“…Approximately 18 to 20 percent of long-term cancer adult survivors report anxiety symptoms. 32–35 Using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale with a cohort of survivors 6 and 12 months post-diagnosis, 22% and 21% respectively were higher than the cutpoint of 8. 33 Having higher scores at 6 months predicted higher scores at 12 months.…”

“…Other identified risk factors for anxiety in adult survivors have included shorter time since diagnosis and a higher number of comorbid conditions, 36 as well as younger age, living alone and a diagnosis of lung cancer or melanoma. 35 A prospective, longitudinal study that documented trajectories of mood symptoms over time found 4 different trajectories in breast cancer survivors assessed over a 2 year follow-up: 1) High Stable, 2) High Decrease, 3) Mild Decrease and 4) Low Decrease. 37 Financial difficulties, lower global health and functional status were predictive of being in the High Stable trajectory.…”

Synopsis Most cancer survivors adjust well to life after cancer but some experience persisting negative mood such as cancer-related fears, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, or depression. Mood fluctuations may not reach criteria for a clinical diagnosis but sub-clinical symptoms can interfere with quality of life. Females, and adolescents and young adults are particularly at risk for mood disturbances. Behavioral interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy and pharmacological treatments can effectively treat these distressing emotions. Much of the research on managing emotional needs after cancer has been completed with breast cancer survivors and more work is needed with diverse groups of survivors.

“…Furthermore, patients with higher levels of flourishing tend to recover faster from illness and are less likely to fall into a relapse (Keyes, 2010). Although Keyes' model on human flourishing is widely accepted as an acceptable model for predicting happiness or human flourishing, little applied research exists regarding its utilisation in intervention studies (Boyes, Girgis, D'Este, & Zueca, 2011).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the main streams of research on happiness, the approaches/models flowing from these philosophies and the methodology of happiness interventions. A systematic review was performed outlining the authors, the purpose of the research, the nature of the sample/setting, the method utilised and the key findings. Peer-reviewed articles published between 1950 and 2013, written in English/Afrikaans, and which examined the concepts of happiness were analysed. The results showed three causes for failing interventions: (a) unidimensional models/ approaches towards happiness, (b) targeting the concept of happiness instead of mediating factors; and (c) fragmented methodological interventions. The results support the need for a multidimensional model of happiness. Interventions focusing on psychological processes and utilising multi-facet methodologies should be developed and implemented to promote happiness. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing an integrative framework for positive psychological interventions directed at happiness.

“…In a study of testicular cancer survivors, 19.2% screened positive for an anxiety disorder (Dahl et al, 2005). Similarly, 24% of a sample of survivors with heterogeneous cancer types had significant levels of anxiety (Boyes, Girgis, D’Este, & Zucca, 2011). …”

This observational cohort study examined the relationships between actual and perceived R/S change at 12 months post cancer diagnosis with depression, anxiety, and perceived growth 6 months later. Older adult military veteran cancer survivors (n = 111) completed self-report surveys at 6, 12, and 18 months post cancer diagnosis. Perceived R/S change was assessed at 12 months postdiagnosis with “Have your religious or spiritual beliefs changed as a result of your cancer” (more R/S, less R/S, other). Actual R/S change was assessed at 6 and 12 months postdiagnosis on a single item, “I have faith in God or a Higher Power” (no, somewhat, yes). A notable minority reported perceived (18.9%) and actual (14.4%) change. Greater perceived R/S change predicted more severe symptoms of depression and anxiety and greater perceived growth at 18 months postdiagnosis; perceived growth was positively associated with anxiety. Cancer survivors who report R/S changes may benefit from spiritual and/or psychological support.
