Effectiveness of a web-enabled psychoeducational resource for postpartum depression and anxiety among women in British Columbia. Arch Womens Ment Health 2024:10.1007/s00737-024-01468-8. [PMID: 38709329 DOI: 10.1007/s00737-024-01468-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Postpartum depression (PPD) and anxiety (PPA) affect nearly one-quarter (23%) of women in Canada. eHealth is a promising solution for increasing access to postpartum mental healthcare. However, a user-centered approach is not routinely taken in the development of web-enabled resources, leaving postpartum women out of critical decision-making processes. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, usability, and user satisfaction of PostpartumCare.ca, a web-enabled psychoeducational resource for PPD and PPA, created in partnership with postpartum women in British Columbia. METHODS Participants were randomized to either an intervention group (n = 52) receiving access to PostpartumCare.ca for four weeks, or to a waitlist control group (n = 51). Measures evaluating PPD (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) and PPA symptoms (Perinatal Anxiety Screening Scale) were completed at baseline, after four weeks, and after a two-week follow-up. User ratings of website usability and satisfaction and website metrics were also collected. RESULTS PPD and PPA symptoms were significantly reduced for the intervention group only after four weeks, with improvements maintained after a two-week follow-up, corresponding with small-to-medium effect sizes (PPD: partial η2 = 0.03; PPA: partial η2 = 0.04). Intervention participants were also more likely than waitlist controls to recover from clinical levels of PPD symptoms (χ 2 (1, n = 63) = 4.58, p = .032) and PostpartumCare.ca's usability and satisfaction were rated favourably overall. CONCLUSION Findings suggest that a web-enabled psychoeducational resource, created in collaboration with patient partners, can effectively reduce PPD and PPA symptoms, supporting its potential use as a low-barrier option for postpartum women. TRIAL REGISTRATION Protocol for this trial was preregistered on NIH U.S. National Library of Medicine, ClinicalTrials.gov as of May 2022 (ID No. NCT05382884).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Various psychological interventions have been demonstrated to be effective at preventing anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancer. However, it remains unclear which intervention is the best option. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of various psychological interventions on anxiety and depression in symptomatic patients with GI cancer. METHODS The PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, WanFang Data, and VIP databases were systematically searched from inception to June 2023 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The primary outcomes were anxiety and depression levels. Two reviewers independently selected the studies, extracted the data based on prespecified criteria, and evaluated the risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool. Stata 14.0 was used to conduct network meta-analysis. RESULTS Thirty-two RCTs (2453 patients) involving 9 psychological interventions were included. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT; mean difference [MD] = -4.98, 95% CI (-7.04, -2.93), relaxation therapy (MD = -4.39, 95% CI (-7.90, -0.88), reminiscence therapy (MD = -5.01, 95% CI (-8.20, -1.81)), and narrative nursing (MD = -4.89, 95% CI (-8.54, -1.23)) significantly reduced anxiety levels, and CBT (MD = -2.15, 95% CI (-4.28, -0.02), reminiscence therapy (MD = -7.20, 95% CI (-10.48, -3.91), and narrative nursing (MD = -7.20, 95% CI (-10.48, -3.91)) significantly reduced depression levels in patients with GI cancer compared with conventional nursing care. CONCLUSION The findings of this network meta-analysis revealed that CBT, reminiscence therapy and narrative nursing can be actively considered as part of sequential therapy to reduce anxiety and depression levels in patients with GI cancer.

Development and Psychometric Validation of the Breast Cancer Stigma Assessment Scale for Women with Breast Cancer and Its Survivors. Healthcare (Basel) 2024; 12:420. [PMID: 38391796 PMCID: PMC10887980 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare12040420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The increase in breast cancer cases and breast cancer survival makes it advisable to quantify the impact of the health-related stigma of this disease. PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To develop and validate a breast cancer stigma scale in Spanish. METHODS Women diagnosed with, or survivors of, breast cancer were included. The development of the Breast Cancer Stigma Assessment Scale (BCSAS) involved both a literature review and personal interviews. Content validity was assessed using a Delphi study and a pilot test; construct validity was evaluated using an exploratory factor analysis; and convergent validity was assessed using six scales. Cronbach's α internal consistency and test-retest reliability were used to determine the reliability of the scales. RESULTS 231 women responded to the 28-item scale. The BCSAS showed good reliability, with α = 0.897. Seven factors emerged: concealment (α = 0.765), disturbance (α = 0.772), internalized stigma (α = 0.750), aesthetics (α = 0.779), course (α = 0.599), danger (α = 0.502), and origin (α = 0.350). The test-retest reliability was 0.830 (p < 0.001). Significant correlation was observed with event centrality (r = 0.701), anxiety-depression (r = 0.668), shame (r = 0.645), guilt (r = 0.524), and quality of life (r = -0.545). CONCLUSIONS The BCSAS is a reliable and valid measure of stigma in women with breast cancer and its survivors. It could be useful for detecting stigma risk and establishing psychotherapeutic and care priorities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of cancer patients. Psychoeducation is often used in the management of cancer-related fatigue. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to synthesize the effects of psychoeducational interventions on cancer-related fatigue. METHODS This article is a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies. The 11 electronic databases were searched, and studies using psychoeducational interventions to manage cancer-related fatigue were included. Data synthesis was performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software version 3.0. The random-effects model was used to pool the effect size for intervention. The subgroup analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of the characteristics of psychoeducational interventions. This study was reported according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Intervention version 6.3 and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines. RESULTS This analysis included 10 studies with a total of 1369 participants. Most of the included studies compared the psychoeducational intervention group with the passive control group. Our meta-analysis revealed that psychoeducational intervention has a positive medium effect on improving cancer-related fatigue with a low quality of evidence. Subgroup analyses indicated no difference between group and individual interventions, between face-to-face and digital interventions, or between ≤3 and >3 sessions. CONCLUSIONS Psychoeducational interventions can improve cancer-related fatigue. Additional well-designed randomized controlled studies are needed to upgrade the quality of evidence for psychoeducational interventions on cancer-related fatigue. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Nurses may practice psychoeducational interventions to manage cancer-related fatigue and may use this study design for randomized controlled studies for psychoeducational interventions on cancer-related fatigue.

