Awareness-Based Coping with Fear of Cancer Programme

fatma ozlem uner, MSc

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. Due to advances in early diagnosis and treatment, the number of survivors of cancer has increased over the past 50 years. Therefore, the current standard of care for the detection of cervical neoplasm, a Papanicolaou smear and then a colposcopic biopsy, requires a high degree of diagnostic accuracy. In particular, the fear of developing cancer after cancer screening tests is becoming an increasingly significant problem, with an impact on psychosocial health in individuals. For people who are afraid of cancer, meditation and awareness training can make it easier for emotions to self-regulate in times of distress and pain. This study aim to conducted to determine the impact of the Awareness-Based Initiation Program on cancer fear and level of awareness in women undergoing colonoscopy.

Impact of the Awareness-Based Initiation Program on Cancer Fear and Awareness Level in Women Undergoing Colposcopy: Randomized Controlled Study

The Cancer Worry Scale was developed by Custers et al. (2014) and consists of 8 items. In the Likert scale, the responses are numbered from 0 to 4. In the scale, 0 is expressed as "almost never", while 4 is expressed as "almost always". In the scoring of the scale, the lowest score is 0 and the highest score is 32. Cronbach's alpha value was determined as 0.87.

Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale The scale developed by Cardaciotto et al. in 2008 is a five-point Likert-type scale consisting of 20 items. The scale measures awareness skills in two different dimensions: (i) discrimination (awareness), (ii) acceptance (acceptance). In the original validity and reliability study of the scale, Cronbach's alpha value was determined as 0.85. The two sub-dimensions of the scale were determined as discrimination (α=.81) and acceptance subscale (α=.86).

Italian patients suffering from mucinous neoplasms will follow a brief interview made by a psychologist. The interview of pilot group will be record to allow us to investigate and track detail that will highlight the comprehension of cancer worry scale and participants' suggestion. Moreover during the session will be ask to patients to fill inn Irritability-Depression-Anxiety Scale and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 to evaluate other psycho-emotional information about fear of cancer

An Italian language version of the Cancer Worry Scale is not available yet.

The aim of this study is to develop and validate the Italian version of Cancer Worry Scale through subjects at high risk of pancreatic cancer for familiarity/genetic predisposition, or suffering from premalignant cystic lesions.

The Fear of Cancer remains a significant problem for subjects enrolled surveillance programs. This emotional condition can influence the patients' wellbeing and their adherence to treatments. No results coming from the application of Cancer Worry Scale on high-risk of Pancreatic cancer individuals have been provided yet.

The fear is an emotional reaction that can be the result of interpretation and cognitions of perceived internal cues and/or external cues. To objectify this emotion, a cancer worry scale, has been developed to investigate the fear in female breast cancer survivors. The proposed scale assesses the psychological distress caused by fear of cancer.

The detection of high level of fear can prevent problematic behaviours, including anxious preoccupation, avoidance, and excessive checking, and moreover it can help patients to reduce difficulties in performing the individual's daily and social activities. The scale could use to evaluate the psychological burden produced by the enrolment in a surveillance program due to a certain predisposition to Pancreatic cancer. One step forward will be to manage those individuals with high-level of Fear of cancer, providing them a proper psychological support.

At the General and Pancreatic Surgery Unit of the Pancreas Institute, some experimental self-made psychological support programs that investigate different psychologic distress through validated instruments, like anxiety, depression, perceived stress and global assessment or quality of life have been built up. It must be noted that the scale is not available specifically for Pancreatic cancer (originally it was created for breast cancer) , and for the Italian language, thus it has never been applied in an italian surveillance/follow-up program dealing with Pancreatic cancer. Nowadays, there is only a well-structured paper assessing psychological factors associated with cancer worries in high risk participants in a pancreatic cancer surveillance program. Differently than what has been already reported by Konings et al, the cohorts of patients that will be considered are heterogeneous, reflecting more accurately the real-life scenario of the subjects to whom the scale is administered to. In addition, this may help to identify those individuals that may benefit from a psychological support, in order to prevent a withdrawal from the surveillance program.

However, a cut-off has not been provided yet. With next step study we'll aim at determining a cut-off for the detection clinically relevant worry for cancer.

the Syntactic and semantic equivalence of scale between two languages will be verified through the evaluation of differential item functioning analysis

Face Validity will be measured through the evaluation of Clarity/ comprehensibility of each item of cancer worry scale (format and meaning)

the comparison will be done considering the total score of scales
