Spanish Adaptation of Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy for Participants With Cancer: Study Protocol of a Randomized Control Trial.

BackgroundMeaning-Centered Psychotherapy (MCP) is effective in improving meaning in life, hope, optimism, self-efficacy, well-being, and quality of life, and in reducing stress in people with cancer.

Therefore, it is necessary to adapt and verify the efficacy of MCP in populations that speak languages other than English, such as Spanish. Moreover, to expand the data supporting the efficacy of MCP for cancer patients, it would be necessary to compare MCP to other active therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).MethodsThe aims of the proposed study are: the first obj…

However, suicidal ideation (SI) commonly underlies suicide, and Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) can help us to better characterize it and its risk and protective factors in the short term. We aimed, first, to investigate the estimated prevalence and trajectories of SI in a community sample of Spanish college students using an EMA methodology and, second, explore the associations between risk and protective factors and SI categorized as moderate or low.Materials and MethodsA total of 737 participants followed the EMA during a period of 6 months. We estimated t…

Sintomatología de estrés postraumático en pacientes con cáncer de mama e identificación de posibles factores de riesgo.

A raíz de los cambios introducidos en el concepto de trauma en el DSM-IV -poniendo un mayor énfasis en los aspectos subjetivos del mismo - y de la consideración de una enfermedad amenazante para la vida como una experiencia potencialmente traumática capaz de desencadenar TEP, la morbilidad psicológica de las pacientes de cáncer de mama puede ser comprendida desde el contexto teórico del trastorno de estrés agudo y postraumático. Asimismo, a través de la literatura son numerosos los trabajos que han tratado de identificar un perfil de variables predictoras del desarrollo de este tipo de sintomatología en el contexto del cáncer. En este sentido, como objetivo central de este trabajo se ha pla…
