这项研究的主要目的是调查女性的生活价值观是否会随着乳腺癌的诊断而改变。此外，生活价值观和焦虑/抑郁等级之间的关联进行了调查。前瞻性研究了517名妇女参加乳腺X线筛查后接受进一步检查的生命价值变化，其中38人被诊断为原发性乳腺癌。生活价值观进行了评估的研究特定版本的生活价值观问卷，包括评级的感知实现和重要性的七个生活价值的维度。在被召回三个月后，被诊断患有原发性乳腺癌的妇女报告说，健康的重要性和实现程度有所下降。此外，这些妇女报告的变化，认为责任和参与的重要性。特别是高度的焦虑和抑郁与某些人生价值观的成就和重要性之间的巨大差异有关。这表明，一些生活价值观的重要性的变化可能构成女性对乳腺癌诊断的心理适应的一部分。(C)2002 Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
The main aim of this study was to investigate whether women's life values change with a breast cancer diagnosis. In addition, associations between life values and anxiety/depression ratings were investigated. Life value changes were prospectively studied in 517 women recalled for further examination after attending mammographic screening, 38 of whom were diagnosed with primary breast cancer. Life values were assessed by a study-specific version of a life value questionnaire, including ratings of the perceived attainment and importance of seven life value dimensions. Three months after being recalled, women diagnosed with primary breast cancer reported a reduction of the attainment and the importance of Health. In addition, these women reported changes in the perceived importance of Responsibility and Involvement. High levels of anxiety and depression in particular were associated with large discrepancies between attainment and importance for some life values. This suggests that changes in the perceived importance of some life values may constitute one part of women's psychological adaptation to a breast cancer diagnosis. (C) 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
