“…Manhal-Baugus, 72 Childress, 73 and Humphreys et al 74 have reviewed the ethical issues involved in webbased interventions. This study adds to the growing literature on the benefits of various interventions for primary breast carcinoma patients, including the benefits of brief, unstructured, supportive-expressive group therapy, 75,76 brief education-based groups, 66 and brief cognitivebehavioral groups. 77 Although the results of this trial are promising, more research is needed before this support group format can be recommended to women coping with a diagnosis of breast carcinoma.…”

A versatile, ultralight, N‐doped, 3D graphene framework (GF) is prepared. In their Communication on L. Qu and co‐workers show that this GF has an ultra‐low density ((2.1±0.3) mg cm−3; a GF block can balance on a dandelion) and its adsorption capacity for oils is much higher than that of the best carbonaceous sorbents. The 3D open‐pore structure and N doping make GF promising as an electrode material for supercapacitors and as a metal‐free catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells.

“…The types of interventions vary, should be chosen on the basis of the desired clinical outcomes, and include cognitive-behavioral programs (66,(104)(105)(106)(107)(108), educational/informational programs (109,110), peer support and discussion programs (109,110), supportive-expressive group therapy (111)(112)(113)(114)(115)(116), and expressive disclosure programs (117). A meta-analysis suggests that no specific therapeutic approach is more effective than another (97).…”

Cancer survivors face significant morbidity and mortality associated with their disease and treatment regimens, some of which can be improved through modifying behavioral and psychosocial risk factors. This article examines risk factors for adverse late effects that contribute to morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors, provides a literature review on interventions to modify these risks factors, and summarizes the national recommendations and associated current practices for identifying and managing these risk factors. Finally, future directions for research and clinical practice are discussed. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev; 20(10); 2068-77. Ó2011 AACR.

“…Para além disso, comprova-se que o recurso a apoio psicológico pode reduzir o impacto psicossocial no momento dos tratamentos, o que reforça a necessidade de realizar uma abordagem multidisciplinar na intervenção em oncologia e, para além disso, reforça a importância dos resultados de vários estudos, que se preocupam em analisar qual o tipo de intervenção psicológica com maiores benefícios emocionais (Hack & Degner, 2004;Kissane et al, 2007;Kissane et al, 2004;Spiegel et al, 1999;Spiegel & Giese-Davis, 2002).…”

Objective: Women diagnosed with breast cancer are confronted with different stressors throughout the illness trajectory, e.g. awaiting diagnosis, having surgery, anticipating the possibility that the cancer has spread and coping with side effects. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the psychosocial pathway of breast cancer. Methods: A total of 360 women diagnosed with breast cancer were evaluated, on 3 separate occasions, regarding: distress, emotional control, neuroticism, social support, coping, quality of life (QoL) and demographic characteristics. We used structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships among all the variables.Results: The emotional, cognitive response, and the QoL suffered significant changes concerning diagnosis (time 1), surgery (time 2) and treatments (time 3). Furthermore, results indicate that an adapted emotional response is associated to efficient coping strategy, and satisfaction with the perceived social support and good QoL. This is particularly the case when women are undergoing a psychological intervention. Conclusion: To help breast cancer patients adjust to their situation the clinical psychologist should encourage the patient to adopt more efficient coping strategies. By doing so, patients may indeed experience less psychological distress and a higher quality of life, thereby increasing their overall sense of well-being.
