A systematic review of quality of life instruments in long-term breast cancer survivors
Abstract Background Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, representing 16% of all female cancers. According to the American Cancer Society, long-term cancer survival is defined as more than five years of survivorship since diagnosis, with approximately 2.5 million breast cancer survivors (BCS) in 2006. The long-term effects from breast cancer and its treatment have been shown to have positive and negative effects on both recovery and survivors' quality of life (QoL). The purpose of the study was to identify QoL instruments that have been validated in long-term BCS and to review the studies that have used the QoL instruments in this population. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted from January 1990 to October 2010 using electronic databases. Instruments validated and used in BCS were included in the review. In addition, QoL studies in long-term BCS using the validated instruments were reviewed. The search was limited to studies in English language. Studies of BCS of less than five years after initial diagnosis, any clinical or review studies were excluded. Results The review identified a total of 12 instruments (10 disease-specific, 2 condition-specific) validated in long-term BCS. According to the QoL framework proposed by Ferrell and colleagues, three instruments (Quality of Life-Cancer Survivors, Quality of Life in Adult Cancer Survivors Scale, and Quality of Life Index-Cancer Version) evaluated all four domains (physical, psychological, social, and spiritual) of QoL. A review of the psychometric evaluation showed that Quality of Life in Adult Cancer Survivors Scale has acceptable reliability, validity, and responsiveness in long-term BCS compared to other disease-specific instruments. The review also yielded 19 studies that used these QoL instruments. The study results indicated that age-group, ethnicity, and type of treatment influenced different aspects of QoL. Conclusions There is a significant impact of breast cancer on QoL in long-term BCS. The review can help researchers and clinicians select the most appropriate instruments to assess the changes in QoL in BCS.</p

Education of Bhagavat Gita’s Philosophy, Spiritualism and Ethics and Their Role in Stress Management in Corporate Sector involving Economic and Financial Resources
An attempt has been made in presenting a broad overview of Spiritualism and Ethics in Business and their Role in Stress Management of Managers in Corporate Sector, involving Economic and Financial Resources. Emphasis of the role of Bhagavat Gita and Christian Spirituality on stress management has been outlined. Ideas and statements of great Management Gurus in support of the use of Spiritualism and Ethics in Business, and their Role in Stress Management of Managers have been discussed. An expression has been suggested to relate spirituality factor of the manager and his stress. It is felt that the paper should be of good utility for the managers to reduce their stress level, and hence improve their performance, along with creating a good environment at the work place
Hairpin impacted in the duodenum of a 4-month-old child - a rarity
Foreign body ingestion is common in children. The accidental ingestion is usually seen in children due to lingual curiosity. Most of the foreign body passes spontaneously through gastrointestinal (GI) tract; hence, requiring no removal. This is a case of impacted hairpin in the duodenum of a 4-month-old female child who accidentally ingested hairpin and was asymptomatic initially for 1 month and later presented with melena requiring surgical removal of hairpin. We failed to find in literature impacted hairpin in the duodenum associated with GI bleeding
Impact of positive self-talk
x, 106 leaves ; 29 cmOn a daily basis, whether young or old, people are engaged in self-talk. Our thoughts
have implications that affect our emotions, motivation and potential accomplishments.
Research has shown that the majority of our self-talk is negative therefore, is working
against us rather than for us (Helmstetter, 1982; Stranulis & Manning, 2002). These
negative thoughts create feelings of anger, irritation, frustration, hopelessness and
disappointment. The aim of this study was to teach grade one students how to rethink
their negative self-talk and turn it into positive self-talk. The students engaged in a yearlong
series of lessons about self-talk and learned how to identify specific negative and
positive words and affirmations. At the end of the school year the students participated in
a one to-one qualitative interview with the teacher/researcher to highlight new metacognitive
strategies attained and implemented. Through a coding procedure, the data
analysis confirmed that the students needed to learn and understand a three-level process
in order to acquire positive self-talk. First, they needed to develop an awareness of the
nature of self-talk, both positive and negative. Second, they needed to acquire new
strategies to change negative self-talk into positive self-talk and third, they needed to
implement positive self-talk into their daily interactions. This study revealed that the new strategies learned impacted the students’ abilities to successfully rethink negative
statements to positive statements and to consider the value of doing so in their lives. This
life-impacting skill has the potential to change perspectives, attitudes, and reactions in
regard to one self, to others and to the circumstances in which we find ourselves. In this
way, the study demonstrated that even very young students are in control of themselves
by consciously feeding their minds with positive empowering self-talk
