Psychological resilience and mood disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Objective This systematic review aims to describe the relationship between psychological resilience and mood disorders. Methods This is a systematic review and meta-analysis. The following databases were searched on November 6, 2020: PubMed, PsycINFO, and Embase. Results Twenty-three articles were included and the majority of the studies included (95.7%) showed that psychological resilience has a positive impact in mood disorders. Our meta-analysis showed that individuals with bipolar disorder presented significantly lower levels of psychological resilience compared to controls (standardized mean difference [SDM]: -0.99 [95% confidence interval {95%CI}: -1.13 to -0.85], p < 0.001). In addition, individuals with depression had significantly lower levels of psychological resilience compared to controls (SDM: -0.71 [95%CI -0.81 to -0.61], p < 0.001). Conclusion Our results showed that individuals with mood disorders are less resilient than individuals without mood disorders. Our findings reinforce the importance of investigating interventions that may help to improve psychological resilience considering its positive impact in the context of mood disorders.

Abstract This aim of this study was to analyze levels of resilience, depression and self-efficacy among Brazilian nursing professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study between October and December 2020. Student's t test, analysis of variance and multiple linear regression were used to investigate the impact of two main factors (Resilience and Self-efficacy) on depression. A total of 8,792 nursing professionals participated in the study; 5,124 (58.8%) had low levels of resilience. The mean overall score for Depression was 0.74, ranging from 0.59 to 0.80, while the mean overall score for Self-efficacy was 0.68, ranging from 0.56 to 0.80. The variable that had the strongest impact on depression levels was Resilience, explaining 6.6% of the outcome (p < 0.001, AdjustedR2 = 0.066). In general, respondents had low levels of resilience and self-efficacy and showed high mean depression scores. Level of resilience had an impact on depression. The findings reveal an urgent need for actions to promote the psychological health of nursing professionals working in crisis situations such as pandemics.

Higher pain intensity is associated with less resilience in patients with rheumatoid arthritis / Maior intensidade de dor está associada com menor resiliência em pacientes com artrite reumatoide

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory, chronic and autoimmune disease that causes joint damage and can lead to physical disability. Patients with chronic and debilitating diseases such as arthritis need to adapt to the new reality. These changes may have less impact on patients with greater self-efficacy and resilience. Psychosocial factors influence the quality of life (QoL) of these patients, so the aim of this study was to assess resilience in this population and its relationship with pain, functional capacity and disease activity. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study carried out with patients at a medical specialties clinic, using a sociodemographic, a clinical-laboratory, a health assessment, a disease activity score questionnaires and the Wagnild and Young Resilience Scale. The data was analyzed using Fisher's Exact, Chi-square, Student's t and ANOVA tests. RESULTS: 120 patients participated in the study, 89.2% female, mean age 56.9 ± 10.7 years. Pain was classified as severe by 40.8%, 65.8% had disease in remission and 50.8% had mild disability. The resilience of 49.2% was high. There was an association between lower resilience and: presence of painful joints (p=0.004) and greater pain intensity (p=0.014). There was a lower average of resilience (130.95) in participants with severe disability. CONCLUSION: Patients with less resilient rheumatoid arthritis had greater functional disability, painful joints and greater pain intensity. In addition, from the moment additional measures are adopted, such as educational actions and behavioral strategies, with an emphasis on resilience, which help in the control and clinical outcome of the disease, there will certainly be a positive impact on the quality of life of these patients.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A artrite reumatoide é uma doença inflamatória, crônica e autoimune, que acarreta lesão articular e pode ocasionar incapacidade física. Pacientes com doenças crônicas e debilitantes como a artrite necessitam se adaptar à nova realidade. Essas mudanças podem ser menos impactantes em pacientes com maior autoeficácia e resiliência. Os fatores psicossociais exercem influência na qualidade de vida (QV) desses pacientes, portanto o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a resiliência nessa população e sua relação com dor, capacidade funcional e atividade da doença. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de uma pesquisa transversal, realizada com pacientes de uma clínica de especialidades médicas, através dos questionários sociodemográfico, clínico-laboratorial, de avaliação da saúde, de escore da atividade da doença,e avaliação da saúde, de escore da atividade da doença, e da escala de Resiliência de Wagnild e Young. A análise dos dados foi feita através dos testes Exato de Fisher, Qui-quadrado, t de Student e ANOVA. RESULTADOS: Participaram do estudo 120 pacientes, sendo 89,2% do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 56,9±10,7 anos. A dor foi classificada como intensa por 40,8%; 65,8% dos pacientes estavam com doença em remissão e 50,8% com incapacidade leve. A resiliência de 49,2% foi elevada. Foi verificada uma associação entre menor resiliência e: presença de articulações dolorosas (p=0,004) e maior intensidade de dor (p=0,014). Foi verificada menor média de resiliência (130,95) nos participantes com incapacidade grave. CONCLUSÃO: Pacientes com artrite reumatoide menos resilientes apresentaram maior incapacidade funcional, articulações dolorosas e maior intensidade de dor. Além disso, a partir do momento em que se adota medidas adicionais, tais como ações educativas e estratégias comportamentais, com ênfase na resiliência, que auxiliem no controle e no desfecho clínico da doença, certamente haverá impacto positivo na QV dos pacientes.

