Adapting to Cancer with Body, Mind, and Heart: Psychological, Psychophysiological Assessment and Management in Sample of Ovarian Cancer Survivors
Author(s): Pruneti C, Cosentino C, Merisio C and Berretta R
Objective: Ovarian cancer survivors often develop severe psychological disorders and impairments in social, familial, and sexual functioning. They experience a withdrawal from intimate relationship, fear and body shame, and a condition of unrelenting distress. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a physiological parameter that, when reduced, is index of higher distress. The quantitative observational study aimed at understanding the relationship between psychological adjustment, distress, and quality of life.
Methods: 44 women, consecutively recruited at the Oncological service of the Gynecological Dept., filled questionnaires investigating social support, body image, coping strategies and quality of life and recorded short-term HRV.
