Older patients (≥58 years; mean age = 58.7, SD = 12.01) and those with severe disease reported higher symptom frequencies. Water irritation strongly predicted shame (OR 21.3) and frustration (OR 5.8), with ARexp indicating that alleviating water-related discomfort could reduce shame by 95.3%, frustration by 82.8%, and tiredness by 92.1%. Pain and itch were linked to depression and sleep loss. Findings highlight the significant psychosocial burden of SSc skin symptoms, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to improve both physical and mental health outcomes.","PeriodicalId":51355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"13591053251342549"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144745931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current research used phenomenological research methods to understand the experiences of women who have IC as they affect their sexualities. Ten women with IC participated in individual, semi-structured interviews. Nine themes emerged from the interviews. Findings indicated that women who have IC experienced severely limited sexual relationships, negative physician-patient interactions, the necessity for self-management of symptoms and diminished quality of life. Their accounts underscore the profound impact IC has on sexuality, revealing how sexual experiences are deeply intertwined with the emotional, physical and medical challenges of the condition. These findings contribute to a deepened understanding of the experiences of women who have IC and help to increase physicians' understanding and awareness of the sexual effects that accompany IC.","PeriodicalId":51355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"13591053251354906"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144735202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HMC comprised health-related content, including managing comorbidities and nutritional information. BCS with elevated FoR were randomized to CBT components (vs HMC) over 4 weeks. Post-participation interviews and additional data from FoRtitude BCS (N = 101) were analyzed. BCS were on average 55 years old (range 26-76 years), White (96%), non-Hispanic (93%), and diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer (87%). Analysis identified four themes: increased self-efficacy, including immediate access and interaction, managing emotional arousal, managing perceived risk of recurrence, and opportunities for future FoRtitude refinements. CBT and HMC play mechanistically distinct yet complementary roles in reducing FoR through increased self-efficacy supported by emotion- and problem-focused coping. Combining such content may be advantageous for reducing BCS' FoR.Clinicaltrials.gov: link, NCT03384992.","PeriodicalId":51355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"13591053251354867"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144735203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This in-between state relates to liminality; however, the construct is used differently from one study to another, which creates indeterminacy. Our scoping review aims to clarify how liminality is theoretically defined and applied in psycho-oncology to describe IAC's experiences and identify the associated concepts. We searched five databases using English and French keywords, selecting 20 peer-reviewed studies from 454 retrieved. Studies associated liminality with words such as state, space, or experience. They used often liminality in contexts involving psychological, social, or physical difficulties. Despite differences across studies, convergent points emerged. We propose a tentative definition of liminality: a state where IAC face significant difficulties following cancer experience, which persist and marginalize them until they redefine their identity. Health professionals could identify IAC in liminal states to provide appropriate support.","PeriodicalId":51355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"13591053251351807"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144735204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores postpartum women's experiences with body image and eating behaviours using a qualitative phenomenological approach. Four semi-structured focus groups were conducted with 15 Australian postpartum women. Reflexive thematic analysis identified three key themes: (i) Internal guilt and self-judgement: Mothers are never the priority, mothers deprioritising their needs, (ii) External pressure and support, societal and social influences on postpartum expectations and (iii) Healthy habits and self-compassion, balancing diet, exercise and self-acceptance. Many participants experienced body dissatisfaction driven by societal standards and a desire to reclaim pre-pregnancy bodies, sometimes leading to maladaptive eating behaviours. Social support was both helpful and a source of pressure. This study highlights the complex relationship between postpartum body image and eating attitudes, emphasising the need for holistic healthcare interventions to support maternal well-being, body positivity and healthy eating practices.","PeriodicalId":51355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"13591053251355862"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144709748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its applicability in explaining intraindividual evolution of constructs over time remains under-researched. This study addresses this gap by conducting nine longitudinal N-of-1 studies to estimate how the HAPA constructs predict physical activity (PA) at the intraindividual level in breast cancer survivors over-time. PA actual behaviors (N = 338) of nine women survivors of breast cancer were observed over 6-weeks, and associations between HAPA constructs and PA were analyzed longitudinally. Time-series regression analyses revealed that self-efficacy and social-support significantly predicted participants' intention to engage PA. Recovery self-efficacy emerged as predictor of PA in three studies, while planning was predictor in one. Future interventions targeting PA after breast cancer should consider individual and daily variations, and should focus self-efficacy, social-support, and planning. This highlights the importance of tailoring interventions to promote PA to specific and individual needs.","PeriodicalId":51355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"13591053251347143"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144668945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
