Cautions in using ChatGPT for qualitative thematic analysis
Purpose Although ChatGPT was not originally designed for qualitative data analysis, it has recently garnered interest and discussion in this area due to its potential advantages. The use of ChatGPT in qualitative thematic analysis remains understudied. On these premises, the aim of this study was to use ChatGPT to re-analyze a textual dataset that was previously analyzed by human researchers using qualitative thematic analysis, allowing for a com…
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…
Chronic pain in breast cancer survivors is linked with an impairment on emotion-based decisions and fatalistic time orientation
After breast cancer diagnosis, individuals have to cope with various psychological, social, and physical consequences. One such consequence is chronic pain, which can persist even after the completion of active treatments and detrimentally impact quality of life. The published literature highlights the impact of chronic pain on cognitive functions and on decision-making processes. However, little is known about the imbalance in decision-making am…
An integrated intervention on well-being
BACKGROUND: Oncological treatments lead to physical and emotional difficulties with notable consequences in everyday life. Thus, integrated interventions that can promote quality of life are needed. Since current studies suggest that integrated programs of both physical exercises and psychological sessions can promote positive emotions, this pilot study aims to explore the impact of a one-week intervention that combines sailing activities and psy…
How to make big decisions
People often make life choices that will affect their future (e.g. getting married). However, research on decision making focuses more on abstract dilemmas than on decision making. The aim of this study is threefold: to analyze (1) whether people rely mainly on intuitive or rational processing (System 1 or 2) when making life choices; (2) whether some characteristics of recalled life choices (e.g., difficulty in making the decision) differ betwee…
Cancer patients’ participation and commitment to psychological interventions
OBJECTIVE: Some psychological interventions have been developed to improve cancer patients' and survivors' quality of life, well-being, and health engagement. However, studies are usually focused on effectiveness and less on factors influencing survivors' decision to participate, both subjective (e.g., needs) and contingent (e.g., factors related to participation/non participation). This scoping review identifies factors influencing participation…
The Body after Cancer
The words and the themes that characterized the participants' reports highlighted the impact of cancer diagnosis and oncological therapies on breast cancer survivors. The participation in the psychological intervention focused on self-compassion towards their body helps women to create an improved body perception
Patient Preferences for Lung Cancer Treatment
Introduction: Lung cancer is the deadliest and most prevalent cancer worldwide. Lung cancer treatments have different characteristics and are associated with a range of benefits and side effects for patients. Such differences may raise uncertainty among drug developers, regulators, payers, and clinicians regarding the value of these treatment effects to patients. The value of conducting patient preference studies (using qualitative and/or quantit…
The Motivation Journey
Psychological interventions are proposed to cancer survivors to support their quality of life against the emotional trauma of cancer and the side effects of treatment. Psychological interventions often require patient engagement and commitment to activities that could be more or less demanding in terms of lifestyle change (e.g., psychotherapy, sports). Analyzing participant motivations (personal aims, expectations, needs) prior to participation i…
A “Third Wheel” Effect in Health Decision Making Involving Artificial Entities
In the near future, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to participate more and more in decision making processes, in contexts ranging from healthcare to politics. For example, in the healthcare context, doctors will increasingly use AI and machine learning devices to improve precision in diagnosis and to identify therapy regimens. One hot topic regards the necessity for health professionals to adapt shared decision making with patients to i…
Validation of the Italian Version of the Brief Emotional Intelligence Scale (Beis-10)
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…
Self-curiosity
This article frames self-curiosity – the curiosity that people have about their inner world – within the overarching construct of curiosity and describes its psychological correlates identified in the empirical literature. The construct of self-curiosity is defined as one’s tendency and interest in exploring their inner functioning. It can be assessed through self-report on the Self-Curiosity Attitude-Interest Scale (SCAI), which comprises two po…
