Influence of reminiscence therapy on mental health and quality of life in elderly patients with unresectable, metastatic gastrointestinal cancer

Reminiscence therapy (RT) attenuates psychological disorders in cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of RT on anxiety, depression, spiritual well-being, and quality of life in elderly patients with unresectable, metastatic gastrointestinal cancer. A total of 222 elderly patients with unresectable, metastatic gastrointestinal cancer were randomized into RT group (RT plus usual care, n=112) or control group (usual care, n=110) with a 6-month intervention. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale for Anxiety (HADS-A) and Depression (HADS-D), Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-Sp), and Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) were evaluated at month (M)0, M1, M3, and M6. Concerning the primary outcome, HADS-A score at M6 decreased in the RT group compared to the control group (P=0.005). As to secondary outcomes, the RT group showed decreased HADS-A scores at M3, anxiety rate at M3, HADS-D scores at M3 and M6, depression rate at M6, as well as greater FACIT-Sp scores at M1, M3, and M6 vs the control group (all P<0.050). Additionally, QLQ-C30 global health score was elevated at M1 (P=0.046) and M6 (P=0.005), functions score was greater at M6 (P=0.038), and symptoms score was lower at M3 (P=0.019) in the RT group than in the control group. Subgroup analysis revealed that the addition of RT was more effective for patients with anxiety or depression at baseline. In summary, RT alleviated anxiety and depression, and improved the spiritual well-being and quality of life within 6 months in elderly patients with unresectable, metastatic gastrointestinal cancer.

Introduction. Financial debt during surgery residency can affect professional performance, life decisions, and psychological well-being. The information available in Colombia is limited. The objective of this study is to quantify the financial debt of the general surgery resident, identify the associated factors and evaluate their effect on psychological well-being. Methods. A cross-sectional study was carried out. A total of 380 residents were invited to complete a survey on aspects related to their financial debt, and the WHO-index to evaluate their psychological well-being. Results. A total of 259 residents participated in the study (67.6%). 56% have an average economic debt of $88,000,000 COP (US$21,826). High debt was related to level of residence, type of institution (private), and loan application. Some mental disorder was identified in 14.7% and a low level of psychological well-being in 56.4% of the participants. No association was identified between high financial debt and low psychological well-being. Conclusions. Economic debt has an effect on residents. Financial debt among surgical residents in Colombia is highly prevalent; however, it does not correlate with poor psychological well-being. Self-determination favors psychological well-being in the postgraduate course in general surgery. Likewise, the need for financial education in residents is imminent. New studies are required that thoroughly evaluate the causes of poor well-being.

Mediating effect of job burnout on occupational stress and subjective well-being among research and development enterprise employees in Minhang of Shanghai / 环境与职业医学

Background Under the backdrop of the national innovation-driven development strategy, the increasing occupational stress and job burnout among employees are noteworthy for their impact on employees' subjective well-being. Objective To clarify the status, distribution characteristics, and the relationship between subjective well-being, occupational stress, and job burnout of employees in research and development (R&D) enterprises, in order to improve their subjective well-being. Methods A total of 3366 employees from R&D departments at 7 enterprises in Minhang District of Shanghai were selected. The well-being level of the research subjects was investigated by using the World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) that yielded total scores from 0 to 25, and a higher total score indicated a higher well-being level; the levels of occupational stress and job burnout were investigated by using the Chinese version of the Job Content Questionnaire, and the Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS). The scores of WHO-5, JDC, and MBI-GS were incorporated into structural equation modeling (SEM) as numerical variables to analyze their relationship. Results The scores of subjective well-being, occupational stress, and job burnout of employees in the R&D enterprises were 13.30±6.09, 1.12±0.45, and 2.18±1.12, respectively. The positive rates of occupational stress and job burnout were 44.4% and 70.9% respectively, and the positive rate of severe job burnout was 11.7%. There were statistically significant differences in the score of subjective well-being among the participants by gender, age, educational level, marital status, registered residence, working seniority, and jobs (P<0.05); there were statistically significant differences in the positive rate of occupational stress by gender, educational level, marital status, working seniority, and jobs (P<0.05); there were statistically significant differences in the positive rate of job burnout by gender, age, educational level, marital status, registered residence, working seniority, and jobs (P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between subjective well-being and occupational stress (r=−0.1747, P < 0.01), a negative correlation between subjective well-being and job burnout (r=−0.2987, P < 0.01), and a positive correlation between occupational stress and job burnout (r=0.3342, P < 0.01). A structural equation containing partial mediating effect of job burnout on the relationship between occupational stress and subjective well-being was established, and the partial effect accounting for 52.5% of the total effect. Conclusion The job burnout among employees in R&D companies partially mediates the impact of occupational stress on subjective well-being. Reducing the level of job burnout will help alleviate occupational stress and thus improve employees' subjective well-being.

