How the support of others helped me become who I Am
OBJECTIVES: Young adults treated for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (cALL) face unique developmental challenges. Social support is considered key to long-term adjustment, but we do not know how this occurs. Integrating the cancer experience into one's identity may promote positive adjustment. Our objective was to uncover the role of perceived social support in the integration of the cancer experience into the identity of long-term cALL su…

Improvement of Diet after an Early Nutritional Intervention in Pediatric Oncology
Pediatric cancer survivors may experience cardiometabolic sequelae over the course of their lives as a result of the treatments they have received. While nutrition consists of an actionable target for cardiometabolic health, few nutritional interventions have been documented in this population. This study assessed the changes in diet during a one-year nutritional intervention for children and adolescents undergoing cancer treatments and the parti…
Needs, Barriers and Facilitators of Adolescents Participating in a Lifestyle Promotion Program in Oncology
Treatments for adolescent cancer can cause debilitating side effects in the short- and long-term such as nausea and malnutrition but also cardiometabolic disturbances. Although the risk for cardiometabolic complications is greater for adolescents with cancer than younger ones, adolescents typically respond poorly to family-oriented health promotion programs. This study aims to assess the needs, barriers and facilitators to healthy lifestyle promo…

A Portrait of Self-Reported Health and Distress in Parents Whose Child Died of Cancer
Grieving a child following cancer is a substantially difficult task. The objectives of this research were: 1) to describe current quality of life (QoL), psychological distress and symptoms of grief of bereaved parents, and 2) to explore the role of possible contributors of QoL and psychological distress. Forty-six parents (32 mothers) of children who died of cancer were surveyed on their QoL, distress, and complicated grief. Data were analyzed us…
Oncologists’ perception of depressive symptoms in patients with advanced cancer
The results suggest that oncologists have difficulty accurately detecting depressive symptoms. Low levels of accuracy are problematic, considering that oncologists act as an important liaison to psychosocial services. This underlines the importance of using validated screening tests. Simple training focused on psychoeducation and relational skills would also allow for better detection of key depressive symptoms that are difficult to perceive
Individual psychology of risk-taking behaviours in non-adherence
This paper presents some theoretical considerations based on the theories of risk about non-adherence in the field of health care. Traditional models as the Health Belief Model and the Theory of Reasoned Action are presented and criticized. In order to enable the use of other theoretical frameworks, it is argued that non-adherence can be studied within the general frame of risk-taking. The behavioural decision theory is presented and it is argued…
Coping and Distress as Predictors of Glycemic Control in Diabetes
This study attempts to identify the relative contribution of coping styles (task-, emotion-oriented and avoidance) and anxiety and diabetes-related distress to glycemic control in IDDM (Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus) patients. Recent research suggests that coping and distress may as well be determinants as consequences of certain characteristics of the illness and subject. This points to the need to control some of these variables in diabet…
