Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival in pediatric heart transplantation has improved since the first successful transplant over 35 years ago leading to increasing numbers of patients entering adulthood. We sought to examine quality of life and various lifetime achievements in our institutional population of long-term adult survivors of pediatric heart transplant. METHODS Participants ≥18 years of age who received a heart transplant as a pediatric patient (<18 years old), and who have survived ≥10 years post-transplant, completed two self-report surveys: (1) Ferrans and Powers QLI cardiac version which reports a measure of life satisfaction with a range of 0 (very dissatisfied) to 1 (very satisfied); and (2) CHONY Pediatric Heart Transplant Life Achievement Survey to examine lifetime achievement. RESULTS Sixty-two and sixty-five participants completed the Ferrans and Powers QLI cardiac version and CHONY Pediatric Heart Transplant Life Achievement Survey. The mean overall QLI was 0.75 ± 0.14 with the most satisfaction in the family domain. QLI scores were analyzed by age at initial transplant, gender, indication for transplant, and whether patients currently followed by pediatric or adult providers, with no statistically significant differences noted. Seventy-two percent of participants demonstrated stable employment or schooling. Around thirty percent of participants showed the ability to reach academic milestones including college and post-graduate education and ten percent to start their own families. CONCLUSIONS Our cohort of long-term adult survivors of pediatric heart transplant report a quality of life with scores thought to be reflective of a satisfactory quality of life, and many demonstrate achievement of major life milestones.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to determine the effect of psychosocial distress and self-transcendence on resilience in individuals receiving cancer treatment. This descriptive-correlational study was conducted with individuals receiving cancer treatment (N = 105) from in the chemotherapy unit of a private hospital. CONCLUSION According to the results of the regression analysis, it was determined that psychosocial distress had a negative relationship with resilience, while self-transcendence had a positive relationship with resilience (p < 0.05). PRACTICE IMPLICATION The results show that resilience is negatively affected by psychosocial distress and positively affected by self-transcendence. Psychiatric nurses can help patients with cancer find sources of self-transcendence and resilience.

Abstract
AIMS This study examined the relationships between self-transcendence and depressive symptoms, self-esteem, and locus of control in persons with substance abuse disorder (SUDs). METHODS This descriptive-relational study examined 115 participants who had been diagnosed with SUD. RESULTS High self-transcendence scores were positively associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms, higher levels of self-esteem, and internal locus of control. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Mental health nurses are effective at finding and maintaining resources that promote self-transcendence and support the potential and well-being of individuals with SUD. This study addresses a research gap regarding self-transcendence in such individuals; it provides a basis for nurses to develop interventions to strengthen the mental health of patients and conduct future investigations on the topic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quality of life (QOL) has become an important indicator for evaluating patients' symptoms and their overall satisfaction with life. Thus, examining QOL is essential for fully understanding the life satisfaction of breast cancer survivors (BCS). However, selecting the appropriate instrument for QOL measurement is challenging, and few studies have compared disease-specific and generic QOL measures and how they reflect the impact of cancer-related symptoms on QOL in BCS. We examined QOL in BCS using both disease-specific and generic instruments and compared their representation of the QOL impacts of anxiety, depression, sleep, fatigability, and posttraumatic growth. METHODS This study involved analysis of follow-up data for an exercise intervention called the BLESS (Better Life after cancer, Energy, Strength, and Support) program, which included 40 BCS treated at 1 medical center in South Korea. Their QOL was assessed using both the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) and Quality of Life Index (QLI). RESULTS Both FACT-B and QLI total scores revealed that Korean BCS had low levels of QOL. Furthermore, both FACT-B and QLI total scores were significantly related to anxiety, depression, sleep, fatigability, and posttraumatic growth in the participants. Notably, multivariate regression analysis of FACT-B and QLI total scores showed different predictors for QOL: with the FACT-B, depression was the only significant predictor, while with the QLI, posttraumatic growth was the only significant predictor. CONCLUSION The selection of a given QOL instrument may affect the overall findings and interpretation of the impacts of related symptoms. The FACT-B should be considered for studies of symptoms such as depression, while the QLI is more appropriate for examining overall QOL and posttraumatic growth.

