. Since the diagnosis of hematological malignancies usually results in more grieved outcome than other hematological diagnoses [ 33 , 34 ], but it has been observed that married patients showed lower risk of major depression or anxiety than their unmarried counterparts [ 35 ], as emotional burden is shared by an intimate partner. Pessimism is another negative mediator between marital status and adherence to therapeutic approaches.…”

ObjectiveThis study investigated the impact of marital status on cancer-caused specific mortality among acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in the United States.MethodsWe used the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results program to identify 50,825 patients who had their clinical and follow-up information available and were diagnosed for AML between the years 1988 and 2015. The univariate and multivariable Cox regression models were used to analyze the patient data, and to minimize the group differences due to covariates between groups, a 1:1 propensity score matching was used in subsequent subgroup analysis.ResultsOur study demonstrated that married patients were less likely to die due to AML after adjusting for demographic and clinicopathological variables, than patients with variable unmarried status. Further analysis indicated that widowed, divorced and never married status correlated with poor cancer-cause specific survival than being married in almost all subgroups after being adjusted for the aforementioned variables (P<0.05). However, the difference between married and separated was not apparent. Moreover, similar survival analysis results were also observed in the 1:1 matched subgroups of marital status, but they displayed varied prognostic factors between them. The association of survival benefit with marriage in AML was consistent with the published survival benefit of conventional therapeutic approaches.ConclusionOverall, our study concluded that unmarried AML patients were at greater risk of cancer-specific mortality than married, and thus indicated that physicians should focus on health care strategies that target social support, in order to reduce the cancer-specific mortality in unmarried patients.
