Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer care today often provides state-of-the-science biomedical treatment, but fails to address the psychological and social (psychosocial) problems associated with the illness. This failure can compromise the effectiveness of health care and thereby adversely affect the health of cancer patients. Psychological and social problems created or exacerbated by cancer-including depression and other emotional problems; lack of information or skills needed to manage the illness; lack of transportation or other resources; and disruptions in work, school, and family life-cause additional suffering, weaken adherence to prescribed treatments, and threaten patients' return to health. Today, it is not possible to deliver high-quality cancer care without using existing approaches, tools, and resources to address patients' psychosocial health needs. All patients with cancer and their families should expect and receive cancer care that ensures the provision of appropriate psychosocial health services. Cancer Care for the Whole Patient recommends actions that oncology providers, health policy makers, educators, health insurers, health planners, researchers and research sponsors, and consumer advocates should undertake to ensure that this standard is met.

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.

Abstract: Patients' perception of being a burden to others, termed self-perceived burden (SPB), is a phenomenon commonly reported by terminally-ill patients. SPB elicits psychological outcomes such as loss of dignity, hopelessness, anxiety, and depression (Wilson et al., 2005). To extend our knowledge on this understudied construct, this project employed a multi-method approach with three studies to examine the experience of SPB among Chinese cancer patients. Study 1 is the first longitudinal investigation on the relationship between SPB and non-terminal cancer patients' trajectories of psychological adjustment. Results from hierarchical linear modeling showed that patients with higher levels of SPB reported higher levels of depression and anxiety, as well as lower levels of mental health over time. Results also revealed that SPB predicted cancer patients' pattern of change in anxiety over time. As the high SPB group had a higher anxiety level at baseline, their anxiety level remained higher than that of the low SPB group despite a sharper decrease. Study 2 is the first quantitative study to scrutinize the psychological process of how cancer patients attempted to cope with SPB. A new Self-perceived Burden Coping Scale was developed. Our findings indicated that the scale displayed good content, construct, and discriminant validities, and most subscales show acceptable reliability. Results from principal components analysis showed that cancer patients adopted six coping modes in an attempt to deal with SPB: (a) positive outlook, (b) managing the needs of others, (c) resigned acceptance, (d) making preparations, (e) entitlement, and (f) concealing need. Specially, the coping modes of resigned acceptance and concealing need were related to poorer adjustment, whereas managing the needs of others and entitlement were related to better adjustment. Stress-buffering effects of managing the needs of others and making preparations were also found. Finally, Study 3 adopted a qualitative paradigm to explore perception as care-receivers, aspects of SPB, and coping with SPB among Chinese non-terminal cancer patients. Narratives from patients revealed four perspectives regarding to their perception as care-receivers: self-reliance, acceptance, overwhelming, and SPB. Results revealed that the SPB experience among Chinese non-terminal cancer patients was similar to those observed in Western terminal cancer patients, with a new aspect of financial burden. In addition to the six coping modes of SPB found in Study 2, a potential new coping mode of being compliant with others was found, which may be unique among Chinese cancer patients in the context of SPB. Findings from these studies may advance our knowledge on SPB, provide insights for future research, as well as shed lights on the development of counseling services, psychological interventions, and public policies for cancer patients.

Download or read book Self perceived Competencies and Adjustment of Children and Adolescents with Cancer written by Amy Friedman-Bender and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The large variability in adjustment of children with cancer indicates the importance of identifying risk and resistance factors that predict individual differences in adaptation to this life threatening disease. The purpose of this study is to investigate the predictive effects of self-perceived competencies as resistance factors for psychological adjustment problems in children and adolescents with cancer. In this study, 270 children and adolescents with cancer between the ages of 8 and 17 were recruited as part of a larger study of quality of life of pediatric cancer patients. Subjects were administered the Children's Depression Inventory and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children to measure negative affectivity. Children's perceptions of their physical appearance, athletic competence, scholastic competence, social acceptance, and self-esteem were assessed with the Harter Self-Perception Profile. Path analysis involving simultaneous multiple regression equations was utilized to test hypothesized paths among age, gender, medical status, competencies, self-esteem, and negative affectivity. Age at diagnosis, time since diagnosis, and whether a child was newly diagnosed, relapsed, in remission, or a long-term survivor were not statistically predictive of competencies, self-esteem, or negative affectivity. The results indicated that age and gender were significantly associated with physical appearance and athletic is competence such that older age and female gender were associated with lower self-perceptions in these areas. Diagnosis was significantly associated with social acceptance and athletic competence, indicating that brain tumor patients had lower self-perceptions than other solid tumor patients. All of the competency areas except athletic competence were significantly associated with self esteem. Lastly, self-esteem, physical appearance and scholastic competence were significantly associated with negative affectivity. As expected, the effects of self-perceptions of competencies on negative affectivity were mediated by self-esteem. No significant nonlinear or interaction effects were found. The results suggest that interventions designed to enhance perceptions of physical appearance, scholastic competence, and social acceptance could help improve self-esteem and reduce symptoms of negative affectivity in children with cancer. Identifying the potentially modifiable risk and resistance factors that predict the individual differences in adaptation among pediatric cancer patients may facilitate the design of enhanced treatment interventions.
