Stress, Coping, and Psychological Well-Being in Asian American Breast Cancer Survivors

Pages : 195
Book Description
Asian American is predicted to be the largest immigrant group by the year 2055. Breast cancer is the primary cancer diagnosis and the second-leading cause of death among Asian-American women. Despite the lengthy presence of Asian immigrants in the US and the recent predictions of increasing breast cancer incidence in this population, the unique cultural needs and psychological responses to cancer survivorship remain relatively unknown. In order to expand the understanding in Asian American breast cancer survivorship, this dissertation applied the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping to examine how stressors experienced by the Asian American breast cancer survivors and their coping use influenced their psychological well-being. Secondary data analysis was conducted on 233 participants (Chinese = 44%, Japanese = 37%, and Vietnamese = 19%) who completed qualitative questionnaires that assessed their physical, emotional, social, and financial stress. Participants also completed standardized measures on their coping strategies used and psychological well-being. The analysis on the relationship between stress and psychological well-being indicated that higher levels of stress (in all four types of stressors) were associated with poor psychological well-being. Moderation of ethnicity on the relationship between stress and psychological well-being was unable to be tested due to low sample size. The analysis of the relationship between coping and psychological well-being revealed ethnic differences in the following coping strategies: expressive suppression, active coping, denial, use of emotional support, use of instrumental support, positive reframing, acceptance, and self-blame. The increased use of all emotion-focused coping strategies of positive valence and problem-focused coping strategies was associated with good psychological well-being (except the relationship between cognitive reappraisal and self-stigma). Furthermore, the increased use of all emotion-focused coping strategies of negative valence was associated with poor psychological well-being. Moderation of ethnicity on the relationship between coping and psychological well-being could not be tested due to low sample size. Mediation of coping on the relationship between stress and psychological well-being could not be tested either, due to low sample size. The findings from this dissertation could advance public health theories and improve doctor-patient communication with Asian American breast cancer survivors.
Psychological Aspects of Cancer
Author: Brian I. CarrPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461448662
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
Psychological Aspects of Cancer: A Guide to Emotional and Psychological Consequences of Cancer, Their Causes and Their Management opens with two essays on the biological basis of emotion/mental-driven body processes and disease. The consequence of such considerations is that since thoughts and emotions can be modulated and changed by health care professionals, psychological counseling should be seen not only as a way to help patients cope, but possibly to influence the disease itself. A unique overview of a key area of cancer care, this important title then proceeds to offer a section on genetic predispositions to cancer and the psychological considerations involved in screening and pre-emptive therapies and decision-making in cancer therapy. A third section deals with the philosophical and religious underpinnings of psychological factors involved in coping with disease state stressors and the roles of hope in coping. The fourth section is an acknowledgement that patients with cancer live in a social context, which often includes a partner and/or caregiver. The fifth section includes several essays on aspects and modalities of care-giving that are designed to help patients coping with their cancer and its aftermath, which increasingly extends for years. An important title covering key aspects of one of the most troubling disorders of our time, Psychological Aspects of Cancer: A Guide to Emotional and Psychological Consequences of Cancer, Their Causes and Their Management will provide the busy practitioner with cutting edge knowledge as well as practical information that can translate into better care for patients with cancer.
