    This study examined the relationship between race, religiosity, and posttraumatic growth as well as the association between growth and physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in breast cancer survivors ( N = 802; M age = 57.2). Multivariate analyses revealed that African American breast cancer survivors reported higher levels of posttraumatic growth than White women. However, this relationship was mediated by religiosity. We fo…

  • Evaluation of the Efficacy of a Nonlatex Condom

    Open AccessRon G Frezieres, Karen Peacock et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Sexual and…2003Cited by: 1References: 1

    Although polyurethane and latex condoms provide equivalent levels of contraceptive protection, the polyurethane condom's higher frequency of breakage and slippage suggests that this condom may confer less protection from sexually transmitted infections than does the latex condom

  • Hospice Role in Alleviating the Emotional Stress of Terminal Patients and Their Families

    Robert L Kane, Sandra Jacoby Klein et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1985

    Terminally ill cancer patients in a Veterans Administration hospital were randomly assigned to receive hospice care. Follow-up evaluation through the time of death revealed no significant differences in anxiety or depression between hospice or control patients, but hospice patients exhibited significantly greater improvement in two of three measures of satisfaction (interpersonal care and involvement in care decisions). Hospice patients' signific…

  • Ucla Hospice Evaluation Study

    Jeffrey Wales, Robert L Kane et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1983

    An unbiased evaluation of hospice effectiveness requires a randomized controlled trial (RCT), but the implementation of such a design is difficult. This paper describes the methods of the only RCT to date and reports on the validity and reliability of scales selected or developed to assess attainment of hospice goals. The patients involved are those in a VA hospital in Los Angeles who have cancer and a prognosis of about 6 months and who consent.…
