This study explored the emotional and coping responses of women referred for cancer genetic risk assessment and the acceptability of a written distraction-based coping intervention. Fifteen women recently referred into the Cancer Genetics Service for Wales (CGSW) took part in a focus group study. The women were divided into two groups, each of which met twice. During the first session, each group discussed their psychological responses to the referral and how they coped with their worries. Women discussed the potential role of the intervention in minimising distress. Analysis of the transcripts revealed that most women welcomed the referral to CGSW and that it did not create distress. However, there was concern for family members and anxiety about subsequent stages of the assessment process. The intervention was considered appropriate and potentially effective.
本研究探讨了被转介进行癌症遗传风险评估的女性的情绪和应对反应，以及基于分散注意力的书面应对干预措施的可接受性。15名最近被转介到威尔士癌症遗传学服务中心（CGSW）的女性参与了一项焦点小组研究。这些女性被分成两组，每组会面两次。在第一次会议期间，每个小组讨论了她们对转介的心理反应以及她们如何应对担忧。女性们讨论了干预措施在减轻痛苦方面的潜在作用。对记录文本的分析表明，大多数女性对被转介到CGSW表示欢迎，且这并未造成困扰。然而，她们担心家庭成员，并且对评估过程的后续阶段感到焦虑。该干预措施被认为是合适的且可能有效。
