The Role of Support Services, Diet and Exercise in Alleviate Distress in Women with Ovarian Cancer and their Partners

很大一部分卵巢癌患者和他们的伴侣经历了高水平的痛苦。确定特定的服务，饮食或运动是否能有效缓解这种痛苦，将有助于为服务提供和临床实践提供信息。本研究首先通过评估心理社会服务，饮食和运动与生活质量的关系来解决这个问题，其次通过对患有抑郁症的患者和伴侣进行生活方式干预。

A significant proportion of ovarian cancer patients and their partners experience elevated levels of distress. Determining if particular services, diet or exercise are effective in alleviating this distress will help to inform service provision and clinical practice. This research approaches this issue by firstly evaluating use of psychosocial services, diet and exercise in relation to quality of life, and secondly by piloting a lifestyle intervention for patients and partners with distress.
