Filter by:The purpose of this this study, to evaluate the quality of sexual life of patients treated for anal cancer treated by radiotherapy, during their treatment, then 3 months after treatment and, finally, 2 years after treatment. cancer diagnosis.
Rationale: A growing number of cervical cancer patients live years beyond their cancer diagnosis and ultimately survive their disease. Cervical cancer patients report higher levels of psychological distress compared to other (gynecological) cancer types, resulting in physical and psychosocial limitations. The mechanisms explaining why some patients do, and others do not experience persistent psychological distress after cervical cancer remain unclear. Objective: Gain insight into the mechanisms explaining psychological distress (i.e. anxiety, depression, cancer worry, perceived stress) in a prospective population-based sample of cervical cancer patients. Factors to be studied include characteristics of the individual (demographical and clinical, including comorbidities), characteristics of the environment ((sexual) relationships), biological function (cortisol, melatonin and sex hormone production assessed in scalp hair, inflammation and telomere length assessed in blood, overall quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30), symptoms (EORTC QLQ-CX24), functional status (physical activity and sleep measured using the Actigraph activity tracker, and food intake measured using the online 'Eetmeter'), and general health perceptions (B-IPQ). The second aim is to assess the impact of cervical cancer on partners' distress (cancer worry, illness perceptions, relationship quality, dyadic coping).
A randomized controlled trial is needed to strengthen the evidence in the area of web-based self-management programs for stress-reduction. Aim The aim for the study is to compare the effects of the web-application that supports behavior change in stress-management to a waiting list group in persons with perceived stress. Method This study will have the design of a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The CONSORT guidelines will be used for reporting the study. Sample: Different sectors in the region will be included. Three different high-schools in Västerås City, social services authority in Västerås municipality, a large private company in the region, three different clinics within the county council and the municipality of Köping have signed the attestation of participation. Intervention: The intervention is the program for web-based stress self-management My Stress Control. Procedure: After informed consent the participants will, during approximately 2-4 months by their own go through the web-based program for stress self-management. The waiting-list group will also get access to My Stress Control after post-measurements. Data-analysis: Descriptive statistics will be used for demographic data. Missing data will be replaced as recommended for the different measurements included, commonly by using the mean for responded items within the sub scale. Inferential analyses will be conducted by using multivariate statistical analysis. Drop-out analysis will be conducted by comparing pre-interventions measures for those who completed the program with those who did not.
Vulnerability to psychologic distress induced by in situ simulation. Objectives: Psychological evaluation at short and long term on working satisfaction, mental health, and acute stress after in situ simulation. Analysis of the stress vulnerability induced by simulation. Design: non interventional study. Primary outcome: Psychologic distress analysis with validated psychologic distress inventory (Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), General Health Quality (GHQ), Impact of Event Scale Revisited (IESR), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-A (STAI-A), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory -B (STAI-B)).
