Relationship between cancer‐related fatigue and personality in patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy

Abstract

There was CRF in patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy. Psychoticism, extroversion/introversion, neuroticism, and lie are correlated with CRF in breast cancer patients after chemotherapy.

Impact of Personality Traits, Anxiety, Depression and Hopelessness Levels on Quality of Life in the Patients with Breast Cancer

“…It was also underlined that in addition to conservative therapy of breast cancer, personality, acceptability and neuroticism were important factors responsible for the emergence of depressive symptoms a year after surgical therapy (11). Moreover, in post-chemotherapy patients with breast cancer, cancerrelated fatigue level was found to be correlated with psychoticism, extraversion/introversion, neuroticism and lie subscales of EPI (12). There are few studies on investigation of the relationship between personality traits and the quality of life in the patients with breast cancer.…”

Mortality and survival patterns of childhood lymphomas: geographic and age‐specific patterns in Southern‐Eastern European and SEER/US registration data

The US mortality data for the total childhood population were provided by the National Center for Health Statistics . Cause of death was coded according to the 10th Revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD‐10) .…”

Assessment of psychosocial dimensions of return to work after a cancer diagnosis: Current perspectives and future opportunities

“…Although personality has been shown to significantly influence the psychological experience of cancer, Gudbergsson, Fosså, and Dahl have previously pointed out the lack of interest in the scientific field in exploring the effect of personality in the relationship between health and work . For example, Wang et al have shown that psychoticism, extroversion, and neuroticism were correlated with cancer‐related fatigue in breast cancer patients after chemotherapy . Given the deleterious effect of this symptom, it is possible that personality would be associated with cancer survivors' RTW.…”

Previous studies have also shown that conscientiousness and neuroticism were associated with a longer duration of unemployment and non-RTW for healthy individuals.…”
