This Special Issue, titled “Cognitive and Emotional Well-Being in Cancer Care,” explores the cognitive and psychological challenges experienced by cancer patients and survivors, with a focus on promoting emotional well-being, psychological adjustment, and quality of life throughout cancer care and survivorship.
We welcome original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses examining cognitive and emotional well-being, psychological interventions, treatment adherence, and patient-centered outcomes across different stages of cancer care. Key topics include:
- Cancer-related cognitive changes, including memory, attention, executive functioning, and their impact on daily life.
- Emotional distress, psychological adjustment, and resilience among cancer patients and survivors.
- Psychological interventions, cognitive rehabilitation, and psychosocial support for patients and caregivers.
- Treatment adherence, quality of life, and patient-centered outcomes in cancer care.
- Innovative approaches, including digital and technology-assisted interventions, to support cognitive and emotional well-being.
By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, this Special Issue aims to advance evidence-based strategies that enhance cognitive functioning, emotional well-being, and quality of life among people affected by cancer. We look forward to your contributions.
