Abstract

Purpose

Our research aimed to examine the role of intolerance of uncertainty (IU) in psychological distress (PD) among women with ovarian cancer. Fear of COVID-19 (FCOV) was examined as a mediator, and participant health status and the reopening status of their geographic region were examined as moderators.

Design

A cross-sectional quantitative design was employed.

Participants

Participants (n = 100) were recruited through various online sources and completed the study via Qualtrics.

Methods

Moderated mediation models and post-hoc linear regression analyses were used to determine the role of predictor variables in PD.

Results

No significant moderators or mediators were found. Despite a strong correlation between FCOV and IU, both variables explained unique variance in the anxiety and stress models, while FCOV was not significant in the depressive symptoms model.

Implications for Providers

Both IU and FCOV should be considered in helping women with ovarian cancer manage their PD during the COVID-19 pandemic.

COVID-19 大流行期间卵巢癌女性的经历：检查对 COVID-19 的不确定性和恐惧与心理困扰相关的不耐受

摘要

目的

我们的研究旨在检查不确定性不耐受 (IU) 在卵巢癌女性心理困扰 (PD) 中的作用。对 COVID-19 (FC​​OV) 的恐惧作为中介进行了检查，参与者的健康状况和他们所在地理区域的重新开放状态作为主持人进行了检查。

设计

采用横截面定量设计。

参与者

参与者 ( n =  100) 是通过各种在线资源招募的，并通过 Qualtrics 完成研究。

方法

调节中介模型和事后线性回归分析用于确定预测变量在 PD 中的作用。

结果

没有发现重要的调解人或调解人。尽管 FCOV 和 IU 之间存在很强的相关性，但这两个变量都解释了焦虑和压力模型中的独特差异，而 FCOV 在抑郁症状模型中不显着。

对供应商的影响

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，应考虑使用 IU 和 FCOV 来帮助卵巢癌女性控制 PD。
