“…2,3 However, over the last 20 years, researchers and clinicians working in oncology have recognized the importance of viewing cancer in the family context. This realization has lead to a burgeoning literature assessing and comparing patient and partner distress levels 3,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] as well as sex differences in distress. [43][44][45][46][47] With a few exceptions, 32 these studies suggest that patients report higher levels of clinically relevant distress than partners 3 and that women who are patients and partners report higher levels of distress than men who are patients and partners.…”

“…For example, female candidates of BMT, 4 female patients and caregivers of colon cancer 12 and a mixed female cancer population reported more emotional distress and/or caregiver burden than their male counterparts. 13 In a study examining gender relationship in melanoma patients and their spouses, Baider et al 14 found that female patients reported more distress. Their scores on the Impact of Events Scale also suggested that the disease was more intrusive to them than to male patients.…”

Summary:There are many studies that examine the psychosocial adjustment of survivors of bone marrow transplantation (BMT). On the other hand, there are relatively few studies that examine the psychosocial adjustment of patients prior to BMT, and even fewer that focus on the psychosocial adjustment of the patient's caregiver. The purpose of the present study was to assess performance status and psychosocial adjustment to illness, mood and stress response of patients and caregivers prior to admission for allogeneic BMT. Forty patients and their 39 caregivers were assessed using standardized measures. One-fourth of the patients reported clinical levels of psychosocial maladjustment on the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale and had greater adjustment problems than BMT survivors. Approximately onethird (35%) and one-quarter (23%) of the patients reported significant symptoms of intrusive and avoidance stress responses, respectively on the Impact of Events Scale. Caregivers reported more impairments in family relationships than patients, but overall reported similar distress to that of patients. Information about the pre-BMT process appears to be critical to understanding the psychosocial impact that BMT can have on patients and their caregivers.