Mediating role of psychological resilience between family intimacy and adaptability and experiential avoidance among undergraduate nursing students / 中国职业医学

Objective: To investigate the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between family intimacy and adaptability and experiential avoidance among undergraduate nursing students (hereafter referred as nursing undergraduates). Methods: A total of 725 nursing undergraduates from six colleges in Guangdong Province were selected as the research subjects using convenience sampling method. The Acceptance Action Questionnaire-2nd Edition, Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale and Family Intimacy and Adaptability Scale were used to evaluate the experiential avoidance, psychological resilience, and family intimacy and adaptability, respectively. Results: The mean scores of experiential avoidance, psychological resilience and family intimacy and adaptability among nursing undergraduates were (23.4±7.7), (58.8±8.9) and (99.7±20.3), respectively. The results of the mediation analysis indicated that the total effect of family intimacy and adaptability on experiential avoidance was -0.16 (P<0.01), with a direct effect of -0.05 (P>0.05). Psychological resilience played a significant mediating role in the relationship between family intimacy and adaptability and experiential avoidance among nursing undergraduates (P<0.01). The standardized mediation effect was -0.11, accounting for 68.8% of the total effect. Conclusion: Resilience plays a mediating role between family intimacy and adaptability and experiential avoidance among nursing undergraduates.

ObjectiveTo investigate the willingness of middle school students to engage in medicine and its influencing factors during COVID-19 pandemic in Lanzhou， so as to provide references for the early career planning education on middle school students. MethodsConvenient sampling method was used to choose 1 795 middle school students from 5 schools in Lanzhou from July 21 to July 31， 2022 for this study where an online questionnaire survey was distributed to collect data. A self-compiled questionnaire was used to gather the general information， assess the willingness to engage in medicine and seek the underlying reasons. The psychological resilience level of students was assessed using Resilience Scale for Adolescents. Then multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the factors associated with the willingness of middle school students to engage in medicine. ResultsAfter the local outbreak of COVID-19 in Lanzhou， 835 （46.52%） middle school students demonstrated their willingness to engage in medicine， and the top three reasons for their willingness were being affected by medical staff during the pandemic （75.69%）， having interests in medical sciences （67.31%）， and the potential increase of attention to national medical development after the epidemic （43.23%）. Logistical regression analysis showed that female gender （OR=1.438， P<0.01）， family members engaged in the medical and health industry （OR=1.574， P<0.01） and having a high psychological resilience score （OR=1.011， P<0.01） were related to the clear willingness to engage in medicine， while studying in senior middle school （OR=0.473， P<0.01） and excessive exposure （≥50%） to negative information during the epidemic （OR=0.797， P<0.05） were related to declining willingness to engage in medicine. ConclusionAfter the COVID-19 outbreak in Lanzhou， a large proportion of local middle school students show their willingness to engage in medicine， especially among those of female gender， having family members engaged in the medical and health industry and having high level of psychological resilience. Whereas students studying in senior middle school and with excessive exposure to negative information during the outbreak indicate low willingness to engage in medicine.

ObjectiveTo sort out and analyze the research progress of adolescent psychological resilience， and to grasp the research hotspots and frontiers in this field. MethodsCiteSpace was used to make a visual analysis of the number of publications， authors and institution， and co-occurrence， clustering and burst terms of keywords in literatures related to adolescent psychological resilience collected in CNKI database from January 1， 2012 to December 31， 2021. Results① For almost a decade， the research on adolescent psychological resilience was divided into a slow growth stage （2012-2018） and a rapid growth stage （2018-2021）. ② The cooperation between authors were relatively close， and most of them were small and medium-sized cooperative organizations. There was less cooperation in scientific research institutions and most of them were normal universities. ③ In terms of co-occurrence analysis， hot keywords could be roughly divided into three categories： mental health status， influencing factors， and prevention and intervention research. ④ The related high-frequency keywords generate ten clusters， including academic emotions， learning burnout， adolescents， migrant children， mental health， internalized problems， social support， coping style， self-esteem and happiness. ⑤ The keywords with high burst intensity were coping style， mental health， mediation， regression analysis， social work， mental health and anxiety. ConclusionIn the future， cooperation between research institutions can be strengthened to improve the quality of the research on psychological resilience of adolescents. In addition， intervention research related to psychological resilience may become a hotspot in this field in the future.

