▼ Background: Standard treatment for locally advanced
rectal cancer includes long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy
(NACRT) followed by definitive surgery. NACRT improves outcomes but
it is also associated with significant toxicities and declines in
physical fitness that may impede treatment response, symptom
management, and post-surgical recovery. Exercise may improve these
outcomes but the feasibility of exercise during NACRT has not been
established. Purpose: The primary objective of this phase I study
was to assess the safety and feasibility of an aerobic exercise
intervention in rectal cancer patients during and immediately after
NACRT. Changes in objective health-related fitness and
patient-reported outcomes were also tracked. Methods: Rectal cancer
patients scheduled to receive long-course NACRT followed by
definitive surgery were recruited from the Cross Cancer Institute
in Edmonton Alberta. All participants received a supervised
moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program 3 days/week during
NACRT followed by unsupervised aerobic exercise for ≥ 150
minutes/week after NACRT. Feasibility was determined by eligibility
rate, recruitment rate, follow-up rate, exercise adherence and
adverse events. Health-related fitness outcomes and
patient-reported outcomes were assessed pre-NACRT, post-NACRT and
pre-surgery. Results: Of 45 rectal cancer patients screened, 32
(71%) were eligible and 18 (56%) of those were recruited. Follow-up
post-NACRT was 83% for health-related fitness outcomes and 94% for
patient-reported outcomes. Attendance for the supervised exercise
sessions was 74%. The mean total aerobic exercise minutes/week was
222 ± 155 minutes for the unsupervised exercise. There were no
adverse events resulting from the exercise intervention. Most
health-related fitness outcomes and patient-reported outcomes
declined during NACRT and recovered from post-NACRT to pre-surgery.
For example, estimated VO2 max declined from pre- to post-NACRT
(mean change, -1.3 ml/kg/min; 95% CI, -3.6 to 1.7) and then
increased from post-NACRT to pre-surgery (mean change +2.4
ml/kg/min; 95% CI, -0.9 to 5.7). Conclusion: Aerobic exercise is
safe and feasible for rectal cancer patients during and after
NACRT. Phase II randomized trials to establish the harms and
benefits of aerobic exercise in this patient population are
warranted.

▼ This systematic review of text and opinion uncovered a rich vein of information on the experiences of health professionals with older adults sexually abused as children; and while the information may be particular to the cases described, it draws on a wide range of professional opinion. With a lack of empirical data of any quality to guide practice, this textual information can be used, thoughtfully, in clinical practice. The stories of these 38 older adult survivors demonstrate that they can be helped, and that they can change at any age (Relational Table 1.6 The Outcomes of Interventions, in Appendix I). Even if resolution is not possible, the older person‘s quality of life can be improved in many cases. This highlights the importance of health professionals acting to help; even the very old, the dementing and the dying, to find some release from their distress, which may have its roots in childhood sexual abuse many decades earlier. The first synthesised finding highlights the need for health professionals, at all levels, who are involved in the care of older adults, to understand how problems currently experienced by their older clients can be related to sexual abuse in childhood and the dynamic consequences of the abuse across the older person‘s entire life course. As an example, this cohort of older adult survivors may express their emotional distress in somatic rather than psychological ways because of the values that they have grown up with. The second synthesised finding asserts that health professionals should use their understanding of the effects of childhood sexual abuse across the life course, to assist in the identification of older clients who may be survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Health professionals with this understanding, together with appropriate values and attitudes, should then act to effectively guide care. It may be particularly important for health professionals to enquire about the abuse history of older clients presenting with chronic affect disorders or substance abuse.

▼ One in three New Zealand women has experienced Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) at some stage in their lives, with the vast majority of these women disclosing to a family member or friend at some stage during or after the relationship. Therefore, it is important to understand the dynamics involved with this disclosure. This study draws on feminist perspectives and a grounded theory methodology to examine six women’s experiences with these dynamics. These women reported being very careful about when they disclosed, often going to great lengths to hide the abuse, and who they disclosed to. Furthermore, they explained that they felt a number of barriers to disclosure, both of a personal and social nature. They also described a number of different reactions they received, both negative and positive. In reflecting on their situations these women had come to a number of realisations, while during the interviews a number of observations were made, particularly regarding the strength they showed. In bringing their experiences together, it was clear that upon disclosure women require their family and friends to listen non-judgementally; help them to understand IPV; support the woman’s decisions; and offer tangible support if necessary. However, negative experiences were not uncommon, and it was hypothesised that there are two forms of this: passive, which comes about through a lack of understanding; and active, which comes about through a conscious decision to be unsupportive. In concluding, it was suggested that widespread education be introduced, and public awareness campaigns be widened, to increase public understanding of IPV.

▼ Many scholars across disciplines have highlighted and critiqued the existing dominant narratives of sex trafficking circulating in popular representations. These dominant narratives are also referred to as the neoabolitionist framework, which tends to tell a story of clear-cut criminals and victims. Recently, academics have advocated for the human rights framework, which aims to empower victims and examines the problem of human trafficking as part of complex systems rather than a phenomenon among deviant individuals. However, there is a gap in these scholarly conversations when thinking about how these frameworks apply to self-representations of survivors. This thesis looks at ten sex trafficking
survivor narratives to examine the ways these narratives align with other representations. First, I use Kenneth Burke’s notion of terministic screens to examine how the author's context and publication platform affect the ways in which these women can represent themselves, in order to complicate ideas about the rhetorical possibilities of self-representation. Next, using Burke's theories on tragic and comic framing, I argue that the neoabolitionist framework tends to frame the issue tragically, while the human rights framework tends to frame the issue comically, and I examine the ways in which the women's narratives subscribe to either framework and/or how they blend them. While the neoabolitionist framework and human rights framework of sex trafficking are set up as binaries in the scholarly literature, my findings reveal that survivors combine these frameworks when telling their own story. This blending of frameworks suggests an alternative perspective, or in Burke’s words, perspective by incongruity. The conclusion of this thesis suggests how the findings from survivors can help inform and reshape the ways in which activists, scholars, government officials, media, and law enforcement represent sex trafficking survivors to more accurately reflect their lived experience.

