Influence of Psychosocial Distress and Lifetime Trauma Exposure on Traumatic Stress Among Oncology Patients on Clinical Trials
Completed
Conditions studied: Lymphoma, Mesothelioma, Prostate Cancer, Leukemia
In brief
Background: A cancer diagnosis is a threat to life and bodily integrity. This can cause people with cancer to experience traumatic stress. Researchers want to better understand the types of stress and emotional reactions people with cancer experience. They also want to know if the stress people with cancer have had during their life affects their stress related to cancer. Objective: To see if lifetime traumas, along with psychosocial distress, can predict traumatic stress symptoms in people with cancer. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have had or are currently getting care from the NIH Clinical Center for one of these cancers: Leukemia Lymphoma Mesothelioma Prostate cancer Design: Participants will be screened with name, date of birth, and diagnosis. Participants will allow access to their medical records. Participants will complete, online or in person, a demographic sheet and 3 questionnaires: The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5: This assesses traumatic stress symptoms and takes 5 10 minutes to complete. The Life Events Checklist for DSM-5: This assesses potentially traumatic life events and takes about 5 minutes to complete. The Brief Symptoms Inventory 18: This assesses psychosocial distress and takes about 4 minutes to complete....