Relation of perceived social support to mental health in prison police： a moderated mediating analysis / 四川精神卫生

BackgroundThe mental health level of the prison police is relatively low， so finding innovative ways to improve the mental health of them is of great significance for the safety of prison supervision and the implementation of peaceful China initiative. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between perceived social support， perceived stress and psychological resilience with mental health of prison police， and to provide references for improving their mental health. MethodsIn March 2022， 424 policemen working in a male prison in a western province were selected by cluster sampling method， and investigated with the Perceived Social Support Scale （PSSS）， Chinese Perceived Stress Scale （CPSS）， Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale （CD-RISC） and General Health Questionnaire 20 （GHQ-20）， then Process 4.2 was used employed to verify the mediating role of perceived stress as well as the moderating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between perceived social support and mental health. Results①Male subjects scored higher on GHQ-20 than female subjects （t=2.095， P<0.05）. ②CPSS score was negatively correlated with PSSS and GHQ-20 scores （r=-0.670， -0.703， P<0.01）， and GHQ-20 score showed a positive correlation with PSSS and CD-RISC scores （r=0.580， 0.693， P<0.01）. ③Perceived social support positively predict mental health （β=0.154， 95% CI： 0.133~0.175， P<0.01）. ④Perceived stress played a mediating role in the relationship between perceived social support and mental health， and the mediation effect size was 0.087， accounting for 88.78% of the total effect （95% CI： 0.064~0.112， P<0.01）. ⑤Psychological resilience played a moderating role in the second half （perceived stress→mental health） of the mediating path of "perceived social support→perceived stress→mental health"（β=0.074， 95% CI： 0.046~0.102， P<0.01）. ⑥Psychological resilience also regulated the mediation effect of perceived stress on the relationship between perceived social support and mental health ［three regression coefficients tested in turn are significant： a=-0.537 （95% CI： -0.594~-0.480， P<0.01）， b1=-0.162 （95% CI： -0.197~-0.127， P<0.01）， b3=0.074 （95% CI： 0.046~0.102， P<0.01）］. ConclusionPerceived social support of prison police has an impact on their mental health both directly and indirectly through perceived stress. In addition， perceived social support of prison police has a moderated mediation effect on mental health， and it is partially moderated by psychological resilience.［ Funded by General Project of Sichuan Prison Administrative Bureau in 2022］

Family Functioning as a Possible Factor that Modulates Empathy Levels in Dental Students

Aim: The objective of this paper is to explore whether there are differences in the levels of empathy and its dimensions between family typologies in dental students. Methodology: A quantitative and not experimental study, with a cross-sectional descriptive design, a population of dental students from the Evangelical University of El Salvador, and a convenience sample were applied. The levels of empathy and family functioning were evaluated using the Jefferson Scale of Empathy for Health Professions students and the Brief Scale of Family Functioning. The construct validity of both instruments was estimated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The reliability was estimated using McDonald's omega and Cronbach's alpha. Comparisons of empathy and its dimensions between family typologies were made using a two-factor analysis of variance. Results: No statistical differences were observed in empathy and its dimensions based on family typologies. It was found that women are more empathic than men. This result is not in accordance with other studies carried out in Latin America on dental and medical students evaluating empathy and family functioning with the same instruments. Conclusions: The distribution of empathy levels and their dimensions are similar among the family typologies studied. Therefore, it was not found that family functioning can influence empathy in the population studied. It is necessary to continue these studies to obtain more empirical evidence regarding the influence of family functioning on empathy.

Objetivo: El objetivo del presente trabajo es determinar la existencia de diferencias de los niveles de empatía y de sus dimensiones entre las tipologías familiares en estudiantes de odontología. Metodología: Estudio cuantitativo y no experimental, con un diseño descriptivo transversal, una población de estudiantes de odontología de la Universidad Evangélica de El Salvador y una muestra por conveniencia. Fueron evaluados los niveles de empatía y el funcionamiento familiar mediante la Escala de Empatía de Jefferson para estudiantes de profesiones de la salud y la Escala Breve de Funcionamiento Familiar. Se estimó la validez de constructo de ambos instrumentos mediante Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio y la confiabilidad mediante omega de McDonald y alfa de Cronbach. Las comparaciones de la empatía y sus dimensiones entre las tipologías familiares fueron realizadas mediante análisis de varianza bifactorial. Resultados: No se observaron diferencias estadísticas en la empatía y en sus dimensiones en función de las tipologías familiares. Se encontró que las mujeres son más empáticas que los hombres. Este resultado no está en concordancia con otros estudios realizados en América Latina en estudiantes de odontología y medicina, evaluando la empatía y el funcionamiento familiar con los mismos instrumentos. Conclusiones: La distribución de los niveles de empatía y de sus dimensiones son semejantes entre las tipologías familiares estudiadas. Por lo tanto, no se constató que el funcionamiento familiar tenga un efecto sobre la empatía en la población estudiada. Es necesario continuar estos estudios para obtener mayor evidencia empírica respecto de la influencia del funcionamiento familiar en la empatía.

