Anticipating loss and other temporal stressors predict traumatic stress symptoms among partners of metastatic/recurrent breast cancer patients
ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½
Anticipating loss and other temporal stressors predict traumatic stress symptoms among partners of metastatic/recurrent breast cancer patients PSYCHO-ONCOLOGY Butler, L. D., Field, N. P., Busch, A. L., Seplaki, J. E., Hastings, T. A., Spiegel, D. 2005; 14 (6): 492-502Abstract
This study examined pre- and post-loss levels of posttraumatic stress symptoms (intrusion and avoidance) in partners of metastatic/recurrent breast cancer patients, and the relationship of these symptoms to past, current, and anticipatory stressors. The results indicate that 34% (17/50) of the partners experienced clinically significant symptom levels prior to the patients' deaths. Prior to loss, partners' symptoms were positively associated with their current level of perceived stress and anticipated impact of the loss; whereas following loss, partners' symptoms were predicted by higher pre-loss levels of symptoms, past family deaths, and anticipated impact of the loss. Limitations and treatment implications of the present ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ and directions for future ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ are discussed.
