Summary

Young female counselees (18-40 years) belonging to HBOC families with a known mutation on BRCA-genes or not, receive a lot of information regarding their cancer risk. Information sources are numerous and sometimes contradictory. Unfortunately, these women face these issues at a key moment of there identity construction (self, relationship, sexuality) while they are not yet concerned by health prevention measures. A special psychoeducational intervention was designed to help these women to better cope with these difficulties.

Intervention consists in a week-end session in a thermal center (SPA) during which they will attend short conferences given by specialists (prevention measures, prophylactic surgery, assisted procreation, epidemiology...) and participate to role games and group sharing.

Intervention will be evaluated using self-questionnaires completed before intervention and during the following year.

psychoeducation

Participants will attend conferences where experts present the state of the art in various domains: * Latest knowledge in oncogenetics * Recommendations and morbidity of prophylactic breast surgeries and annexectomy * Epidemiology of HBOC and comparative mortality risks with other syndromes/life habits * How to perform the periodic breast screening * Assisted medical procreation and embryo selection * Importance of nutrition and physical activity as risk modulator * Life habits: how one can increase or lower the cancer risk (tobacco, alcohol...)? * Description of the assistance program (GENAUV) to help counselees exposed to a high cancer risk follow their medical screening. The remaining time after this information, i.e. about half of the week-end, will comprise group activities, in particular role games (Moreno psychodrama approach) and group sharing under the supervision of a psychotherapist.
