“…The two groups were not significantly different in optimism (F (1,193) = 3.01, P > 0.05) and resilience (F (1,193) = 0.97, P ≤ 0.05). The findings of the current study were consistent with those of Ho et al, and Coyne et al, [5,23].…”

Introduction: The growing trend of cancer incidence in the past few decades and its effects on physical, psychological, spiritual, and social dimensions both in patients and their families make cancer one of the major health hazards of the century. Of all cancers, breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent among females. Thus, the current study aimed at comparing three components of BC between females with breast cancer and healthy ones: coping styles, psychological capital, and patience. Methods: Totally, 100 females with BC and 100 healthy ones were selected from the available sample based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data were compared in accordance with coping styles, psychological capital, and patience by multivariable analysis and independent t-test. Results:The results revealed that there were significant differences between females with BC and healthy ones in emotion-based coping strategy (F (1,198) =5.20, P ≤ 0.05), self-efficacy subscale (F (1,193) = 5.58, P ≤ 0.01), hopefulness (F (1,193) = 4.50, P ≤ 0.05), and patience (t = 1.99, df = 198, P ≤ 0.05). Subjects with BC, compared to the healthy ones, use the emotion-based coping strategy more often and are more patient. Healthy females had a greater share of self-efficacy and hopefulness. Conclusions: An appropriate coping style, taking advantage of patience as a religious coping style, and a high degree of psychological capital can aid patients make better recoveries. These components have major roles in cancer control.

“…Optimism (Bostock et al, 2009;Ho et al, 2010), hope (Ai, Cascio, Santangelo & Evans-Campbell, 2005;Ho et al, 2010), spirituality or certain religious beliefs (Ai et al, 2005;Cadell, Regehr & Hemsworth, 2003;Thombre, Sherman & Simonton, 2010), extraversion (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996), as well as a problem-focused coping (Bussell & Naus, 2010;Dirik & Karanci, 2008), are some features that most commonly have been associated to a high likelihood of PTG. It is generally assumed that most of the empirical evidence on the existence of PTG has been based from single-case studies with exceptionally mentally-strong or extraordinary people (Masten, 2001).…”

Título: Explicando la resiliencia: una revisión desde la psico-oncología pediátrica y una propuesta de modelo para su estudio. Resumen: En el presente artículo se pretende hacer una revisión del concepto de resiliencia desde el ámbito de la psico-oncología pediátrica. Se analizará su origen, sus distintas definiciones y adecuación de la misma aplicada al ámbito de las enfermedades físicas graves como el cáncer. También se tratará de diferenciar la resiliencia de otros conceptos como el crecimiento postraumático o los beneficios percibidos, comúnmente asociados o confundidos con ésta. Por último, se plantea una propuesta de modelo integrador de resiliencia en cáncer infanto-juvenil. Palabras clave: resiliencia; cáncer infanto-juvenil; psico-oncología; crecimiento postraumático; beneficios percibidos.Abstract: This article is intended to review the concept of resilience from the scope of paediatric psycho-oncology. The origin, its different definitions and its suitability of application in the field of serious physical illness -such as cancer -will be analyzed. Furthermore, the differences between resilience and other concepts commonly associated or confused with it, such as post-traumatic growth or benefit finding, will be discussed. Finally, a proposal for a comprehensive model of resilience in paediatric cancer will be put forward.

“…O impacto positivo do otimismo em comportamentos relacionados à saúde tem sido relatado na literatura, sobretudo quando se trata da aceitação ou recuperação frente a doenças (GRUBER-BALDINI et al, 2009;HO et al, 2011;KRONSTRÖM et al, 2011). A possível explicação é a de que pessoas otimistas enfrentam de forma mais eficaz os fatores estressantes da vida (SNYDER; LOPEZ, 2009).…”
