Adapting the coping in deliberation (CODE) framework: A multi-method approach in the context of familial ovarian cancer risk management
2014, Patient Education and CounselingCitation Excerpt :This especially affects those at the highest risk, of whom up to two in five may develop ovarian cancer [16,17]. Second, previous research has shown the inherent complexity of decisions regarding RRSO, including the role of emotions, past experiences, personal preferences and the variety of coping responses [18–27]. These factors make this decision an ideal candidate for depiction in the CODE framework.
Adverse psychological outcomes in colorectal cancer screening: Does health anxiety play a role?
2006, Behaviour Research and TherapyCitation Excerpt :Individual differences in the way people process health-related information can influence its emotional impact. For example, people with a ‘monitoring’ attentional style are thought more likely to amplify health threats, to believe they are at risk of illness and to respond with greater levels of distress (Miller, Fang, Manne, Engstrom, & Daly, 1999). Such individual differences may in turn be modified by factors such as personal goals (Carver & Scheier, 1998), dispositional optimism (Andrykowski et al., 2002; Miller, Shoda, & Hurley, 1996), and current mood (Salovey & Birnbaum, 1989).