▼ Background: The rate of childhood cancer survivors has grown to nearly 80% in the past few decades. Current evidence reveals that primary care providers report feeling unprepared with inadequate knowledge about the variable types of late effects and diagnostic screenings recommended for childhood cancer survivors (Dulko et al., 2013; Potosky et al., 2011). However, the current evidence reflects data mainly from physicians. None of the current literature addresses the specific preparedness of primary care nurse practitioners. Such data would be helpful in better understanding how education and current resources affect nurse practitioner preparedness for such a narrow, but growingly prevalent, patient population.Purpose: To assess primary care nurse practitioner preparedness when caring for childhood cancer survivors.Methods: This descriptive study obtained data using a survey disseminated to primary care nurse practitioner members of the Puget Sound Nurse Practitioner Association in Seattle, WA. Analysis was conducted by calculating the means and modes for each survey item. Results: This sample (n=5) revealed that 50% of nurse practitioners identify as feeling adequately trained to care for childhood cancer survivors. Time and insurance coverage were not found to be barriers to care. Less than 50% of nurse practitioners utilized guidelines from the Children’s Oncology Group. The most wanted resources included the Children’s Oncology Group guidelines,
survivor care plans, and electronic health record prompts. Discussion: According to the results of this study imply that nurse practitioners in the Seattle area feel adequately prepared to care for childhood cancer survivors. In addition, nurse practitioners identify that clinical practice guidelines may be beneficial in guiding their care. However, certain limitations, including small sample size, may affect the trustworthiness of the results. Thus, more research is warranted to gather more comprehensive knowledge and understanding regarding nurse practitioner preparedness when caring for childhood cancer survivors in the primary care setting.

▼ In 2013, the American Heart Association estimated that 359,400 Americans experienced cardiac arrest and only 9.5% of those people survived. In the 2015 American Heart Association guidelines for Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), therapeutic hypothermia (targeted temperature management) has been declared the gold standard of treatment after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) when the patient has persistent coma. Some of these patients live, some don’t. For those at the bedside caring for therapeutic hypothermia patients, this leaves many unanswered questions. The purpose of this study is to understand the lived experience of survivors of pre-hospital arrest treated with therapeutic hypothermia. Understanding this phenomenon will contribute to the science of nursing practice and assist those who provide direct care for the patients better understand the experience from the patient’s perspective as well as areas of care that may need to be reassessed and improved. The methodology that was utilized for this qualitative study was phenomenology. A total of three participants were recruited for this study. There were two women and one man whose ages ranged from 51 to 69 years. Themes uncovered were: Loss of time, urgency to leave the hospital, physical changes, lack of end-of-life planning,cooper and acknowledgement of own death. These findings can help bedside providers better understand the needs of the patient as well as the importance of discharge education and follow-up care.

▼ The present study examined public perceptions of and willingness to provide social support to survivors of sexual assault presenting with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on the survivor’s gender (male vs. female), psychotherapy treatment-seeking status (no treatment vs. dropped out after four sessions vs. still in treatment), and participant gender (male vs. female). Participants (n = 178) read one of six vignettes based on a 2 (gender of
survivor of sexual assault: male vs. female) X 3 (treatment-seeking status: no treatment vs. dropped out of treatment after four sessions vs. still in treatment) factorial design describing the life circumstances and PTSD symptoms of a
survivor who had been sexually assaulted six months prior; they then completed manipulation check and perceptions, social support, and demographics questionnaires. Results indicated that male participants were significantly more likely than female participants to demonstrate negative social reactions (i.e., blaming the victim, treating the
survivor differently, attempting to control the survivor’s actions, encouraging distraction as a means of coping, and focusing on their own needs rather than the survivor’s), and female participants were significantly more likely than male participants to demonstrate positive social reactions (i.e., providing emotional support/belief and practical support) after the
survivor was sexually assaulted. Results also suggested that survivors who were described as “still in treatment” were perceived more positively, and participants were significantly less likely to attempt to control their actions and decisions compared to survivors described as not having sought treatment or having dropped out of therapy after four sessions. Implications are discussed.

▼ Previous studies have shown a link between survivors’ stroke severity and
family caregiver burden, however other factors may contribute to this burden. Burden
specific to post-stroke dysphagia and the consequences of incongruence between care
recipient and care partner in their perception of the impacts of the care recipient’s
dysphagia are potential variables that are unexplored. The present study aimed to
determine the role of partner congruence in the perceived mealtime impacts of poststroke
dysphagia on caregiver burden. Twenty-seven spousal dyads consisting of a
stroke survivor experiencing post-stroke dysphagia and their spousal caregiver were
surveyed concerning their perceptions of the logistical and social impacts of dysphagia
on mealtimes and stroke and dysphagia severity. Dyadic congruence in perceptions of
mealtime logistical impacts, but not mealtime social impacts, was associated with
increased caregiver burden. Additionally, increased survivor dysphagia severity and
caregivers’ perceived mealtime logistical impacts were also associated with increased
caregiver burden. These results can guide speech-language pathologists and other health
professionals in their interventions for clients with dysphagia and their families.

