The evolution of psychological distress trajectories in women diagnosed with advanced breast cancer: a longitudinal study

Anxiety and depression (distress) over the first year following the initial adjuvant therapy for advanced breast cancer (ABC) remain poorly documented in non‐Caucasian populations. This study describes trajectories of distress and their determinants in Chinese women with ABC.

Validation of the Chinese version of the Short-form Supportive Care Needs Survey Questionnaire (SCNS-SF34-C)

Background: There is no instrument available in Chinese for assessing psychosocial needs. This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Supportive Care Needs Survey short form (SCNS‐SF34‐C) in Chinese women with breast cancer (BC).

Comparing the meanings of living with advanced breast cancer between women resilient to distress and women with persistent distress: a qualitative study

Most women with advanced breast cancer (ABC) show little distress, but about one in ten show persistent distress over time. It remains unclear if meanings ascribed by patients to ABC differentiate these distress trajectories.
