Shiraishi R, Shiraishi N, Fujimoto Y, Ogawa T. Malnutrition suppresses improvements in depression symptoms in older adult patients with stroke undergoing convalescent rehabilitation. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2024; 63:508-514. [PMID: 39053700 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2024.07.013] [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: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/04/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Depression symptoms are both prevalent and associated with poor prognosis in patients with convalescent stroke. Therefore, the improvement of depression symptoms is important for patients with convalescent stroke. This study aimed to examine whether malnutrition diagnosed using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria and its components are associated with improvements in depression symptoms in patients with stroke undergoing rehabilitation. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of older adult patients with convalescent stroke. Inclusion criteria comprised patients aged ≥65 years experiencing their first occurrence of stroke and admitted for rehabilitation therapy. Patients were classified into either the malnutrition or normal nutrition groups based on the diagnosis of malnutrition using the GLIM criteria. The Geriatric Depression Screening Scale (GDS)-15 was used to evaluate depression symptoms. The primary outcome of the study was the change in depression symptoms, indicating a change in GDS score from admission to discharge. The association between malnutrition diagnosed using the GLIM criteria and change in depression symptoms was assessed using multiple regression analysis. Additionally, associations with the constructs of the GLIM criteria were investigated. RESULTS The malnutrition group comprised 64 (45%) patients, with a mean age of 78.2 years; 77 (54%) and 66 (46%) were males and females, respectively. Multiple regression analysis showed that malnutrition, diagnosed using the GLIM criteria (β: -0.306, p < 0.001), was independently associated with changes in depression symptoms. Moreover, the GLIM criterion component of reduced muscle mass (β: -0.235, p < 0.001) demonstrated a negative association with a change in depression symptoms. CONCLUSION Malnutrition and reduced muscle mass, diagnosed using the GLIM criteria in patients with stroke undergoing convalescent rehabilitation, were found to suppress the improvement of depression symptoms.

BMC Health Serv Res 2024; 24:94. [PMID: 38233772 PMCID: PMC10795406 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-023-10457-z] [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: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND While financial toxicity (FT) is prevalent in patients with cancer, young and middle-aged patients with stroke are also affected by FT, which can exacerbate their physical and psychological challenges. Understanding the patient's experience and response measures can further understand the impact of FT on patients with stroke, to help alleviate FT. However, little is known concerning the experience of patients with stroke with FT or their coping strategies. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the experiences of FT in young and middle-aged patients with stroke and their coping strategies. METHODS A phenomenological method was utilized. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 young and middle-aged stroke patients (aged 18-59) between October 2022 and March 2023. The participants were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Shanghai, China. The research team used NVivo 12.0 software. Giorgi's phenomenological analysis method was used to analyse the interview data. RESULTS The interview results were divided into two categories in terms of patients' experiences of FT and their coping strategies. Nine subthemes were constructed. The experience category included four subthemes: (1) taking on multifaceted economic pressure, (2) dual choice of treatment, (3) decline in material living standards, and (4) suffering from negative emotions such as anxiety and depression. The coping strategy category included five subthemes: (1) reducing expenses, (2) improving living habits, (3) proactive participation in medical decision-making, (4) making a job position choice, and (5) seeking social support. CONCLUSIONS FT in young and middle-aged patients with stroke, which affected their physical and mental health, led them to implement strategies for dealing with FT. The Chinese government needs to broaden the reach of health insurance coverage and advance the fairness of healthcare policies. Healthcare professionals must pay active attention to FT in such patients in terms of strengthening their health education and considering their needs and preferences. Patients need to improve their sense of self-efficacy, actively reintegrate into society, and adhere to rehabilitation and treatment. Individuals at a high risk of stroke are recommended to purchase health insurance. Multifaceted efforts are needed to reduce the impact of FT in young and middle-aged patients with stroke.

