Sexual Health, Fertility, and Relationships in Cancer Care
This book, from the International Psycho-oncology Society, is the second in a series of Companion Guides for Clinicians. The series editors identified a need for a guide to focus on the impact of cancer and oncology treatments on sexual health, fertility, and relationships. This brief manual takes a psycho-oncology perspective, placing the emotional, behavioral, and social elements at the center of the topics covered in the chapters. The aim is t…
Guilt, blame and responsibility
Men and women who have a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer may be offered a predictive genetic test to determine whether or not they carry the family specific BRCA1/2 mutation. The sons and daughters of mutation carriers have a 50 per cent chance of inheriting a mutation, which will increase their risk of developing cancer. Little is known about at-risk men's feelings about the part they play in the transmission of BRCA1/2 mutations …
Use of item response theory to develop a shortened version of the EORTC QLQ-C30 emotional functioning scale

The purpose of this study was to explore experiences of cancer in the family and motivation for predictive genetic testing among women at increased risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer due to their family history. Fifteen women were interviewed prior to receiving their genetic test results. A grounded theory approach was adopted to analyse the interview transcripts. The findings indicated that experiences of cancer in the family play a…
A modular questionnaire for the assessment of longterm quality of life in leukaemia patients
Locus of Control and Adjustment to Cancer
The English form of the Cancer Locus of Control Scale was administered to an heterogeneous sample of 68 cancer patients. A principal components analysis confirmed the three subscales described in the original Dutch form, however, with five items excluded. Correlations with other measures indicated that high internal control over the course of the illness was associated with a tendency to adopt an attitude toward cancer of 'fighting spirit' wherea…
Towards a psychobiological model of cancer
Effects of a Fear Appeal on Arousal, Self-Reported Anxiety, and Attitude towards Smoking
This paper describes the effects of an anti-smoking film on level of arousal and anxiety in a group of smokers and nonsmoking control. The aims of the study were threefold: to determine whether a fear appeal of this kind would increase arousal; to examine the relationship between self-reported, behavioral, and somatic responses to this type of fear appeal; and to assess the extent to which responses were influenced by consistent individual differ…
