“…Sin embargo, el impacto del malestar emocional en estos pacientes ha sido subestimado, debido a la importancia de su patología somática y a la falta de recursos terapéuticos adecuados. El grado de incertidumbre provocado por la enfermedad, la preocupación por la muerte, las complicaciones físicas, el dolor, el cambio en la imagen corporal, etc, son estresores que pueden contribuir al desarrollo de dicho malestar (4) . Por ello, supone un gran reto el detectar este problema y tratarlo, especialmente cuando diferentes autores plantean que está infradiagnosticado e infratratado (5,6) .…”

Objective: Cancer is a strong psychological stressor, generating emotional distress among patients. Rumination is an information processing mode that increases the vulnerability to such distress. However, rumination has not been appropriately studied in cancer patients. This research examines the relationship between rumination and anxiety/depression symptoms among recently diagnosed cancer patients.Method: A sample of 71 recently diagnosed cancer patients was assessed through the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Ruminative Responses Scale, the MOS Social Support Survey and a clinical interview. Correlations between ruminations (and its subscales of brooding and reflection), social support, clinical and socio-demographic variables and emotional distress (both anxiety and depression) were analyzed. Multiple regression models were performed, in order to determine the specific contribution of each variable in the explanatory model.Results: Anxiety symptoms correlated with ruminations, social support, sex and age. Depression symptoms correlated with ruminations and social support. Multivariate models show that anxiety symptoms were associated with both rumination subscales and sex. Depression symptoms were associated with the brooding subscale. ResumenObjetivo: El cáncer actúa como un potente estresor psicológico, generando malestar emocional en los pacientes. Los modos de procesamiento de la información basados en rumiaciones constituyen un importante factor de vulnerabilidad para la aparición de dicho malestar. Sin embargo, las rumiaciones no han sido convenientemente estudiadas en pacientes con cáncer. El presente estudio analiza la relación existente entre rumiaciones y los sín-tomas ansiosos y depresivos en pacientes recién diagnosticados de cáncer.Método: Se evaluó una muestra de 71 pacientes oncológicos recién diagnosticados mediante la Escala de Ansiedad y Depresión Hospitalaria, la Escala de Respuestas Rumiativas, la Escala MOS de Apoyo Social y una entrevista clínica. Se analizaron las correlaciones entre rumiaciones, apoyo social, variables sociodemográficas y clínicas, y malestar emocional (tanto ansiedad como depresión). Se realizó un análisis de regresión múltiple con el fin de determinar las contribuciones específicas de cada variable en el modelo explicativo.Resultados: La sintomatología ansiosa correlacionó con rumiaciones, apoyo social, sexo y edad. La sintomatología depresiva correlacionó con rumiaciones y apoyo social. En el análisis multivariado la sintomatología ansiosa se asoció con las dos subescalas de rumiacio-

“…Fatigue is the most widely reported and often highly distressing symptom, affecting between one-quarter and one-third of breast cancer survivors up to 10 years after completion of treatment (Bower, 2008). Other common late effects include sleep disturbance, feelings of anxiety and depression, cognitive limitations, pain, and sexual dysfunction (Harrington, Hansen, Moskowitz, Todd, & Feuerstein, 2010;Shi, et al, 2011). These symptoms have been related to work limitations in many types of workers with and without chronic illness.…”

“…The differences in symptom level between the high symptom and low symptom group were all medium-to-large effect sizes. The study found that fatigue, pain, and depression had the greatest impact on health-related quality of life (Shi, et al, 2011). Trask & Griffith (2004) assessed 351 patients at a melanoma clinic at baseline and administered follow-up assessments at 2 months, 5 months, and 9 months.…”

“…Although grouping individuals based on their pattern of symptoms is a less common approach, it has been used in a small number of studies (Dodd, et al, 2010;Miaskowski, et al, 2006;Shi, et al, 2011;Trask & Griffith, 2004). Using a large sample of 4,512 heterogeneous cancer survivors one year after diagnosis, generated from cancer registries in 11 states, Shi and colleagues (2011) performed a cluster analysis to differentiate between groups with high and low symptom burden.…”

Symptom Clusters and Work Limitations in Employed Breast Cancer Survivors

Background: Symptoms can impair work outcomes in cancer survivors. There is research that symptoms occur in clusters in cancer patients; however, symptom clusters and work productivity have not been studied in cancer survivors years after cancer treatment. This study identified symptom clusters in employed breast cancer survivors (BCS) and explored whether clusters were related to work limitations. Methods:Hierarchical cluster analysis grouped BCS and a comparison sample using levels of fatigue, cognitive limitations, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. The groups were compared with work limitations as the dependent variable using one-way ANOVA.Results: A two cluster solution appeared in the BCS and comparison groups. In each sample, one cluster had higher levels of symptoms and greater work limitations compared to the other cluster. Conclusion: BCS, as well as a comparison group, report symptoms that cluster at two levels of severity. Those with high severity symptoms report lower work output.

“…Organizations reported a large amount of work on identifying factors associated with the health concerns of cancer survivors and identifying programs and services that best serve the needs of cancer survivors. For example, a population-based study examined the health behaviors and quality of life of adult cancer survivors [22][23][24][25]. Another study investigated the use of complementary and alternative medicine among prostate cancer patients [26].…”

Assessment of the status of A National Action Plan for Cancer Survivorship in the USA

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose-There are currently more than 12 million cancer survivors in the USA. Survivors face many issues related to cancer and treatment that are outside the purview of the clinical care system. Therefore, understanding and providing for the evolving needs of cancer survivors offers challenges and opportunities for the public health system. In 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Lance Armstrong Foundation, now the Livestrong Foundation, partnered with national cancer survivorship organizations to develop the National Action Plan for Cancer Survivorship (NAPCS). This plan outlines public health strategies to address the needs of cancer survivors. To date, no assessment of NAPCS strategies and their alignment with domestic cancer survivorship activities has been conducted.Methods-The activities of five national organizations with organized public health agendas about cancer survivorship were assessed qualitatively during [2003][2004][2005][2006][2007]. Using the NAPCS as an organizing framework, interviews were conducted with key informants from all participating organizations. Interview responses were supplemented with relevant materials from informants and reviews of the organizations' websites.Results-Strategies associated with surveillance and applied research; communication, education, and training; and programs, policy, and infrastructure represent a large amount of the organizational efforts. However, there are gaps in research on preventive interventions, evaluation of implemented activities, and translation.Conclusions-Numerous NAPCS strategies have been implemented. Future efforts of national cancer survivorship organizations should include rigorous evaluation of implemented activities, increased translation of research to practice, and assessment of dissemination efforts.Implications for Cancer Survivors-The results of this descriptive assessment provide cancer survivors, cancer survivorship organizations, researchers, providers, and policy makers with initial information about cancer survivorship public health efforts in the USA. Additionally, results suggest areas in need of further attention and next steps in advancing the national cancer survivorship public health agenda.