Resiliência e espiritualidade de estudantes de Medicina durante isolamento social devido à pandemia da Covid-19 / Resilience and spirituality of Medicine students during social isolation due to the Covid-19 pandemic

Resumo Introdução: A pandemia da Covid-19 repercutiu de forma negativa na saúde mental dos estudantes universitários. Nesse período de incertezas e desafios, o desenvolvimento de resiliência, isto é, a capacidade de lidar com situações adversas e se recuperar, fez-se necessário. Sob a ótica do isolamento social, a espiritualidade se mostra como um recurso importante de ressignificação, podendo exercer impacto positivo na resiliência dos estudantes. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar o grau de resiliência dos estudantes de Medicina durante o isolamento social causado pela Covid-19 e sua relação com a espiritualidade e fatores pessoais. Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal misto realizado com estudantes de Medicina de instituições privadas e públicas brasileiras. Os dados foram coletados no período de junho a setembro de 2020 utilizando um questionário com perguntas sobre aspectos sociodemográficos e referentes à opinião acerca de pontos positivos e negativos do isolamento social, a Escala de Resiliência e a Escala de Atitudes Relacionadas à Espiritualidade (ARES). Para exame das respostas abertas do questionário, fez-se uma análise de conteúdo com categorização delas por temas. Resultado: Participaram do estudo 308 estudantes. Os escores médios encontrados demonstraram que os estudantes apresentaram moderada resiliência e alta espiritualidade. Observou-se correlação positiva fraca entre grau de espiritualidade e resiliência. As variáveis que impactaram positivamente tanto a resiliência quanto a espiritualidade foram alto nível de satisfação em estudar para ser médico, alto nível de felicidade com a vida nos últimos meses, maior qualidade de vida durante o isolamento, possuir religião e alta importância atribuída ao fato de ter uma religião. Estudantes do sexo feminino e na faixa etária acima de 25 anos apresentaram maior espiritualidade. Os pontos positivos mais citados estavam relacionados com relações sociais, lazer e desenvolvimento pessoal. Os pontos negativos e as dificuldades mais frequentes foram saúde mental-física-social e ensino remoto/adaptação a uma nova rotina. Conclusão: O estudo sugere que estudantes que apresentam maior espiritualidade são mais resilientes, sendo mais capazes de lidar com fatores estressores, adaptar-se e ter uma visão positiva em relação a situações adversas. Esses resultados podem contribuir para uma reflexão sobre estratégias educacionais que visem auxiliar os estudantes no enfrentamento de situações estressoras, como a vivenciada em decorrência do isolamento social.

Abstract Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the mental health of university students. In this period of uncertainty and challenges, the development of resilience, that is, the ability to deal with and recover from adverse situations, was necessary. From the perspective of social isolation, spirituality is shown to be an important resource for resignification, which can have a positive impact on students' resilience. Objective: To identify the degree of resilience of medical students during the social isolation caused by COVID-19 and its relationship with spirituality and personal factors. Methodology: A mixed cross-sectional study carried out with medical students from Brazilian private and public institutions. Data were collected from June to September 2020 using a questionnaire containing sociodemographic and opinion questions about positive and negative aspects of social isolation, the Resilience Scale and the Spirituality-Related Attitudes Scale (ARES). For the analysis of the open responses to the questionnaire, a content analysis was performed with categorization of responses by topic. Result: 308 students participated in the study. The average scores found showed that the students showed moderate resilience and high spirituality. A weak positive correlation was observed between the degree of spirituality and resilience. The variables that positively impacted both resilience and spirituality were high level of satisfaction in studying to become a doctor, high level of happiness with life in recent months, better quality of life during isolation, having a religion and high importance attributed to the fact of having a religion. Female students aged over 25 years old showed greater spirituality. The most often cited positive points were related to social relationships, leisure and personal development. The most frequent negative points and difficulties were mental-physical-social health and remote teaching/adaptation to a new routine. Conclusion: The study suggests that students with greater spirituality are more resilient, being better able to deal with stressors; to adapt and have a positive view of adverse situations. These results can contribute to a reflection on educational strategies that aim to help students in coping with stressful situations, such as those experienced as a result of social isolation.

