“…The review team found five different types of subjects studied, including: i) PTSD in BC survivors (Andrykowski et al, 1998;Andrykowski et al, 2000;Amir and Ramati, 2002;Gurevich et al, 2002;Kangas et al, 2002;Levine et al, 2005;Kangas et al, 2007;Knobf, 2007;Mehnert and Koch, 2008;Shelby et al, 2008;Smith et al, 2008;Bellizzi et al, 2010;Nordin et al, 2012;Rustad et al, 2012;Arving et al, 2013;Perez et al, 2014).…”

This in turn evokes intense fear, helplessness, or horror (DSM-IV, 2000).…”

“…Prevalence rates of BC related PTSD varied from 3 to 19% in the literature (Andrykowski et al, 2000). There are multifactorial causes/risk factors for PTSD such as cancer stage, prognosis, patient-specific treatment approaches, presence or absence of pain, performance status, need for hospitalization and degree of social support (Kangas et al, 2002;Niu et al, 2014;Rizalar et al, 2014). After diagnosis, a BC patient's worries appear to increase gradually as concerns increase regarding treatability of the disease and prognosis (Deimling et al, 2006).…”

“…This manifests in BC survivors as increased confidence, engagement in spiritual practices, family engagement and practices which enhance positive social interactions (Lelorain et al, 2010). Conversely, PTSD reduces cancer survivor's confidence and increases fear of disease recurrence and death (Kangas et al, 2002). Many studies have investigated both PTSD and PTG, but there is a paucity of data comparing the frequency, causative factors and effects of PTSD and PTG on BC survivors (Tjemsland et al, 1998;Cordova et al, 2001;Ho et al, 2011;Koutrouli et al, 2012).…”

Breast cancer (BC) is potentially a traumatic stressor which may be associated with negative outcomes, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or positive changes, such as post-traumatic growth (PTG). This study aims to identify the core issues of BC related PTSD, PTG and psychological distress by interrogating the literature in BC survivors. We have also highlighted issues related to the assessment, diagnosis and clinical management of PTSD and PTG. The authors systematically reviewed studies published from 1985 to 2014 pertaining to PTSD, psychological distress and PTG in BC survivors with particular attention paid to incidence rates and causative factors. Multiple studies intimated that women with BC have evidence of PTSD at the initial stages of diagnosis, whereas PTG develops once patients undergo treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment of PTSD/PTG is paramount from literature review but the previously mentioned relationship between PTSD and PTG in BC patients could not be verified. It is evident from the literature that a small percentage of BC patients experience PTSD, while the majority experience PTG after BC diagnosis and treatment. Future research should include prospective studies focusing on high-risk patients, causative factors and the development of psychological interventions.

“…Being affected by an illness and being exposed to a possibly traumatic experience is a rather new subject of interest. It is hard to define which aspect of it causes posttraumatic stress, as a medical condition itself can be seen as a psychological burden (Kangas, Henry, & Bryant, 2002). As rather low levels of PTSD in this study indicate, elective spine surgery may not be perceived as a traumatic experience by most patients.…”

Peritraumatic distress fully mediates the relationship between posttraumatic stress symptoms preoperative and three months postoperative in patients undergoing spine surgery

Background: Growing evidence shows the significance of illness and surgical procedures as traumatizing stressors. Risk factors are widely investigated in various settings and samples, using numerous measures of posttraumatic stress and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). While pretrauma psychological distress is acknowledged as an influential factor, peritraumatic experiences are controversially still being discussed as relevant to the development of PTSD. Objective: In a group of patients consecutively undergoing elective spine surgery (N = 89) in a German hospital, this longitudinal study addressed the question of how pretrauma PTSD symptoms and peritrauma distress interact with one another in regard to the amount of posttrauma symptoms of PTSD. Methods: Pre- and posttrauma symptoms of PTSD as well as peritrauma distress were assessed through questionnaires one week before, one week after or three months after surgery. Results: Even though all three variables showed significant correlations with one another, mediation analysis revealed that peritrauma distress fully mediated the relationship between pre- and posttrauma PTSD symptoms. Conclusions: These results add new insights to the controversial discussion on the role peritraumatic experiences play in the development of PTSD, especially in medical settings.

BackgroundHaematological malignancies are malignant neoplasms of the myeloid or lymphatic cell lines including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma. In order to manage physical and psychological aspects of the disease and its treatment, complementary therapies like yoga are coming increasingly into focus. However, the e ectiveness of yoga practice for people su ering from haematological malignancies remains unclear. ObjectivesTo assess the e ects of yoga practice in addition to standard cancer treatment for people with haematological malignancies. Search methodsOur search strategy included the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE (1950 to 4th February 2014, databases of ongoing trials (controlled-trials.com; clinicaltrials.gov), conference proceedings of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Society of Hematology, the European Haematology Association, the European Congress for Integrative Medicine, and Global Advances in Health and Medicine. We handsearched references of these studies from identified trials and relevant review articles. Two review authors independently screened the search results. Selection criteriaWe included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of yoga in addition to standard care for haematological malignancies compared with standard care only. We did not restrict this to any specific style of yoga. Data collection and analysisTwo review authors independently extracted data for eligible studies and assessed the risk of bias according to predefined criteria. We evaluated distress, fatigue, anxiety, depression and quality of sleep. Further outcomes we planned to assess were health-related quality of life (HRQoL), overall survival (OS) and adverse events (AE), but data on these were not available. Main resultsOur search strategies led to 149 potentially relevant references, but only a single small study met our inclusion criteria. The included study was published as a full text article and investigated the feasibility and e ect of Tibetan Yoga additional to standard care (N = 20; 1 person dropped out before attending any classes and no data were collected) compared to standard care only (N = 19). The study included people with all stages of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, with and without current cancer treatment. The mean age was 51 years.Yoga in addition to standard care for patients with haematological malignancies (Review)
