“…Results indicate a modest to high use of CAM in this sample, with about one-third reporting use of CAM activities such as yoga, meditation, massage, or herbal/dietary supplements. The majority of Latina breast cancer survivors endorsed use of devotional and spiritual practices; this high rate of devotional and spiritual practices among Latino cancer survivors is similar to high rates reported in prior research [20,38,39,40]. Recent systematic and meta-analytic reviews highlight the contributions of spiritual and religious practices to well-being among cancer survivors, with particular emphasis on finding meaning/peace and ability to make sense of illness (e.g., sense of coherence) [41,42].…”

Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use and Latina Breast Cancer Survivors’ Symptoms and Functioning

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is used widely in cancer populations, particularly among women, and has shown promise for addressing symptom and functioning outcomes. Few studies to date have evaluated CAM use and associations over time with symptoms and function among Latina breast cancer survivors. We administered a baseline (N = 136) and follow-up (n = 58) telephone survey in Spanish or English assessing Latina breast cancer survivor demographics, physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, satisfaction with social roles, and both CAM activities and devotional and spiritual practices. About one-third of our sample (35% baseline; 36% follow-up) reported using CAM (yoga, meditation, massage, or herbal/dietary supplements). We assessed devotional and spiritual practices separately from CAM (church attendance, prayer, religious groups, and reading devotional and religious texts); the majority of Latina survivors reported devotional and spiritual practices (80% baseline; 81% follow-up). At baseline, CAM demonstrated a positive association with better physical functioning and lower depression. In contrast, CAM use at the time of follow-up appeared to be related to lower levels of satisfaction with social roles and physical function. In longitudinal analyses, devotional and spiritual practices at baseline significantly predicted lower anxiety, depression, and fatigue at follow-up. Findings suggest CAM plays a complex and not always linear role in symptoms and function outcomes for Latina breast cancer survivors. These findings contribute to the literature on longitudinal CAM use and associations with symptom and functioning outcomes among Latina breast cancer survivors.

“…In 171 participants assessed 3 years or more after allogeneic HSCT, meaning (b = 1.323, P < .01) and peace (b = 1.951, P < .001) but not faith were independently associated with greater HRQoL, controlling for employment and performance status [35]. Additionally, in 220 recipients of HCT, meaning/ peace as components of spiritual well-being was found to be associated with less depression (ᴢ = À8.88, P < .001), anxiety (ᴢ = À4.12, P < .001), pain (ᴢ = À2.57, P < .001), and fatigue (ᴢ = À5.22, P < .001) as well as greater physical (ᴢ = 5.25, P < .001) and functional well-being (ᴢ = 8.43, P < .001) [36].…”

A B S T R A C T Positive psychological constructs (eg, optimism, positive affect) have been independently associated with superior health outcomes across many medical populations. However, there has been little synthesis of the literature examining these associations among patients with hematologic malignancies receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). To address this gap we completed a systematic review, using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, of studies examining relationships between positive psychological constructs and health-related outcomes (eg, psychiatric symptoms, function, health-related quality of life [HRQoL], or treatment compliance) after HSCT. Eighteen eligible studies (N = 4201; 47% women; mean age, 47.1) were identified. Optimism (n = 12 studies) was the most frequently studied positive construct and HRQoL (examined in n = 11 studies) the most common outcome. All 17 studies with quantitative analyses found a significant (P < .05) association between a positive psychological construct and a health outcome; most but not all controlled for 1 or more relevant covariates. Among patients with hematologic malignancies who receive HSCT, positive psychological constructs appear to be associated with improved HRQoL and other health outcomes. Further work is warranted to more comprehensively understand the independent effects of positive psychological constructs on a variety of health outcomes and to develop interventions to promote well-being that are adapted to the needs of this population.

“…The transition back to the workplace, school and family roles may be adversely affected by symptom burden and physical limitations associated with persistent and late treatment effects and acute and chronic GVHD. Career goals, life priorities, and spiritual well-being may have been altered, both positively and negatively, by the transplant experience(25–28).…”