Associations of well-being and sleep quality with occupational stress among locomotive engineers in the Yangtze River Delta region / 环境与职业医学

Background Occupational stress is an important factor affecting the health of working population, wellness is a topic that has received much attention in recent years, and sleep quality and wellness have a certain impact on occupational stress. Objective To understand the current situation of occupational stress among locomotive engineers in in the Yangtze River Delta, explore the influence of well-being and sleep quality on occupational stress, and provide a theoretical basis for occupational stress intervention among locomotive engineers. Methods Sampling was conducted from October to December 2022 using stratified random sampling. The Chinese version of the Brief Occupational Tension Questionnaire based on the Job Demand-Control Model (JDC model), the World Health Organization 5-item Well-Being Index (WHO-5), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale were used to investigate the occupational stress, well-being, and sleep quality of locomotive engineers. Logistic regression was used to analyze the effects of sleep quality and well-being on occupational stress, and additive and multiplicative interaction models were applied to evaluate the interactive effects of well-being and sleep quality on occupational stress. Results A total of 8243 questionnaires were collected from five locomotive companies, and after excluding unqualified questionnaires, a total of 7976 questionnaires were included in the analysis. The number of locomotive engineers in the Yangtze River Delta reporting positive occupational stress was 4633 (58.09%), the number of low-level well-being was 4949 (62.05%), and the number of poor sleep quality was 4129 (51.77%). The distribution of occupational stress varied by age, length of service, region, technical level, nature of vehicle, education, per capita monthly family income, marital status, smoking, drinking, number of exercise sessions per week, quality of sleep, work shifts, and length of commute (P<0.01). The results of logistic regression showed that a lower level of occupational stress was associated with >11000 yuan per capita monthly household income (OR=0.795, 95%CI: 0.656, 0.964), high level of well-being (OR=0.477, 95%CI: 0.430, 0.528), and good sleep quality (OR=0.588, 95%CI: 0.531, 0.651); a higher level of occupational stress was associated with night shifts: 1 or fewer night shifts (OR=1.707, 95%CI: 1.312, 2.221), 2 to 3 night shifts (OR=2.649, 95%CI: 2.111, 3.325), and 4 or more night shifts (OR=2.804, 95%CI: 2.202, 3.571); a higher level of occupational stress was associated with 60 min or more commuting time (OR=1.353, 95%CI: 1.111, 1.646). Regarding interaction between poor sleep quality and low well-being on occupational stress, the relative excess risk ratio (RERI), attributable risk index (API), and synergy index (SI) were 1.451 (1.059, 1.844), 0.417 (0.327, 0.507), and 2.407 (1.787, 3.241), respectively, and the result of the multiplicative interaction was an OR of 1.546 (95%CI: 1.262, 1.893). Conclusion The prevalence of occupational stress among locomotive engineers in the Yangtze River Delta region is generally at a medium level compared with other industries. Good sleep quality reduces the risk of occupational stress to a greater extent than high well-being, and poor sleep quality and low well-being can interact and further increase the risk of occupational stress.

