Kom op tegen Kanker biedt al lang financiële steun aan organisaties en sociale ondernemingen die psychosociale ondersteuning geven aan kankerpatiënten en hun naasten.
We compared social support with other potential psychosocial predictors of posttraumatic stress after cancer. These included family identification, or a sense of belonging to and commonality with family members, and family constraints, or the extent to which family members are closed, judgmental, or unreceptive in conversations about cancer. We also tested the hypothesis that family constraints mediate the relationship between family identification and cancer-related posttraumatic stress.
Background: A child’s cancer can lead to changes in parental role functioning, including loss of control. We studied the extent to which parental perceived loss of control during a child’s cancer treatment predicted posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) after completion of treatment.
Kom op tegen Kanker lanceert een projectoproep voor initiatieven die de toegankelijkheid van de kankerzorg en de kankerpreventie voor migranten en etnische minderheden verbeteren.
Objective: Psychosocial distress is under-recognized in children with cancer and other serious medical illnesses because of a focus on pressing medical concerns. Aims: This study assessed the validity, inter-rater reliability, sensitivity/specificity, acceptability, and feasibility of administration of a pediatric distress thermometer (DT) designed to screen for the presence of psychosocial distress in youth with serious medical illnesses.
Objective: This study aims to identify patients with oesophageal cancer’s level of distress, type of problems, and wish for referral prior to treatment. To identify the clinical relevance of patients with oesophageal cancer’s level of distress and type of problems, we build models to predict elevated distress, wish for referral, and overall survival.
