Visual reconstructions of endometriosis pain: An interdisciplinary visual methodology for illness representation
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates the value of a creative mixed-methodologies approach to capture experiential aspects of pain and its impact that are not verbalized in linguistic accounts alone. This can facilitate a deeper understanding of one's pain, acting as a medium for therapeutic adjustment to occur, while facilitating effective and empathic patient-professional conversations surrounding pain.PMID:38462537 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12720 (Source: British Journal of Health Psychology)

Associations between empirically proportionate and disproportionate fears of cancer recurrence and anxiety and depression in uveal melanoma survivors: Five-year prospective study
CONCLUSIONS: FCR was more likely to progress to elevated anxiety symptoms when proportionate to the known objective recurrence risk. Objective evidence may play a prominent role in the development and structure of fear because it assumes a high epistemic weight that activates a wide range of emotional and cognitive responses. Interventions that assist survivors to tolerate FCR in the presence of higher recurrence risks may be important in reducing anxiety symptoms.PMID:38462481 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12719 (Source: British Journal of Health Psychology)

Influence of stress-specific interventions on biomarker levels and cognitive function in cancer patients: Systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: More rigorous studies are required to elucidate the influence of stress-specific interventions on biomarker levels. The potential mechanism by which stress-specific interventions affect the cancer patient's cognitive function remains unclear.PMID:38433554 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12716 (Source: British Journal of Health Psychology)

The Connected We St@nd programme: A feasibility pilot study of an online self-management intervention for adults on in-centre haemodialysis and family caregivers
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggested that the 'Connected We St@nd' programme is likely to be feasible and acceptable for adults on haemodialysis and family caregivers, thus representing a promising resource for the future of interdisciplinary renal rehabilitation. Suggestions were made to fine-tune the intervention design to proceed with a large-scale trial.PMID:38361177 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12715 (Source: British Journal of Health Psychology)