Resiliência: avaliação de pacientes queimados em um hospital de urgência e emergência / Resilience: evaluation of burned patients in an urgency and emergency hospital / Resiliencia: evaluación de pacientes quemados en un hospital de urgencias y emergencias

A recuperação de vítimas de queimaduras é longa e dolorosa e afeta diversas esferas da vida do paciente. A resiliência, que se refere à capacidade humana de enfrentar e se adaptar a eventos adversos, exerce grande importância no processo de recuperação da queimadura. Logo, este trabalho objetiva avaliar a capacidade de resiliência de pacientes queimados, no momento da admissão e da alta hospitalar, em um hospital de emergência e urgência de Goiânia. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, quantitativo e transversal que utiliza a Escala de Resiliência de Connor-Davidson (CD-RISC) como instrumento de mensuração. Na admissão hospitalar, a média da resiliência foi de 71,35, tendo sido observada uma relação significativa entre o fator Amparo da escala CD-RISC e a presença do(a) companheiro(a). O escore de resiliência encontrado nesta pesquisa é consistente com outros achados da literatura científica internacional e nacional referente à expressão da resiliência em vítimas de queimaduras e outros adoecimentos. A relação entre o fator Amparo e a presença de um(a) companheiro(a) enfatiza a importância da rede de apoio familiar na reabilitação do paciente queimado.(AU)

The recovery of burned patients is long and painful and impacts on different areas of people's lives. Resilience, which refers to the human capacity to face and adapt to adverse events, plays a major role in the process of recovery from burns. Therefore, the present study aims to assess the resilience of burned patients, on admission and hospital discharge, in an emergency and urgency hospital in Goiânia. This is a descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional study that uses the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD RISC) as a measuring instrument. At hospital admission, the mean resilience was 71.35, with a significant association between the Support factor on the CD RISC scale and the presence of a partner. The resilience score found in the present study is consistent with other findings in the international and national scientific literature regarding the expression of resilience in victims of burns and other illnesses. The relationship between the Support factor and the presence of a partner emphasizes the importance of the family support network in the rehabilitation of the burned patient.(AU)

La recuperación de los pacientes quemados es larga y dolorosa e impacta en diferentes esferas de la vida de las personas. La resiliencia, que se refiere a la capacidad humana para enfrentar y adaptarse a eventos adversos, juega un papel importante en el proceso de recuperación de las quemaduras. Por tanto, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la resiliencia de los pacientes quemados, en el momento del ingreso y el alta, en un hospital de emergencia y urgencia en Goiânia. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, cuantitativo y transversal que utiliza la Escala de Resiliencia Connor-Davidson (CD RISC) como instrumento de medida. Al ingreso hospitalario, la resiliencia media fue de 71,35, con associación significativa entre el factor Amparo de la escala CD RISC y la presencia de pareja. El puntaje de resiliencia encontrado en el presente estudio es consistente con otros hallazgos en la literatura científica nacional e internacional sobre la expresión de resiliencia en víctimas de quemaduras y otras enfermedades. La relación entre el factor Amparo y la presencia de pareja enfatiza la importancia de la red de apoyo familiar en la rehabilitación del paciente quemado.(AU)

Cárie na primeira infância, má oclusão, fatores psicossociais e qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal de crianças e suas famílias / Early childhood caries, malocclusion, psychosocial factors and oral health-related quality of life in children and their families

Cárie na primeira infância (CPI) e má oclusão podem afetar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal (QVRSB) de crianças e suas famílias. Fatores psicossociais relacionados às crianças, suas famílias e comunidade na qual estão inseridas devem ser estudados. Diante disso, os objetivos desta tese foram: 1) verificar a associação entre fatores psicossociais associados à CPI e à QVRSB em pré-escolares e suas famílias (Artigo 1); 2) avaliar o impacto da mordida aberta anterior (MAA) e da mordida profunda (MP) na QVRSB de préescolares, e verificar o papel da resiliência parental como um fator moderador nessa associação (Artigo 2). Foi realizado um estudo transversal representativo com pré-escolares de 4-6 anos de idade e seus pais/responsáveis em Ribeirão das Neves, MG, Brasil. Os pais/responsáveis responderam às versões brasileiras do Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) e Escala de Resiliência, e um questionário com dados socioeconômicos e de comportamento de saúde bucal da criança. Os pré-escolares foram examinados por duas dentistas treinadas e calibradas para o diagnóstico de CPI e consequências pulpares de lesões cariosas não tratadas (Kappa>0,95), utilizando-se a versão epidemiológica do International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDASepi) combinado com o índice pufa e, assim categorizados: sem cárie, estágio inicial (opacidade notável/pigmentação retida em fundo de fóssulas e fissuras), estágio moderado (cavitação em esmalte/sombreamento em dentina subjacente), estágio extenso sem consequências pulpares (cavitação com exposição dentinária) e estágio extenso com consequências pulpares (cavitação com exposição dentinária, com envolvimento pulpar e/ou presença de fístulas/abscessos). A presença de MAA e MP foi avaliada através do índice de Foster e Hamilton. Os dados foram analisados por meio da modelagem por equações estruturais, utilizando-se o software Mplus, versão 8.6 (Artigo 1) e por meio da análise de moderação, utilizando-se o PROCESS (PROCESS for SPSS, version 3.4) (Artigo 2). Os resultados do artigo 1 demonstraram que menor status socioeconômico (ß =-0,250; p<0,001) e maior frequência de consumo de açúcares livres (ß=0,122; p=0,033) foram associados diretamente com estágio extenso de cárie com consequência pulpar, enquanto menor resiliência dos pais impactou indiretamente estágios mais avançados da CPI, por meio da variável frequência de consumo de açúcares livres (ß =-0,089; p=0,048). Além disso, CPI foi associada com piores escores tanto da QVRSB da criança (b=0,587; p<0,001) quanto da família (ß =0,506; p<0,001). Os resultados do artigo 2 demonstraram que préescolares filhos de pais com baixa resiliência, e que possuíam MAA apresentaram impacto negativo na QVRSB (ß:3,95;p=0,025) em comparação àqueles que apresentaram oclusão normal. A resiliência parental não atuou como fator moderador na associação entre MP e QVRSB (p>0,05). Conclui-se que quanto maior a gravidade da CPI, maior o impacto negativo na QVRSB de pré-escolares e suas famílias. Os principais fatores associados à CPI mais grave foram menor nível socioeconômico, maior frequência de consumo de açúcar livre e menor resiliência parental (Artigo 1). MAA interferiu negativamente na QVRSB dos pré-escolares, sendo essa associação mais forte quando a resiliência parental era baixa. Portanto, a resiliência dos pais atuou como fator moderador na relação entre MAA e QVRSB (Artigo 2).

