    Abstract Genital herpes is a chronic, stigmatizing, sexually transmitted disease (STD), which is increasing despite efforts to control its spread. Depression is commonly reported among people diagnosed with genital herpes and differences in depression by gender have been reported. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify gender differences in the predictors of depression in young adults with genital herpes by secondary analyses of baseline data from a randomized clinical trial (RCT). For the RCT, young adults (193 females, 59 males) with genital herpes were recruited from newspaper advertisements. Participants completed questionnaires measuring illness burden, attitudes toward herpes, stress symptoms, mood states, depression, self-concealment, self-disclosure, substance use, and demographics. Univariate analyses and multiple regression techniques were used to identify variables predictive of depression in this sample. In women, increased anger, decreased vigor, increased confusion, a negative attitude toward herpes, self-concealment, and stress symptoms from genital herpes predicted more depression (R2 = 0.63). In men, increased depression was predicted by increased anger, a negative attitude toward herpes, and a decreased willingness to share personal information with a stranger (R2 = 0.51). Findings suggest that future psychoeducational interventions should address anger as a predictor of depression in this population. Gender-specific interventions need to be developed in order to assist young adults who are living with genital herpes.

    Abstract Purpose/objectives: To determine the prevalence and causes of pain in a group of outpatients with breast cancer and to evaluate the effects of pain on the patient's activities of daily living (ADL), mood, and quality of life (QOL).
    Design: Descriptive and correlational.
    Setting: Sixteen outpatient facilities that are part of the Oncology Nursing Research Network.
    Sample: A convenience sample of 97 outpatients who were actively being treated for breast cancer.
    Methods: Patients completed a demographic questionnaire, a cancer pain questionnaire, the Profile of Mood States, and the Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale--Cancer. Patients' medical records were reviewed.
    Main research variables: Pain intensity, pain duration, changes in ADL, changes in mood, and changes in QOL.
    Findings: Forty-seven percent of the patients with breast cancer reported experiencing cancer-related pain. Patients with cancer-related pain had significantly higher mood disturbance scores and significantly lower QOL scores.
    Conclusions: Pain is a significant problem for outpatients with breast cancer that negatively affects mood, QOL, and functional status.
    Implications for nursing practice: Future research is needed to determine the most effective strategies for treating pain associated with breast cancer. In addition, oncology nurses should perform ongoing assessments of patients' pain and the impact of the pain on various aspects of patients' lives.

    Abstract A descriptive study of 252 young adults with genital herpes recruited from newspaper advertisements in a metropolitan area on the West coast revealed gender differences in clinical features of the disease, perceived causes of recurrences, and treatments used. Stress was the most frequently perceived cause of recurrences. Although 68% of participants perceived nurses to be a source of information about the disease, only 25% perceived nurses as a source of the best information they had received. Development of nursing interventions based on the experience and perceptions of patients is needed.

    Abstract Despite advancements in self-care for people with cancer, a profile of individuals who perform self-care behaviors has not been determined. Without these data, interventions cannot be targeted to specific patient groups that demonstrate the most need. This study's investigators used Orem's model of self-care to determine predictors of self-care behavior. The sample consisted of 127 adults with cancer who were to receive their first dose of chemotherapy (e.g., doxorubicin, methotrexate, 5-fluorouracil, cyclophosphamide, or cisplatin, given alone or in combination). Data were collected from the subjects prior to the first cycle and at drug nadir for each of the four chemotherapy cycles. Potential predictors of self-care included demographic variables, performance status, affective state, social support, ability to manage a situation, self-care ability, and prior health-promoting activities. Self-care was measured using a 40-item behavior checklist. Multiple regression techniques were used to obtain four significant predictors of self-care, which accounted for 47% of the variance. Subjects with lower performance status, higher anxiety, less social support, and more education performed more self-care. These findings clarify Orem's model with this clinical population and provide a patient profile of self-care for practice.

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to test the outcomes of group psycho-educational intervention (PEI) led by nurses on sexual health risks (knowledge, behaviour, disease burden) and psycho-social adaptation (depression, mood states, self-efficacy) in young adults with the chronic disease, genital herpes. Two hundred and fifty-two young adults with symptomatic genital herpes participated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The intervention was participation in a three-session group PEI facilitated by a nurse in the community. Participants completed questionnaires measuring sexual health risks (herpes knowledge, sexual risk behaviour, disease burden of patterns of recurrences of outbreaks of the disease), and psycho-social adaptation (depression using the Beck Depression Inventory [BDI], mood states using the Profile of Mood States [POMS], and feelings of self-efficacy for protection from sexually transmitted diseases [PSTD]) at induction into the study, and at 3 and 6 months. Participants were mainly employed, Caucasian, single women in their twenties (X = 27.1 years, SD = 4.3), with some college education; 23% of the sample were men. After controlling for baseline knowledge about genital herpes, the experimental group had significantly more knowledge than the control group at 3 and 6 months' post-intervention. They also reported using condoms and spermicides to prevent the spread of genital herpes more often than did the control group. The implications for nurses in the community include the following: (a) PEI is an intervention that can be used by nurses in the community with a high-risk population; (b) group intervention is a viable treatment for people with a highly stigmatized, chronic sexually transmitted disease (STD); and (c) further testing of the use of PEI by nurses in the community with other high-risk populations is needed.

    Abstract Purpose/objectives: To determine differences in pain characteristics, mood states, and quality of life (QOL) in outpatients with different types of cancer-related pain (i.e., somatic, visceral, or neuropathic) compared to outpatients who were pain-free.
    Design: Descriptive, comparative.
    Setting: Sixteen outpatient facilities that are part of the Oncology Nursing Research Network.
    Sample: A convenience sample of 129 outpatients who experienced cancer-related pain and 169 pain-free patients, all of whom were actively being treated for cancer.
    Methods: All patients completed a demographic questionnaire, the Multidimensional Quality of Life Scale-Cancer, and the Profile of Mood States, Patients with pain completed a Cancer Pain Questionnaire and the McGill Pain Questionnaire. Patients' medical records were reviewed.
    Main research variables: Types of cancer-related pain (i.e., somatic visceral, or neuropathic), pain intensity, pain duration, quality of pain, QOL, and mood states.
    Findings: No differences were found in any pain characteristics or any pain indices from the word descriptors of the McGill Pain Questionnaire. Patients with somatic and visceral pain had significantly higher fatigue scores than pain-free patients. In addition, patients with somatic and visceral pain had significantly lower physical well-being, nutrition, and total QOL scores and more symptom distress than pain-free patients.
    Conclusions: The type of cancer-related pain appears to influence the mood states and QOL of outpatients with cancer.
    Implications for nursing practice: Oncology nurses need fo determine the type of pain the patient is experiencing and the impact of the pain on the patient's mood and QOL.
