e20521 Background: The psychological outcomes of men with advanced cancer may vary based upon their appraisal and response to the threat of cancer. Coping styles in other illnesses are influenced by gender and stage of disease, but little is known specifically about men with advanced cancer. Methods: We recruited 81 men with advanced cancer to complete surveys assessing coping (Mini-MAC), post-traumatic growth (PTGI), and psychological outcomes (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). Psychological outcomes and coping styles were determined with means, and percentages above established cutoff points. Relationships were assessed using Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: The mean HADS anxiety and depression scores were 5.4 and 4.0, respectively. Fourteen men (17%) scored 8–10 and 8 (10%) scored ≥11 suggesting an anxiety state and disorder, respectively. Eight men (10%) had scores suggesting a depressive state and 4 (5%) a depressive disorder. Greater helplessness/hopelessness and anxious preoccupation scores were correlated with greater anxiety (r =.54, p<.0001; r =.66, p<.0001) and depression scores (r =.43, p<.0001; r=.47, p<.0001). Greater fighting spirit correlated with less anxiety (r =-.26, p=.018) and less depression (r = -.42, p < .0001) and with increased post-traumatic growth in the form of new possibilities (r = .26, p = .020), personal strength (r = .33, p = .003), and the total PTGI score (r = .23, p = .043). Greater fatalism was associated with lower total distress measured by the total HADS score (r = -.24, p = .032), and marginally so when assessed separately for anxiety (r = -.22, p = .052) and depression (r = -.21, p = .056). In addition, greater fatalism was significantly associated with greater post-traumatic growth in all five areas assessed by the PTGI subscales (.27 < r < .36; .001 p < .032). Conclusions: As expected men with advanced cancer report anxiety and depression. Coping styles were significantly associated with anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic growth. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Alienation is a state of mind in which an individual feels lonely and has a low level of attachment with her society, fails to get control over the environment and gradually becomes isolated and helpless. Psychiatric disorders refer to what a person feels, thinks and act that lead her towards the mental disturbance or spoil his areas of functioning. The present study investigated the relationship between social alienation and psychiatric disorders among university students. 600 students were selected as a sample from different departments of a university. A scale for alienation developed by Guerrero and Castillo (1966) and a scale for psychiatric disorders developed by Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) were used to collect the data. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and Pearson Correlation. Results showed that certain level of social alienation and psychiatric disorders exist among students, and there was a positive association between social alienation and psychiatric disorders.
