Zhang M, Wan M, Wang W, Lin S, Zhang X. Effect of interferon therapy on quality of life in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Sci Rep 2024; 14:2461. [PMID: 38291045 PMCID: PMC10827780 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-51292-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Interferon therapy is the most effective treatment for achieving clinical cure in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. However, the treatment outcomes of interferon therapy are uncertain, multiple side effects can occur during treatment, and the treatment is expensive. Although these characteristics may affect patients' quality of life, research examining this topic is limited. We used a cross-sectional design to examine 100 CHB patients receiving interferon, 100 receiving nucleoside/nucleotide analogues, and 87 receiving non-antiviral treatment. Characteristic information, the Hepatitis B Quality of Life Instrument, Connor Davidson Resilience Scale, and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire were used to collect information. We found that quality of life in the interferon treatment group was higher than that in the non-antiviral treatment and nucleoside/nucleotide analogue treatment groups (p < 0.05). The factors influencing quality of life were resilience, presenteeism, hair loss, and antiviral treatment (p < 0.05). Although interferon therapy has some potential side effects, the results suggested that it did not negatively affect quality of life. Overall, interferon therapy did not have a major impact on CHB patients' daily lives and work.

The association of resilience with self-care and quality of life in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A cross-sectional study. Nurs Open 2023; 10:7738-7748. [PMID: 37817549 PMCID: PMC10643849 DOI: 10.1002/nop2.2015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/12/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM To investigate the association of resilience with self-care and quality of life in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS Data were collected between February and May 2021. Self-care was measured with the self-care of chronic illness inventory, quality of life was measured with the clinical chronic obstructive pulmonary disease questionnaire and resilience was measured with the resilience evaluation scale. Possible confounders were included (sex, age, smoking, time since diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, educational level, social support and pulmonary function). Multiple regression analysis was performed among the determinants, confounders and both outcomes. RESULTS Participants scored fairly well on resilience (mean 22.5). Self-care scored reasonably well (mean maintenance 65.9, mean monitoring 70.9, mean management 59.9 and mean confidence 71.5). Quality of life scored mediocre (mean 2.6). The results of the linear multiple regression were resilience, which is associated with self-care confidence and quality of life when adjusted for possible confounders. This means people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with higher resilience have better self-care confidence and higher quality of life. The outcome contributes to strengthening nursing care and further developing nurses' knowledge. The results can contribute to increasing awareness for healthcare professionals that resilience can potentially increase self-care and quality of life.

Abstract
AIMS This study compared those living with and without an intestinal stoma in relation to physical and psychological health, stress and coping, quality of life and resilience. Also, identifying factors that could be used to promote better self-care in stoma patients in the future. DESIGN A cross-sectional and comparative study design was employed. METHODS Participants were recruited via email and social media (Facebook and Twitter) between August 2018 and March 2019, to complete an online survey. The data were analysed using analysis of variance to examine group difference and a series of hierarchical linear regression analyses determining predictors of psychological well-being. RESULTS Of 278 participants aged 18-68 years who completed the survey, 129 (46%) had a stoma and reported significantly poorer physical health. Approximately one-fifth experienced problems with stoma management. Psychological well-being was mediated by the duration of living with a stoma (under 3 years) and frequency of leaks (weekly and monthly).