Integration of the concept of “a community of common health for mankind” into medical humanities education： appearance context， content construction， and practical path / 中国医学伦理学

At present， there are some shortcomings in China’s medical humanities education， such as inadequate adaptation to the needs of the development of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics， and insufficient early warning of crises brought about by emerging medical technologies. The concept of “a community of common health for mankind” had been established in the appearance context of medical humanities education， which also gave medical humanities education a richer contemporary significance and development opportunities. Taking the courses of medical ethics and health law as examples， the concept of “a community of common health for mankind” fits well with the core of medical humanities education in terms of value significance， logical mechanisms， and content elements， which is more conducive to highlighting the localized results of medical humanities research. Therefore， the existing theoretical frameworks should be integrated with the concept of “a community of common health for mankind”， to create a medical humanities education system with Chinese characteristics and universal significance， as well as to enhance the quality and effects of humanities education by integrating the disciplinary systems， education modes， education chains， and other paths.

Connotation of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Treatment of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by Regulating Gut Microbiota Based on "Lung and Large Intestine Being Interior-exterior Related" / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD） is a heterogeneous lung condition characterized by persistent and often progressive airflow obstruction， including airway abnormalities （e.g.， bronchitis and bronchiolitis） and chronic respiratory symptoms （e.g.， dyspnea， cough， and expectoration）. It is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， the lung and large intestine are interior-exterior related. Therefore， COPD can be treated from both the lung and intestine by the methods of tonifying and invigorating lung， spleen， and kidney， dispelling phlegm， and expelling stasis. Gut microbiota plays a key role in human immunity， nerve， and metabolism and may act on COPD by affecting the structures and functions of lung and intestine tissue and regulating lung inflammation and immunity. TCM can restore the balance of gut microbiota， which is conducive to the recovery from COPD. For example， the treatment method of tonifying lung and invigorating kidney can regulate gut microbiota， alleviate pulmonary and intestinal injuries， and improve lung immunity. The treatment methods of dispelling phlegm and expelling stasis can regulate gut microbiota and reduce pulmonary inflammation. According to the TCM theory of lung and large intestine being interior-exterior related， this review elaborates on the connotation of TCM in the treatment of COPD by regulating gut microbiota， aiming to provide new ideas for the clinical treatment of COPD via gut microbiota.

Role of Macrophage Polarization in Chronic Low-grade Inflammation of PCOS Based on Theory of Spleen Being in Charge of Defensive Function / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Polycystic ovary syndrome （PCOS） is a reproductive endocrine disorder characterized by coexisting reproductive dysfunction and glucolipid metabolic disturbance， affecting 8%-13% of women of reproductive age and 3%-11% of adolescent females. Due to the highly heterogeneous clinical features， symptom-oriented individualized strategies are commonly adopted for the treatment of PCOS. Chronic low-grade inflammation is one of the core mechanisms for the occurrence of PCOS. Macrophages， as foundational cells of innate immunity， play an indispensable role in modulating systemic inflammatory responses. The imbalance of macrophage M1/M2 polarization is involved in chronic low-grade inflammation in PCOS via pathways such as activating pro-inflammatory responses， disrupting ovarian tissue repair， stimulating excessive synthesis of androgens， and promoting the occurrence of insulin resistance. Reshaping the phenotype of macrophages might serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for PCOS. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） holds that spleen deficiency and phlegm dampness is a crucial pathogenesis of PCOS. The spleen， being in charge of defensive function， plays a key role in ensuring normal physiological functions such as transportation and defense against external pathogen during the occurrence and development of PCOS. The imbalance of macrophage polarization resembles the transition from spleen being in charge of defensive function to spleen losing its defensive role in TCM. Therefore， this paper， for the first time， explores the deep connection between macrophage polarization and the pathogenesis of chronic low-grade inflammation in PCOS from the TCM theory of spleen being in charge of defensive function， providing theoretical support and new research directions for the treatment and drug research of PCOS.

