  • Sleep Disturbance as a Mediator of Lung Cancer Stigma on Psychological Distress and Physical Symptom Burden

    Timothy J Williamson, Edward B Garon et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2024

    OBJECTIVE: This study tested sleep disturbance as a mediator through which stigma and discrimination predict psychological distress and physical symptom burden in adults with lung cancer. METHODS: Lung cancer patients on active oncological treatment ( N = 108; 74.1% stage IV) completed questionnaires on lung cancer stigma, sleep, distress, and physical symptoms at study entry and at 6- and 12-week follow-up. Mediation analyses were conducted to i…

  • Quitting smoking after a cancer diagnosis is associated with reductions in stigma and anxiety

    Open AccessTimothy J Williamson, Elyse R Park et al.ARTICLEStigma and Health2023

    Internalized cancer stigma is high among cancer patients who smoke, but it is unknown whether the experience of stigma changes after quitting smoking post-diagnosis. Using data from an RCT of tobacco treatment, we conducted a secondary data analysis and hypothesized that 1) cancer patients who quit smoking would report greater reductions in internalized cancer stigma, compared to patients who did not quit and that 2) greater reductions in stigma …

    Shame- and guilt-proneness are associated significantly with depressive symptoms and anxiety, respectively, and the relationship between guilt-proneness and anxiety is explained in part by internalized stigma in a sample of newly diagnosed lung cancer patients. Findings carry implications for the early identification of lung cancer patients in need of additional supportive care services and highlight internalized stigma as a target for psychosoci…

  • Chronic Physiologic Effects of Stress Among Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Adults

    Vickie M Mays, Robert‐paul Juster et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2018

    OBJECTIVE: Social disadvantage is associated with markers of physiological dysregulation, which is linked to disease trajectories. Chronic experiences with discrimination are thought to result in the accumulation of physiological "wear and tear" known as allostatic load (AL) among socially marginalized populations such as sexual minorities. Using a nationally representative US sample, we examined whether (1) people who self-identified as homosexu…