Abstract
AIM To determine the potential profile classes of anxiety reported by ischaemic stroke survivors in rural China, and to explore the characteristics of patients having different types of post-stroke anxiety. DESIGN A cross-sectional survey. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted by using convenience sampling to collect data from 661 ischaemic stroke survivors in rural Anyang city, Henan Province, China, from July 2021 to September 2021. The parameters included in the study were the socio-demographic characteristics, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and the Barthel index of daily activity ability. Potential profile analysis was done to recognize subgroups of post-stroke anxiety. The Chi-square test was performed to explore the characteristics of individuals with different types of post-stroke anxiety. RESULTS The model fitting indices of stroke survivors supported three classes of anxiety models which were as follows: (a) Class 1, low-level, stable group (65.3%, N = 431); (b) Class 2, moderate-level, unstable group (17.9%, N = 118) and (c) Class 3, high-level, stable group (16.9%, N = 112). The risk factors associated with post-stroke anxiety were female patients, lower levels of education, living alone, lower monthly household income, other chronic diseases, impaired daily activity ability and depression. CONCLUSIONS This study identified three different subgroups of post-ischaemic stroke anxiety and their characteristics in patients in rural China. IMPACT This study has significance in providing evidence for the development of targeted intervention measures to reduce negative emotions in different subgroups of post-stroke anxiety patients. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION In this study, the researchers arranged the time of questionnaire collection with the village committee in advance, gathered the patients to the village committee for face-to-face questionnaire survey and collected the household data of the patients with mobility difficulties.

Abstract
Background Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common psychiatric complication of mental disorders after stroke. Acupuncture for PSD is effective and has few adverse effects. As a classical complementary and alternative therapy, acupuncture is often used in combination with antidepressants for PSD. However, there is a wide variety of acupuncture therapies, and the efficacy of different acupuncture varies. In this study, a network meta-analysis (NMA) was used to assess the clinical efficacy of different acupuncture combined with antidepressants for the treatment of PSD. Methods A comprehensive search of PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and Wan-Fang databases for published randomized controlled trials of acupuncture combined with antidepressants for the treatment of PSD was conducted. The time frame for the literature search was from the date of database creation to April 30, 2022. The Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2.0) was used to evaluate the bias risk of the included studies. Data analysis was performed by STATA 14.0 software. Results A total of 38 literatures with 2,898 patients involving nine acupuncture therapies were included. NMA results were as follows: moxibustion plus antidepressants had the best efficacy in terms of improving total effective rate. Conventional acupuncture plus antidepressants was the most effective in improving HAMD scores. In terms of improving SDS scores, acupressure plus antidepressants was the most effective. In terms of improving NIHSS scores, moxibustion plus antidepressants showed the best results. Conclusion A comparison of the efficacy indicators of the nine different acupuncture therapies combined showed that moxibustion plus antidepressants, conventional acupuncture plus antidepressants and acupressure plus antidepressants were superior in the treatment of PSD. Based on the shortcomings of the existing studies, this conclusion needs to be validated by additional high-quality randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
Background Although post-stroke depression (PSD) affects one-third of patients following an acute stroke, pooled evidence addressing the correlation between a low vitamin D status and the risk of PSD remains inconclusive. Methods Comprehensive database search of Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and Google Scholar was performed from inception to December 2022. The primary outcome was the association of PSD risk with a low vitamin D status, while the secondary outcomes included the relationship between PSD and other risk factors. Results Analysis of seven observational studies published between 2014 and 2022 with 1,580 patients showed pooled incidences of vitamin D deficiency (defined as 25[OH] D levels < 50 nmol/L) and PSD of 60.1 and 26.1%, respectively. Patients with PSD had a lower circulating vitamin D concentration compared to those without [mean