Importantly, if and FOP are distinct have different predictors, existing interventions for may not be equally effective survivors who rather than their disease. present study aimed to determine whether empirically equivalent; they predicted by the same theoretically derived variables.Three hundred eleven adults a history breast or ovarian were...
Endometriosis is a chronic condition generally characterised by severe pain. Recent findings demonstrate disproportionately elevated rates of insomnia and fatigue among people with endometriosis, particularly those associated Yet there little understanding the psychological factors that might contribute to these sleep related difficulties.

Additionally, we explored...
Death anxiety is understudied in people with cancer, especially relation to fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) and progression (FOP).

We included variables, such as metacognitions, intrusive thoughts about perceived risk or progression, threat appraisal, regression analyses FOP. investigated whether added...
The Cancer Threat Interpretation model proposes that clinically significant fear of cancer recurrence/progression (FCR/P) can occur when people misinterpret ambiguous physical symptoms as a sign recurrence. aim this research is to test whether interpretation biases moderate the relationship between pain and FCR/P in women with breast cancer, predicted.One hundred forty-seven completed questionnaire measures demographic medical information, FCR/P, bias, symptom burden, well other known...
Abstract Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological condition, of which pain both the most common and debilitating symptom. As with other forms pain, there increasing recognition role psychological processes in bridging gap between impact, yet these are not well understood endometriosis.
