简要总结
Background:
A cancer diagnosis is a threat to life and bodily integrity. This can cause people with cancer to experience traumatic stress. Researchers want to better understand the types of stress and emotional reactions people with cancer experience. They also want to know if the stress people with cancer have had during their life affects their stress related to cancer.
Objective:
To see if lifetime traumas, along with psychosocial distress, can predict traumatic stress symptoms in people with cancer.
Eligibility:
People ages 18 and older who have had or are currently getting care from the NIH Clinical Center for one of these cancers:
Leukemia
Lymphoma
Mesothelioma
Prostate cancer
Design:
Participants will be screened with name, date of birth, and diagnosis.
Participants will allow access to their medical records.
Participants will complete, online or in person, a demographic sheet and 3 questionnaires:
The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5: This assesses traumatic stress symptoms and takes 5 10
minutes to complete.
The Life Events Checklist for DSM-5: This assesses potentially traumatic life events and
takes about 5 minutes to complete.
The Brief Symptoms Inventory 18: This assesses psychosocial distress and takes about 4
minutes to complete....
详细描述
Background:
- The American College of Surgeons requires accredited cancer hospitals to screen for distress.
- Providers at the NIH CC do not uniformly screen for traumatic stress in oncology patients but have observed innumerable patients with deficits in social functioning, difficulty adhering to treatment, and trouble coping due to oncology related traumatic stress.
- A seminal distress study reported the prevalence of distress for 14 cancer diagnoses was as high as 43.4% with prevalence of distress in the 30% range for the diagnoses covered in this study.
- It has been shown that a cancer diagnosis represents a threat to life and bodily integrity and can create a sense of loss of social and occupational roles, causing one s adaptive capacity to become overwhelmed.
- In oncology patients, the literature reports that symptoms or traumatic stress range from 20% with early stage cancer to 80% in those with recurrent disease.
- The outcome of this study will provide information about traumatic stress, aid in the identification of it, and provide guidance on trauma informed care for this population.
Objectives:
- A descriptive study to explore the relationships between levels of psychosocial distress and levels of traumatic stress symptoms (TSS) in patients with cancer (lymphoma, leukemia, prostate cancer, and mesothelioma) on clinical trials at the NIH Clinical Center.
- We will also describe the relationship between psychosocial distress and TSS in the context of the number of lifetime traumas experienced by patients enrolled on a clinical trial at the NIH for cancer treatment.
