Conducted a study with 19 White female cancer patients (aged 23–78 yrs) to document the magnitude of anxiety Ss experienced in response to one particularly stressful form of radiation treatment. In addition, the change in anxiety responses with repeated exposures and individual differences among Ss was explored. As the time for internal radiotherapy treatment neared, subjective and physiologic indicants of anxiety and distress among the Ss significantly increased. By 24 hrs posttreatment, anxiety for all Ss remained elevated. A subset of the Ss who required 2 applications of radiotherapy continued to respond negatively during the 2nd treatment. Data on individual differences in anxiety responses suggest that those with low levels of pretreatment anxiety experienced considerable disruption posttreatment.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
