Moderate Weightbearing Restrictions Are Associated with Worse Depressive Symptoms and Anxiety in Children Aged 5 to 7 Years with Perthes Disease.

BACKGROUND: Perthes disease most commonly affects children 5 to 7 years old, and nonoperative management, such as weightbearing and activity restrictions, is generally recommended. In earlier research in children aged 8 to 14 years who had Perthes disease, we found that the restrictions were associated with worse mobility, but mental health or social health measures were not linked. However, Perthes disease most commonly affects children 5 to 7 years old who are more emotionally and cognitively immature. Children in this age group are beginning school and organized sports experiences while dev

The experiences of acute non-surgical pain of children who present to a healthcare facility for treatment: a systematic review protocol.

REVIEW QUESTION/OBJECTIVE: The qualitative objective of this systematic review is to identify and synthesize the best available evidence on experiences of acute non-surgical pain, including pain management, of children (between four to 18 years) when they present to a healthcare facility for treatment.The specific objectives are to identify: BACKGROUND: The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as "an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage".

The effect of maternal exposure to psychosocial job strain on pregnancy outcomes and child development.

Psychological stress at work is a rising problem in Denmark. Nearly one third of the women reported in 2005 that they had difficulties completing their work tasks, and 17 % found that they had only limited or no influence on their work tasks. The corresponding numbers for 1987 were 18.3 % and 16 %, respectively. Work-related stress shortens the life expectancy and reduces the number of years without prolonged disease. For the society work-related stress amounts to more than 30,000 hospital admissions each year, half a million extra days on sick-leave for women, 500,000 contacts to general prac

Psychological interventions for people with hemophilia.

BACKGROUND: Managing hemophilia is challenging both in terms of medical treatment and its broad impact on many aspects of the individual's life, including self-perception. Several psychosocial issues are potentially relevant in the clinical management of hemophilia, including it being a chronic and incurable condition; e.g. people with hemophilia must adapt to optimally interact with peers and to practice sports - even choosing a sport represents an issue for perceived limitations, expectations and cultural influences on the individual and their family. People with hemophilia can react by deny

The psychosocial cost burden of cancer: A systematic literature review.

Background and objectivePsychosocial costs, or quality of life costs, account for psychological distress, pain, suffering and other negative experiences associated with cancer. They contribute to the overall economic burden of cancer that patients experience. But this category of costs remains poorly understood. This hinders opportunities to make the best cancer control policy decisions. This study explored the psychosocial cost burden associated with cancer, how studies measure psychosocial costs and the impact of this burden.MethodsA systematic literature review of academic and grey literatu

Effects of web-based interventions on cancer caregivers’ burden and quality of life: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Objectives As cancer incidence and survival rates rise, caregivers responsible for providing diverse support face increased burden and reduced quality of life (QoL). Although research on web-based interventions for this group is expanding, the impact of these interventions on caregiver burden and QoL remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of web-based interventions on the caregiver burden and QoL of caregivers of patients with cancer. Methods Searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Embase, and PsycINFO from database inception t

The biology of stress in cancer: Applying the biobehavioral framework to adolescent and young adult oncology research.

The stress response influences the development and trajectory of cancer through a host of complex neuroimmune mechanisms. Basic, translational, and clinical research has elucidated these biobehavioral connections and offers a new paradigm for scientific investigation and patient care. Using a biobehavioral approach could offer new diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities in oncology, and this approach will be particularly impactful for adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with cancer. To date, nearly all biobehavioral oncology research has been done in the adult population. And yet, AYAs

Predicting which patients with cancer will see a psychiatrist or counsellor from their initial oncology consultation document using natural language processing.

BackgroundPatients with cancer often have unmet psychosocial needs. Early detection of who requires referral to a counsellor or psychiatrist may improve their care. This work used natural language processing to predict which patients will see a counsellor or psychiatrist from a patient's initial oncology consultation document. We believe this is the first use of artificial intelligence to predict psychiatric outcomes from non-psychiatric medical documents.MethodsThis retrospective prognostic study used data from 47,625 patients at BC Cancer. We analyzed initial oncology consultation documents

BackgroundEmotional distress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms are highly prevalent among adults with cancer. Digital art therapy (DAT), encompassing immersive, musical, visual, and narrative digital modalities, has emerged as a potential approach to expand access to creative psychosocial interventions; however, the evidence base remains fragmented and methodologically heterogeneous.ObjectiveThis scoping review aimed to map the characteristics, digital design features, and reported psychosocial outcomes of DAT interventions targeting anxiety and depression in adults with cancer.MethodsA scopin

Stakeholder Perceptions of Key Aspects of High-Quality Cancer Care to Assess with Patient Reported Outcome Measures: A Systematic Review.

Performance measurement is the process of collecting, analyzing, and reporting standardized measures of clinical performance that can be compared across practices to evaluate how well care was provided. We conducted a systematic review to identify stakeholder perceptions of key symptoms and health domains to test as patient-reported performance measures in oncology. Stakeholders included cancer patients, caregivers, clinicians, and healthcare administrators. Standard review methodology was used, consistent with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). MEDLIN

Oncology distress screening within predominately Black Veterans: Outcomes on supportive care utilization, hospitalizations, and mortality.

BackgroundWe evaluated whether patients' initial screening symptoms were related to subsequent utilization of supportive care services and hospitalizations, and whether patient-level demographics, symptoms, hospitalizations, and supportive care service utilization were associated with mortality in primarily low-income, older, Black Veterans with cancer.MethodsThis quality improvement project created collaborative clinics to conduct cancer distress screenings and refer to supportive care services at an urban, VA medical center. All patients completed a distress screen with follow-up screening e

Information-Seeking Patterns and Communication Preferences Among Japanese Survivors With Cancer: Cross-Sectional Analysis.

BackgroundWith increasing numbers of survivors with cancer, the importance of patient-centered information provision and communication to alleviate psychological burdens, such as anxiety and depression, is growing. However, substantial individual differences exist in patients with cancer information-seeking behaviors and use of support services, and few studies have comprehensively examined cognitive and psychological factors such as treatment status, sex, trust in information sources, and patient-provider relationships.ObjectiveThis study aimed to integrate the theory of planned behavior and

Effectiveness and moderators of cancer patient-caregiver dyad interventions in improving psychological distress: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ObjectiveAs patients and family caregivers are increasingly viewed as a dyadic whole, growing studies have emerged that identify ways to improve the two parties' emotional distress. However, the specific effectiveness, quality, and optimal intervention details of these studies are unclear. Our objective is to synthesize the effectiveness of existing dyadic interventions for improving the psychological distress of cancer patient-caregiver dyads and identify potential moderators that influence intervention effectiveness.MethodsPubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINHAL, Embase, and Clinica

Precancer and cancer-associated depression and anxiety among older adults with blood cancers in the United States.

For patients with blood cancers, comorbid mental health disorders at diagnosis likely affect the entire disease trajectory, as they can interfere with disease information processing, lead to poor coping, and even cause delays in care. We aimed to characterize the prevalence of depression and anxiety in patients with blood cancers. Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare database, we identified patients ≥67 years old diagnosed with lymphoma, myeloma, leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndromes between 2000 and 2015. We determined the prevalence of precancer depression and anxi