Abstract
Objective The present study examined self-transcendence of Japanese female breast cancer patients with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 women with HBOC in their thirties to sixties, who consented to participate in the study. The obtained data were analyzed using a modified grounded theory approach. Results The analysis yielded seven categories of self-transcendence in women with HBOC: (1) the ability to face oneself while seeking optimal strategies to continue living; (2) the ability to come to terms with blood conditions inherited from previous generations; (3) the ability to use one's own experiences as a patient with HBOC to help others; (4) the ability to share mutual support with others; (5) the ability to accept the diverse views on HBOC; (6) the ability to break free from fixed ideas and live with HBOC; and (7) the ability to live with future perspectives. Conclusions The self-transcendence of Japanese female breast cancer patients with HBOC can be described as not giving up; confronting one's lineage, which is passed down from generation to generation, even as one is haunted and emotionally affected by the lifelong risk of developing cancer or facing death; and valuing not just oneself but also others through interactions with them. These abilities formed the foundation for the self-transcendence of the women in this study. In addition, because the women with this condition started valuing not just themselves but also others, they developed the ability to accept the diverse views surrounding HBOC and to coexist with their condition while being forward-looking.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To synthesize research results on self-transcendence among people affected by cancer and their caregivers to inform oncology nursing practices that promote well-being across the cancer trajectory. Self-transcendence is an inherent capacity to expand self-boundaries beyond the person's usual form to create something meaningful, whether it is a new purpose, perspective, situation, or artifact that fosters well-being. DATA SOURCES Peer-reviewed, research-based publications, and peer-reviewed theoretical publications were used. CONCLUSION Research results are consistent with Reed's self-transcendence theory that proposes self-transcendence as a healing process for application in nursing practice. Self-transcendence facilitates well-being through the creative experiences afforded by expanding self-boundaries intrapersonally, interpersonally, and transpersonally. Nurses may use this knowledge in various practices that support well-being among people who have cancer and their families. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE Five comprehensive practice implications to support self-transcendence and foster well-being in individuals affected by cancer and their caregivers were synthesized from the research-based literature and aligned with Reed's self-transcendence theory.

Abstract
This descriptive study aimed to identify factors that can influence the quality of life of psoriasis patients. A total of 118 psoriasis outpatients completed a questionnaire consisting of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Psoriasis Life Stress Inventory (PLSI), Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale-Community form (MUIS-C), Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale (CES-D), and Self-Reported Severity Score (SRSS). The Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) was calculated. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and stepwise multiple regression using SPSS/WIN 26.0. The average score of the DLQI was 14.19 ± 6.83 (range 0–30); the DLQI showed statistically significant differences according to age (F = 4.02, p = 0.021) and smoking type (F = 7.49, p = 0.001). The dermatology-related quality of life was significantly affected by psoriasis-related stress (β = 0.37, p < 0.001), depression (β = 0.35, p < 0.001), and subjective severity (β = 0.19, p = 0.005); these variables explained 60.7% of the variance in the dermatology-related quality of life (F = 61.34, p < 0.001). The results demonstrated that psoriasis-related stress, depression, and perceived severity of psoriasis should be considered when developing nursing interventions to improve patients’ quality of life.

