Sydney University is doing a study on Fear of Recurrence ....... check it out
The things that pop into my FB stream ..... Yesterday it was notification that Sydney Uni is doing a 'Fear of Recurrence' Study & is asking anyone with breast or Ovarian cancers to take part ...... and to 'pick the right answer' - Yes or No - as to whether the answer is correct or not - the word/question/answer is about us reading more into (or overthinking) words or statements or symptoms. https://sydney.au1.qualtrics.com/CP/File.php?F=F_0lJ5WV6FXMxCJls I did it last night and if getting the answers wrong means that I have a fear of recurrence - I reckon I'll be in the top 10%!! :( I must have 'passed' - as I get another set of questions next week!! COGNITIVE BIAS MODIFICATION (CBM) FOR FEAR OF CANCER RECURRENCE/PROGRESSION You are invited to take part in a research study looking at a novel intervention for fear of cancer recurrence or progression (FCR), known as Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM). FCR is natural and common amongst cancer survivors, and leads people living beyond cancer to interpret many situations in light of their experience (a potential threat of recurrence or progression). CBM is an intervention that is administered online and trains people not to interpret ambiguous situations in a threatening way. By doing so, people reduce their anxiety. CBM has been shown to be helpful in a range of populations including in people with anxiety and depression. However there is only one pilot study in people living beyond breast cancer. That study achieved promising results, and we aim to test CBM in a larger trial to see if CBM does reliably reduce FCR, and if the results extend to women with ovarian cancer. https://sydney.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8HRDp6WSgjjXXpA?fbclid=IwAR2fB8uR9MnChFi0ZcaClfxA5w3HI_B0jN6ZVvcOCzVo6MhXIz6nVJ77yc8211Views0likes12Comments
