Caring for Grieving Family Members
BACKGROUND: A founding principle of hospice is that the patient and family is the unit of care; however, we lack national information on services to family members.

Factors Related to Depressive Symptoms Among Long-Term Survivors of Cervical Cancer
In this article we describe depressive symptoms among survivors of cervical cancer. Study participants were previously diagnosed and treated with cervical cancer 5 to 25 years prior to the completion of a telephone survey. Through a population-based survey of women identified via a state tumor registry in southern New England, the investigators learned that depressive symptoms are prevalent among a subgroup of long-term survivors long after diagn…

Social factors, treatment, and survival in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the importance of socioeconomic status, race, and likelihood of receiving surgery in explaining mortality among patients with stage-I non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS: Analyses focused on Black and White individuals 75 years of age and younger (n = 5189) diagnosed between 1980 and 1982 with stage-I non-small cell lung cancer in Detroit, San Francisco, and Seattle. The main outcome measure was months of survival …

The effects of life-threatening illness on 56 lung cancer and 65 heart attack patients at one and two months postdiagnosis were assessed with objective self-report inventories measuring symptom distress, social dependency, concerns, mood, personality, and evaluation of problem management. Lung cancer patients had more symptom distress and concerns, and evaluated themselves more harshly, than heart attack patients. Although symptom distress remain…
