To date, there are no validated treatments. Yoga may be a promising intervention that combines physical activity and meditation to improve cognition.Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial with yoga, physical activity, and waitlist control arms in colorectal cancer survivors, determine effect sizes, and explore differences among groups.Methods: Interventions included 2 weekly 90-minute sessions over 12 weeks. Participants were assessed before, after, and 3 months after completion of the intervention. Measures included feasibility and acceptability, attention (Attentional Function Index, Attention Network Test, Digit Span, Digit Substitution Test, Trail Making Test), and circulating immune markers (interleukin [IL] 1β, tumor necrosis factor α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12p70, IL-1 receptor antagonist, tumor necrosis factor receptor II, C-reactive protein, and neopterin). Data analyses included descriptive statistics, comparative analyses, Cohen d statistics, and reliable improvement percentages.Results: Enrollment, retention, and intervention fidelity rates were 39%, 74%, and >75%, respectively. Exploratory analyses showed the yoga group improved performance in alertness at 3 months postintervention at time 3, with 60% of the group demonstrating reliable improvement, and improved cognitive control at time 3, with 30% of the group demonstrating reliable improvement (P < .05).Conclusion: Findings suggest that this randomized controlled trial study is feasible, and yoga may have a positive benefit on cognition.Implication for practice: Yoga is a possible intervention, but to optimize function in colorectal cancer survivors, further validation is needed.","PeriodicalId":50713,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Nursing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data collection instruments included the Descriptive Information Form, the Health Care Communication Questionnaire (HCCQ), the Cervical Dysplasia Distress Questionnaire (CDDQ), and the Cancer Worry Scale (CWS). Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were used for statistical analyses.Results: The average age of participants was 36.28 ± 7.75 years, with 92.5% being married and 41% being high school graduates. A strong negative correlation was found between HCCQ and CDDQ (r = -0.714, P = .000) and CWS (r = -0.718, P = .000). A strong positive relationship was also identified between CDDQ and CWS scores (r = 0.759, P = .000). Descriptive characteristics and the HCCQ significantly explained 73.4% of the variance in the CDDQ (R2 = 0.734, P = .000). Additionally, descriptive characteristics, the HCCQ, and the CDDQ significantly explained 82% of the variance in the CWS (R2 = 0.820, P = .000).Conclusion: The study demonstrated that women's descriptive characteristics and their perceptions of nurse communication are significant predictors of cervical dysplasia distress and cancer fear during colposcopy.Implications for practice: By gaining effective communication skills and equipping themselves with psychoeducation, nurses can take initiatives to reduce women's stress and cancer fear levels during colposcopy.","PeriodicalId":50713,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Nursing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected by the Chinese and Korean version of the Breast Cancer Screening Beliefs Questionnaire. Multivariable linear regression was performed to answer the research question.Results: Korean women with neither family history nor a friend history had significantly higher scores in all 3 subscales of the BCBSQ compared with their Chinese counterparts. In contrast, no significant differences were found between the 2 cohorts in women who have either family history or a friend history. Comparing within the Chinese cohort, women with a friend history obtained a significantly higher score in all 3 subscales of BCBSQ than those without a friend history. Similar significant association was found between having a friend history and screening practices in both cohorts.Conclusion: Knowing a friend with breast cancer is an influential factor that impacts women's cancer knowledge and screening practices.Implications for practice: The concept of peer influence should be incorporated into the design of breast cancer awareness and screening promotion programs for women from these cultural backgrounds.","PeriodicalId":50713,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Nursing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty-six Q statements were constructed based on the guidelines of the Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Quality Assurance Measures, and 10 gynecological nursing staff members were interviewed to explore their experiences with current clinical practices in hospitals.

These factors emphasized (1) family-centered communication over palliative care information, (2) patient-centered communication over rehabilitation information, (3) psychological and physiological adaptation over receiving information in advance, and (4) treatment and side effect information over palliative care information.Conclusions: Clustering patients by perspectives can assist healthcare providers in understanding patient expectations. The emerging perspectives highlight the patients' expectations of communication regarding their treatment plans. Palliative care was the least evident healthcare need across the 4 groups of patients.Implication for practice: The findings capture 4 unique perspectives of patients' expectations with healthcare needs.

Ten adolescents completed a graphing-timeline activity and participated in semistructured interviews. We analyzed the data with an adapted version of Colaizzi's method.Results: Regarding the process of awakening the spiritual identity, we identified 4 theme categories corresponding to 12 themes.

A comprehensive search was conducted using 5 databases. English-language primary research published focusing on IU and cancer-related symptoms was included in this review.Results: Of 12 articles included in this review, 11 studies found a positive relationship of IU with affective symptoms, including anxiety, depression, stress, fear, worry, and distress. Additionally, one study showed that higher IU was associated with greater cognitive impairment and that association was mediated by anxiety.Conclusion: Findings from this scoping review support the positive association between IU and cancer-related symptoms. This review further suggests that IU could be a potential risk factor for cancer-related affective and cognitive symptoms.Implication for practice: The incidence of affective and cognitive symptoms in cancer survivors is high.
