It focuses on the degree of cancer worry changes the way they feel when they don't get the information and support. Researchers used surveys to gather data from these daughters, examining how their level of cancer worry influenced their needs for information and support and their psychological distress. They found that greater unmet support needs will intensify worry about cancer and then increase psychological stress. However, too much or too little worry about cancer will also heighten their psychological distress due to limited information. The findings suggest that healthcare providers, including nurses, should consider the level of worry about cancer when offering support and information to these individuals to help reduce their stress.</div></","PeriodicalId":54253,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Oncology Nursing","volume":"41 1","pages":"Article 151760"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142774830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