difference (MD) =-13.94 nmol/L, 95% CI: -21.83 to -6.05, p = 0.0005, I 2 = 91%, six studies, 1,414 patients]. Meta-analysis also demonstrated a correlation between a low vitamin D level and an increased PSD risk [odd ratio (OR) = 3.25, 95% CI: 1.57-6.69, p = 0.001, I 2 = 78.7%, 1,108 patients], the heterogeneity of which was found to be associated with the incidence of vitamin D deficiency but not female proportion on meta-regression. Besides, female gender (OR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.3-2.44, p = 0.003, I 2 = 31%, five studies, 1,220 patients), hyperlipidemia (OR = 1.55, 95% CI: 1.01-2.36, p = 0.04, I 2 = 0%, four studies, 976 patients), and high National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores (MD = 1.45, 95% CI: 0.58-2.32, p = 0.001, I 2 = 82%, five studies, 1,220 patients) were potential risk factors for PSD. For the primary outcome, the certainty of evidence was very low. Regarding secondary outcomes, the certainty of evidence was low for BMI, female gender, hypertension, diabetes, and stroke history, and very low for age, level of education, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular disease, and NIHSS scores. Conclusion The results suggested an association of a low circulating vitamin D level with an increased risk of PSD. Besides, female gender, hyperlipidemia, high NIHSS score were related to an increased risk or occurrence of PSD. The current study may imply the necessity of routine circulating vitamin D screening in this population.

Physical Exercise and Undergraduate Students’ Subjective Well-Being: Mediating Roles of Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Sleep Quality. Behav Sci (Basel) 2022; 12:bs12090316. [PMID: 36135120 PMCID: PMC9495405 DOI: 10.3390/bs12090316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the association between physical exercise and subjective well-being among undergraduate students, as well as its underlying mechanism—the potential mediating roles of basic psychological need satisfaction and sleep quality—from the perspective of self-determination theory. A sample of 770 undergraduate students (mean age was 19.90 ± 1.15 years old; 464 women) were recruited voluntarily to complete a set of measures examining physical exercise habits, psychological need satisfaction in exercise, sleep quality, and subjective well-being. The results indicated that (1) physical exercise was positively associated with undergraduate students’ subjective well-being; (2) psychological need satisfaction and sleep quality could significantly mediate this relation, which contained three pathways—the independent mediating effects of sleep quality and basic psychological need satisfaction and the sequential mediating effect of them. These findings not only reveal the mediating mechanism underlying the relation between physical exercise and subjective well-being by integrating the psychological and physical factors together but also provide an empirical basis for formulating prevention and intervention programs aimed at promoting the health and subjective well-being of undergraduate students.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Post-stroke depression is associated with stroke recurrence and it is necessary to identify its influencing factors. The study aims to determine whether physical activity during hospitalization, as measured by accelerometer, was associated with depression after discharge in patients with minor ischemic stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective observational study assessed 76 patients with minor ischemic stroke (aged 71.2 years) admitted to an acute care hospital. Depressive symptoms 3 months after discharge from the hospital was assessed using a questionnaire sent by mail. Baseline was set during hospitalization, and accelerometers were used to measure sedentary behavior, light and moderate-to-vigorous physical activities during hospitalization. RESULTS Three months after hospital discharge, 14 patients (18.4%) were placed in the depressive symptom group, with significantly more sedentary behavior (p = 0.021), less light physical activity (p = 0.016) and more depressive symptoms during hospitalization (p = 0.005) than in the non-depressive symptom group. Logistic regression analysis showed that sedentary behavior (odds ratio = 1.130, 95% confidence interval = 1.013‒1.281, p = 0.028) and light-intensity physical activity (odds ratio = 0.853, 95% confidence interval = 0.746‒0.976, p = 0.021) were independent factors for depressive symptoms at three months after discharge. Moderate to vigorous physical activity was not an independent factor. CONCLUSIONS Sedentary behavior and light-intensity physical activity during hospitalization were associated with depressive symptoms in patients with minor ischemic stroke after discharge. Reducing sedentary behavior and increasing light-intensity physical activity as part of inpatient rehabilitation may help prevent post-stroke depression.
