Impact of coping strategies on perceived stress, depression, and cortisol profiles among gynecologic cancer patients
We explored associations between problem-focused, emotional processing, and emotional expression coping strategies and markers of stress including perceived stress, depressive symptoms, and diurnal cortisol profiles among women with gynecologic cancer. Problem-focused coping was associated with less perceived stress, fewer depressive symptoms, and more rhythmic diurnal salivary cortisol profiles. Emotional processing was associated with lower per…

Depression May Mediate the Relationship between Sense of Coherence and Quality of Life in Lung Cancer Patients
Lung cancer patients generally experience high levels of physical and psychological distress and decreased quality of life (QOL). Sense of coherence (SOC) has been conceptualized as a personality orientation reflecting the degree to which an individual perceives their world as comprehensible, manageable and meaningful. The present study investigated the associations of SOC with QOL in lung cancer. It also examined potential psychological mediator…

A history of traumatic experiences has been associated with poor physical health. This study examined associations between trauma and physical health, as well as changes in physical health over time, in women with co‐occurring disorders and histories of violence who received either integrated trauma‐informed services or usual care. Results revealed that women who had experienced more severe trauma also suffered worse physical health and were more…