Psychological resilience and quality of life among middle-aged and older adults hospitalized with chronic diseases: multiple mediating effects through sleep quality and depression. BMC Geriatr 2023; 23:752. [PMID: 37978451 PMCID: PMC10655408 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-023-04473-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study is intended to examine the multiple mediating roles of sleep quality and depression in the relationship between psychological resilience and quality of life in middle-aged and older adults hospitalized with chronic diseases. METHODS From October 2, 2021, to February 27, 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted using a multistage stratified sampling method among 339 middle-aged and older adults (45 years and over) hospitalized with chronic diseases. These participants were recruited from a hospital in Zhejiang Province, China. The questionnaire included the Aged Cumulative Disease Rating Scale, the Psychological Resilience Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale, the Depression Scale, and the Quality-of-Life Scale. A descriptive analysis was performed to characterize the sample. Linear regression was utilized to evaluate the relationship between psychological resilience and quality of life. Amos 24.0 was used to analyze the multiple mediated effects of sleep quality and depression. RESULTS Psychological resilience exerted a remarkable direct effect on the quality of life in middle-aged and older adults hospitalized with chronic diseases (β = 0.239, 95% CI = 0.125-0.354), which represented 52.98% of the total effect. Through three significantly mediated pathways indirectly affect the quality of life: (1) through the sleep quality pathway (β = 0.115, 95% CI = 0.056-0.201), which represented 25.39% of the total effect; (2) through the depression pathway (β = 0. 060, 95% CI = 0.023-0.114), which represented 13.24% of the total effect; and (3) through both the sleep quality and depression pathway (β = 0. 038, 95% CI = 0.019-0.074), which represented 8.39% of the total effect. The total mediating effect was 47.02%. CONCLUSIONS Sleep quality and depression mediate the relationship between psychological resilience and quality of life in middle-aged and older adults hospitalized with chronic diseases. Therefore, healthcare professionals and stakeholders should be concerned about the sleep status and mental health of middle-aged and older adults hospitalized with chronic diseases, strengthen their attention to psychological resilience, and provide interventions and treatment measures for hospitalized patients who have sleep problems and depressive tendencies.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate associations between resilience and ostomy adjustment in a group of patients with a permanent ostomy. DESIGN Descriptive, correlational study. SUBJECTS AND SETTING One hundred participants were interviewed; most were male (N = 56; 56%), married (N = 77; 77%), illiterate (N = 46; 46%), and self-employed (N = 35; 35%). The most frequent condition leading to ostomy surgery was colorectal cancer (N = 24; 24%). A majority (N = 43; 43%) had been diagnosed with cancer 1 to 5 years before data collection, and 35 (35%) had lived with an ostomy for 1 to 5 years. Participants were recruited from an ostomy clinic of in Kerman, located in southeastern Iran. Data were collected from August to October 2019. METHODS Data were collected via interviews. A questionnaire, developed for purposes of this study, was developed that included items querying demographic and pertinent clinical characteristics and 2 validated instruments, the Resilience Scale and the Ostomy Adjustment Inventory-23 (OAI-23). Data were analyzed using t tests, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation coefficient, and linear regression. RESULTS The mean score for ostomy adjustment was 43.37 (SD = 11.57) indicating less than optimal adjustment to life with an ostomy. The mean score of the Resilience Scale was 104.56 (SD = 25.98); most participants (n = 67, 67%) had very low and low resilience. Resilience was weakly associated with ostomy adjustment; specifically, participants who scored higher on the Resilience Scale tended to score higher on the OAI-23 (r = 0.32, P = .006). Linear regression indicated that resilience had the greatest predictive effect on ostomy adjustment (P = .004). CONCLUSIONS Results suggest that higher levels of resilience may facilitate adjustment to a permanent ostomy. Findings indicate that nurses should design and implement programs to aid ostomy adjustment via resilience assessment.

