Fear of Recurrence in Chinese Cancer Patients
Background Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is a significant issue for most cancer patients. Until now, a detailed investigation of the structure of FCR and the interaction among its constituent elements is lacking. This study aims to investigate the phenomenon of FCR by means of network analysis in Chinese cancer patients. Methods This is a multi-center, cross-sectional study that included 996 cancer patients from southern China. All participants…
Psychometric Properties of the Hebrew Modified Dental Anxiety Scale in Adult Israeli Population
Dental anxiety results in the neglect of oral hygiene and poor oral health, requiring an accurate screening tool for dental practitioners to evaluate dental anxiety. The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) is frequently used cross-culturally. The present study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Hebrew version of the MDSA. A total of 553 (mean age 35.87 years, SD = 13.14) Israeli participants were recruited through means of socia…
Communicating With Parents and Preschool Children
The aim of this study was to explore communication interactions and identify phases adopted by dental professionals with parents and their young children and to examine the hypothesis that successful social talking between the actors together with the containment of worries allows the formation of a triadic treatment alliance, which leads to achieving preventive dental treatment goals. Conversation analysis of the transcribed data from video reco…
Communication strategies to encourage child participation in an oral health promotion session
BACKGROUND: The oral health promotion sessions for young children and parents in a clinical setting pose challenges to the dental team. AIM: To apply PaeD-TrICS (Paediatric dental triadic interaction coding scheme) to investigate the interaction of child, parent and dental nurse and determine the effect of nurse and parental behaviours on child participation within an oral health promotion session. METHOD: A video observational study was applied.…
Why do women not return family history forms when referred to breast cancer genetics services? A mixed‐method study
BACKGROUND: Personal and family data forms, completed by women referred to breast cancer genetics clinics, are valuable tools for verification and extension of family history, crucial steps in accurate risk evaluation. A significant minority of women do not complete and return these forms, despite reminders, even when completion is a pre-requisite for a clinic appointment. OBJECTIVE: To facilitate access of women at increased familial risk of bre…

Developing a longitudinal database of routinely recorded primary care consultations linked to service use and outcome data
Primary Care Consultations About Medically Unexplained Symptoms
OBJECTIVE: In primary care, many consultations about physical symptoms that the doctor thinks are not explained by physical disease nevertheless lead to somatic interventions. Our objective was to test the predictions that somatic intervention becomes more likely a) when doctors provide simple reassurance rather than detailed symptom explanations and do not help patients discuss psychosocial problems and b) when patients try to engage doctors by …
Why Do Primary Care Physicians Propose Medical Care to Patients With Medically Unexplained Symptoms? A New Method of Sequence Analysis to Test Theories of Patient Pressure
OBJECTIVE: We test predictions from contrasting theories that primary care physicians offer medical care to patients with medically unexplained symptoms in response to a) patients' attribution of symptoms to disease and demand for treatment or b) their progressive elaboration of their symptoms in the attempt to engage their physicians. METHODS: Primary care physicians identified consecutive patients who consulted with symptoms that the physician …
The somatising effect of clinical consultation
A meta-analytic investigation of the relationship between the psychological distress of cancer patients and their carers
Preliminary Validation and Reliability of the Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale
An 8-question Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale was developed to assess children's concerns about specific dental procedures. These dental situations include examination, scale and polish, injection, filling, extraction, and relative and general anaesthesia. A question about how the child felt generally when visiting the dentist was also included. Children (n = 314) from two schools in Liverpool, ages 8 to 15 years, completed a questionnaire in…
