Newly diagnosed cancer patients (N = 133) were studied to determine gender-based differences in initial adjustment and whether, within the female population, women with gynecological or breast cancer adjust differently. The Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and the Rand Health Insurance Study-General Weil-Being Schedule (HIS-GWB) were used to measure anxiety, depression, hostility, somatization, and general psychological distress or psychological well-being. There were no gender differences on any of the measures when men were compared with women. However, when gynecological/breast cancer patients were analyzed separately from women with other forms of cancer, they were significantly less depressed, anxious, and hostile; they had less somatization, less psychological distress, and greater psychological well-being. These findings may be related to the perception of their illness as being less serious than that of other females with cancer. |
