Multilevel Factors Influencing Perceived Barriers to Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy Among Breast Cancer Patients at Medication Onset
Purpose: Adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) significantly diminishes recurrence and mortality risks in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer (BCa) patients. Nonetheless, suboptimal adherence and premature discontinuation during the initial year of treatment undermine these positive outcomes. This study aims to understand the potential diverse factors associated with perceived barriers to AET compliance at the onset of medication. Methods: We asse…

Effects of a randomized trial comparing standard and enhanced counseling for men at high risk of prostate cancer as a function of race and monitoring style
Despite conflicting guidelines, a significant subset of high-risk men decide to undergo routine prostate cancer screening. Yet, there is a scarcity of available programs, and no studies evaluating interventions to support men in dealing with the psychosocial impact of screening. In this study, one of the first to explore the responses of high-risk men enrolling in a Prostate Cancer Risk Assessment Program ( N = 128), patients underwent a prostate…
Handbook of cancer control and behavioral science
Handbook of Cancer Control and Behavioral Science is an expert synthesis of what is known, what is suspected, and what is still unknown about core behavioral and sociocultural aspects of cancer control. Editors Suzanne Miller, Deborah Bowen, Robert Croyle, and Julia Rowland present a thought-provoking overview of the key areas of research, from primary prevention, to early cancer detection, to the clinical treatment of cancer, to survivor experie…
Change in Worksite Smoking Behavior Following Cancer Risk Feedback
These findings support a formal evaluation of a worksite smoking intervention using cancer risk feedback
Vygotsky's Educational Theory in Cultural Context
This 2003 book comprehensively covers all major topics of Vygotskian educational theory and its classroom applications. Particular attention is paid to the Vygotskian idea of child development as a consequence rather than premise of learning experiences. Such a reversal allows for new interpretations of the relationships between cognitive development and education at different junctions of the human life span. It also opens new perspectives on at…

Communicating Genetic Test Results to the Family
As the availability of tests to identify hereditary predisposition to chronic diseases continues to grow, a need has arisen to prepare individuals receiving genetic test results to share this highly sophisticated and value-laden information with other at-risk family members. Responding to this need, a communication skills-building intervention, based on Buckman's model of "Breaking Bad News," was developed for use in the setting of genetic testin…

Association Between Subjective Sleep Quality and Depression on Immunocompetence in Low-Income Women at Risk for Cervical Cancer
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether subjective sleep quality is more strongly associated with immunocompetence than depression among women at risk for cervical cancer. METHODS: Participants were 91 women referred for colposcopy because of abnormal results on a Pap smear. On the day of the procedure. participants completed the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, two indices of subjective sleep quality (…
Supporting Possible Worlds
Investigates how a secondary-school teacher uses her “turning-point literacy experience” as a narrative template to guide changes in her teaching of literature. Scaffolds students’ narrative modes of thinking in two contrasting classroom contexts: a twelfth-grade class for “at-risk” students and an eleventh-grade class for college-bound students. Provides narrative strategies at points of need
Caught in the Paradigm Gap
For 8 years at national conferences and from academic listserves, we collected qualitative researchers’ narratives about problems encountered and solutions tried while researching. Using an emergent design and analytic induction, and triangulating across researcher perspectives, we produced three successive descriptive-interpretive frameworks for understanding researchers’ lived experience during the shift from single to multiple research paradig…

Applying cognitive-social theory to health-protective behavior
This article applies recent developments in cognitive-social theory to health-protective behavior, articulating a Cognitive-Social Health Information Processing (C-SHIP) model. This model of the genesis and maintenance of health-protective behavior focuses on the individual's encodings and construals, expectancies, affects, goals and values, self-regulatory competencies, and their interactions with each other and the health-relevant information i…
The empirical status of irrational beliefs in rational emotive therapy
This paper reviews recent studies of rational emotive therapy (RET) to determine whether there is empirical evidence to support the assertion that the reasons for therapeutic gains in RET are via changing irrational to rational beliefs. Before such issues can be examined, problems with the definition and measurement of irrational beliefs are first discussed and the evidence pertaining to the validity of current measures is addressed. Treatment ou…
The Relationship Between Patients?? Satisfaction With Their Physicians and Perceptions About Interventions They Desired and Received
This study was designed to determine the relationship between patients' satisfaction with their physician, the types of interventions that patients reported they received, and the congruence between those interventions and the types of interventions they desired. One hundred eighteen symptomatic adult primary-care patients completed questionnaires before and after their respective medical visits. Patients who indicated they received any one of th…
Styles of coping with threat
We explored individual differences in health-seeking behavior and health status in a primary care population. Specifically, we compared high monitors (those who typically scan for threat-relevant information) with low monitors (those who typically ignore threat-relevant information), while controlling for depression. Overall, high monitors came to the physician with less severe medical problems than did low monitors. Nevertheless, high monitors r…

Illness Concerns and Recovery from a URI
Fifty ambulatory upper respiratory tract infection patients were studied to evaluate the nature of their illness concerns and explore the relationship between these concerns and subsequent recovery. Thirty-four patients still had URI-related symptoms 1 week after their medical visit, whereas 16 were asymptomatic. In general, asymptomatic patients could not be distinguished from symptomatic patients in terms of demographic variables, symptom type …
Preference for control and the coronary-prone behavior pattern
We explored differential preference for control among Type A and Type B individuals. Forty-six subjects were threatened with an aversive event (loud noise) and were allowed to choose whether to turn off the noise themselves or to yield control to another (more competent) individual. The results showed that Type B subjects (regardless of sex) tended to relinquish control to their more competent confederates and thus reduce the aversive stimulus, w…
