Title: | Psychological Distress among Prostate Cancer Patients: Fact or Fiction? | Contributor(s): | Sharpley, Christopher (author) ; Bitsika, Vicki (author); Christie, David R H (author) | Publication Date: | 2008 | Open Access: | Yes | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/6899 | Abstract: | Although the detrimental effect upon psychological well-being of receiving a diagnosis of, or treatment for, cancer has been demonstrated across many different types of cancer, three recent reviews of the psychological health of prostate cancer patients have produced contradictory conclusions. In order to elucidate the reasons for these apparent different conclusions, each of these reviews is described, with principal methods and findings summarised. Actual data, methodology used to select/reject research studies for inclusion in reviews, plus the validity of strict methodological culling of some research studies are discussed. Several extra studies and commentaries are also described, and a resolution of the apparent contradictory review conclusions is offered. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Clinical Medicine: Oncology, 18(2), p. 563-572 | Publisher: | Libertas Academica Ltd | Place of Publication: | New Zealand | ISSN: | 1177-9314 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 111299 Oncology and Carcinogenesis not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 920102 Cancer and Related Disorders | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://www.la-press.com/psychological-distress-among-prostate-cancer-patients-fact-or-fiction-article-a1232 |
