The important role of emotion regulation and expression in adaptation to breast cancer is now widely recognized. Studies have shown that optimal emotion regulation strategies, including less constrained emotional expression, are associated with better adaptation. Our objective was to systematically review measures used to assess the way women with breast cancer regulate their emotions. This systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Nine different databases were searched. Data were independently extracted and assessed by two researchers. English-language articles that used at least one instrument to measure strategies to regulate emotions in women with breast cancer were included. Of 679 abstracts identified 59 studies were deemed eligible for inclusion. Studies were coded regarding their objectives, methods, and results. We identified 16 instruments used to measure strategies of emotion regulation and expression. The most frequently employed instrument was the Courtauld A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT

“…What's more, G. Manna, et al (2007) [24] reported that the subjects affected with mammary carcinoma have a reduced capacity to control their emotions and tend to use rigid reaction mechanisms to stress (negation or repression) and to interject aggression. Weihs, et al (2000) [25] also found that restriction of emotion predicted higher mortality in recurrent breast cancer.…”

Objective: To investigate the influential factors among life events, traits coping style and social support in breast cancer patients. Methods:We conducted a 1:1 case-control matched study, selecting 400 female patients as case group and 400 matched healthy females as control group. Each group was given an interview respectively.Results: Statistically significant differences were found in level of negative events, total scale, family problem, work and study problem in the life event scale (LES), (p＜.0001 respectively). Subjective support and the scale of social support in the social support rating scale (SSRS) were significantly negatively associated with breast cancer patients (OR (subjective support) = 0.697, 95%CI 0.576-0.844, p=0.0002; OR (the scale of social support) = 0.655, 95%CI 0.560-0.765; p＜.0001). Negative coping in the traits coping style questionnaire (TCSQ) and negative events in LES were significantly positively associated with breast cancer patients (OR (negative coping) = 1.149, 95%CI 1.103-1.197； p＜.0001; OR (negative events) = 1.051, 95%CI 1.034-1.067; p＜.0001). Conclusion:Life events, traits coping style and social support may have certain relationship with breast cancer patients. Further analyses carefully addressing the bias including the effect of mood congruence are warranted to better understand the cause-effect relationship between the life events, traits coping style and social support and breast cancer incidence.

“…A nível internacional, há um estudo que compara um grupo de mulheres com cancro de mama com um grupo de controlo (mulheres sem doença), concluindo que as mulheres com cancro de mama são significativamente mais alexitímicas (Manna et al, 2007). A nível nacional, encontramos apenas um estudo que indica uma prevalência da alexitimia em mulheres com cancro de mama duas vezes superior à da população normativa (Guerra, Pinto, & Mariano, 2007).…”

ResumoObjetivos: Caracterizar as variáveis alexitimia, espiritualidade (dimensão crenças espirituais/religiosas e dimensão esperança/otimismo), assertividade e qualidade de vida de mulheres com cancro de mama.Método: A amostra é composta por 85 mulheres com cancro de mama de um Hospital do Grande Porto, com uma média de 47 anos e maioritariamente casadas. As doentes foram avaliadas através de 6 instrumentos de autopreenchimento: Questionário Sociodemográfico e Clínico; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS); Escala de Alexitimia de Toronto (TAS-20); Escala de Avaliação da Espiritualidade; Escala de Assertividade de Rathus e The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQC-30, v.3.0). Resultados: Os resultados indicam que a alexitimia se correlaciona de forma negativa com a dimensão esperança/otimismo e com a assertividade e que estas três variáveis têm influência na qualidade de vida. Mostram ainda a existência de uma correlação positiva entre a idade e a qualidade de vida global, bem como uma correlação negativa do número de anos de escolaridade com a alexitimia e com a dimensão crenças. O modelo preditor da qualidade de vida obtido exclui a influência da assertividade e mostra o impacto negativo da alexitimia e a influência positiva da dimensão esperança/otimismo na qualidade de vida de mulheres com cancro de mama, mesmo depois de controladas as variáveis ansiedade e depressão.

Emotional expression and coping style in female breast cancer

Abstract: Our results indicate that the tendency to repress one's emotions is associated to some general schemes of reaction to stress which, when used in a dysfunctional manner (such as the attempt to ignore how threatening an event is), are maladaptive in the end.