▼ With the decrease in burn mortality following improved burn care facilities and methods, burn survivors are often left with residual physical and psychosocial consequences that they have to cope with requiring adaptation and modification of lifestyle. Burn survivors habitually receive excellent treatment for their wounds while in hospital but may experience challenges due to disruption of care and rehabilitation after discharge. This aim of the study was to explore and describe the lived experiences of burn survivors’ adaptation post hospital discharge. A qualitative, hermeneutic, phenomenological design using an interpretive framework was used. A purposeful sampling was used in the selection of nine participants who were above 18 years and had been admitted to the Limpopo Burn Unit while still undergoing reviews at the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Clinic. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using unstructured open-ended
questions. Data were analysed using the Colaizzi’s strategy. Three main themes emerged from the data, along with sub-themes. (a)The burn survival experience involved the person in totality with reference to their internal and external environment. (b)The process of recovery was lengthy and started in hospital and continued post discharge at home. (c) Reclaiming their life and finding new meaning was a process of adaptation. The core of the participants’ needs included the need for the care and rehabilitation of the whole person in terms of their physical and psychosocial aspects, the importance of the survivor’s involvement in his/her care, and the rehabilitation. Health care personnel and family support during this difficult time should be available in order to enable the survivors to cope and adapt effectively and reclaim their lives.

▼ Cancer survivors typically adapt well to life following remission; however, some patients still experience lingering negative moods that may develop into depression. There are multiple factors that can contribute to depressive symptoms from somatic symptoms, to emotion and social concerns. When analyzing these contributing factors, an underlying theory of a connection between the symptoms of depression and inflammation was revealed. Although this was not shown to be a causal association, it set forward some theories on the pathogenesis of depression in cancer survivors who may have persistent inflammation following treatment. As cancer patients are a growing group due to improvements in treatment and an aging general population, early identification of high-risk survivors and research into new treatment methods is essential. Depression in survivors can lead to an inability to follow through on medical care, decreased quality of life and poorer patient health outcomes. Currently, depressive symptoms are treated primarily on an individual basis, determining if there is a common underlying biological mechanism that could help scientists develop new guidelines for the treatment of survivors.
Research studies demonstrated interdependence between conditions such as chronic pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, cognitive impairment and depression. Current published literature on each of these conditions was explored and while each of these conditions have demonstrated connections to inflammatory pathways and specific cytokines, there does not appear to be one common underlying mechanism. Preliminary research has presented some options for future treatments that can mitigate the severity of the inflammation caused during traditional cancer therapies. These preventative measures address certain cytokine pathways that have been associated with negative side effects. As emotional and social concerns can add to a survivor’s stress causing stimulation of inflammatory pathways, evidence-based methods for reducing stress have been discussed and include exercise, psychosocial and occupational therapy interventions as well as legislative advocacy for better insurance coverage.
There are some limitations in the current literature on the topic as much of the
survivor research centers on patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer. There are several diverse subgroups of cancer survivors including childhood, adolescent and young adult, and adult cancer survivors, and comprehensive research should be conducted across these cohorts to ascertain which groups are at a higher risk for certain symptoms and stresses. Furthermore, research into novel treatment options has focused mainly on pharmacological solutions to the negative impacts of chemotherapy. While several studies have theorized about possible, persistent biological mechanisms underlying radiotherapy, few drugs have been suggested or developed to combat the late effects of inflammation including fibrosis. Many of the suggested treatments can be given as a co-treatment…

▼ Cancer represents a significant global health burden. With improvements in detection and treatment survivors represent a growing population with complex health needs. increased late-effects, such as pain and cardio-metabolic diseases, have been attributed to systemic inflammation, however, the underlying mechanisms are yet to be fully elucidated. Exercise has been shown to ameliorate many of the adverse impacts due to cancer and its treatment, including reducing systemic inflammation, yet few cancer survivors meet the recommended physical activity (PA) guidelines. Additionally, the optimal characteristics of exercise to reverse the adverse effects of cancer treatments remain to be determined. The aim was to investigate the barriers to and facilitators of exercise for cancer survivors. I then tested the impact of exercise intensity on systemic inflammation and common inflammation-associated side effect, pain. Finally, I investigated a potential mechanism linking chemotherapy and irradiation to systemic inflammation in an animal model. A mixed-methods systematic review determined that treatment-related side effects, lack of time and fatigue were the most substantial barriers to exercise for survivors. I investigated the effect of exercise intensity on pain thresholds before and after a short training period in 14 adult survivors of cancer. I found that high intensity exercise increased acute pain thresholds with no change after low intensity, but that this difference between intensities was lost after a short training period. I then investigated the effect of high and low intensity exercise on systemic markers of inflammation. Exercise at either intensity had no effect on common markers of inflammation, however, low intensity exercise decreased chemokine CCL2, a pro-inflammatory chemokine, with no response to high intensity exercise. In C57BL/6J mice, I found that chemotherapy and total body irradiation (TBI) significantly altered gut microbiota diversity and increased abundance of genera associated with inflammation. This thesis found that low intensity exercise training may be effective at reducing pain and some markers of inflammation in cancer survivors, which may be a viable exercise option for survivors with significant barriers to exercise. Furthermore, persisting disruption of the gut microbiota after treatment results in a shift towards a more inflammatory microbiota composition, which may impact on systemic inflammation.