Abstract
Evidence shows that resilience is crucial to maintain psychological well-being and quality of life in the face of stress and adversity. However, the relationships between resilience and psychological well-being and factors associated with quality of life in Hong Kong Chinese parents of children with cancer are underexplored. This study aimed to examine the interrelationships among resilience, ways of coping, psychological well-being, and quality of life among Chinese parents of children with cancer, and identify factors associated with their quality of life. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 119 Chinese parents of children with cancer at the Hong Kong Children's Hospital between January 2020 and March 2022. Parents' resilience level, ways of coping, depressive symptoms, state anxiety scores, perceived social support, and quality of life were assessed. Participating parents (n = 119) included 98 mothers (82.4%) and 11 parents were from single-parent families (9.2%). Almost half (47.9%) of the parents were potentially at risk for depression. The results showed that participants from single-parent families reported statistically significantly lower levels of resilience (p < 0.001), more depressive symptoms (p < 0.001), and poorer quality of life (p < 0.001) than those who lived with their partners (married). In addition, parents who adopted problem-focused coping strategies reported statistically significantly higher levels of resilience (p < 0.001), fewer depressive symptoms (p < 0.001), and better quality of life (p < 0.001) than those who adopted emotion-focused coping strategies. A multiple regression analysis revealed that resilience (p < 0.001) was associated with quality of life among parents of children with cancer. This study provides further support that resilience is an important factor associated with quality of life in parents of children with cancer. Assessing resilience in parents is an important prerequisite for designing appropriate interventions to increase their resilience and enhance their quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resilience has been associated with greater adherence to treatment, better outcomes, and improved quality of life (QOL) in people with chronic health conditions. This study aimed to identify sociodemographic, treatment accessibility-related, clinical, and psychological variables associated with resilience in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing long-term hemodialysis (>6 months). METHODS This was a multicenter, cross-sectional, and correlational study. The instruments used were the Spanish versions of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale-10, and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-36. The participants were categorized as resilient (with a score of ≥49.37 on the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale) or nonresilient. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify variables with predictive power for the group with the resilient profile. RESULTS Perceived stress, general QOL, and subcomponents of QOL, such as the physical component and burden of kidney disease, were identified as factors related to the resilient profile. DISCUSSION Identifying the factors related to resilient adjustment in patients with advanced CKD may assist health caregivers in improving adherence to treatment, treatment outcomes, and QOL.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to examine the relationship between social support and quality of life in urostomy patients and identify the mediating role of resilience in that relationship. DESIGN A cross-sectional design. METHODS Participants included 232 patients who were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Beijing during March 2020 and August 2020. They completed questionnaires about perceived social support, resilience and ostomy-related quality of life. Structural equation modelling was performed to analyse the data. RESULTS The mean age of patients was 65.79 (SD = 8.67) years, and the mean length of time after surgery was 42.14 (SD = 15.76) months. Urostomy patients' quality of life, social support and resilience were all above moderate. Social support had a positive direct effect on the quality of life and a positive indirect effect on the quality of life through the mediating role of resilience.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and resilience are important aspects of colorectal cancer care, as well as an indicator of patients' health status. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between resilience and HRQoL among patients with a permanent colostomy. METHOD A cross-sectional descriptive correlational design employing the City of Hope Quality of Life Ostomy Questionnaire and the Resilience Scale was adopted. A purposive sample population was recruited. RESULTS The study enrolled 158 colostomy patients. Half the participants (50.6%) were female and the mean age was 58.20 years [standard deviation (SD)=8.70]. Colostomy patients had a mean HRQoL score of 129.61 (SD)=98 (interquartile range: 109-148), with a spiritual domain that was lower than any other HRQoL domain. The Resilience Scale mean score was 106 (interquartile range: 82-126). CONCLUSION This study observed a general low score on the HRQoL Questionnaire and this was reflected in the Resilience Scale score of this group of patients with a colostomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mothers who take care of their disabled children usually suffer from several problems, such as physical, psychological, and social problems. The disability of children can also directly impress the quality of their mothers' lives. This study is going to check out how the disability of children affects the quality of life of the mothers. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to compare the quality of life and resilience of mothers with disabled and typically developed children in Fasa, Iran. METHODS The subjects of this cross-sectional study were 240 mothers (120 mothers having disabled children and 120 mothers with typically developed children) referring to Fasa State Health Centers and Fasa State Welfare Office. They were randomly selected and included in the study. All samples were collected by the convenience sampling method. The data were collected by using the World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The collected data were then analyzed by the SPSS (v.22) software. The results of the descriptive statistics, Chi-square, independent t-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient were at a significant value of P < 0.05. RESULTS The mean score of quality of life of mothers with disabled children on physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains was lower than that of mothers with neurotypically and statistically significant (p < 0.05); however, the mean scores on the resilience of mothers in both groups were not significantly different (p = 0.43).The results of the linear regression analysis showed that, having a disabled child (P < 0.001, t = 10.141), level of education (P < 0.001, t = 2.031), and resilience (P < 0.001, t = 8.205) affect the quality of life. The lower the education level is, the lower the quality of life. And higher resilience increases the quality of life. CONCLUSION The quality of life of mothers with disabled children was lower compared to mothers with typically developed children, but there was no difference between mothers' resiliency in these two groups. These results suggest the necessity to provide supportive and therapeutic programs for improving the quality of life of mothers with disabled children.

Abstract
This study explored the relationship between emotional control, resilience, and mental health in cancer. Patients with cancer were recruited (n = 170). Courtauld Scale of Emotional Control, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the General Health Questionnaire were selected. Assuming the absence of interaction among the variables, they were analyzed separately. Four groups resulted, finding statistically significant differences (F(4, 165) = 18.03; p < 0.001). High resilience and low emotional control seem to be protective attributes, and high emotional control has demonstrated to be a risk factor for mental health. Considering differences in cancer-related psychological variables could derive in personalized psychotherapeutic interventions.

Predictive model of variables associated with health-related quality of life in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease receiving hemodialysis. Qual Life Res 2020; 29:1817-1827. [PMID: 32124263 DOI: 10.1007/s11136-020-02454-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 02/17/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 10% of the global population. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has been identified as a reliable indicator for assessing the effectiveness of treatment in chronic patients, and resilience as a predictor of low levels of stress and higher QoL. The aim of this research is to identify the relationship between HRQoL, resilience, perceived stress, and the different sociodemographic and clinical routine variables of advanced chronic kidney disease (ACKD). METHODS Multicenter, cross-sectional, and correlational study with 155 ACKD patients in the Valencian Community (Spain). The measures for the study included the Kidney Disease Quality of Life 36 (KDQOL-36), the Perceived Stress Scale 10 (PSS10), and the Connors-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). To identify the variables with predictive power over the scales and subscales of the KDQOL-36, multiple regression analyses were performed. RESULTS Average participants' age was 67.39, 68.4% were male, 29% diabetic, and 83.2% had undergone arteriovenous vascular access placement with a Charlson Comorbidity Index of 6 (SD = 2.09). The regression models identified that age and resilience explained up to 26.8% of the variance of the KDQOL-36 total score. As for the physical component of QoL, comorbidity with other clinical conditions, resilience, and the presence of diabetes explained 32.1% of its variance. CONCLUSIONS Resilience was identified as one of the most important predictors of HRQoL. Thus, the development of interventions aiming to improve the level of resilience may have a positive impact over the quality of life of patients with CKD.
