Can Family Motivation Enhance Men’s Uptake of Cascade Screening for Familial BRCA1/2 Mutations
Pathogenic variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes increase the relative and absolute risks of developing breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancer. Clinical guidelines recommend cascade screening (CS) to enhance the identification of at-risk relatives. Despite the benefits of CS in facilitating access to appropriate cancer screening and risk-reduction strategies, CS uptake remains relatively low, particularly among at-risk men. Men’s decisi…
Changes in life decisions and in emotions following genetic testing for cancer risk
Genetic testing is essential for understanding the onset of advanced cancer. Women who tested positive for a BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant experience changes in their everyday life, affecting their emotions, behaviors, and social relationships due to their “at risk” status. Moreover, a new sense of urgency arises when planning future decisions. This study aims to explore the psychological experiences of women who have undergone genetic testing throu…

Based on Salovey and Mayer's conceptualization of emotional intelligence, Davies and colleagues developed the BEIS-10 scale, a 10-items self-report questionnaire that explores individual dispositions that people have about exploring one's own and others' emotions. To date, no studies assess the validity of the BEIS-10 scale in the Italian context. This article aims to fill this gap, exploring the validity, reliability, and construct validity of t…