▼ Childhood cancer survivors are at increased risk for subsequent neoplasms (SNs), but the incidence beyond age 40 and associations with therapeutic exposures have not been well- described. Among 14,364 childhood cancer survivors diagnosed between 1970 and 1986, 3,171 had an attained age ≥40 years at the time of last contact. Cumulative incidence of SNs, standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and excess absolute risk of subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMNs), and relative risks (RR) for SMNs and non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), were calculated. In total, 679 SNs were diagnosed ≥40 years of age, including 196 SMNs, 419 NMSCs, 21 non-malignant meningiomas, and 43 other benign neoplasms. At age 55, the cumulative incidence of new SNs and SMNs occurring beyond age 40 was 34.6% (95% CI 28.7-40.6) and 16.3% (95% CI 11.7-20.9), respectively. Survivors were twice as likely as the general population to be diagnosed with a SMN after age 40 (SIR=2.2, 95% CI 1.9-2.5). Among SMNs, risk was increased for breast cancer (SIR=5.5, 95% CI 4.5-6.7), renal cancer (SIR=3.9, 95% CI 2.0-7.5), soft tissue sarcoma (SIR=2.6, 95% CI 1.5-4.4), and thyroid cancer (SIR=1.9, 95% CI 1.0-3.5). Female sex (RR=1.9, 95% CI 1.3-2.6, P<0.001) and therapeutic radiation exposure (RR=2.2, 95% CI 1.4-3.3, P<0.001) were associated with higher risk for SMN in multivariable analysis. Even beyond 40 years of age, survivors of childhood cancer remain at increased risk for treatment-related SNs. These data suggest the need for lifelong monitoring and should inform anticipatory guidance provided to childhood cancer survivors.

▼ Sex trafficking is a public health issue in the United States. There is currently little understanding of what survivors need to successfully reintegrate into society. Given the scarcity of evidence-based research, a scoping review of sex trafficking in the United States was conducted, along with qualitative interviews with both survivors and key informants. This sort of research is necessary to determine best practices and gaps in service provision.

▼ In 2005, the Surviving Katrina and Rita in Houston (SKRH) project formed in response to the largest sudden diaspora in United States history, which drove residents of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama into the Houston area. Within the SKRH framework,
survivor-narrators and
survivor-interviewers engaged as experts in collective learning and co-creation of new cultural knowledge by participating in social therapeutic communities (TCs) through
survivor-to-
survivor (S2S) unstructured interviews. Recorded, coded, and archived, these stories became a means to create new community and cultural understanding during recovery helping victims cope and heal through social connection. In this essay, I engage a qualitative culture-centered approach utilizing narrative inquiry of the SKRH interviews. I investigate what we, as individuals, families, neighborhoods, communities, grassroots organizations, non-profits, NGO’s, corporations, government agencies, healthcare providers, social workers, therapists, et al., can understand about the unique culture of
survivor community created by and for victims of natural disasters. In addition, I examine the magnitude of the survivors’ losses, how to be culturally sensitive to their comprehensive needs, how to actively and culturally listen to shared narratives, how to engage in best practices for post-crisis recovery communication, and how to help survivors regain a sense of community and support during rebound, recovery, and rebuilding cycles.

▼ This study was undertaken in order to research on
the trauma caused by the
Matebeleland Massacre of 1982-87 in
Tsholotsho Zimbabwe. This dissertation is two
pronged: one part is
to ascertain the trauma in the community twenty years after and
the second aspect is to suggest interventions that can be applied.
The history of the country and the political background to the
conflict is the most
rational way to explain why this may have
happened. This history has been used to
justify the Massacre and
is being used continuously even today by those in power. If
people
do not learn from their history they are bound to repeat it,
(interview with
Phineahs Dube 4/8/20080). Trauma has been
investigated using a qualitative social
reconstruction narrative
theory by way of cultural world view and not medical
psychological
means. Investigating people’s painful experiences and emotions has
not been easy. A suitable framework and trauma measure which are
scientifically
approved had to be found and used in order to
validate and verify the results in a
manner that the outcome can
be accepted scientifically and internationally.
Chronic ‘on going’
trauma or Long-term Psycho-social Crisis is the kind of trauma
that the researcher has come up with if conventional medical jargon
is to be avoided.
The survivors can not fully comprehend what
happened to them but the greatest
injury and pain is caused by how
the community as a whole was under threat of
annihilation by the
Gukurahundi, The name itself is infamous and points to the brutal
nature of the operation of this North Korean trained army battalion
known simply, as
the 5th Brigade. The interventions suggested are
psycho-social since the context is rural Tsholotsho
Matebeleland,
culturally, a socio-centric set up with in an African world view,
(Mbiti
1969) and (Mugambi and Kirima 1976).
The Church is
proposed as the agent for change in the community as light and
salt
due to its proximity to the community. The interventions
include funerals services
and rituals, testimonies, and archival
processes for the sake of prevention and
collective memory. The
psycho-social cultural approach takes the
survivor from
being just
an individual with a personal problem to a collective memory of
experience. (Becker 2000: 18) This gives practical theology an
opportunity for a
logical conclusion of all theologizing which is
a theology of praxis or engagement.

