The Emotional Well-Being and Ecoonomic Burden Research Network (EMOT-ECON) is an initiative to advance research and generate new knowledge about the impact of economic burden of disease on emotional well-being.
Conceptual Framework
The EMOT-ECON conceptual model is adapted from an established coping theory. [1]
The primary appraisal of the economic burden, i.e., potential stressor, may be influenced by a number of health, demographic, social, socioeconomic, and psychological factors.
If economic burden of disease is appraised as a stressor, then secondary appraisal may lead to different emotion- and problem- focused coping. Ultimately, the coping behaviors may impact emotional well-being positively or negatively. This framework includes coping behaviors that cancer patients with financial burden adopt. [2]
This framework will serve as a guide to the work of the Network. As the literature expands, this conceptual model will too develop.
