This multidisciplinary reference explores the concepts and
realities of quality of life among cancer survivors in its
physical, psychological, cognitive, social, and familial
dimensions. Informed by a broad range of fields including genetics,
psychiatry, nursing, dentistry, rehabilitation, and ethics, it
addresses daily challenges of living for this population, from
self-care to cultural concerns and from social interactions to
experiences with providers. Family issues of pediatric, young
adult, and elder survivors, caregiving parents, and siblings are a
major area of concern. And contributors describe interventions for
survivors as individuals, in family content, and as part of
integrated care across primary and specialty settings. Included
among the topics: Play, leisure activities, and cognitive health
among older cancer survivors. Genetic mutations in cancer
susceptibility genes: a family history of cancer. Cancer patients
in a pediatric intensive care unit: a single center experience. The
impact of childhood cancer on the quality of life among healthy
siblings. When cancer returns: family caregivers and the hospice
team. Experiencing cancer services: a story of survival and
dissatisfaction. A significant addition to the cancer survivorship
literature, Quality of Life Among Cancer Survivors is a
practice-building resource for oncology and allied health
professionals, health psychologists, and social workers, as well as
researchers in these fields.
This competence-building resource synthesizes a rich trove of
conceptual and practical information on treating cancer survivors
at risk of being underserved. Spotlighting a diverse group of
ethnic and other demographic populations surviving diverse forms of
cancer, the book models the assessing of needs and the developing
of strategies to meet them. The multiple burden of cancer-medical
and psychosocial problems, discrimination and stigma, quality of
life issues-is described in depth as it affects different cultural
and age populations. Contributors also present interventions that
effectively and meaningfully address these complex intersections of
physical, emotional, interpersonal, and layered social concerns.
Included among the topics: Providing psychosocial distress
screening, coping resources and self-care to newly diagnosed cancer
survivors. Latino cancer survivors: the old and the young. An
exploration of Latvian immigrants' cancer experience and
implications for supportive interventions. Survivorship issues
among Muslim women with cancer. How art therapy can benefit the
quality of life of young breast cancer survivors. The family
caregiver as cancer survivor: supporting and promoting positive
bereavement outcomes. Unique among the survivor literature,
Treating Vulnerable Populations of Cancer Survivors ably assists
health psychologists, social workers, and nurses in providing
services to patients facing special challenges during recovery.