Towards a social construction of retrenchment survivor

▼ More than 770 000 employees in South Africa have
been made redundant since the start of the economic crisis in the
third quarter of 2008. Unfortunately, companies often do not
anticipate, or prepare for, the lower morale and lower productivity
experienced by the survivors. However, despite the fact that
retrenchment survivors are the linchpin of a company‟s future
profitability, limited research on their experiences is available
in South Africa. Until recently, the survivors of retrenchment were
considered fortunate and the general consensus is that survivors
are grateful to have kept their jobs. But is it really that simple?
The study explores the perceptions and experiences of survivors of
retrenchment in the automotive industry. The study was conducted
among retrenchment survivors operating at junior management, middle
management and senior management roles in various functional areas
in an Automotive Manufacturer in South Africa. Qualitative data was
collected by means of conducting semi-structured interviews, which
provided insight into the beliefs, attitudes, perceptions and
experiences of the participants, as well as by the analysis of
company documents. Following an in-depth analysis based on
constructivist grounded theory guidelines,
survivor denial in
varied manifestations emerged as the core concept. This core
concept was underpinned by the survivors‟ overall perception of the
retrenchment experience, the affective and behavioural responses of
survivors, as well some aggravating factors. The result of the
analysis is a framework for understanding
survivor experiences
during retrenchments, as well as suggested interventions for
organisations that are contemplating, or have already commenced
with retrenchments to reduce the anticipated negative effects of
the retrenchment process. This study demonstrates that retrenchment
brings to the fore a multitude of inadequately understood emotional
reactions and that, if retrenchment is not properly implemented and
managed, can result in a significant amount of stress. Appropriate
analysis of individual responses and the facilitation of
constructive coping strategies is the starting point towards more
effective intervention. Copyright

▼ This dissertation work investigates two types of biases in population-based studies of Parkinson’s disease (PD), one is survivor bias in estimating the association between PD and cancer, the other is exposure misclassification due to residential mobility and time-varying exposure. Negative associations between PD and cancer have been found in epidemiological studies. Several mechanisms were proposed to explain such reported inverse associations. In the first and second part of this work we propose two similar survivor bias mechanisms that may account for the observed negative associations with cancer both prior to and after the diagnosis of PD as an alternative explanation. Using a large Danish population-based case-control study of Parkinson’s disease as an example, we utilize causal theory, Monte Carlo methods and inverse probability-of-censoring weights techniques to quantitatively investigate how the observed negative association can be explained by the hypothesized bias. These results suggest that for cancer both before and after the diagnosis of PD, survivor bias could be an alternative explanation for the observed association between cancer and PD with reasonable bias structure and assumptions. In the last part of this work we investigate possible exposure misclassification due to residential mobility and changes in pesticide application using a California population-based case-control study of Parkinson’s disease as an illustration. We simulate scenarios where detailed residential histories were lacking and only the enrollment address was used as a proxy for all addresses to estimate long-term pesticide exposures. Results show that the exposures could be either over- or under- estimated depending on pesticide, time period of interest, as well as threshold for identifying the binary exposure variables. The exposure misclassification is not necessarily non-differential and the direction of the bias is inconsistent. When estimating long-term environmental exposures using one address only it may result in exposure misclassification and not always guarantee non-differentiality.

▼ Background: Physical activity (PA) has been shown to
improve health among cancer survivors yet the majority of survivors
do not meet the recommended public health guidelines. In addition,
research suggests that the influence of PA correlates may vary
between cancer types but little research exists that directly
compares correlates among groups. Recent PA behaviour change
interventions among cancer survivors have used methods such as
face-to-face, telephone counselling, email, and print-based
materials, however, based on the broad reach and possible cost
savings, internet-delivered programs may be a more viable option to
achieve PA behaviour change. Purpose: The purpose of this
dissertation was to examine and compare the correlates and
preferences among cancer survivors living in Nova Scotia, and to
develop an internet-delivered, home-based behaviour change program.
Methods: Study I was a cross-sectional, population based survey
that measured the PA, Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB)-based
social cognitive constructs, PA preferences, and demographic and
medical characteristics of 741 breast, prostate, and colorectal
cancer survivors. Study II was a randomized controlled behaviour
change trial that examined the feasibility and preliminary efficacy
of an internet-delivered behaviour change program designed to
increase PA levels among 95 breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer
survivors. Participants in the intervention group (n=48) visited a
web site to track their PA and receive TPB based educational
materials over 9 weeks. The usual care group (n=47) was asked to
maintain their current routine. Assessments were conducted at
baseline, post-intervention and 12-week follow-up. Study II
secondary outcomes assessed quality of life (QoL) and motivational
outcomes. Results: In Study I, it was found that the majority of
survivors were insufficiently active for health benefits. There
were differences found when assessing the correlates of PA among
the three cancer groups, specifically intention was significantly
associated with PA for colorectal cancer survivors only; planning
was significantly associated with PA for breast and prostate cancer
survivors only; and perceived behavioural control (PBC) was
significantly associated with PA for prostate cancer survivors only
(Paper 1). Study I also concluded there were differences in PA
program and counselling preferences based on cancer group (Paper
2). Results showed low rates of strength exercise and correlates
did not vary much between cancer groups (Paper 3). In Study II, we
had a 23% recruitment rate with 88% and 84% retention at
post-intervention and 12-week follow-up respectively. Engagement
rate were low at 26% of participants completing the modules,
however participant satisfaction was high (Paper 4).
Non-significant increases in total PA were found between the
groups, specifically among those who were not meeting PA guidelines
at baseline (Paper 4). However, there were no changes for QoL
outcomes (Paper 5). There were no positive changes in TPB outcomes,
with negative…

