Abstract

Breast cancer is the malignancy with the highest incidence in women worldwide. The empirical evidence is inconsistent with the prevalence of depression among breast cancer survivors (BCS), pointing to emotional competencies as protective factors against affective disorders. However, the mechanisms through which these competencies favor a more adaptive emotional state are unknown. Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationship between the experience of having survived the disease and depression levels in a group of BCS, and the mediating role of Perceived Emotional Intelligence (PEI) in this relation. This was a cross-sectional study with 237 women divided into two groups: 56 BCS and 181 healthy controls who completed the Trait Meta-Mood Scale 24 (TMMS-24) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Results showed that Survivorship and PEI explained and predicted 37.8% of the variance of depression, corresponding the 11.7% to the direct and/or the indirect effect of the PEI dimensions (Emotional Attention, Emotional Clarity, and Emotional Repair). In conclusion, interventions aimed at promoting an adequate PEI in this population—and in the Psycho-oncology field, in general—with a particular focus on the development of Emotional Clarity and Repair need to be implemented. Limitations and future research lines are discussed.

  • Subcomponents of EI, namely emotional clarity and emotional repair, are particularly important to develop when facing the experience of breast cancer.

    “the article also suggested that subcomponents of EI are particularly important to develop when facing the experience of breast cancer, namely emotional clarity (the extent to which individuals can unambiguously identify, label, and mentally represent the type and source or of emotions they feel) and emotional repair (the capacity to successfully improve negative moods).”

  • Perceived EI and survivorship predicted 37.8% of the variance of depression.

    “Accordingly, one recent study [84], published after the completion of this review process, found that perceived EI and survivorship predicted 37.8% of the variance of depression; the article also suggested that subcomponents of EI are particularly important to develop when facing the experience of breast cancer, namely emotional clarity (the extent to which individuals can unambiguously identify,”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
