Cancer and Fertility: Exploring Uncertainty Management Strategies of Young Adult Female Survivors.
This study describes young adult female (YA-F) cancer survivors' uncertainty management strategies related to fertility/family building. Cross-sectional data were analyzed (n = 98). Participants reported higher rates of seeking information to reduce fertility-related uncertainty (M = 5.48, ±1.03), than avoiding information (M = 4.77, ±1.29). Controlling for relevant covariates (i.e., reproductive distress, household income, and health literacy), greater avoidance was related to higher reproductive distress (β = 0.293, p = 0.011) and lower household income (β = -0.281, p = 0.047). Evidence suggests that some survivors may avoid fertility-related information to manage uncertainty and distress, which may impact family-building success. Fertility avoidance may be an important target of intervention.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology (JAYAO) breaks new ground as the first cancer journal dedicated to all aspects of adolescent and young adult (AYA)-aged cancer patients and survivors. JAYAO is the only central forum for peer-reviewed articles, reviews, and research in the field, bringing together all AYA oncology stakeholders and professionals across disciplines, including clinicians, researchers, psychosocial and supportive care providers, and pediatric and adult cancer institutions.