▼ Abstract Purpose: While most children diagnosed with cancer survive their initial disease, the intensive treatments they receive place them at risk for late effects. Long-term follow-up (LTFU) care is recommended for cancer survivors for surveillance and early detection of late effects. Knowledge, or lack thereof, regarding diagnosis, treatment and late effects is an important barrier and/or facilitator for attending LTFU care in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors. The purpose of our study was to examine the extent of knowledge in Canadian AYA survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer, and identify factors associated with such knowledge. Methods: Survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer, between the ages of 15 and 26 years, were recruited from three pediatric oncology centres. Patients were invited to participate in the study through mail and clinic recruitment. A questionnaire booklet, including the Cancer Knowledge Survey that asked questions about cancer, treatment and late effects, was administered to collect necessary information. Clinical data was extracted from hospital records to validate participants’ answers. Results: 250 (response rate= 75.5 percent) out of 331 patients invited to participate completed the questionnaire booklet. 18 (7.2 percent) participants lacked information regarding their type of cancer, whereas 25 (10.3 percent) participants were ‘not knowledgeable’ of their treatment. Lack of knowledge regarding treatment was associated with being non-white [odds ratio= 0.3 (0.2-0.6)] compared with white. Also, 83 (33.5 percent) participants were unaware of their late effects. Lack of knowledge regarding late effects was associated with younger age [odds ratio= 1.2 (1.1-1.3)], and having leukemia compared with embryonal tumour [odds ratio= 3.41 (1.10-10.6)]. Conclusion: Results from this study highlights important knowledge deficits, especially in terms of understanding risk of late effects from cancer treatments. Findings from this study can be used to design programs and interventions aimed at increasing cancer knowledge in AYA cancer survivors.

▼ More than 770 000 employees in South Africa have been
made redundant since the start of the economic crisis in the third
quarter of 2008. Unfortunately, companies often do not anticipate,
or prepare for, the lower morale and lower productivity experienced
by the survivors. However, despite the fact that retrenchment
survivors are the linchpin of a company‟s future profitability,
limited research on their experiences is available in South Africa.
Until recently, the survivors of retrenchment were considered
fortunate and the general consensus is that survivors are grateful
to have kept their jobs. But is it really that simple? The study
explores the perceptions and experiences of survivors of
retrenchment in the automotive industry. The study was conducted
among retrenchment survivors operating at junior management, middle
management and senior management roles in various functional areas
in an Automotive Manufacturer in South Africa. Qualitative data was
collected by means of conducting semi-structured interviews, which
provided insight into the beliefs, attitudes, perceptions and
experiences of the participants, as well as by the analysis of
company documents. Following an in-depth analysis based on
constructivist grounded theory guidelines,
survivor denial in
varied manifestations emerged as the core concept. This core
concept was underpinned by the survivors‟ overall perception of the
retrenchment experience, the affective and behavioural responses of
survivors, as well some aggravating factors. The result of the
analysis is a framework for understanding
survivor experiences
during retrenchments, as well as suggested interventions for
organisations that are contemplating, or have already commenced
with retrenchments to reduce the anticipated negative effects of
the retrenchment process. This study demonstrates that retrenchment
brings to the fore a multitude of inadequately understood emotional
reactions and that, if retrenchment is not properly implemented and
managed, can result in a significant amount of stress. Appropriate
analysis of individual responses and the facilitation of
constructive coping strategies is the starting point towards more
effective intervention. Copyright

▼ This study was undertaken in order to research on the
trauma caused by the
Matebeleland Massacre of 1982-87 in
Tsholotsho Zimbabwe. This dissertation is two
pronged: one part is
to ascertain the trauma in the community twenty years after and
the second aspect is to suggest interventions that can be applied.
The history of the country and the political background to the
conflict is the most
rational way to explain why this may have
happened. This history has been used to
justify the Massacre and
is being used continuously even today by those in power. If
people
do not learn from their history they are bound to repeat it,
(interview with
Phineahs Dube 4/8/20080). Trauma has been
investigated using a qualitative social
reconstruction narrative
theory by way of cultural world view and not medical
psychological
means. Investigating people’s painful experiences and emotions has
not been easy. A suitable framework and trauma measure which are
scientifically
approved had to be found and used in order to
validate and verify the results in a
manner that the outcome can
be accepted scientifically and internationally.
Chronic ‘on going’
trauma or Long-term Psycho-social Crisis is the kind of trauma
that the researcher has come up with if conventional medical jargon
is to be avoided.
The survivors can not fully comprehend what
happened to them but the greatest
injury and pain is caused by how
the community as a whole was under threat of
annihilation by the
Gukurahundi, The name itself is infamous and points to the brutal
nature of the operation of this North Korean trained army battalion
known simply, as
the 5th Brigade. The interventions suggested are
psycho-social since the context is rural Tsholotsho
Matebeleland,
culturally, a socio-centric set up with in an African world view,
(Mbiti
1969) and (Mugambi and Kirima 1976).
The Church is
proposed as the agent for change in the community as light and
salt
due to its proximity to the community. The interventions
include funerals services
and rituals, testimonies, and archival
processes for the sake of prevention and
collective memory. The
psycho-social cultural approach takes the
survivor from
being just
an individual with a personal problem to a collective memory of
experience. (Becker 2000: 18) This gives practical theology an
opportunity for a
logical conclusion of all theologizing which is
a theology of praxis or engagement.

▼ Organizations are operating within a difficult economic environment and in the face of fierce world competition (George & Jones, 1992 cited in Ndlovu & Brijball Parumasur, 2005). To remain competitive globally and for economic reasons, Theron and Dodd (2011) postulate that organizations sporadically have to retrench workers. In order to reduce expenses as well as costs and losses to the organization, they have to restructure and reduce their headcount and the typical form of engaging in the restructuring is by means of downsizing. Makawatsakul and Kleiner (2003) posit that employee morale and loyalty tend to be the first unintended casualties of a downsizing strategy. The repercussions of downsizing is that it jeopardizes employees’ commitment
and morale to a large extent (Muthuvuloo 8Rose, 2005) and survivors thus experience lower job and organizational satisfaction (Baruch & Hind, 2000) as this creates insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. Survivors are also often forced to make a sideway or downward move in their job, may experience a drop in pay and status, become stressed by the amount of work left by departing colleagues that they would now need to undertake and worry about the security of their new position in the organization (Chipunza & Berry 2010). In light of the above, the aim of the study was to investigate the organizational commitment of those employees who survived and remained with the retail organization following a downsizing process. For the purpose of this study a
quantitative, non probability convenience sampling design was utilized. The sample (N=150) comprised of both males and females from different ethnic groups. A self developed biographical questionnaire and the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) were used to gather data. Statistical analyses involved both descriptive and inferential statistics (the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient, Multiple Regression Analysis and Analysis of Variance). The results of the study indicate that employees display below average levels of commitment to the organization. More specifically, a direct, positive relationship was found between normative and affective commitment. Furthermore, a statistically significant relationship was found between
affective and continuance commitment. Statistically significant relationships were found between the biographical characteristics namely, tenure, gender and age, and organizational commitment. Limitations of the current study are put forth and recommendations are made with respect to future research and for the organization.

