Perceptions of philosophic and practice differences between US osteopathic physicians and their allopathic counterparts
Psychological and sexual well‐being, philosophical/spiritual views, and health habits of long‐term cancer survivors
The results of a survey on various aspects of quality of life for 191 women who were long-term cancer survivors are presented. We explored six areas--somatic concerns, health habits, psychological state, sexual satisfaction, social/emotional support giving, and philosophical/spiritual view--and whether differences existed in them among the women on the basis of age, educational level, income level, length of survival, location of residence (urban…
Relationship of caregiver reactions and depression to cancer patients' symptoms, functional states and depression-A longitudinal view
Family Factors and Knowledge

Two hundred forty-nine women were surveyed with a structured, written questionnaire. The results indicated that these predominantly well-educated and professionally employed …

An exploratory study was designed to (a) establish a baseline measurement of the degree of perceived control in the leisure lives of a sample of non-institutionalized older perso…
