Several psychological factors predict QoL among HNC survivors who have completed treatment. Routine screening and early interventions that target distress could improve HNC survivors' QoL following treatment. Longitudinal and population-based studies incorporating more systematic and standardised measurement approaches are needed to better understand relationships between psychological factors and QoL and to inform the development of intervention and supportive care strategies.Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Background Although colposcopy is the leading follow-up option for women with abnormal cervical cytology, little is known about its psychological consequences. Selection criteria Eligible studies assessed psychological wellbeing at one or more time-points post-colposcopy.Data collection and analysis Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts. Full texts of potentially eligible papers were reviewed. Data were abstracted from, and a quality appraisal performed of, eligible papers.Main results Twenty-three papers reporting 16 studies were eligible. Colposcopy and related procedures can lead to adverse psychological outcomes, particularly anxiety. Ten studies investigated predictors of adverse psychological outcomes; management type and treatment had no impact on this. Seven studies investigated temporal trends in psychological outcomes post-colposcopy; findings were mixed, especially in relation to anxiety and distress. Studies were methodologically heterogeneous.Conclusions Follow-up investigations and procedures for abnormal cervical cytology can cause adverse psychological outcomes among women. However, little is known about the predictors of these outcomes or how long they persist. There is a need for a more standardised approach to the examination of the psychological impact of colposcopy, especially longer-term outcomes.

“…Secondly, qualitative research methods are able to identify relationships to PA that 'emerged from people's lived experience' of SCI (Fekete and Rauch, 2012, p.148). Thirdly, the psychosocial literature on Paralympic athletes including those with SCI has already been subjected to a systematic review (Jefferies et al, 2012), leaving a significant gap in the literature for a synthesis of data on SCI and participation in leisure time physical activity (LTPA). LTPA is defined as an activity people choose to partake in their spare time such as exercising in the gym, playing recreational sport, or general wheeling (Martin Ginis et al, 2010;.…”

Objectives: Physical activity can have a positive impact upon health and well-being for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Despite these benefits, people with SCI are within the most physically inactive segment of society that comprises disabled people. This original metasynthesis of qualitative research was undertaken to explore the barriers, benefits and facilitators of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) among people with SCI. Methods: Articles published since 2000 were identified through a rigorous search of electronic databases, supported with a hand search of relevant journals and papers. In total, 64 papers were read in full, and based on inclusion criteria, 18 were relevant for review. The key themes constructed from the data were summarised, compared and synthesised. Results: Eight inter-related concepts were identified as barriers, benefits and/or facilitators of LTPA: 1) well-being; 2) environment; 3) physical body; 4) body-self relationship; 5) physically active identity; 6) knowledge; 7) restitution narrative; 8) perceived absences. Conclusions: Based on the synthesised evidence, healthcare professionals need to appreciate the relationships between the barriers, benefits and facilitators of LTPA in order to successfully promote a physically active lifestyle. Equally, a more critical attitude to physical activity promotion is called for in terms of possible adverse consequences.
