design. They were approached through a message that was placed on both the NVLE
internet site and the patients magazine. When given approval by the Medical
Ethics Committee of the St. Elisabeth Hospital, they will receive an
information letter together with an informed consent. After informed consent,
they will be asked to complete a set of questionnaires, which takes
approximately 30 minutes. These questionnaires include a demographic
questionnaire for e.g. information regarding medicine use , the *Impact of
Event Scale* for (symptoms of) distress, the *Threatening Medical Situations
Inventory* for cognitive coping, the *SCL-90* for psychopathology and the
"WOHQOL" for measuring quality of life.
