“…As our findings indicate that self-regulation abilities such as goal re-engagement and self-efficacy play an important role in psychological wellbeing in H&N cancer patients and their partners, it seems obvious to target possible future interventions on increasing these capabilities. Before treatment, additional information in the form of a leaflet or DVD (Schofield et al, 2008) could be given, specifically related to psychological consequences of H&N cancer that enhances self-efficacy. An H&N cancer nurse or a psychologist could give information and train patients and partners to engage in attainable life goals and to increase self-efficacy capabilities.…”

a b s t r a c tPurpose and objective of the research: In this cross-sectional study we used a self-regulation perspective to better understand the experience of psychological distress in head & neck (H&N) cancer patients and their partners. We examined which goals they valued and the extent to which patients and partners experience goal disturbance. Furthermore, associations were explored between goal disturbance, goal reengagement, (goal)self-efficacy, and psychological distress. Methods and sample: H&N cancer patients and their partners, recruited from the Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam (N ¼ 40), were interviewed and completed questionnaires, assessing the above aspects of the self-regulation theory. Key results: H&N cancer patients and their partners experienced goal disturbance from the disease. Such disturbances were in patients significantly related to more psychological distress. Higher levels of goal re-engagement were related to less psychological distress, again only significantly in patients. More self-efficacy was significantly associated with less psychological distress in both patients and partners. Conclusions: Self-regulation abilities as goal re-engagement and self-efficacy may be screened and used as target in future psychological interventions, given their potential to decrease perceived psychological distress. In view of elevated levels of goal disturbances in partners, psychological support for caring relatives in such interventions is recommended.

“…They emphasised taking responsibility for learning to know the Zulu culture The HCPs reported on patients' cultural beliefs regarding amputation. Proposed strategies for responding to Zulu patients' responses to amputation included timing the treatment discussion and using patient models -or videos of patients who have successfully rehabilitated after amputation -as a means of easing patients' anxieties and facilitating decision-making (Baile & Beale 2001;Krouse 2001;Schofield et al 2008). The participants ensured that the patients received care -whether or not they chose amputation.…”

The psychological factors for Breast Cancer BrCa are very important, as they assist in improving the adaptation of the new situations they have to deal with. This study is to provide psycho-educational materials as intervention tools in enhancing coping with the psychosexual problems faced by Sudanese BrCa women. Study sample of 89 BrCa women were randomly selected to either educational group (n = 30), intervention group (n = 29), or control group (n = 30). To be eligible for the study, women were married, sexually active with their husbands, and inhabitant in Khartoum state during the implementation of the study. Two scales were been filled by all the participants as measurements for this study and those are: Watts Sexual Function Questionnaire (WSFQ) which measures and provides a total sexual function score and subscale score for desire, arousal, orgasm and satisfaction. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is the other measurement that used in this study. Significant difference has been found in regard to HADS and WSFQ pre-and post-test analysis for the experiential group. Women assigned to the educational materials group had significant higher posttest scores on both HADS and WSFQ scales than women assigned to psychosexual intervention program.