Abstract
Objective In this study, we aim to establish and evaluate a predictive model for post-treatment anxiety state based on basic patient attributes and pre-treatment SAS scores, with the expectation that this model will guide clinical precision intervention. Methods Data were collected from 606 patients with breast cancer who underwent surgery at our hospital between January 1, 2015 and December 30, 2018 and 144 newly diagnosed patients with breast cancer who were admitted between June 1, 2019 and December 30, 2019, for a total of 750 patients with breast cancer. The relationship between SAS_A scores and prognosis was verified by analyzing patient baseline characteristics, follow-up data, pre-treatment self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) scores, and SAS_A scores in follow-up period after the end of treatment. A risk prediction model was developed in view of the SAS_A scores, which was then screened, validated, and simplified by scoring, with a nomogram plotted. Results The SAS_A score can be utilized to differentiate prognosis. In K-M analysis, the high SAS_A score group had a significantly poorer progression-free survival rate than the low score group, p-value < 0.0001. Through model feature selection and clinical analysis, all variables were finally incorporated to establish a predictive model with a ROC AUC of 0.721 (0.637-0.805) for the validation set and external data, and an AUC of 0.810 (0.719-0.902) for external data, demonstrating good predictive performance. Calibration curves and probability distribution maps were constructed. DCA and CIC analyses demonstrated that model intervention could boost clinical benefits more effectively than intervention for all patients. Conclusion Using a predictive model to guide clinical management for anxiety in breast cancer patients is feasible, but additional research is required.

J Public Health Res 2023; 12:22799036221146901. [PMID: 36643605 PMCID: PMC9834624 DOI: 10.1177/22799036221146901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Breast cancer patients with post-chemotherapy had self-care deficit problems. The patient is unable to perform activities of daily living which can decrease the quality of life. One of the factors that affected self-care deficit among breast cancer patients was inadequate information. This study aimed to determine the effects of peer support psychoeducation based on experiential learning on the self-care demand. Design and methods This study used a quasi-experimental design with pretest and posttest. The independent variable of the study was the application of peer support psychoeducation based on experiential learning and the dependent variable was the self-care demand. The inclusion criteria in this study were breast cancer patients with post-chemotherapy. The exclusion criteria in this study were patients who were unconscious. We selected the experimental and control group randomly. The total sample in this study was 60 people, 30 respondents for the experiment group and 30 respondents for the control group. Peer support psychoeducation based on experiential learning was developed from Wauchope's psychoeducational theory, Orem's self-care, and David Kolb's experiential learning. We used a self-report questionnaire to measure self-care demand. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results Peer support psychoeducation based on experiential learning has a significant effect on self-care demand, namely ADL (p = 0.002), pain management (p = 0.002), nutritional management (p = 0.000), and rest and sleep (p = 0.000). Conclusion Psychoeducation based on experiential learning was recommended for nursing care or physician to increase self-care demand.

Abstract
Introduction Patients with breast cancer (BC) after surgery are prone to negative physiological and psychosocial discomforts which cause the poor quality of life (QoL) among the patients. Therefore, how to improve the disease management ability of BC patients and to alleviate these cancer-related negative experience are particularly important. This study purpose to explore the potential effects of personalized care based on OPT model on the perceived control and the QoL among patients with BC, and to provide effective clinical nursing intervention for BC patients. Methods In this study, nonsynchronous controlled experiments were carried out on patients with BC, and the patients were randomly allocated to the control (n = 40) and intervention (n = 40) groups. The patients in the control group were given routine care; while the patients in the intervention group were given personalized care based on OPT model. The perceived control ability and QoL of the two groups were measured before and after the intervention. Results There were no significant differences in the total score of cancer experience and control efficacy of BC patients between the control group (61.15 ± 5.659, 41.80 ± 4.702) and the intervention group (60.58 ± 7.136, 42.15 ± 5.550) before intervention (p > 0.05). After the intervention, the total score of cancer experience in the intervention group (54.80 ± 8.519) was significantly lower than that in the control group (59.575 ± 7.331), with significant differences (p < 0.05). The total score of control efficacy in the intervention group (49.78 ± 6.466) was significantly higher than that in the control group (43.32 ± 6.219), with significant differences (p < 0.05). Compared with the control group, patients in intervention groups showed significant improvement in QoL after the intervention (p < 0.05). Conclusion Personalized care based on OPT model plays a significant role in improving the level of perceived control and the QoL among patients with BC.Clinical Trial Registration:www.chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR2300069476.
