“…A few data related to this hypothesis have been provided by Koller et al [44] and Badger et al [45] , who found that negative affect and depression influence cancer patients' reporting of somatic symptoms. Since hopelessness and helplessness have also been related to higher levels of depression in previous studies [22,46] , a negative perception of somatic symptoms and a reduction of QoL [47] , a further explanation is that a concomitant depressive condition may have contributed to increase the subjective perception of postinfusional CINV. Since we did not measure depression in our study, more research is needed with respect to this.…”

“…Cronbach α showed good levels of internal consistency (HADS‐Anxiety, IT: α = 0.81, PT: α = 0.86; HADS‐Depression, IT: α = 0.80, PT: α = 0.82; HADS‐Total, IT: α = 0.86; PT: α = 0.87). The scale had been used in a previous Southern European psycho‐oncology study …”

“…The details of the project and its main results are presented elsewhere (Grassi et al, 2004(Grassi et al, , 2010Gil et al, 2005;Travado et al, 2005). In summary, the study was conducted in three countries of the European Union (EU), namely Italy (Hospital S. Anna, Ferrara), Spain (Hospital Duran I Reynalds, Barcelona) and Portugal (Hospital S. José, Lisbon), and in a non-EU country (Switzerland, Lugano Hospital).…”
