“…Se evidencia además que la función social juega un rol signifi cativo para los pacientes de EPOC en los momentos de hospitalización para poder tener un mejor control en su tratamiento. A nivel general en este estudio se puede decir que la resiliencia está amortiguando los efectos negativos de la enfermedad a nivel de la salud mental de la calidad de vida lo que es afín con la literatura (Brix, Schleußner, Füller, Röhrig & Strauß, 2009;Brix, Schleußner, Füller, Röhrig, Wendt, & Strauß, 2008;Friborg et al, 2006;Strauss et al, 2007;Zautra et al, 2005).…”

ResumenEl objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar las relaciones entre resiliencia, percepción de enfermedad, creencias y afrontamiento espiritual-religioso sobre la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en 40 pacientes con diagnóstico de enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia. Instrumentos: escala de resiliencia RS, escala de resiliencia breve CD-RISC2, cuestionario breve de percepción de enfermedad IPQ-B, inventario de sistema de creencias SBI-15R, escala estrategias de afrontamiento espirituales SCS y cuestionario de salud MOS SF-36. A nivel de resultados hubo correlaciones positivas entre resiliencia y salud mental, y en el análisis de regresión lineal el control personal y las consecuencias de percepción de enfermedad tuvieron un peso signifi cativo sobre el índice sumario mental de calidad de vida. En conclusión, la salud mental en crisis agudas se ve alterada por la preocupación en las consecuencias físicas, sociales, económicas y emocionales que acarrea la enfermedad, y el control personal y la resiliencia son variables que promueven la regulación emocional en pacientes con EPOC.Palabras clave: Resiliencia, percepción de enfermedad, espiritualidad, calidad de vida, EPOC.

“…[13] Culture influences everyday social life as well as how people and their family and significant others respond to cancer diagnoses and treatment. [14] For example, family members have become aware that satisfying social needs through psychosocial support during cancer treatments might not only impact the course and success of treatment, but also may be beneficial in ameliorating the short and long-term side effects, such as fatigue. [15,16] It has been proposed that meeting patients' needs during cancer treatments helps patients in coping with the disease and is an important part of any comprehensive oncological care.…”

Background: Puerto Ricans are among the largest Hispanic groups in the US. Clinicians/researchers must become skilled in assessing the prevalence of the perceived unmet needs of Puerto Rican cancer patients undergoing treatment to properly respond to their needs, and is an important part of any culturally comprehensive oncological care. Objective: To assess Puerto Rican cancer survivors reports of perceived unmet needs across 5 domains of the cancer experience: "psychological", "health system and information", "physical and daily living", "patient care and support", and "sexuality" and to examine how the perceived unmet needs and disease characteristics are inter-related. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from 103 patients (64.1% female, male 35.9%, mean age 54 years) undergoing cancer treatments. The study participants were >20 years of age with breast (28%), gynecologic (21%), prostate (17%) and gastrointestinal (14%) cancer, mostly on chemotherapy. Overall internal consistency of the Supportive Care Needs Survey was 0.882. Results: Patients perceived needs were highest in the domains of sexuality (67%), physical and daily living (55.3%), and psychological (38.8%). Breast cancer was significantly related to reporting unmet needs in the domains of health services/information (p = .018) and sexuality (p = .009). Prostate cancer showed a significant relationship with unmet needs in the domains of psychological (p = .050) and, the physical/daily living (p < .001). Receiving chemotherapy was related with unmet needs in the domains of sexuality (p = .02), and the physical/daily living (p = .047); and, receiving combination of radiation and hormonal therapy was related to unmet needs in the physical/daily living needs domain (p = .024). Conclusions: The accurate assessment of supportive care needs is important in the management of cancer patients. The unmet supportive care needs of our sample of Puerto Rican cancer patients seem to be affected by cancer site and treatment modality.

