Quality of Life Among Cancer Survivors
A Study Exploring Risk Management Issues Among Volunteers in an Oncology Support Program
Risk management and challenges of volunteer roles in an oncology support program in Montreal, Canada, were explored using a phenomenological approach involving 65 service volunteers. Fourteen focus groups were held representing oncology services in the hospital and the wellness center. Self-reported questions were administered to assess the risks perceived by the volunteers. Findings revealed 4 major themes: comfort level, daily frustrations, ris…
Job Satisfaction Among Volunteers With Personal Cancer Experience
This study explored job satisfaction among 753 cancer-experienced volunteers from hospital, palliative care, and community-based oncology settings in nine provinces across Canada. Based on a conceptual framework including three components of volunteering—antecedents, experiences, and consequences—a mixed-methods design to explore job satisfaction was used. Findings from the quantitative and qualitative inquiries indicated that the level of job sa…
Therapeutic Interventions with Immigrant Muslim Families in the United States

The Quality of Dyadic Relationships, Leisure Activities and Health Among Older Women
We examined the combined influence of dyadic relationships and leisure activities on health. We used self-administered survey to collect data at senior centers from French and English older women (N = 257) in Montreal, Quebec. Multiple regression analyses (OLS) were used to examine the main effects of dyadic quality and leisure activities on physical and mental health. Despite controlling for specific dyadic groups, meals, and bingo, we find that…
Perceptions of “Impingement” and Marital Satisfaction Among Wives of Retired Husbands
Initial pilot interviews with women whose husbands were in the first year of retirement revealed that problems of "impingement"--perceptions of husbands as intruders into their worlds-as-lived--were cited, in response to open-ended items, as the most difficult aspect of husbands' retirement. An impingement index, consisting of items constructed from those responses, was administered to the original panel of 83 women whose husbands were now in the…
The Joint Effect of Poor Physical Function and Childcare on Psychological Distress Among Elderly Latinos
This study is based on the double jeopardy hypothesis that elderly people who have poor physical function and who provide childcare for their families are more likely to experience a greater sense of psychological distress than those with poor physical function who have no childcare responsibilities. We used a sample of 2160 elderly (age 65 or over) Latinos (including Puerto Ricans and those of Mexican, Cuban, or other Latin American origin or de…
Leisure Activities, Stress, and Health among Bereaved and Non-Bereaved Elderly Men
Few studies have examined the effect that a resource such as leisure activities might have on the relationship between stress and health among elderly men. Data from the Normative Aging Study (NAS) were used to examine whether specific groups of leisure activities (social, solitary, and mixed activities; activities performed either alone or with others) moderated the effect of stress on the health of elderly men and whether there were differences…
Older Russian immigrants to the USA
Stress as a result of immigration has contributed to physical illness and intergenerational conflicts among elderly Jewish Russian immigrants. Most speak only Russian and suffer from disabilities, isolation and lack of understanding of US health services. The authors explore the psychological and social factors affecting their use of health services, and address implications for social workers and health care professionals, concluding that the ed…

METHODS: The study sites were 12 nonproprietary Massachusetts home health agencies (HHAs).…
