TL;DR: Preliminary findings provide some support for the idea that low-grade inflammation contributes to the development of CRF, independently of depression; however, there was no evidence that this is mediated by KP activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consideration of future consequences scale: Confirmatory Factor Analysis
TL;DR: In this article, confirmatory factor analyses were used to evaluate different 1-and 2-factor models based on data provided by 590 (236 males, 354 females) young adult members of the general public.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential effects of self-efficacy and perceived control on intention to perform skin cancer-related health behaviours
TL;DR: While self-efficacy--but not controllability--emerged as a significant predictor of intentions to use sunscreen, the opposite pattern was observed for the prediction of intention to use sunbeds, whereby lower controllable beliefs were associated with higher intentions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body Consciousness Moderates the Effect of Message Framing on Intentions to Use Sunscreen
TL;DR: It is concluded that message framing effects on precautionary sun behaviour intentions are moderated by body consciousness.
Journal ArticleDOI
'I'm not complaining because I'm alive': barriers to the emergence of a discourse of cancer-related fatigue.
TL;DR: It is indicated that conflict between patients’ own conceptualisations of CRF and those of family/friends and/or medical professionals hampers social and medical dialogue ofCRF, a potentially chronic condition that is inadequately discussed, diagnosed and treated.
