Blood Cancer Phobia and its Relation with Psychological Trauma In this research , the researcher talks about the rising fear from cancer in general and its correlation with psychological trauma .
In the outset , the researcher explains broadly and fully the true nature of the disease widely known as cancer . She provides the reader with an explicit definition of cancer ( blood cancer in specific ) , its reasons , kinds and different theories of its treatment . Then , the researcher knocks the toll of another topic which is phobia . She renders a definition for the word phobia , its roots , sorts , reasons , theories explaining it , causes , elements affecting it , symptoms
and ways of protection and treatment.
After backing the reader with the full idea behind the word phobia , the researcher indulges herself in presenting her reader the topic of cancer phobia . She defines cancer phobia , sorts out its nature and causes . In addition , she passes through the different stages of fear a phobic person inflicted with cancer experiences in his / her trauma . For instance , she discusses how the patient suffering from cancer suffers agonies due to his / her excessive fear of the recurring image of death and / or pain that haunts different episodes of their daily life .
In the end , she talks about the psychological trauma , its features , causes , the theories explaining it . Also , she ponders about cancer as a direct cause or as being a trauma in itself and the different methodes that can be used to relief those inflicted with a trauma .
On the practical level , the researcher figures out the following hypotheses which are :
* The intense psychological trauma has a correlative relation with cancer ( in case of cancer patients ) and this relation is a positive one * There is a difference between those who are inflicted with blood cancer and those who are not in what concerns the measurement of fear and phobia of cancer in general .
* There is a difference between the male inflicted with blood cancer and the female ones in determining the measure of cancer phobia .
* There is a difference in case of those males and females who are not blood cancer patients in defining the measure of cancer phobia .
* In case of those who are not inflicted with blood cancer , the difference pours for the benefit of the females because females give expression for their passions and feelings in a way that surpasses males .
* There is a difference between males inflicted with blood cancer and the females on what concerns the measurement of the intensity of the psychological trauma and the difference points for the benefit of females because females are more compassionate whereas males are more rational .
