“…18,19 In general, avoidance or passive coping styles have been associated with increased emotional distress and frequently have been described as maladaptive, whereas approaching or active coping styles have been associated with better psychological and social outcomes and commonly described as adaptive among women with breast cancer of various ethnicities, including Chinese. 20,21 More specifically, acceptance and positive reappraisal were reported to be beneficial in reducing depressive symptoms, whereas self-blame was detrimental to emotional well-being among women with breast cancer in China. 22,23 In addition to the role as a predictor of emotional well-being, coping has been conceptualized as a mediator in the relationship between interpersonal dynamics and emotional wellbeing during health-related stressful experiences.…”

Objective Open communication about cancer diagnosis and relevant stress is frequently avoided among breast cancer survivors in China. Non-disclosure behavior may lead to negative psychological consequences. We aimed to examine the relationship between non-disclosure and depressive symptoms, and the role of coping strategies and benefit-finding in that relationship among Chinese breast cancer survivors. Methods Using convenience sampling, we recruited 148 women in an early survivorship phase (up to 6 years post-treatment) in Nanjing, China. Participants were asked to complete a set of questionnaires in Chinese language, regarding sociodemographic characteristics, depressive symptoms, disclosure views, coping strategies, and benefit-finding. Results A higher level of non-disclosure was associated with more depressive symptoms. This relationship was mediated by self-blame and moderated by benefit-finding. Specifically, non-disclosure was associated with depressive symptoms through self-blame. The impact of non-disclosure was minimized among the women with a higher level of benefit-finding. Conclusion Unexpressed cancer-related concern may increase self-blame, which leads to emotional distress among Chinese breast cancer survivors. Practicing benefit-finding may reduce the negative impact of non-disclosure. As a culturally appropriate way of disclosure, written expression may be beneficial to Chinese breast cancer patients.

“…A partir de los resultados obtenidos se observa que la ansiedad puede afectar a más de la mitad de las supervivientes evaluadas (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7) . En este grupo de pacientes existen determinadas características que se asocian con unos mayores niveles de ansiedad, como por ejemplo una menor edad, un nivel socioeconómico bajo, la falta de una relación íntima, haber recibido tratamiento psicológico previo a la enfermedad y tener una historia de experiencias vitales estresantes no relacionadas con el cáncer (2,8) .…”

ResumenObjetivo: Evaluar la respuesta de ansiedad en tres sistemas (cognitiva, fisiológica y motora) en tres grupos de supervivientes al cáncer de mama y un grupo control para encontrar diferencias entre los grupos en los sistemas de ansiedad.Método: 25 supervivientes al cáncer de mama fueron distribuidas en tres grupos según el tiempo desde que finalizaron el tratamiento (< de 5 años; > de 5 y < 10 años; > de 10 años) y se incluyó un grupo control de 10 participantes de la población general sin historia de cáncer. Todas las participantes en el estudio completaron el Inventario de Situaciones y Respuestas de Ansiedad (ISRA).Resultados: Los tres grupos de supervivientes obtuvieron valores más elevados que el grupo control en los tres sistemas de ansiedad sin llegar a ser significativos. En conjunto los resultados muestran valores elevados en ansiedad fisiológica y motora en los dos grupos más cercanos al final del tratamiento (< de 5 años; > de 5 y < 10 años). Además se observó que las puntuaciones en ansiedad cognitiva y motora aumentan en el segundo grupo comparado con el primero, disminuyendo posteriormente hasta obtener valores similares a los obtenidos por la población general.Conclusiones: En general las supervivientes al cáncer de mama muestran una buena adaptación psicológica en términos de ansiedad, aunAbstract Objective: Evaluate anxiety response in three systems (cognitive, physiological and motor) in three breast cancer survivors groups and a control group, to find differences between the groups in the anxiety systems.Method: 25 breast cancer survivors were distributed into three groups according the time from the end of the treatment (< than 5 years; > than 5 and < 10 years; > than 10 years) and a control group of 10 participants from the general population without a cancer history were included. All study participants completed the Inventory of Anxiety Situations and Responses (ISRA).Results: The three survivors groups obtained higher scores than the control group in the three anxiety systems, but not significant. Taken together the results shows high scores in physiologic and motor anxiety in the two groups closer to the end of the treatment (< than 5 years; > than 5 and < 10 years). Furthermore, it was observed that cognitive and motor anxiety systems values increases in the second group compared with the first, subsequently decreasing to obtain similar values with the general population.Conclusions: In general breast cancer survivors shows a good psychological adjustment in terms of anxiety, although the data point out that is necessary taken into account the type of anxiety that may be more affected in each temporal time.

“…Previous studies have focused on how people cope with challenges following disease, physical disorders, and mental health problems (Bajaj et al, 2013; Chawla et al, 2013; Wang et al, 2014). The category “coping with challenges” deals with being proactive, gaining control, and searching for solutions, which together express the nursing students’ positive attitudes and efforts to live as healthy a life as possible.…”

The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate how nursing students in Indonesia and Scandinavia characterize a healthy person. Two hundred thirty-two nursing students from Indonesia, 50 students from Sweden, and 119 students from Norway participated by answering an open-ended question. Qualitative content analysis was used to identify patterns of health in a cultural and national context. The characteristics of a healthy person were summarized in the theme “external and inner balance,” which are intertwined because of the wholeness of self-image and appearance. The subcategories were having a strong and positive body image, feeling well and having inner harmony, following the rules of life, coping with challenges, and acting in unison with the environment. There were more similarities than differences between the Indonesian and Scandinavian nursing students’ understanding of being a healthy person. The difference is that the Scandinavian students mentioned individuality, whereas the Indonesian students referred to collective values.
