Abstract Breast cancer is considered one of the most frequent causes of morbidity and death in women. Individuals’ response to information regarding health threats and illness can influence the adjustment of the treatment to existing conditions including the issues of non-completion of treatment or non-attendance at medical appointments. The study aimed to examine the relationship between illness perception, body image dissatisfaction and (mal)adaptive coping styles in breast cancer patients. A sample of 197 patients with diagnosed breast cancer hospitalized at the Center for Oncology and Radiology, Kragujevac, Serbia, was surveyed. The instruments included sociodemographic questionnaire, a Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ),… More >

Pluridisciplinarité et méthodes pour la recherche en SHS dans le domaine du cancer)
Abstract Cet article vise à éclairer les enjeux de continuité et de reprise du dialogue interdisciplinaire entre médecins et psychologues d’orientation psychanalytique sur le terrain de la recherche, après que cette collaboration se soit institutionnalisée et pérennisée sur le plan institutionnel. A partir de la mise en regard de deux dispositifs de recherche se situant dans le prolongement l’un de l’autre sur un même terrain de recherche, nous questionnerons les modalités de négociation du dialogue interdisciplinaire et les voies par lesquelles il se manifeste sur le terrain de la recherche, médié par la rencontre entre soignants et chercheurs.

Abstract Aim: To investigate parents’ experience of home care for children in oncology in order to identify the benefits, expectations, and
possible difficulties associated. Material and methods: A qualitative method was adopted, with non-directive interviews conducted
with nine participants, then analyzed using thematic content analysis. Results: The main recurring themes in the discourse include:
(1) relief, (2) positive representation of home, (3) positive representation of home care, and (4) negative representation of home
care. For these parents, home care appears to be positive overall, even though the introduction of home care is often reported as a
source of stress for them.… More >

Abstract Although some types of gynecological cancer have a poor prognosis and high recurrence rate, less is known about the fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in gynecological cancer patients than in other cancer populations. Psychosocial problems may be experienced more in gender-specific cancers. In order to prevent future health problems related to FCR, it is critical to identify the factors affecting FCR in different subgroups and to develop various interventions. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the factors affecting the FCR in women diagnosed with gynecological cancer and interventions to reduce the FCR. The protocol of… More >

Abstract School difficulties are common in children cancer survivors and may be prognostic for the success of the patient social
reintegration after the disease. Here, we carry out a narrative review of the literature from 2001 to 2022 to assess the school
difficulties of these patients, the predictive factors of these difficulties, and the possible long-term consequences. We punctuate
this review the practical point-of-view of a teacher dedicated to our hospital, who works with children with chronic diseases
such as cancer. Therefore, we expose possible barriers and solutions to improve the scholar reintegration and limit the impact
of cancer on the… More >

Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) poses significant physical and psychological challenges that necessitate an exploration of factors
influencing post-traumatic growth (PTG) for patient well-being. This study aims to investigate the effects of positive
psychological capital (PsyCap) and perceived stress on mediating the social support-PTG relation among 673 CRC patients.
Social support, positive PsyCap, perceived stress, and PTG were assessed through questionnaires. The results indicated a direct
prediction effect of social support on PTG (LICI = 0.481, ULCI = 0.644), with the direct effect being 59.5%. Both positive
PsyCap and perceived stress exerted a mediating role in the correlation between social support and… More >

Abstract The need for home palliative care is increasing in all Western countries. Community pharmacists are local professionals whose role
in end-of-life care at home remains poorly understood. The aim of this study is to understand how community pharmacists see
their role in end-of-life home care in France, and to analyze their experiences of this care. An online questionnaire was distributed
to community pharmacists working in France between December 2022 and March 2023. Of the 136 respondents to the
questionnaire, 87% had accompanied at least one patient at the end of life in the 3 months preceding the survey. Therapeutic

Abstract In pediatric advanced cancer, i.e., when cancer-targeted treatments are not effective, care provided to patients is of palliative nature.
It aims at limiting symptoms and optimizing quality of life (QoL). To orient care, it is necessary to know and measure what is really
important for young people. Unfortunately, tools are still scarce in this context. The aim of this paper is to describe the
development process of a new QoL assessment method, the Advance QoL program. This is specifically designed for the clinical
context of pediatric advanced cancer. Three previous studies carried out by our team identified seven important QoL… More >

Abstract The posttreatment period is a key part of the management of pediatric cancer. During this time, school and psychological difficulties
have been described in childhood cancer survivors (CCS) and can be prognostic for the success of social reintegration. This study
estimated the influence of the household’s socioeconomic status (SES) on these psychosocial difficulties. This study is based on a
prospective multicentric database and focused on children who received a psychosocial evaluation during their follow-up from 2013
to 2020. We retrieved data on school and psychological difficulties. Household SES was estimated by a social deprivation score. Data
from1003 patients were analyzed.… More >

This multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,189 nurses providing direct care to adult cancer patients in 32 hospitals in 12 geographical regions of Turkey. A questionnaire, the Psychosocial Skills Form, and the Professional Quality of Life Scale were used to collect the data. Nurses’ psychosocial skill level was in the range of 2.72 ± 0.98 and 2.47 ± 0.89 out of four points. Communication skills such as empathic response, active… More >

Abstract Aims: The violent death of a young parent from cancer has a profound effect on both spouse and children. The family must adapt
to the absence of the bereaved and reorganize to raise the children as best they can. Very young children are particularly vulnerable,
as they are generally unable to express their suffering. To give them a voice, we have designed an innovative system, The Little
Match Girl, as part of a health democracy approach. Procedure: We assessed the effects of their participation in the group for
a population of eight children and their parents. The six parents assessed… More >
