Cancer doesn’t just happen to one person; it has an impact on the entire family.
"Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in young women,” Borstelmann said in a press conference yesterday. This study supports that the long-term effects of a cancer diagnosis on patients’ families can be profound. The researchers invited partners of women with breast cancer to respond to a one-time survey about their lives, coping behavior, social support systems, financial stability, concerns about their partnership and about parenting, anxiety and depression.
The researchers asked patients’ partners about what Borstelmann referred to as “maladaptive coping” behaviors. Those would include withdrawing emotionally , drinking more, blaming others for problems and behaving in an aggressive manner. The other risk factor identified, based on correlations found in this study, is having a lower level of education. But having less education may not be a true risk factor for anxiety, Borstelmann suggested in discussion during the press meeting. It could be that lower education correlates with economic problems, and so could be “a surrogate marker” for financial stress, which can cause anxiety.