Abstract
Background Breast cancer care today involves state-of-the-art biomedical treatment but can fail to address the broader psychosocial and quality-of-life (QoL) issues associated with the transition to breast cancer survivorship. This scoping review examines the evidence on the influence of psychosocial determinants on QoL in breast cancer survivors. Methods Scoping review methodology was used to: (1) identify the research question(s); (2) identify relevant studies; (3) undertake study selection; (4) extract data; (5) collate, summarise and report the results. Results A total of 33 studies met the inclusion criteria. The majority of studies were conducted in the US (n = 22, 67%) and were mainly cross-sectional (n = 26, 79%). Sixteen psychosocial determinants of QoL were identified. Social support (n = 14, 42%), depression (n = 7, 21%) and future appraisal and perspective (n = 7, 21%) were the most frequently investigated determinants. Twelve different QoL measures were used. A range of different measurement tools were also used per psychosocial determinant (weighted average = 6). The 14 studies that measured the influence of social support on QoL employed 10 different measures of social support and 7 different measures of QoL. In general, across all 33 studies, a higher level of a positive influence and a lower level of a negative influence of a psychosocial determinant was associated with a better QoL e.g. higher social support and lower levels of depression were associated with a higher/better QoL. For some determinants such as spirituality and coping skills the influence on QoL varied, but these determinants were less commonly investigated. Conclusion Consensus around measures of QoL and psychological determinants would be valuable and would enable research to determine the influence of psychosocial determinants on QoL adequately. Research in other healthcare settings beyond the US is required, in order to understand the influence of organisation and follow-up clinical and supportive care on psychosocial determinants and QoL and to improve the quality of care in breast cancer survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A culture of serious overwork in South Korea, more than other developed countries, may impact symptoms and quality of life (QOL) experienced by Korean breast cancer survivors (BCS). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine health-related QOL and influencing factors in BCS in Seoul, Korea, who have recovered from treatment for at least 1 year and returned to normal life and work. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, 199 BCS completed a self-administered questionnaire in Seoul, Korea. RESULTS Mean QOL scores were lower than expected, with 49% of the variance explained by depressive symptoms, physical fatigability, cognitive impairment, and social support. Psychological distress was high (67.8%), along with anxiety (47.2%) and depressive symptoms (36.7%). Participants reported a high prevalence of physical fatigability (71.1%), sleeping an average of only 6 hours per night, with 58.9% reporting poor quality sleep. CONCLUSIONS Quality of life was lower in Korean BCS than comparable studies in the United States, although participants received care at a premiere medical center. Depressive symptoms and anxiety were common and did not taper off over the 5 years after diagnosis, unlike BCS elsewhere. Korean survivors experienced significant physical fatigability, much higher than reported in a US study of mixed male and female cancer survivors. Overwork was not a significant predictor of QOL, although 30% of employed women reported working 45 to 90 hours weekly. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Findings demonstrate the importance of continued efforts to mitigate these symptoms in clinical survivorship care, as well as future research, to provide avenues for improving QOL for BCS, particularly in Korea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient engagement (PE) is a key factor for early-stage breast cancer survivors during survivorship, yet little is known about what factors may contribute to PE. OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to describe the relationship between sociodemographic factors, survivorship variables, and PE and explore how variations in these variables might contribute to PE in breast cancer survivors. METHODS A cross-sectional, web-based self-report national survey was conducted to assess sociodemographic factors and survivorship variables: health-related quality of life (HRQOL) as measured by 7-item Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General, fear of cancer recurrence, cancer health literacy, and 2 measures of PE (Patient Activation and Knowing Participation in Change) in breast cancer survivors. One open-ended question assessed additional survivorship concerns. Data were analyzed via bivariate associations and backward linear regression modeling in SPSS. RESULTS The sample (N = 303), equally dispersed across the United States, was predominantly middle-aged (mean, 50.70 [SD, 14.01]), white, non-Hispanic women. Knowing Participation in Change and Patient Activation regression models indicate HRQOL was significantly associated with PE (P ≤ .001), whereas findings related to fear of cancer recurrence lacked significance. In the Knowing Participation in Change regression model, HRQOL, social support, and level of education were all significantly associated with PE (P ≤ .001). CONCLUSIONS Breast cancer survivors with higher HRQOL, greater social support, and higher levels of education were more likely to have higher levels of PE. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Findings may provide insight as to which survivors may be ready to engage in SC and those who may need more specific tailoring of resources and support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uncertainty about or related to cancer-related treatment and prognosis is commonly experienced by patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and might be associated with unmet care needs. However, their dynamic associations have not been examined in this population. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore change in unmet care needs and uncertainty under different levels of uncertainty (low vs high) before discharge and the significant factors related to change of uncertainty in patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after treatment. METHODS A set of questionnaires was used to collect data including symptom distress, supportive care needs, and uncertainty of illness before discharge (T0), 1 month after discharge (T1), and 2 months after discharge (T2). The significant factors related to uncertainty were identified by generalized estimating equations. RESULTS The patients with high uncertainty, who were younger in age, had significantly higher levels of symptom distress and unmet care needs. Before discharge, the patients' highest levels of unmet needs were psychological in the high-uncertainty group. Patients with jobs, higher unmet care needs, and high uncertainty before discharge had higher levels of uncertainty over time. CONCLUSIONS The changes in uncertainty were significantly associated with unmet care needs over time, and the baseline level of uncertainty was a significant factor related to the change of uncertainty. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Healthcare providers should take into account each individual's age, levels of psychological need, and symptom distress and should offer personalized information related to psychological needs and symptom management to decrease levels of uncertainty before discharge.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of meditation programs on nurses’ power and quality of life. In this study, Barrett’s power theory derived from Rogers’ unitary human being science was used as a theoretical framework. A randomized controlled design with 50 recruited and randomly allocated participants was used. The results demonstrated that the eight-week meditation program significantly improved nurses’ power and quality of life. These results suggest that meditation has positive effects on power and quality of life.

Abstract
Self-transcendence changes how older adults perceive themselves, their relationships with others, the material world, and the metaphysical or spiritual dimension. It is associated with multiple indicators of well-being. The purpose of this pilot study (N = 20) was to examine the feasibility and effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention to increase self-transcendence and well-being in older adults. Data were analyzed using generalized estimating equations. All variables trended in the directions hypothesized. Self-transcendence increased in the intervention group and decreased in the control group but not significantly. The group × time interaction for life satisfaction was significant (z = 2.89, p = .004). This feasibility study supports further investigation to assess the effectiveness of the intervention in a larger sample.
