“…Personality factors are associated with physical symptoms in both clinical and nonclinical populations (Carver & Connor‐Smith, 2010) and with greater risk of depression and diseases (Kotov et al, 2010; Noteboom et al, 2016; Weiss et al, 2009). According to some theorists, certain personality factors might easier cause the emergence of depressive symptoms in cancer patients (Bozo et al, 2017).…”

Objective: To investigate the mediator role of locus of control on the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and the manifestation of depression symptoms in cancer outpatients. Method: Participants consisted of 220 cancer outpatients (138 women and 82 men), evaluated individually at the hospital waiting room. The measures applied were as follows: The NEO-Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).Results: The factor structure of NEO-FFI was reexamined. A moderated mediation model was found for the powerful others external locus of control (LOC), depression symptoms and extraversion and conscientiousness traits across sex.Conclusions: Extraverted individuals can seek for others' support and use their attachments to find someone to guide them; conscientious patients can rely on their physician and follow every rule and orientation demanded, temporarily delegating to others the responsibility for their lives. All these strategies can help to decrease symptoms of depression. The perception of control can be taught, and it may be specifically relevant for mental health and in the performance of health behaviours.

“…These results suggesting that patients with type C behavior are more likely to suffer from negative emotions. 15,16 On the contrary, patients with breast cancer with positive personality traits are more able to express their inner unpleasant experiences and report fewer chemotherapy-related symptoms; thus, they can better adapt to the adverse physical and mental effects caused by postoperative chemotherapy. 17 At present, most type C behavior-related studies in patients with breast cancer have focused on the description of the behavioral characteristics, or the analysis of the correlation at home and abroad.…”

“…16 This correlation has also been confirmed in other studies. 15,23,24 Liu et al pointed out that social support is also associated with type C behavior in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. In addition, one study have reported a correlation between serum cortisol and type C behavior in patients with cancer.…”

Background Type C behavior is a cancer-prone behavior that can affect the occurrence and development of cancer. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of type C behavior in patients with breast cancer during postoperative chemotherapy and determine its associated factors. Methods This study enrolled 161 patients with breast cancer who received postoperative chemotherapy. Type C personality behavior pattern questionnaire was used to assess type C behavior patterns. The following instruments were employed: medical coping modes questionnaire, social support scale, social relational quality scale, Herth hope index. logistic regression was used to identify the factors affecting type C behavior. Results The incidence of type C behavior was 28%. Participants aged 45–59 years (OR = 3.62, 95% CI = 1.04–12.56, P = 0.043), and who adopted a resignation coping style (OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.03–1.50, P = 0.021), were more likely to develop type C behavior. Type C behavior was less common in patients with employment (OR = 0.38, 95% CI = 0.15–0.97, P = 0.043), with a high level of social support (OR = 0.89, 95% CI= 0.80–0.98, P = 0.023), and more hope (OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.71–0.98, P = 0.079). Conclusion In this study, 28% patients with breast cancer during postoperative chemotherapy exhibited type C behavior. Associated factors with type C behavior were identified, which could guide health care professionals to reduce the prevalence of type C behavior through guiding patients to adopt positive coping styles and improving their level of social support and hope, especially in those aged 45 to 59 years or in those without employment.
