Uncertainty associated with cancer can foster future-focused worry and ultimately diminish physical well-being, especially among young adult survivors. Stress perceptions might exacerbate the association of worry and physical well-being. Young adults with testicular cancer (N = 171) completed measures of physical well-being, perceived stress, and future cancer-related worry. Perceived stress and future worry were both negatively associated with physical well-being. Perceived stress moderated the relationship; more perceived stress was related to lower physical well-being in those with high worry. Interventions aimed at worry reduction might benefit from reducing global stress perceptions.
与癌症相关的不确定性会引发对未来的担忧，并最终损害身体健康，尤其是在年轻的成年幸存者中。压力认知可能会加剧担忧与身体健康之间的关联。患有睾丸癌的年轻成年人（N = 171）完成了身体健康、感知压力和未来癌症相关担忧的测量。感知压力和未来担忧均与身体健康呈负相关。感知压力起到了调节作用；在高担忧人群中，更多的感知压力与更低的身体健康水平相关。旨在减少担忧的干预措施可能会受益于降低整体压力认知。
