Brief summary (from the registry)
This observational study was conducted to develop and test a new self-report questionnaire, the Cancer Pathology Acceptance Questionnaire for Breast Cancer (CPAQ-8-BC), specifically adapted for women diagnosed with Breast Cancer (BC). The primary goal is to evaluate if this new tool is a reliable and valid measure for assessing disease acceptance - defined as the psychological ability to acknowledge and experience cancer-related thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without excessive avoidance or struggle. The study investigates whether the Cancer Pathology Acceptance Questionnaire for Breast Cancer (CPAQ-8-BC) accurately measures two distinct aspects: the psychological receptivity to the illness (Disease Receptivity) and the commitment to activity engagement despite the disease (Activity Engagement). This short questionnaire is intended for use by healthcare providers and rehabilitation specialists to identify patients who struggle with acceptance, potentially guiding personalized psychological therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and improving participation in rehabilitation and overall quality of survivorship.
