Psychoeducation for breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Psychoeducation has emerged as an intervention for women with breast cancer (BC). This meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of psychoeducation on adherence to diagnostic procedures and medical treatment, anxiety, depression, quality of life (QoL), and BC knowledge among patients with BC symptoms or diagnosis and BC survivors.

Methods: A systematic literature search (in PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO and Cochrane) for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effects of psychoeducation to control among patients with BC symptoms or diagnosis and BC survivors.

A self-help intervention for reducing time to diagnosis in Indonesian women with breast cancer symptoms.

Objective: We investigated the effectiveness of a self-help intervention named PERANTARA, which aims to improve adherence to diagnostic procedures among women with breast cancer (BC) symptoms to reduce the time to a definitive diagnosis.

Methods: With a cluster randomized crossover design across four hospitals, PERANTARA and treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU only was provided at successive periods in a randomly determined order. The main outcome was the time between the first medical consultation and the definitive diagnosis.

Benchmark dataset of the effect of grain size on strength in the single-phase FCC CrCoNi medium entropy alloy.

This data article presents the microstructural data as well as the mechanical properties of the CrCoNi medium-entropy alloy (MEA). The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Analysis of strengthening due to grain boundaries and annealing twin boundaries in the CrCoNi medium-entropy alloy", see Ref. Schneider et al.

A Self-Help Guided Psychoeducational Intervention for Indonesian Women with Breast Cancer Symptoms: Development and Pilot Feasibility Study.

Background: Delay in the diagnosis of breast cancer (BC) may lead to an advanced stage of the disease and a poor prognosis. A psychoeducational intervention can be crucial in helping women with BC symptoms complete the examination procedures and reduce diagnosis delay of BC. Objective: To develop a psychoeducational intervention to reduce the delay of BC diagnosis among Indonesian women with BC symptoms.

Test-Retest Reliability of EQ-5D-5L Valuation Techniques: The Composite Time Trade-Off and Discrete Choice Experiments.

Objectives: To explore the test-retest reliability of the composite time trade-off (C-TTO) and discrete choice experiment (DCE) used in the Indonesian five-level EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) valuation study.

Methods: A representative sample aged 17 years and older was recruited from the Indonesian general population by stratified quota sampling with respect to residence, sex, and age. Trained interviewers conducted computer-assisted face-to-face interviews using the EuroQol valuation technology.