Early childhood caries (ECC) and malocclusion can affect the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of children and families. Psychosocial factors related to children, their families and the community in which they are inserted must be studied. Therefore, the objectives of this thesis were: 1) to verify the association between psychosocial factors with ECC and OHRQoL in preschoolers and their families (Manuscript #1); 2) to evaluate the impact of anterior open bite (AOB) and deep bite (DB) on the OHRQoL of preschool children and the role of parental resilience as a moderating factor in such association (Manuscript #2). A representative crosssectional study was carried out with 4-to-6-year-old preschoolers and their parents/caregivers from Ribeirão das Neves, MG, Brazil. Parents/caregivers selfadministered the Brazilian versions of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) and the Resilience Scale, as well as a questionnaire about socioeconomic and child's oral health behavior data. Preschoolers were examined by two trained and calibrated dentists for the diagnosis of ECC and pulpal consequences of untreated carious lesions (Kappa>0.95), using the epidemiological version of the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDASepi) index combined with the pufa index: no caries, early stage (notable opacity/retained pigmentation in the background of pits and fissures), moderate stage (cavitation in enamel/shading in underlying dentin), extensive stage without pulpal consequences (cavitation with dentin exposure) and extensive stage with pulpal consequences (cavitation with dentin exposure, and pulp involvement and/or fistulas/abscesses). The presence of AOB and DB were evaluated using the Foster and Hamilton index. Data were analysed through Structural Equation Model (SEM), using the Mplus software, version 8.6 (Manuscript #1) and through moderation analysis, using PROCESS (PROCESS for SPSS, version 3.4) (Manuscript #2). The results of the Manuscript #1 demonstrated that lower socioeconomic status (b=-0.250; p<0.001) and higher frequency of consumption of free sugars (ß=0.122; p=0.033) were directly associated with an extensive stage of caries with pulpal consequences, while lower parental resilience indirectly impacted more advanced stages of ECC, through the variable frequency of consumption of free sugars (b=-0.089; p=0.048). In addition, ECC was associated with worse scores in both the child's (ß=0.587; p<0.001) and the family's (ß=0.506; p<0.001) OHRQoL. The results of the Manuscript #2 demonstrated that preschoolers whose parents presented low resilience, and preschoolers who presented OAB, had a negative impact on OHRQoL (ß:3.95; p=0.025) compared to those who had normal occlusion. Parental resilience did not act as a moderating factor in the association between DB and OHRQoL (p>0.005). It is concluded that the severity of ECC negatively impacted the OHRQoL of preschoolers and their families, and the main factors associated with the severity of ECC were lower socioeconomic status, higher frequency of free sugar consumption and lower parental resilience (Manuscript #1). OAB negatively interfered with the OHRQoL of preschoolers, with this association being stronger when parental resilience was low. Therefore, parental resilience acted as a moderating factor in the relationship between OAB and OHRQoL (Manuscript # 2).

