“…However, breast cancer patients, who have low levels of anxiety tend to use problem-focused coping strategies more often, which may have a positive impact on adaptation to breast cancer [ 35 , 36 ]. According to other authors, strategies focused on emotion are related to avoiding the problem and it could cause difficulties in adjusting patients to the new reality in contrast to patients who are focused on the problem [ 37 , 38 ].…”

Background: Cancer diagnosis is associated not only with health problems but also with psycho-social disability. Both medical and non-medical problems have impacts on cancer patients’ quality of life. The aim of the study was the identification of cognitive emotion regulation strategies among cancer patients during radiotherapy. Methods: The study was conducted on 78 radically treated cancer patients (median 63 years). A Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) was used. Results: Cancer patients mostly used acceptance, positive refocusing, putting into perspective and refocus on planning. Age was inversely correlated with refocus on planning. Patients with higher levels of education tended to use rumination and catastrophizing less frequently (p < 0.05). Adaptive cognitive strategies based on putting into perspective were more frequently used by professionally active patients (p < 0.05). Patients who lived in cities used positive refocusing and putting into perspective significantly often and patients who lived in villages more frequently used catastrophizing (p < 0.05). Among lung cancer patients, catastrophizing and rumination were popular (p < 0.05) and breast cancer patients rarely used non-adaptive cognitive strategies. Conclusion: Cancer patients tended to use adaptive cognitive strategies. Personalized psychological support should be focused on lung cancer patients and older, less educated, unemployed individuals and people who lived in the countryside.

Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate the association between patients' awareness of their terminal illness and the levels of anxiety and depression, whether the concordance between the patients' and caregivers' belief about the patient's terminal illness was associated with patient's anxiety and depression, and with the caregiver burden.Method: The study recruited 31 terminally ill patients with cancer along with their caregivers from a Palliative Care Unit. All data about patients and caregivers' awareness of the illness, patients' depression and anxiety, and caregiver burden were collected.Results: Patients aware of their short-term prognosis of death showed lower levels of anxiety than the unaware ones, especially women. Aware patients with concordant caregivers showed lower levels of anxiety but not of depression.Caregivers concordant with the patients' awareness presented lower levels of strain and burden. Finally, terminal patients who had an adult child caregiver were less likely to be aware of their terminal condition.Conclusions: It appears that illness awareness and the caregiver's concordance with the patient's belief on the terminal condition are associated with lower anxiety, especially in women, and a reduced burden for caregivers.

“…A segunda estratégia de enfrentamento predominante foi a "Focalizada no problema", estratégia considerada como um recurso mais ativo e que promove um enfrentamento mais adaptativo à nova realidade (Souza & Seidl, 2014). O fato de a maioria das cuidadoras ter ensino médio e, possivelmente, recursos acadêmicos e cognitivos para ajudá-las a compreender racionalmente a situação pode ter influenciado a escolha deste tipo de estratégia.…”

Casos de crianças com malformações congênitas aumentaram após a epidemia de infecção pelo vírus Zika, resultando em impacto e sobrecarga emocional para cuidadores. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a sobrecarga emocional e o enfrentamento da malformação congênita por cuidadoras parentais. Doze cuidadoras, pacientes da Maternidade-Escola da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), responderam aos instrumentos: Protocolo de Dados Gerais, Questionário “Momento da Notícia”, Escala de Enfrentamento de Problemas e Escala de Impacto da Sobrecarga sobre Cuidadores (Zarit Burden Interview Scale). Estratégias de “Busca por práticas religiosas” e “Focadas no problema” foram as mais adotadas pelas cuidadoras, que apresentaram nível de sobrecarga emocional leve a moderado. Conclui-se que a malformação congênita deve ser considerada como um importante estressor para a família.
