What you'll learn
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
Present a brief overview of ovarian cancer across the disease continuum from a medical perspective, such as discuss detection issues, diagnosis (e.g., stage, tumor type, localization), available treatments along with their possible side- effects, and post-treatment survivorship and medical management.
Identify 4 common themes among these patients: enhanced communication with medical team and primary support persons; uptake and maintenance of stress/pain management techniques; improved utilization of support system; and tailor treatment plans accordingly.
Recognize the possible overlap between cancer treatment-related symptoms (e.g., chemotherapy-related fatigue) and at least 2 common mood disturbances in this population, depression and anxiety, to facilitate psychological diagnosis and treatment.
Apply 4 therapeutic modalities to facilitate adaptation to ovarian cancer, including individual and group formats.
Course description
This course reviews current psychological theory and empirical evidence relevant to applied clinical practice in the OVCA context (e.g., psychosexual impact and adaptation; gender-specific issues regarding coping with health threat). The material will identify and discuss the physical and psychological sequelae of an OVCA diagnosis and treatment (e.g., side effects of treatment, quality of life, loss issues; possible genetic component). Techniques and skills to facilitate patient adjustment (e.g. increase adaptive communication with medical team and other support members; practice of stress and pain management; utilization of support system) are also presented.

Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
