“…Several studies have shown that individuals with higher levels of self-efficacy are more confident in facing adversity or illness and are more likely to adopt a positive attitude toward them ( 15 , 16 ). Self-efficacy is beneficial for patients to establish a healthy and positive mindset and can improve their confidence in disease treatment ( 35 ). Studies have also indicated that an increase in self-efficacy can positively influence the prognosis of patients and improve sleep quality ( 36 ).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to explore the factors influencing PRL levels in patients with prolactinoma and to investigate the correlations between anxiety, depression, sleep, self-efficacy, and PRL levels.MethodsThis retrospective study included 176 patients with prolactinoma who received outpatient treatment at the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from May 2017 to August 2022. The general information questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) were used for data collection. A generalized estimating equation (GEE) model was used to analyze the factors influencing PRL levels in patients with prolactinoma. GEE single-effect analysis was used to compare PRL levels at different time points between anxiety group and nonanxiety group, between insomnia group and normal group, and between low, medium, and high self-efficacy groups.ResultsThe median baseline PRL level and the PRL levels at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up were 268.50 ng/ml, 122.25 ng/ml, 21.20 ng/ml, 19.65 ng/ml, and 16.10 ng/ml, respectively. Among patients with prolactinoma, 59.10% had anxiety (HADS-A score = 7.35 ± 3.34) and 28.98% had depression (HADS-D score = 5.23 ± 3.87), 9.10% had sleep disorders (AIS score = 6.10 ± 4.31) and 54.55% had low self-efficacy (GSES score = 2.13 ± 0.83). Educational level, tumor size, number of visits, sleep quality, anxiety level, and self-efficacy level were found to be factors influencing PRL levels in patients with prolactinoma (P<0.05). Higher PRL levels were observed in the anxiety group compared to the non-anxiety group (P<0.001), in the insomnia group compared to the normal group (P<0.05), and in the low self-efficacy group compared to the medium and high self-efficacy groups (P<0.05).ConclusionPRL levels in patients with prolactinoma are related to education level, tumor size, number of visits, anxiety, self-efficacy, and sleep but not depression. PRL levels were higher in patients with anxiety, low self-efficacy, and sleep disorders.

“…Healthcare professionals could provide BCS with information on symptom management to alleviate physical symptoms and improve self-care self-efficacy, which may help to reduce FCR. 37 In addition, mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy may help BCS to address their negative perceptions of cancer/recurrence. 38 The practice of mindfulness meditation may modify negative perceptions of cancer by cultivating women's non-judgemental attitudes towards fearful thoughts and emotions.…”

“…Therefore, psychological interventions focusing on symptom management and regulation of negative cognitive content would be appropriate to reduce FCR in BCS. Healthcare professionals could provide BCS with information on symptom management to alleviate physical symptoms and improve self‐care self‐efficacy, which may help to reduce FCR 37 . In addition, mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy may help BCS to address their negative perceptions of cancer/recurrence 38 .…”

ObjectiveFear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is common in breast cancer survivors (BCS). This study examined the mediating role of illness representations in the relationships between FCR and physical symptoms, social constraint and self‐care self‐efficacy.MethodsIn this cross‐sectional study, 385 women with breast cancer completed a series of questionnaires including the FCR Inventory, Social Constraints Scale‐15, Cancer Survivors Self‐Efficacy Scale, Illness Perception Questionnaire‐Revised and European Organization for Research and Treatment Quality of Life Questionnaire‐Breast Cancer. Structural equation modelling method was conduct by using a bootstrapping method.ResultsPhysical symptoms (β = 0.272, p < 0.01), social constraints (β = 0.130, p < 0.01), self‐efficacy (β = −0.233, p < 0.01) and illness representation (β = 0.261, p < 0.01) have direct effects on FCR. The indirect effects of physical symptoms (β = 0.10, p < 0.01), social constraints (β = 0.076, p < 0.01) and self‐efficacy (β = −0.025, p < 0.05) on FCR were partially mediated by illness representations.ConclusionsIn this study, the effects of physical symptoms, social constraints and self‐efficacy on FCR were found to be mediated by illness representation. Reducing the impact of negative illness representations on FCR by reducing physical symptoms, increasing self‐efficacy, and promoting open disclosure of cancer‐related concerns may be effective in reducing FCR in BCS.

“…Practice acting in leadership roles supports adolescents in overcoming obstacles by instilling senses of self and enhancing independence, self-e cacy, and decision-making capacity [24]. These qualities have been associated with successful adolescent cancer self-management and transition to survivorship or adult care [25][26].…”

Adolescents with cancer routinely report feelings of isolation and exclusion, including from medical decision-making. To address this problem and support adolescents, we designed and implemented the novel, virtual, weekly Teens4Teens peer support group and patient education program. We examined the views of participating adolescents, program guest speakers, and program moderators as they pertained to the need for the program, its feasibility, acceptability, and perceived impact. MethodsWe recruited all available adolescents, moderators, and guest speakers who participated in Teens4Teens to take part in audio-recorded, semi-structured interviews. Interviews were transcribed, coded, and analyzed using thematic analysis. ResultsWe conducted 21 interviews across participant groups. We identi ed four broad themes: pathways into the Teen4Teens program, Teens4Teens implementation capacity, perspectives of the positive impact of Teens4Teens and suggestions to improve Teens4Teens. These themes described a perceived need for adolescent-centered psychosocial programing in pediatric cancer care, provided lessons on how best to build and apply such a program, and highlighted the value of the program for both adolescents and clinicians' acceptability, feasibility, and perceived utility. ConclusionAdolescents, guest speakers, and moderators valued Teens4Teens and made suggestions to improve capacity to routinely implement the program. Adolescent-tailored psychosocial programming such as Teens4Teens is positioned to be integrated into clinical care with relative ease and may serve to improve the cancer care experience of adolescents and their families. This study has potential to provide researchers and clinicians with valuable information about the content, design, and delivery of virtual peer support programming for adolescents with cancer.