The peripandemic mental well-being of selected healthcare workers in Chong Hua Hospital: Implications for institutional mental health program

@#<p style="text-align: justify;" data-mce-style="text-align: justify;">In the realm of mental health promotion and public mental health, a consistent acknowledgment has prevailed, recognizing the imperative to enhance mental well-being while concurrently preventing mental illnesses. Such recognition extends to the pivotal role that healthcare providers’ overall health plays in their capacity to deliver comprehensive and quality patient care. This study embarked on a journey to illuminate the mental well-being landscape of healthcare workers within the ambit of Chong Hua Hospital, spanning the tumultuous peripandemic period and beyond. Employing a quantitative research design, the standardized Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) was methodically administered to discern the intricate threads of mental well-being. The study’s findings stand poised to serve as the cornerstone for the crafting of an institutional mental health program, meticulously tailored to the diverse needs of healthcare workers within the hospital. Results revealed that resident doctors and the PGIs while generally reporting a high level of mental well-being in the peripandemic period, a sizeable proportion of these medical healthcare workers still succumbed to manifesting poor mental well-being. The paper also proved that married and those who contracted the infection were a notable cohort who recorded a significantly poorer mental well-being. The need to prioritize well-being immediately and after the pandemic so that services are sustained cannot be overemphasized hence the myriad of recommendations for a comprehensive and sustainable institutional mental health program was proposed in this paper.</p>

Objective:To explore the relationship among subjective well-being and depression-anxiety-stress and dispositional mindfulness in professional athletes,and the role of cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance and age in the relationship.Methods:Totally 423 professional athletes were selected and assessed with the Satisfac-tion with Life Scale(SWLS),Positive Affect Scale(PAS),Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale(DASS-21),Five Fac-et Mindfulness Questionnaire(FFMQ),Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire(CFQ),and Acceptance and Action Ques-tionnaire-Ⅱ(AAQ-Ⅱ).Results:After controlling for gender,the FFMQ scores were positively correlated with SWB scores(β=0.35),and negatively correlated with DASS-21 scores(β=-0.40).The scores of CFQ and AAQ-Ⅱplayed a sequential mediating role in the relationship between FFMQ scores and the scores of SWB and DASS-21(β=0.04,-0.12).Age moderated the relationship between the scores of FFMQ and SWB(β=-0.01).Conclu-sion:The subjective well-being and depression-anxiety-stress may be related to dispositional mindfulness in profes-sional athletes,and age could moderate the relationship between subjective well-being and dispositional mindful-ness.

Gender, psychological distress, and subjective well-being two years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain / Género, trastorno psicológico y bienestar subjetivo a dos años del inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19 en España / Gênero, distúrbio psicológico e bem-estar subjetivo dois anos após o início da pandemia da COVID-19 na Espanha

Abstract This study aimed to examine gender differences in distress and well-being two years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing risk and protective factors for psychological distress and subjective well-being. It is a repeated cross-sectional study with a sample of 1,588 women (50%) and men (50%) from the general Spanish population aged 18-74 years who were assessed online by seven questionnaires and scales. Descriptive, variance, and hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed. From February to April 2022, 57.4% of women and 38.7% of men had psychological distress, percentages that totaled 50.5% and 41.5%, respectively, from October 2022 to February 2023. Women also had greater perceived vulnerability to diseases, more negative feelings, and lower affect balance, resilience, and self-esteem than men. The most important predictors of greater psychological distress refer to lower self-esteem, resilience, and social support and higher perceived vulnerability to diseases. Other statistically significant predictors included lower educational level in women and neither being married nor living with a partner in men. Lower self-esteem also best predicted lower subjective well-being, with lower social support and lower resilience also constituting significant predictors. Moreover, lower educational level and higher perceived vulnerability to diseases statistically and significantly predicted lower subjective well-being in women, as did not being a student in men. We conclude that psychological distress remains greatly prevalent in Spain two years after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in women.