▼ Declared a disease by the AMA in 2013, obesity claims the lives of over 2.8 million people annually in the U.S. Mounting evidence indicates weight bias is encountered in the interactions with health care professionals; resulting in a decreased health-related quality of life and shorter survival rates. Knowingly or unknowingly, healthcare providers communicate forms of weight bias when they associate negative traits and assumptions with obesity to their patients. Using a descriptive phenomenology methodology, the purpose of this research study is to explore and describe the phenomenon of weight bias as experienced by overweight and obese cancer survivors in their interactions with oncology nurses and physicians.
The study findings report heavy underlying implications related to the psychosocial and cultural aspects related to the overweight and obese cancer
survivor population that oncology nurses and doctors are not addressing in their clinical practice. There are strong implications related to the coexisting factors including large body size and increased risks of many types of cancer, yet often nurses and doctors fail to contemplate what constitutes health outcomes for overweight and obese cancer survivors. Findings from this study explicate and illuminate disparities within the oncological healthcare settings. Evidence from this study found oncologists simply do not “want to get involved” in the weight-related implications of cancer. One participant called it a disservice and others simply described it as ignoring the elephant in the room. Additionally, the study findings discovered emerging themes denoting the participants’ positive experiences with their cancer care.
The current study advanced the understanding of how overweight and obese cancer survivors experience oncology health care. Given the prevalence of obesity in the U. S. and permeation of weight bias throughout the healthcare industry, meaningful remedies are needed to protect patients against weight bias. Findings may be used to further the state-of-the-knowledge by informing oncology healthcare nurses and physicians of tactics to change current practice to include culturally sensitive, holistic, and respectful delivery of care for the overweight and obese cancer
survivor.

▼ Kanker is een levensbedreigende ziekte die wereldwijd 12,7 miljoen mensen treft per jaar. Door effectievere behandelingen en voortijdige herkenning neemt het aantal kankerpatiënten toe. Maar nadat de ziekte succesvol is behandeld blijken veel ex-kankerpatiënten behoefte aan informatie en ondersteuning te hebben in verband met mentale en fysieke problemen. De huidige nazorg is voor een grote groep voormalige kankerpatiënten niet tevredenstellend. Deze studie betreft een kwalitatief onderzoek dat onderdeel is van een groter project dat tot doel heeft een online gepersonaliseerde nazorginterventie, de Kanker Nazorg Wijzer, voor ex-kankerpatiënten te ontwikkelen en te testen. De interventie heeft tot doel om het zelfmanagement van ex-kankerpatiënten te vergroten onder andere door te voorzien in de behoefte aan professionele steun en informatie.
De hier gerapporteerde studie is bedoeld om inzicht te krijgen in de nazorgbehoeften van voormalig kankerpatiënten. Hiervoor werden de informatie en ondersteuningsbehoeften van hen onderzocht. Daarnaast werd nagegaan hoe een internet interventie volgens de deelnemers vormgegeven zou moeten worden. Eveneens werden de verschillen en overeenkomsten in nazorgbehoeften en wensen voor een online interventie tussen de kankersoorten, de leeftijdsgroepen en sekse onderzocht. De bevindingen uit deze studie hebben input geleverd voor de ontwikkeling van de Kanker Nazorg Wijzer.

▼ Consumer and community involvement in research and health
services is an increasingly well recognised area of research
methodology and practice, yet one which is not well documented in
the published literature (Staniszewska et al., 2017). When
applied specifically to youth mental health research this absence
of documentation is particularly pronounced (Mawn, Welsh, Stain,
& Windebank, 2015). In the instances where it has been directly
examined, it has typically been from the point of view of
researchers, not young people.
The Youth Involvement in Mental Health Research project sought to
investigate this issue by examining the characteristics,
motivations and experiences of the young people involved in youth
mental health research. The project specifically focused on the
experiences of young people and researchers who were part of an
Australian multiinstitutional cooperative research program (the
Young and Well Cooperative Research Centre (the CRC)) which
involved young people in every research project and at an
organisational level.
A multi-method approach was used involving five interconnected
studies. Three studies used qualitative methods: focus groups,
interviews and analysis of existing data; and two used
quantitative methods: a longitudinal study and an online
cross-sectional survey. Across these studies, four participant
groups were considered: young people aged between 18 and 25 who
were involved in the research projects of the CRC, including
young people who were part of the youth advisory group of the CRC
(the Youth Brains Trust), other young Australians aged 18 to 25,
and researchers who conducted research as part of the CRC. This
breadth has allowed the perspectives of a
range of different stakeholder groups to be compared and
contrasted.
This study is the first comprehensive description of the young
people who were involved in an extensive program of youth mental
health research. The current literature is predominately
small-scale studies of single instances of involvement, which are
mainly focused on the researcher’s experience. By contrast, the
current project’s use of
five studies which each examine different facets of the young
people who are involved provides a greater level of depth and
breadth.
The results of the project show that young people who are
involved in youth mental health research have higher rates of
mental ill health than the rest of the population. They are
motivated to do this work to further their relationships with
researchers and each other, and to gain new skills. Their
involvement entails a wide range of traditional and
non-traditional research activities such as being involved in
project design and planning, and is largely a positive
experience.
The project represents an important step in the field of consumer
and community…

