Barriers and facilitators to skin cancer prevention among Hispanics
Future interventions should focus on individual, community, and system-level strategies to address misperceptions in the Hispanic community, increase knowledge and awareness, address perceptions of cultures regarding skin cancer preventive activities, and emphasize the importance or priority of health issues related to skin cancer
Disparities in HPV vaccine knowledge and adolescent HPV vaccine uptake by parental nativity among diverse multiethnic parents in New Jersey
Our findings reveal that parental HPV vaccine knowledge remains low among suburban dwelling, immigrant parents, even though they have higher education and access to health care. Multilevel strategies to reduce missed opportunities for HPV vaccine education among parents and HPV vaccination for adolescents are needed, including for suburban, immigrant communities
A randomized controlled trial of a web-based personalized feedback intervention targeting frequent indoor tanning bed users
Frequent indoor tanning bed use is an established public health concern, yet research on tanning cessation interventions for frequent tanners is lacking. We describe the protocol for a brief, web-based tanning behavior change intervention and present evidence that it is acceptable and engaging to frequent indoor tanners. Lower tanning rates were not observed among participants receiving the intervention in a randomized controlled trial but partic…
Correlates of sun protection behaviors among melanoma survivors
Future efforts to improve sun safety among melanoma survivors may benefit from targeting individuals with lower education levels, and addressing sun protection social influence, barriers, and self-efficacy
Acceptance, social support, benefit-finding, and depression in women with gynecological cancer
Culturally-adapted behavioral intervention to improve colorectal cancer screening uptake among foreign-born South Asians in New Jersey
Objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer among Americans of South Asian (SA) descent and is a significant public health concern in SA communities. Rates of screening compliance among foreign-born SAs are very low. The goal of this study was to report on the development, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a culturally-targeted 1:1 intervention delivered in English, Hindi, and Urdu, called Desi-Sehat. Design: Ninety…
Sociocultural experiences, body image, and indoor tanning among young adult women
The purpose of this survey study was to evaluate a model of body image influences on indoor tanning behavior. Participants were 823 young adult women recruited from a probability-based web panel in the United States. Consistent with our hypothesized model, tanning-related sociocultural experiences were indirectly associated with lifetime indoor tanning use and intentions to tan as mediated through tan surveillance and tan dissatisfaction. Finding…
Contextual Factors, Indoor Tanning, and Tanning Dependence in Young Women
Public health research and practice could benefit from attention to such contextual factors as tanning cost and regulations regarding session length
Cancer-specific relationship awareness, relationship communication, and intimacy among couples coping with early-stage breast cancer
If couples can maintain normalcy and quality in their relationship during the cancer experience, they may experience greater relational intimacy. Cancer-specific relationship awareness, which is an attitude defined as partners focusing on the relationship and thinking about how they might maintain normalcy and cope with cancer as a couple or "team", is one factor that may help couples achieve this goal. The main aim of this study was to evaluate …
Process and outcomes of a skin protection intervention for young adults
Efforts to reduce skin cancer risk behaviors using appearance-oriented interventions (e.g. ultraviolet (UV) light photos showing skin damage) or motivational interviewing (MI) have shown promise in recent trials. In the study a randomized 2 (UV photo versus no UV photo) x 2 (MI versus no MI) factorial design with longitudinal follow up was used. Results showed that progression in stage of change (SOC) was significantly more likely in the photo th…
Psychosocial Correlates of Sunburn among Young Adult Women
Skin cancer is an increasingly common disease, particularly among young adult women. Sunburn early in life is a risk factor for skin cancer. Few studies have reported on psychosocial correlates of sunburn. The current study consisted of an online survey of undergraduate women from a university in the northeastern part of the USA. A logistic regression demonstrated that young women who reported a history of four or more sunburns were significantly…
Skin surveillance intentions among family members of patients with melanoma
Interventions to promote skin surveillance behaviors among first-degree relatives of melanoma patients should highlight the benefits of early detection of melanoma, address barriers to receipt of total cutaneous examination and engagement in skin self-examination, and promote support from physicians and family members
