Prediction of Psychological Helplessness and Fault Tolerance Based on Emotional Alexithymia in Women with Breast Cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background & Aims: Cancer is a chronic disease that has been increasingly considered by researchers, and breast cancer is one of the most common cancer types in the world, accounting for 50% of deaths. In Iran, breast cancer (22 per 100,000) is the most common cancer among women. In addition, breast cancer affects Iranian women about a decade earlier than in western countries. Cancer-related crisis causes imbalance and disharmony in the thoughts, body, and soul, but the most common condition for the patient is alexithymia during this period. Emotions are a set of schemas based on information processing and include symbolic and non-symbolic processes and visualizations. One of the most important factors to consider in patients with breast cancer is psychological helplessness. Various studies show that people with specific diseases have lower mental health. Many of them suffer from anxiety, anger, sadness, social isolation, and depression, which together cause the person to become psychologically helpless. Another psychological variable that is associated with or can affect cancer is fault tolerance. Failure occurs when a person fails to achieve the desired goal. Failure is generally understood as a state of inhibition in satisfying the motive or interference in goal response or in the mediating action that leads to that goal. Fault tolerance refers to a person's ability to show resilience in the face of repeated failure and a hostile environment. Failure to find local and foreign researches on women with breast cancer makes it necessary to research in this area and determine whether psychological helplessness and fault tolerance can be predicted based on alexithymia in women with breast cancer. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional predictive correlational study was performed on 230 women with breast cancer who were referred to the specialized surgery and cancer clinic of Dr. Mousavi Hospital in Gorgan and the comprehensive cancer center of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Sari in 2018. The instruments used to collect data included the demographic questionnaire, the Toronto Emotional Dysfunction Questionnaire, the Psychological Helplessness Questionnaire, and the Fault Tolerance Questionnaire. The data were then analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression in SPSS version 16. The confidence level was considered at P<0.01. Results: Regarding the alexithymia variable, 3.25% of the patients had difficulty identifying emotions and regarding the psychological helplessness variable, 7.78% of the patients had symptoms of high anxiety, and regarding fault intolerance variable, 6.17% of the patients had symptoms of intolerance of injustice. There was a direct relationship between the variables of alexithymia and the subscales of depression (P<0.003), anxiety

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
