Depressive symptoms and shorter survival in lung cancer
Objective To examine the association between depressive symptoms, leukocyte telomere length–a marker of cellular ageing, and survival amongst lung cancer patients.Design Patients with non-small cell lung cancer were recruited from a university-affiliated cancer center clinic.Main Outcome Patients (N = 67) reported on depressive symptoms and provided a blood sample for leukocyte telomere length assessment at baseline and at a 3-month follow-up. Su…
Depressive symptoms among patients with lung cancer
The link between smoking and lung cancer predisposes patients to feeling shame and guilt, which increases risk for depression. To test the hypothesis shame would have a stronger association with depressive symptoms than guilt, a hierarchical regression was conducted. Three regressions were run to examine the associations of self-compassion with shame, guilt, and depressive symptoms. The best model to explain depressive symptoms included shame, bu…
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…
The role of dispositional mindfulness in a stress-health pathway among Parkinson’s disease patients and caregiving partners
Distress and quality of life in an ethnically diverse sample awaiting breast cancer surgery
Poor breast cancer-related quality of life is associated with flattened cortisol rhythms and inflammation in breast cancer survivors and women with advanced disease. We explored the associations of cancer-specific distress (Impact of Events Scale), mood (Profile of Mood States), activity/sleep (wake after sleep onset, 24-hour autocorrelation coefficient) and cortisol (diurnal slope) circadian rhythms, and inflammation (interleukin-6) with quality…
