本研究调查了125名转移性乳腺癌妇女的侵入和回避症状水平及其与过去生活压力、当前情感支持、疾病相关变量和年龄的关系。结果表明，这些女性中有相当大一部分经历了与癌症相关的临床显著水平的侵入和回避症状，特别是那些过去生活事件压力更大，当前厌恶情绪支持水平更高的女性。此外，这两种类型的症状都与复发时间较短有关，回避症状与较小的情感支持网络有关。这些结果表明，转移性乳腺癌是一个情感创伤事件的显着比例的妇女，特别是那些与过去的生活压力和不支持的社会环境。
This study examined levels of intrusion and avoidance symptoms and their relationships to past life stress, current emotional support, disease-related variables, and age in 125 women with metastatic breast cancer. The results indicate that a sizable proportion of these women experienced clinically significant levels of intrusion and avoidance symptoms related to their cancer, particularly those with both more stressful past life events and higher current levels of aversive emotional support. Additionally, both types of symptoms were associated with shorter time since recurrence, and avoidance symptoms were associated with smaller emotional support networks. These results indicate that metastatic breast cancer is an emotionally traumatic event for a significant proportion of women, particularly those with past life stressors and unsupportive social environments.
