“…For cancer patients, hope can be regarded as an effective coping strategy that gives them the courage to overcome difficulties and helps them accept the reality of the disease, actively participate in treatment and improve the prognosis and survival (Sanatani et al, 2008; Schjolberg et al, 2011). Studies have shown that hope is an important factor for survival and is related to the patient's quality of life, social support, survival well‐being and psychological distress (Manor‐Binyamini, 2020; Shen et al, 2020). Hope is an inner strength that keeps the patient full of energy in the face of adversity.…”

Aim This research aimed to explore the level of hope and symptom burden of breast cancer women undergoing chemotherapy, and predictive factors of hope were also investigated. Background Chemotherapy brings physical and psychological stress to breast cancer patients. As an effective coping strategy, hope gives them the courage to overcome difficulties and improve prognosis and survival. Therefore, efforts are needed to raise hope. Design/Methods A total of 450 women who were undergoing breast cancer chemotherapy participated in this cross‐sectional study. Sociodemographic data, disease characteristics, and measures of hope and symptom burden were collected using questionnaires. Hope was assessed using the validated Herth Hope Index, and the previously validated Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale was used to assess symptom burden. This paper adhered to the STROBE guidelines. Results Chinese breast cancer chemotherapy women hope average scores of 30.15 ± 4.82 were in the medium range of the Hearth Hope Index as specified by Herth to be 24–35. Patients with age ≤45, religious beliefs and lighter symptom burden have a higher level of hope. These variables explained a total of 22.9% of the variation in hope. Conclusions The level of hope for women undergoing breast cancer chemotherapy still needs to be further improved. Symptom burden can negatively predict hope. Relevance to clinical practice If nurses can decrease breast cancer chemotherapy women symptom burden, there is an impact on increasing levels of hope.

“…Table 2b displays the characteristics of the 10 studies published from 2012 to 2020 that assessed quality of life of TNBC patients, comprising five RCTs [54][55][56][57][58], two non-randomized clinical trials [59,60], two cross-sectional studies [61][62][63], and one retrospective study [64]. Five of the studies assessed HRQoL outcome data using FACT-B, four studies reported EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23, and one study reported EQ-5D.…”

“…The non-randomized trials [59,60] had moderate quality with high risk in the NOS selection domain related to representativeness of the sample at the time points when HRQoL was evaluated. The cross-sectional studies [61][62][63] were rated as moderate quality with the adapted NOS, where the main risk of bias was lack of description of the derivation or representativeness of the included sample or the sample size calculation. Quality assessment for Mocerino et al [64] was not undertaken as its English abstract and data tables did not contain sufficient information for assessment, while the remainder of the article was not in English.…”

Background Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 10-20% of all breast cancers (BCs). It is more commonly diagnosed in younger women and often has a less favorable prognosis compared with other BC subtypes.Objective The objective of this study was to provide a literature-based extensive overview of the economic and humanistic burden of TNBC to assist medical decisions for healthcare payers, providers, and patients. Methods A systematic literature review was performed using multiple databases, including EMBASE, MEDLINE, Econlit, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, from database inception to 16 May 2021. In addition, a targeted search was performed in the Northern Light Life Sciences Conference Abstracts database from 2016 through June 2021. The bibliographies of included articles were reviewed to identify other potentially relevant publications. Quality assessment of the included studies was conducted. ResultsThe review identified 19 studies assessing the economic burden and 10 studies assessing the humanistic burden of TNBC. Studies varied widely in study design, settings, patient populations, and time horizons.

“…37 Moreover, factors such as self-rated health and social support have been associated with other health-related variables and outcomes such as sleep recovery and cardiovascular health, [38][39][40] and cancer-related quality of life. 41 Furthermore, we conducted IDP analysis to identify clusters of related factors, and to elucidate the strength, and direction of association among the various factors, and between each factor and risk of PTB. IDP analysis identified specific clusters of factors that were conceptually related and showed significant (p < 0.05) predictive associations with PTB: perceived risk of birth complications, general anxiety, happiness and tiredness/fatigue, self-rated health, social support, pain, and sleep.…”

Deleterious and Protective Psychosocial and Stress-Related Factors Predict Risk of Spontaneous Preterm Birth

Objectives The aim of the study was to: (1) Identify (early in pregnancy) psychosocial and stress-related factors that predict risk of spontaneous preterm birth (PTB, gestational age <37 weeks); (2) Investigate whether “protective” factors (e.g., happiness/social support) decrease risk; (3) Use the Dhabhar Quick-Assessment Questionnaire for Stress and Psychosocial Factors™ (DQAQ-SPF™) to rapidly quantify harmful or protective factors that predict increased or decreased risk respectively, of PTB. Study Design This is a prospective cohort study. Relative risk (RR) analyses investigated association between individual factors and PTB. Machine learning-based interdependency analysis (IDPA) identified factor clusters, strength, and direction of association with PTB. A nonlinear model based on support vector machines was built for predicting PTB and identifying factors that most strongly predicted PTB. Results Higher levels of deleterious factors were associated with increased RR for PTB: General anxiety (RR = 8.9; 95% confidence interval or CI = 2.0,39.6), pain (RR = 5.7; CI = 1.7,17.0); tiredness/fatigue (RR = 3.7; CI = 1.09,13.5); perceived risk of birth complications (RR = 4; CI = 1.6,10.01); self-rated health current (RR = 2.6; CI = 1.0,6.7) and previous 3 years (RR = 2.9; CI = 1.1,7.7); and divorce (RR = 2.9; CI = 1.1,7.8). Lower levels of protective factors were also associated with increased RR for PTB: low happiness (RR = 9.1; CI = 1.25,71.5); low support from parents/siblings (RR = 3.5; CI = 0.9,12.9), and father-of-baby (RR = 3; CI = 1.1,9.9). These factors were also components of the clusters identified by the IDPA: perceived risk of birth complications (p < 0.05 after FDR correction), and general anxiety, happiness, tiredness/fatigue, self-rated health, social support, pain, and sleep (p < 0.05 without FDR correction). Supervised analysis of all factors, subject to cross-validation, produced a model highly predictive of PTB (AUROC or area under the receiver operating characteristic = 0.73). Model reduction through forward selection revealed that even a small set of factors (including those identified by RR and IDPA) predicted PTB. Conclusion These findings represent an important step toward identifying key factors, which can be assessed rapidly before/after conception, to predict risk of PTB, and perhaps other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Quantifying these factors, before, or early in pregnancy, could identify women at risk of delivering preterm, pinpoint mechanisms/targets for intervention, and facilitate the development of interventions to prevent PTB.
