Acceptability of internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy and carer inclusion for breast cancer survivors
Breast cancer survivors often lack post-treatment psychological care options. Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) has proven effective for depression and anxiety among survivors. Involving carers in iCBT can further encourage survivors and enhance the benefits they receive. This study explored survivors' experiences with iCBT and their perspectives on carer involvement. Fifteen participants were interviewed. Data were analysed…
Communicating radon risks
Communication campaigns addressing radon-related health risks have struggled to promote health-protective behaviour effectively. Typically framed as a ‘naturally occurring gas’, this study explores whether this framing might attenuate radon risk perception. It compares the impact of framing radon as an ‘indoor air pollutant’ versus a ‘natural gas’ on risk perceptions and on intentions to protect against radon. It also explores the role of percept…

A psycho-social-environmental lens on radon air pollutant
Introduction: Radon is a major indoor air pollutant that poses a significant risk of lung cancer to those exposed in their homes. While mitigation of high radon levels in homes has been shown to be effective, home mitigation rates remain low. This study examines the barriers and facilitators to radon mitigation in homes from the perspectives of authorities responsible for radon risk management, the mitigation industry (contractors), and residents…
Intercultural insights on the impact of different non-idealized models on men's body image and advertising perceptions
This experiment with 363 Irish and Flemish men aged 19 to 30 years ( M = 23.56, SD = 2.36) investigated exposure to different male model ads (i.e. muscular, slim, plus-size, overall diversity, and no models) on well-being (i.e. body image, low body fat and muscularity attitudes, self-objectification, and self-esteem) and advertising outcomes (i.e. ad attitudes, brand attitudes, and purchase intent). Moderation effects of country and masculinity (…

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy as a clinical intervention with psoriasis patients through the lens of the clinically modified Buddhist psychological model
Coping with a chronic illness such as psoriasis can be very stressful experience for patients. A psoriasis patient’s cognitive appraisal of their condition, definition of adaptive tasks, and selection of coping skills are influenced by the person, by aspects of the transition or crisis, and by their environment. Mindfulness-based interventions are theorised to have the capacity to enhance these factors and the mental health and wellbeing of patie…
Skin cancer preventive behaviours among rural Illam farmers, western Iran
The aim of the present research was to investigate the effect of a health education intervention on promoting skin cancer preventive behaviours (SCPBs) among rural farmers in Illam, Iran during May to July 2017. A sample of 248 participants, where each participant was randomly assigned into either the experimental (n = 124) or control (n = 124) group. The experimental group received eighteducational sessions (lectures, question and answer session…
The Potsdam radon communication manifesto
Risk communication efforts to mitigate the second cause of lung cancer worldwide (after tobacco smoking) – the radioactive gas radon in buildings – are often ineffective. Therefore, new European legal requirements bind member states to prepare communication strategies to ‘... increase public awareness and inform local decision makers, employers and employees of the risks of radon...’ (Council directive 2013/59/EURATOM, ANNEX XVIII/(10)). This man…
Network analysis
Objective: The present paper presents a brief overview on network analysis as a statistical approach for health psychology researchers. Networks comprise graphical representations of the relationships (edges) between variables (nodes). Network analysis provides the capacity to estimate complex patterns of relationships and the network structure can be analysed to reveal core features of the network. This paper provides an overview of networks, ho…
HIV-related stigma and optimism as predictors of anxiety and depression among HIV-positive men who have sex with men in the United Kingdom and Ireland
This study investigated the associations between forms of HIV-related optimism, HIV-related stigma, and anxiety and depression among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United Kingdom and Ireland. HIV health optimism (HHO) and HIV transmission optimism (HTO) were hypothesised to be protective factors for anxiety and depression, while the components of HIV-related stigma (enacted stigma, disclosure concerns, concern with public att…
Mindfulness Training as a Clinical Intervention with Homeless Adults
Serostatus Disclosure, Stigma Resistance, and Identity Management Among HIV-Positive Gay Men in Ireland
In this study, we examined how non-infectiousness due to antiretroviral therapy has affected HIV-positive gay men's experience of serostatus disclosure to casual sex partners. Interviews were conducted with 15 seropositive gay men living in Ireland. Using grounded theory, three constructions of non-disclosure were proposed-as self-protection, as a morally permissible act, and as a rejection of the HIV-positive identity. Each construction entailed…