Resumen Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar las diferencias de género en distrés psicológico y en el bienestar a dos años del inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19, analizando factores de riesgo y de protección para distrés psicológico y bienestar subjetivo. Se trata de un estudio transversal repetido con una muestra de 1.588 individuos de la población general de España, 50% mujeres y 50% hombres, con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 74 años. Los participantes fueron evaluados en línea mediante 7 cuestionarios y escalas. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos, de varianza y de regresión múltiple jerárquica. Entre febrero y abril del 2022, el 57,4% de las mujeres y el 38,7% de los hombres presentaron distrés psicológico, con porcentajes del 50,5% y 41,5%, respectivamente, entre octubre del 2022 y febrero del 2023. Las mujeres también presentaron una mayor vulnerabilidad percibida a la enfermedad, más sentimientos negativos, menos equilibrio afectivo y menor resiliencia y autoestima que los hombres. Los indicadores más importantes de un mayor distrés psicológico fueron la baja autoestima, la baja resiliencia, el escaso apoyo social y una mayor vulnerabilidad percibida a la enfermedad. Otros indicadores estadísticamente significativos fueron los siguientes: bajo nivel de educación entre las mujeres y no estar casado o no vivir con una compañera entre los hombres. La baja autoestima también fue el mejor indicador de un bajo bienestar subjetivo; además, el escaso apoyo social y la baja resiliencia también fueron indicadores importantes. Además, el bajo nivel de educación y la alta vulnerabilidad percibida a la enfermedad fueron indicadores estadísticamente significativos de bajo bienestar subjetivo entre las mujeres y de no ser estudiantes entre los hombres. Concluimos que el distrés psicológico sigue siendo muy prevalente en España dos años después del inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19, especialmente entre las mujeres.

Este foi um estudo transversal repetido com amostra de 1.588 indivíduos da população geral da Espanha - 50% do sexo feminino e 50% do sexo masculino, com idade entre 18 e 74 anos. Os participantes foram avaliados online por meio de sete questionários e escalas. Foram realizadas análises descritivas, de variância e de regressão múltipla hierárquica. Entre fevereiro e abril de 2022, 57,4% das mulheres e 38,7% dos homens apresentaram estresse psicológico, com porcentagens de 50,5% e 41,5%, respetivamente, entre outubro de 2022 e fevereiro de 2023. As mulheres também apresentaram maior vulnerabilidade percebida à doença, mais sentimentos negativos, menor equilíbrio afetivo e menor resiliência e autoestima do que os homens. Os indicadores mais importantes de maior estresse psicológico foram baixa autoestima, baixa resiliência, baixo apoio social e maior vulnerabilidade percebida à doença. Outros indicadores estatisticamente significativos foram: baixo nível de escolaridade entre as mulheres e não ser casado ou não viver com uma companheira entre os homens. Baixa autoestima também foi o melhor indicador de baixo bem-estar subjetivo; além disso, baixo apoio social e baixa resiliência também foram indicadores significativos. Além disso, baixo nível de escolaridade e alta vulnerabilidade percebida à doença foram indicadores estatisticamente significativos de baixo bem-estar subjetivo entre as mulheres e de não ser estudante entre os homens. Concluímos que estresse psicológico ainda é muito prevalente na Espanha dois anos após o início da pandemia da COVID-19, principalmente entre as mulheres.

Assessment of sociodemographic and psychological well-being of primary school teachers

Abstract Background Teaching is very stressful and demanding and it intensifies psychological and related disorders compared to other occupations. Most teachers in Nigeria are battling emotional distress, burnout, depression, and anxiety due to excess workload, which has affected their psychological well-being. This study assessed the sociodemographic and psychological well-being of primary school teachers in Enugu State, Nigeria. Methods This is a study with a cross-sectional design. The psychological well-being of 254 primary school teachers was assessed using a psychological well-being scale and a sociodemographic information inventory was also used to ascertain their personal information. The data collected were analyzed using chi-square, mean, standard deviation, and bivariate correlation statistics. Results The results showed that the majority of primary school teachers experience unhealthy psychological well-being irrespective of age, gender, working status, qualification, and years of teaching experience. These teachers' sociodemographic variables are significantly correlated with psychological well-being. Only location is not significantly correlated with psychological well-being. Conclusion Therefore, this study concluded that primary school teachers' psychological well-being is not positive or healthy and is significantly related to their sociodemographic characteristics.
