Article Synopsis
- Resilience helps individuals cope with challenges like cancer, but its relationship with distress, depression, and anxiety is not fully understood, especially for caregivers.
- Patients and caregivers in the study reported similar levels of resilience and distress, but patients had higher depression and anxiety.
- The study suggests that resilience is a crucial factor to consider alongside distress, as it may influence the levels of depression and anxiety in individuals dealing with cancer.
Objectives: To study associations among employment, insurance status, and distress in gynecologic oncology patients; and to evaluate the impact of being unemployed or having no/Medicaid insurance on different distress problem areas.
Methods: In this single institution, cross-sectional analysis of gynecologic oncology patients, we screened for distress and problem areas using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network distress thermometer and problem list at outpatient appointments between 6/2017-9/2017. Primary outcome was self-reported high distress (score ≥ 5).
Objective: Although standard of care prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) includes a psychosocial evaluation, little is known about the rate and predictors of psychotherapy utilization among patients presenting for pre-HSCT evaluations. This study aimed to examine the proportion of patients undergoing pre-HSCT evaluations who subsequently utilize psychotherapy services and to explore predictive factors, including distress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life (QoL).
Methods: Participants were a cross-sectional sample of 351 HSCT candidates at an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center.
Introduction Understanding the relationship between brain and complex latent behavioral constructs like cognitive control will require an inordinate amount of data. Internet-based methods can rapidly and efficiently refine behavioral measures in very large samples that are needed for genetics and behavioral research. Cognitive control is a multifactorial latent construct that is considered to be an endophenotype in numerous neuropsychiatric disorders, including attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