Relationship between resilience, self-esteem, and burnout in Medical students during the Covid-19 pandemic / Relação entre resiliência, autoestima e burnout em estudantes de Medicina durante a pandemia de Covid-19

Abstract: Introduction: In Brazil, the lack of studies evaluating self-esteem in medical students is evident. In the academic field, it is known that individuals with high self-esteem and resilience are more likely to be successful. In previous studies, resilience was negatively associated with anxiety and Burnout Syndrome (BS). The BS has become a public health problem due to its increased incidence, especially among medical professionals during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, making it essential to expand and develop this issue. Objectives: To evaluate the level of self-esteem in medical students and its association with the degree of resilience and burnout during the pandemic. Method: A cross-sectional cohort study was conducted with medical students from the first to the eighth semesters at Centro Universitário Christus in Fortaleza - CE, Brazil. The students answered three surveys: in the beginning of the semester, at the midterms and during finals. We applied the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Wagnild and Young's resilience scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results: Students with higher levels of emotional exhaustion showed less professional efficiency (P < 0.001). Disbelief and professional efficiency are inversely related (P < 0.001). There was no significant variation in the prevalence of burnout throughout the semester (P = 0.593). However, this prevalence has been high since the first period of the study. Additionally, the higher the resilience, the higher the self-esteem (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Medical students show elevated levels of BS. There was no statistically significant variation in burnout, resilience, and self-esteem throughout the semester. Therefore, further studies are necessary to analyze these variables.

Resumo: Introdução: No Brasil, é perceptível a escassez de estudos avaliando a autoestima dos alunos de Medicina durante a pandemia da Covid-19. No campo acadêmico, sabe-se que indivíduos com alta autoestima e resiliência são mais propensos ao sucesso. De acordo com a literatura atual, a resiliência foi negativamente associada à ansiedade e à síndrome de burnout (SB). A SB tornou-se um problema de saúde pública por causa do aumento de sua incidência, principalmente entre os profissionais de saúde durante a pandemia da doença por coronavírus 2019 (Covid-19), tornando imprescindível o aprofundamento desse tema. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o nível de autoestima de estudantes de Medicina e sua associação com o grau de resiliência e de burnout durante a pandemia. Método: Trata-se de um estudo de coorte transversal com estudantes de Medicina do primeiro ao oitavo semestre realizado no Centro Universitário Christus, em Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. Foram realizados três pontos de corte: no início do semestre, no meio do semestre e no final. Aplicamos as escalas de Maslach, Wagnild e Young e Rosenberg, e um questionário sociodemográfico. Resultado: Estudantes com maior desgaste emocional apresentaram menor eficácia profissional (p < 0,001). A descrença e a eficácia profissional estão inversamente relacionadas (p < 0,001). Não houve variação significativa na prevalência de burnout ao longo do semestre (p = 0,593), mas essa prevalência foi alta desde o primeiro período do estudo. Além disso, quanto maior a resiliência, maior a autoestima (p < 0,001). Conclusão: Estudantes de Medicina apresentam altos níveis de burnout. Variações de burnout, resiliência e autoestima não se mostraram estatisticamente relevantes ao longo do semestre. Mais estudos são necessários para analisar essas variáveis.

Effects of cognitive intervention in an attribution study on psychological resilience and cancer-related fatigue in older adult patients with lung cancer / 中国基层医药

Objective:To investigate the effects of cognitive intervention in an attribution study on psychological resilience and cancer-related fatigue in older adult patients with lung cancer.Methods:A total of 88 older adult patients with lung cancer who received treatment in Ningbo Ninth Hospital between January 2018 and January 2020 were included in this study. These patients were randomly divided into a study group ( n = 44) and a control group ( n = 44). The control group was given routine nursing intervention, and the study group was given cognitive intervention under an attribution study. All patients were treated for 6 consecutive months. After the intervention, the changes in psychological resilience and improvements in cancer-related fatigue symptoms compared with before intervention were observed. The Coping Style Questionnaire (CSQ) was applied to evaluate the change in coping styles after intervention relative to before intervention. Before and after intervention, patient compliance was compared between the two groups. Results:After 6 months of intervention, the scores of various dimensions of the Chinese version of Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) in the study group were (7.74 ± 1.36) points, (23.67 ± 1.94) points, and (41.28 ± 1.47) points, respectively, which were significantly higher than (6.92 ± 1.12) points, (12.45 ± 2.76) points, and (32.34 ± 1.69) points respectively in the control group ( t = 3.08, 22.06, 26.47, all P < 0.05). The scores of various dimensions of Piper Fatigue Scale-Revised (PFS) in the study group were (4.85 ± 1.15) points, (4.71 ± 1.05) points, (4.85 ± 1.05) points, (5.24 ± 1.05) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than (6.33 ± 1.25) points, (6.21 ± 1.52) points, (6.39 ± 1.17) points, (6.72 ± 1.23) points respectively in the control group ( t = 5.78, 5.38, 6.49, 6.07, all P < 0.05). The score of positive coping style in the study group was (28.51 ± 2.65) points, which was significantly higher than (24.84 ± 2.52) points in the control group ( t = 6.65, P < 0.05). The score of negative coping style was (12.39 ± 2.53) points, which was significantly lower than (14.81 ± 2.12) points in the control group ( t = 4.86, P < 0.05). The patient compliance with medication, review, diet, and physical exercise in the study group were 100.00%, 90.91%, 90.91%, and 81.82%, respectively, which were significantly higher than 81.81%, 68.18%, 75.00%, and 61.36%, respectively in the control group ( χ2 = 6.73, 6.98, 3.93, 4.52, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Cognitive intervention in an attribution study can enhance psychological resilience, improve the symptoms of cancer-related fatigue, promote a positive change of coping style, and enhance treatment compliance in older adult patients with lung cancer.

