Fifty patients recently diagnosed with BRCa (25 with BRCa and 25 with BRCa-RSxM) in a convenience sample participated. Frontal muscle activity and skin conductance were recorded in response to stressful conditions. Quality of life, perceived stress, and coping strategies scales were used.Results The presence of comorbidity (p = .001; p = .02), perceived stress (p = .004; p = .03), and social quality of life (p = .01; p = .01) influenced muscle activation and conductance during the emotional stressor (ES). Putting the stressful situation into perspective as a cognitive coping strategy was related to a decrease in activation (p = .04). An increase in physiological activation during the cognitive stressor (CS) was influenced by comorbidity (p = .05) and quality of social life (p = .01; p = .01). In turn, a decrease was influenced by the increase in age (p = .02).Discussion Physiological vulnerability, coping strategies (behavioral and cognitive), and prior learning influenced the resulting reaction during the stressful situation. Conclusion A metabolic disease, as a prelude to an oncological, may cause physiological vulnerability to respond adequately to stressful conditions. 2019 artículo científico 0185-3325 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=58261086003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58261086003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58261086003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58261086003/58261086003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58261086003/movil 10.17711/SM.0185-3325.2019.015 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=582 Salud Mental application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz Salud Mental (México) Num.3 Vol.42 |