Sun protection and sunbathing practices among at-risk family members of patients with melanoma
Interventions for family members at risk for melanoma might benefit from improving sun protection self-efficacy, reducing perceived sunbathing benefits, and targeting normative influences to sunbathe
Coping with Breast Cancer
This couples-focused group program aims to improve a couple's functioning as a "team" and provides a supportive environment for couples facing similar breast cancer-related issues. Over the course of six sessions, couples learn support and communication skills, as well as techniques to manage stress and enhance intimacy. Modelling by group leaders and other couples facilitates skill acquisition. With continued use, the skills learned in group can…
Long-Term Trajectories of Psychological Adaptation Among Women Diagnosed With Gynecological Cancers
OBJECTIVE: Women diagnosed with gynecological cancers may cope with a difficult treatment regimen that includes multiple abdominal surgeries and courses of chemotherapy and/or radiation. Little attention has been paid to identifying what factors place women at risk for long-term problems with psychological adaptation. The goal of the present study was to identify a set of demographic, medical, and predisposing factors as well as cognitive and soc…
Support concordance among couples coping with cancer
This study examined support concordance (i.e., the extent to which spouses agreed that supportive and unsupportive behaviors occurred) and the relationship, individual, and situational factors that influenced it. Cancer patients and their spouses (N = 239 couples) indicated how often spouses provided supportive and unsupportive behaviors. Couples had high agreement and showed greater concordance on unsupportive behaviors than supportive behaviors…
Posttraumatic Growth After Breast Cancer
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate posttraumatic growth among breast cancer patients and their significant others over a 1(1/2)-year time span after diagnosis and to examine cognitive and emotional processes in posttraumatic growth. METHODS: One hundred sixty-two women with breast cancer and their partners completed surveys assessing posttraumatic growth, cognitive and emotional processing, and marital satisfaction at 3 time poi…
Posttraumatic Growth After Breast Cancer
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate posttraumatic growth among breast cancer patients and their significant others over a 11/2-year time span after diagnosis and to examine cognitive and emotional processes in posttraumatic growth. Methods: One hundred sixty-two women with breast cancer and their partners completed surveys assessing posttraumatic growth, cognitive and emotional processing, and marital satisfaction at 3 time point…
Buffering Effects of Family and Friend Support on Associations between Partner Unsupportive Behaviors and Coping among Women with Breast Cancer
This study examined the role of family and friend support in moderating the association between partner unsupportive behaviors and avoidance coping and coping efficacy experienced by women with breast cancer. This study also evaluated whether partner unsupportive behaviors had an indirect effect on patient distress via patient avoidance coping and coping efficacy. One hundred and forty women with recently diagnosed breast cancer who were either m…
Intrusion, Avoidance, and Psychological Distress Among Individuals With Cancer
OBJECTIVE: The goal of the study was to examine the utility of Creamer's cognitive processing theory of trauma in a sample of individuals undergoing treatment for cancer. This theory proposes that avoidance is a maladaptive strategy of dealing with intrusive thoughts about a traumatic experience and suggests that avoidance mediates the relation between intrusive thoughts and later psychological distress. The role of disease-related factors, speci…
An experimental analysis of classically conditioned nausea during cancer chemotherapy
This study investigated classical conditioning in women undergoing outpatient adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. Breast cancer chemotherapy outpatients were randomly assigned either to an Experimental Group (exposed to a distinctive stimulus before each infusion of chemotherapy) or to a Control Group. After repeated infusions of chemotherapy, patients' responses to the experimental stimulus were assessed in a location not associated with ch…
Spouse criticism and support
Examined whether psychological adjustment of women with rheumatoid arthritis would be related to the support and criticism the patient received from the husband. Interviews were conducted with the husbands of 103 women with rheumatoid arthritis. Spouse interviews were content coded for critical remarks. Wives completed a revised version of the Ways of Coping Scale and a scale of the perceived supportiveness of the spouse. Husbands completed ratin…