Posttraumatic Growth Among Parent Survivors of SuicideDespite the burden of suicide in the United States and anecdotal clinical opinion that this cause of death creates a unique form of grief among those left behind, there is a dearth of research on those who are bereaved by suicide. There is some limited evidence that "suicide survivors" may be at higher risk for posttraumatic stress disorder or prolonged grief. Growing theory in the positive psychology literature suggests that trauma, such as suicide bereavement, may also promote growth within the confines of distress, referred to as posttraumatic growth. Posttraumatic growth is a construct of positive psychological change that occurs over five domains: relating to others, new possibilities, personal strength, spiritual change, and appreciation of life. Previous research has suggested that reflective rumination predicts posttraumatic growth and that it occurs closer to the traumatic event than farther away. However, posttraumatic growth and variables that may contribute to or undermine it, such as demographic variables, rumination subtypes, prolonged grief, resilience, personality factors, and mood states have not been previously studied in survivors of suicide. The present study investigated posttraumatic growth and these variables among a convenience sample of 154 parents bereaved by the suicide death of their child within two years. Multiple regression analyses revealed that resilience inversely predicted posttraumatic growth scores. Resilience also inversely predicted posttraumatic growth factors of relating to others and new possibilities. Contrary to predictions, neither reflective rumination nor prolonged grief predicted higher posttraumatic growth scores. Additionally, posttraumatic growth did not correlate with any of the variables assessed. Additionally, there were not any significant differences in posttraumatic growth scores for those who met criteria for prolonged grief and those who did not. The overall posttraumatic growth scores of the parents in the present study are also low compared to parents bereaved by other causes of death, suggesting that posttraumatic growth may occur later in the course of suicide bereavement. Implications for future research are discussed.

▼ Background: With 12,000 children diagnosed with cancer annually in the United States and survival rates approaching 80%, the long-term health of childhood cancer survivors is an increasingly important concern. This is especially true given that over 70% of survivors develop a chronic health condition by 30 years after their original diagnosis. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common non-cancer related complications. Although some risk factors for therapy-induced cardiovascular damage have been identified, their influence on longitudinal CVD risk is not well described, and therefore, their clinical utility is limited. While guidelines exist for protecting the long-term cardiovascular health of survivors, they are generalized from general population recommendations, placing a strong reliance on healthy lifestyle habits such as diet. By failing to consider the clinical heterogeneity of survivors, these recommendations may miss those survivors with the greatest need for risk management and ignore the
possibility that survivors require unique strategies for effective CVD prevention. It is also unclear how a history of childhood cancer affects diet, how diet in-turn affects the development of traditional CVD risk factors among survivors, and what the combined effects of these traditional CVD risk factors imply for the long-term health of survivors.
Methods: This dissertation presents results from 3 investigations related to the long-term cardiovascular health of survivors using data from the Cardiac Risk Factors in Pediatric Cancer Survivors Study. This study included 201 survivors, a median of 11 years from cancer diagnosis, and 76 of their siblings who were assessed during day-long study visits including echocardiography, patient histories, and laboratory tests conducted from 1999 to 2003. Cancer treatment records were reviewed and 3-day food records collected. First, the associations between cranial irradiation and cardiac abnormalities associated with anthracycline chemotherapy were examined. Associations with insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a marker of growth hormone, were also examined. Second, diet records were used to estimate daily caloric intake relative to recommended levels and dietary quality using the Healthy Eating Index-2005 (HEI). The diets of survivors and siblings were compared and associations with cancer types and treatments investigated. The association between dietary quality and adiposity among survivors was also examined.
Third, future CVD risk due to traditional CVD risk factors was examined using Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth (PDAY) scores and the Framingham Risk Calculator (FRC), both expressed as ratios relative to an individual of similar age and sex without modifiable risk factors. The PDAY odds ratio represents the increased odds of currently having an advanced coronary artery lesion. The FRC risk ratio represents the increased risk of a myocardial infarction, stroke, or coronary death in the next 30 years.
Survivor and sibling risk estimates were…

▼ Leadership in the psychiatric consumer and
survivor movement is a relatively unexplored and unstudied phenomenon. This study examined leadership practices of 19 psychiatric consumers and survivors in western Canada using constructivist grounded theory. Comparing leadership in organizations controlled by consumers and survivors to organizations not controlled by people with mental health problems, such as mental health charities, the study found commonalities in organizational needs, activities, and struggles, except that poverty was a larger barrier for consumer and
survivor organizations. The findings refuted the notion that consumer and
survivor organizational leadership was more fractious and fragile than their non-consumer counterpart. The study found three attitudes underlying effective movement leadership and the numerous tasks leaders must accomplish to maximize their chances of success. Participants voiced the centrality of the journey to becoming a leader, from victim to
survivor to inner warrior. They voiced that self-realization was leadership’s basis. The study concluded that the mainstream system – the psychiatric system and the government – are as much part of the solution as part of the problem; that is, the social movement can work with the mainstream system, not necessarily adopting its values, but aiming to reform the system from the inside. The findings corroborated with three out of the four components of authentic leadership theory, with implications for refining social movement leadership practice and furthering theory development.