“…No entanto os dados desta investigação apontam para o impacto positivo da IGSCC sobre padrões de regulação emocional (ansiedade, depressão e stress) e sobre a resiliência global bem como seus constituintes como perseverança, serenidade, sentido de vida e autossuficiência/autoconfiança. Os dados obtidos vão de encontro à literatura da especialidade (Antoni et al, 2009;Brix et al, 2008;Brix et al, 2009;Von Ah et al, 2008;De Vries et al, 2009 após a IGSCC a ansiedade, a depressão e o stress diminuíram significativamente (com aumento da resiliência) e no GC subiram após o tratamento convencional por radioterapia (com descida da resiliência). Confirma-se que pacientes em estado de fadiga oncológica a iniciar radioterapia convencional, sem qualquer tipo de apoio psicossocial e numa base puramente bio-médica, tendencialmente, sofrerão um agravamento do quadro psicopatológico com perda de resistência perante a adversidade, enquanto pacientes em estado de fadiga oncológica sujeitos a IGSCC, tendencialmente, desenvolverão estratégias de coping adaptativo perante a situação crítica doença/tratamentos (Antoni et al, 2009;Brix et al, 2008;Brix et al, 2009;Von Ah et al, 2008;De Vries et al, 2009).…”

“…em gestão do stress com orientação cognitivo-comportamental (IGSCC) diminui a fadiga durante e após a radioterapia e permite a reestruturação da vivência crise (Leventhal et al, 1997) promovendo a adaptação psicossocial, através da mobilização de competências de coping e tarefas adaptativas, após a avaliação (cognitiva, emocional e social) da situação doença/tratamento (Antoni et al, 2009;Brix et al, 2008;Matthews & Cook, 2009;Mustian et al, 2007;Von Ah et al, 2008). Em Portugal não existe investigação na área e internacionalmente os dados são controversos (Goedendorp et al, 2009) salientando-se a necessidade de continuar a investigar o impacto da gestão do stress sobre a vivência psicossocial em doentes, sujeitos a radioterapia e em situação de fadiga oncológica (Von Ah et al, 2008) pois aponta-se a inexistência de sólidas evidências que efetivem a eficácia deste tipo de intervenção.…”

ResumoObjetivo: Este trabalho apresenta os resultados preliminares da avaliação do impacto de uma intervenção em gestão do stress cognitivo-comportamental (IGSCC) sobre padrões de regulação emocional (ansiedade, depressão e stress) e resiliência em pacientes com fadiga oncológica e em radioterapia. Método: Comparam-se os resultados entre um grupo de controlo (20 participantes submetidos ao tratamento convencional de radioterapia sem IGSCC) e um grupo experimental (20 participantes submetidos ao tratamento de radioterapia convencional e com IGSCC) em dois momentos: no início e no fim da radioterapia. Recorreu-se a um questionário demográfico, à Escala de Ansiedade, Depressão e Stress, à Escala de Resiliência e ao Termómetro da Emoção. Resultados: No grupo experimental, após IGSCC, assistiu-se à descida significativa da ansiedade, da depressão e do stress, (p ˂ .005), bem como à subida significativa da resiliência global (p ˂ .005) e seus constituintes. Tal não aconteceu no grupo de controlo. Conclusão: Os resultados apontam para diferenças significativas entre ambos os grupos e ambos os momentos nas variáveis em estudo, salientando a eficácia da IGSCC.Palavras-chave: fadiga-oncológica, cognitivo-comportamental, ansiedade, depressão, stress, resiliência AbstractAim: We present the preliminary results of the assessment of the impact of cognitive-behavioral intervention on stress management (CBISM) on patterns of emotional regulation (anxiety, depression and stress) and resilience in patients with cancer fatigue and in radiotherapy. Method: We compare the results between the control group (20 participants subject to the conventional treatment of radiotherapy without CBISM) and the experimental group (20 participants subjected to the treatment of conventional radiotherapy with CBISM) in 2 times: at the beginning and end of radiotherapy. We used: a Demographic Questionnaire, a Scale of Anxiety, Depression and Stress, a Scale of Resilience as well as the Emotion Thermometers. Results: There is a significant fall of anxiety, depression and stress, (p ˂ .005) in the experimental group (not in the control group), as well as the significant rise of global resilience (p ˂ .005) and its constituents. Conclusion: The results indicate significant differences between both groups and both times, stressing the effectiveness of CBISM.
