Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Tennessee, 1996.

Investigated relationships among indicators of preventive mental health and functional quality of life for three groups of current and former cancer patients, all participants in The Wellness Community (TWC), a psychosocial support program for cancer patients. Group One group included newly diagnosed cancer patients who were new participants in TWC, Group Two TWC included participants active in TWC for a period of approximately four months to one year, and Group Three included long-term TWC participants. Participants included those from TWC programs in the Western, Midwestern, and Southeastern United States.

520 $a Investigated relationships among indicators of preventive mental health and functional quality of life for three groups of current and former cancer patients, all participants in The Wellness Community (TWC), a psychosocial support program for cancer patients. Group One group included newly diagnosed cancer patients who were new participants in TWC, Group Two TWC included participants active in TWC for a period of approximately four months to one year, and Group Three included long-term TWC participants. Participants included those from TWC programs in the Western, Midwestern, and Southeastern United States.
520 $a Mental health measures included: (a) Social Provisions Scale (SPS), (b) Life Orientation Test (LOT), and (c) Life Style Approaches (LSA). The measure of functional quality of life was the The Functional Living Index-Cancer (FLI-C). Published literature suggests these instruments are reliable and valid measures of their respective domains.
520 $a Two research questions were addressed: (a) Are there differences between long-term, six-month, and newly diagnosed participants with respect to preventive variables? And, (b) To what extent are social support, optimism, and self-management related to quality of life across all three groups?
520 $a Multivariate analyses were performed on mental health and quality of life variables across the three groups. Second, partial correlations controlling for age were performed between scores on the SPS, FLI-C, LOT, and LSA. Third, regression analyses were used to examine the relative contributions to functional quality of life by social support, optimism, and self management, respectively.
520 $a Multivariate analyses did not confirm differences among the three groups. Repeated measures analysis of subgroup Group One participants indicated a trend towards increases in social support over time. Partialling out age was found to minimally alter the relationships among SPS, FLI-C, LOT, and LSA. Older respondents tended to have higher FLI-C scores. Significant positive correlations were found between FLI-C and LOT, FLI-C and SPS, SPS and LOT, and LOT and LSA. Multiple regression analyses were supportive of an additive model, with SPS and LOT as predictor variables and FLI-C as the criterion variable.
520 $a Discussion includes comments on future goals and methods of conducting research at TWC and or similar programs for cancer patients.
