Roles of benefit finding in psychological and inflammatory adjustments in persons with colorectal cancer: A prospective analysis on the multidimensionality of benefit finding
Objective This study examined the unique associations of different dimensions of the resilience factor, benefit finding, on concurrent and prospective psychological and biological adjustment outcomes over the first year after a colorectal cancer diagnosis.Methods and measures Individuals newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer (n = 133, mean age = 56 years old, 59% female, 46% Hispanic) completed questionnaires assessing the multidimensional aspec…
Body hair and booty calls: Conceptualising ‘empowered-ness’ in travel and tourism for solo female vanlifers
The present study focuses on advancing the current discourse from women empowerment to ‘empowered-ness’ by conceptualising solo female vanlifers' bodies from travel reflections as a medium to redefine boundaries for socio-cultural norms. This study adopted a multi-faceted approach integrating social-networking-platform and ethnographic data to examine empowered-ness for women in prolonged mobility, and the role of empowered women's bodies in trav…
A dyadic stress induction tool for experimental investigation of adult patients with cancer and their family caregivers
BACKGROUND: Medical illnesses are major stressors not only for the patients but also for their family caregivers, yet existing tools are inadequate to assess mechanistic response patterns to such stressors. PURPOSE: We sought to validate a stress induction task that pertains to close relationships and health-related concerns with adult patients with cancer and their family caregivers. METHODS: Patients newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer (n = …
Dyadic Investigation of Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms and Daily Sleep Health in Patients With Cancer and Their Caregivers
OBJECTIVE: Cancer can be a traumatic experience affecting multidimensional aspects of sleep among patients and caregivers. This study examined the differential associations of cancer-related posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) with various sleep markers in this population. METHODS: Patients newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer ( n = 138, mean age = 56.93 years, 31.88% female, 60.14% Hispanic, 6.53 months after diagnosis) and their sleep-partne…
Intimate Relationships during Covid-19 across the Genders: An Examination of the Interactions of Digital Dating, Sexual Behavior, and Mental Health
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in economic hardship, psychological stress, anxiety, and depression in a significant proportion of the global population. However, the bidirectional effects of social isolation and pre-existing or developed psychological stress could inform sexual behaviors and affect digital dating outcomes. Additionally, it is unknown whether intimate behaviors and relationships have been equally affected across the genders du…
Roles of age and sources of cancer caregiving stress in self-reported health and neuroendocrine biomarkers
To investigate the extent to which age and specific sources of caregiving stress are associated with cancer caregivers' health. Methods: New colorectal cancer caregivers ( n = 88; age M = 49) reported caregiving stress (i.e., disrupted schedule, lacking family support, financial strain) and mental and physical health, and collected saliva samples assayed for neuroendocrine biomarkers (cortisol and α-amylase). Results: Disrupted daily schedule due…
Theories of Gender in Adjustment to Medical Illness (DRAFT)
Caregiving has historically been considered the role of women, yet the number of male caregivers has increased substantially in recent years. Such changes call for systematic understanding of the role of gender in caregiving processes. This chapter summarizes theoretical perspectives pertaining to gender issues in caregiving and then evaluates their adequacy for the cancer caregiver population. Despite lack of gender theory–driven research in can…