A qualitative study of the experience of psychological distress post-stroke
There is little qualitative data on the emotional effect of stroke upon which to base hypotheses for psychological interventions. We used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of semi-structured interviews with 10 individuals in the clinical range for psychological distress on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale to explore their experiences of psychological distress. Three super-ordinate themes (the fear of stroke, loss of self and sense…
Clarifying the associations between anxiety, depression and fatigue following stroke
Both psychological distress and fatigue are common post stroke. Although there is recognition that the phenomena are related, the nature of the relationship is unclear.Cross-sectional study of 98 independently functioning participants within 2 years of stroke. Significant relationships were observed between fatigue and general anxiety, health-related anxiety and stroke-specific anxiety ( r range from .31 to .37). In the final regression model, de…
Optimism, community attachment and serostatus disclosure among HIV-positive men who have sex with men
This study investigated the relationship between HIV health optimism (HHO) (the belief that health will remain good after HIV infection due to treatment efficacy), HIV-positive community attachment (HCA), gay community attachment (GCA) and serostatus disclosure to casual sex partners by HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM). Cross-sectional questionnaire data were gathered from 97 HIV-positive MSM attending an HIV treatment clinic in Dubli…
Predictors of fatigue in cancer patients before and after chemotherapy
Fatigue is a debilitating and common condition in cancer patients. This study examined pretreatment predictors of fatigue before chemotherapy and also assessed whether these could prospectively predict fatigue posttreatment. A total of 100 patients completed questionnaires assessing psychological factors, physical activity and sleep. A subsample of 26 participants wore actigraphs to objectively assess sleep/wake and activity/rest. Fatigue was mea…
Approach/avoidance motivation, message framing and skin cancer prevention
The congruency hypothesis posits that approach-orientated individuals are persuaded to engage in prevention behaviours by positively framed messages; conversely, negatively framed messages are more persuasive in encouraging those who are avoidance-orientated. A 2 (frame: loss vs gain) × 2 (motivation: avoidance vs approach) design examined the effects of skin cancer information on sun-protective intentions and free sunscreen sample requests among…
The Relationship Between Internalised HIV-Related Stigma and Posttraumatic Growth
Body Consciousness Moderates the Effect of Message Framing on Intentions to Use Sunscreen
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of messages differing in focus (health vs appearance) and frame (gain vs loss) on intentions for sunscreen use and sunbed use, and the potential moderating role of body consciousness. Questionnaire data from 390 young adults were analysed using factorial ANOVA. Results showed a significant interaction between message frame and body consciousness, such that gain-framed health or appearance …
Assessing Unrealistic Optimism
The effects of measurement method on levels of unrealistic optimism for developing diabetes were examined in 323 UK adults. A mixed factorial design comprised direct and indirect measures of unrealistic optimism as the within-subjects variable, and between-subjects manipulations of the order of direct versus indirect assessment, the order of self-other comparison, the number of response options used and the polarity of the ratings. More unrealist…
Relationship of Initial Level of Distress to Changes in Health-Related Quality of Life During Cardiac Rehabilitation or Usual Care
OBJECTIVES: To assess the relationship between changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and initial levels of distress in cardiac patients who received multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation (CR) or usual care. High rates of psychological distress have been reported in cardiac patients. METHODS: Cardiac patients completed a questionnaire battery at the start and finish of a CR program (n = 131) or at equivalent times after hospital dis…
Personal and Social Comparison Information about Health Risk
This study extended previous research on the impact of personal and social comparison information about health risk by asking respondents what other information they require. A total of 197 students responded to 1 of 12 vignettes describing hypothetical risks of developing pancreatic disease. These vignettes varied in terms of personal risk, comparison group risk and disease severity. Higher threat manipulations elicited higher ratings of negativ…
The Effect Size Statistic
An increasing array of health status instruments provides challenges to the researcher in selecting the most appropriate measure in health outcomes studies. The responsiveness of a measure is its ability to identify small but important changes over time or following interventions. For health outcomes studies, responsiveness is an important psychometric requirement to guide instrument selection and it can be evaluated using the effect size statist…
