“…The reason for this may be that patients face great psychological pressure after being diagnosed with cancer and will show a negative emotion of letting go. Although acceptance-resignation can reduce the psychological pressure of patients in the short term [ 42 ], it will put patients in a negative mood in the long run, affect their initiative, and hinder the implementation of their health behavior, and is not conducive to patients’ perception of BF. It is thus suggested that medical staff strengthen the psychological guidance of patients and guide them in using positive coping styles to alleviate psychological stress.…”

(1) Background: Although the research on benefit finding (BF) in China has increased in recent years, it remains in its infancy. Few previous studies have focused on early-stage cancer patients. Therefore, this research study aimed to explore BF and its influencing factors for early-stage cancer patients in China. (2) Methods: From April to August 2019, 319 patients with early-stage cancer in the treatment period were selected by the convenience sampling method and evaluated using the Benefit Finding of Cancer Patients Scale-Chinese (BFS-C), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ). (3) Results: The mean BF score was 47.57 (SD = 12.26). The results of the correlation analysis show that benefit finding was positively correlated with social support, but negatively correlated with acceptance-resignation. In addition, social support was negatively correlated with avoidance and acceptance-resignation. The results of the multiple linear regression indicate that the variables of self-assessment of disease severity, exercise time, coping mode (acceptance-resignation), and social support, affect BF. Finally, social support was shown to exert an intermediary effect on acceptance-resignation and BF. (4) Conclusions: In this study, the score of BF of patients with early-stage cancer was low. Medical staff should be more aware of the health behavior of patients with early-stage cancer, guide them to actively face the disease, and fully mobilize the social support of patients’ friends and family, so as to help patients increase their disease BF.

“…This scale is capable of measuring temporary psychological changes induced by stressful situations. The SRS-18 is sufficiently valid and reliable and has been standardized for the Japanese population [ 68 , 69 ]. The scale consists of 18 items and the responses are recorded on a 4-point scale (0 = not at all to 3 = exactly so).…”

Associations between Stigma, Cognitive Appraisals, Coping Strategies and Stress Responses among Japanese Women Undergoing Infertility Treatment

et al. 2022

The number of infertility treatment cycles in Japan is the highest worldwide. Studies have shown that stigma is a predictor of stress-related symptoms including anxiety and depression in women undergoing infertility treatment. Stress management to prevent stress-related symptoms may be crucial; however, few studies have examined the model of stigma and stress responses. Based on the stress-coping model, we hypothesized that stigma threatens the identity of such women and that coping failure increases stress responses. We aimed to explore the role of cognitive appraisals and coping strategies as mediators of the association between the stigma of infertility and stress responses. In December 2021, we conducted a cross-sectional study in Japan, in which 254 women undergoing infertility treatment completed a web-based survey. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was conducted to analyze the associations between stigma, cognitive appraisals, coping strategies, and stress responses. The results showed that explanatory power increased with each additional variable in the following order: stigma, cognitive appraisals, and coping. Participants with a high level of stigma evaluated it as threatening, and used self-blame and venting coping strategies, and showed higher stress responses. Conversely, participants who used positive reframing coping strategies exhibited lower stress responses. Based on this, effective strategies to address stigma and stress responses are necessitated.

“…The majority of studies included in this review were performed by nurses and based their interventions on the theorical contribution by Transactional Model of Stress and Coping (9) . Although this model is derived from the principles of health psychology, and considering that autonomous nursing interventions should be based on nursing theories and expertise, this model is frequently used by oncological nurses due to its positive effect on cancer patients' psychological health, especially when the intervention focus is illness adaptation, stress management and coping mechanisms (75)(76)(77)(78)(79)(80)(81) . Nurses concerns with disease adaptation are not confined to the Psychology's body of evidence, as evidenced by use of the Adaptation Model of Nursing (82)(83) as theoretical framework for one of the studies included in this review.…”

Objective: To map the scientific evidence published in the literature about nursing strategies and intervention programs directed at supporting psychological adaptation in adult cancer patients. Method: A scoping review based on Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers’ Manual 2015 Methodology for JBI Scoping Reviews was conducted. Twelve databases were searched between 1 January 2012 and 31 January 2019. Results: From 2203 studies, 32 were included. Evidence was grouped in five subjects: procedures, outcome assessment measures, nursing feasibility, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. The cognitive-behavioral therapy was most frequent intervention. These interventions were developed between 5 to 10 weeks, included 3 to 6 sessions and lasted up to 60 minutes. Despite a wide range of outcome measures employed, three main areas were identified, adjustment and coping; stress, anxiety and fear of recurrence; and quality of life. Conclusion: This review allowed to identify nursing strategies to support psychological adaptation in adult cancer patients, to assess vulnerabilities and difficulties related to nurse interventions and to recognize the need for further insights into the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness.