Community support as predictors of resilience among single women

Background: Single women face many problems in the patriarchal society but receive support from the community. In general, studies on community support showed that belonging to a community and actively participating in communal activities enhanced the quality of life and wellbeing of the individual involved. The present study examines whether the dimensions of community support predict psychological distress, happiness, life satisfaction, and psychological resilience among single women. Method: A sample of 300 single women (divorced, widows, and separated women) in the age group of 25 to 60 years (M = 39.82 years, SD = 7.83) were administered self-report measures of perceived community support, psychological distress, subjective happiness, life satisfaction, and psychological resilience. The dimensions of community support included in the study are community integration, community participation and community organization. Results: Multiple regressions were carried out to analyze the data. Community integration negatively predicted psychological resilience. Community participation positively predicted life satisfaction. Conclusion: These findings highlight the role of community support as resources that promote the positive adaptation of single women to the challenges of everyday life. The implications of the findings for policy, practice, and research are also discussed

Introduction: Resilience is a concept that has been studied since the 1950s. Different disciplines' views offer definitions that have been presented in concept analyses and integrative reviews. Objective: To analyze the level of maturity of the concept in light of the epistemological, linguistic, logical, and pragmatic principles of Morse and Hupcey's method, as well as its use in different disciplines, specifically in nursing.Methods:Thirty-six scientific papers in Spanish, English, and Portuguese were selected from Medline, PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases, according to the keywords. The level of maturity of the concept was identified from different disciplines.Results: Epistemologically, it was established that resilience is a capacity acquired with training and may be influenced by social and cultural factors. Linguistically, resilience definition as a capacity and ability was found to be consistent throughout the literature. Regarding the logical principle, resilience ­together with theories such as self-efficacy and personal well-being­, provides theoretical frameworks as a context for the development of educational interventions. Finally, the pragmatic principle showed the maturity of the concept based on the existence of empirical indicators, such as instruments to measure the concept and its dimensions.

Las conclusiones principales destacaron la necesidad de valorar en los deportistas de alto rendimiento estudiados, las manifestaciones de la resiliencia psicológica de manera particular: los factores protectores de la personalidad, la influencia de las redes de apoyo social así como las estrategias y estilos de afrontamiento al estrés que afloran ante situaciones adversas que se presentan en la vida deportiva, dificultades propias del entrenamiento y la competencia a las que se enfrentan con regularidad, que pueden constituir modelos a tener en cuenta para otros deportistas que se inician.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a manifestação da resiliência psicológica em atletas cubanos de alto rendimento, especificamente na ex-corredora Ana Fidelia Quiroz Moret, de 800m, e em atletas da seleção nacional cubana de tênis de mesa, nas categorias jovem e sênior. Foram utilizados métodos de pesquisa com predominância de metodologia analítica qualitativa, como estudos de casos individuais e de grupo, análise-síntese, entrevista, análise de documentos e vídeos, observação, o questionário de Cópia de Estresse de Sandin e Chorot e a escala de Resiliência de Wagnild e Young. A porcentagem foi utilizada como um método matemático. Os principais resultados mostraram a presença de um alto nível de resiliência na ex-esportista estudada e níveis médios-altos e altos nos tenistas estudados. Os fatores de proteção que influenciam o enfrentamento de eventos da vida e situações estressantes foram identificados. As principais conclusões destacaram a necessidade de avaliar nos atletas de alto rendimento estudados, as manifestações de resiliência psicológica em particular: os fatores protetores da personalidade, a influência das redes de apoio social, assim como as estratégias e estilos de lidar com o estresse que surgem em situações adversas que surgem na vida esportiva, as dificuldades de treinamento e competição que enfrentam regularmente, que podem constituir modelos a serem levados em conta para outros atletas que estão começando.

The present research was based on the theories that explore resilience in the field of Sport Psychology. The objective was to analyze the manifestation of psychological resilience in Cuban high-performance athletes, specifically in the former 800-meter runner Ana Fidelia Quiroz Moret and in athletes of the Cuban national Table Tennis team in the Juvenile and Senior categories. Research methods were used with a predominance of analytical qualitative methodology such as individual and group case studies, analysis-synthesis, interview, analysis of documents and videos, observation, the Stress Coping questionnaire of Sandin and Chorot and the Resilience scale of Wagnild and Young. The percentage was used as a mathematical method. The main results showed the presence of a high level of resilience in the ex-sportswoman studied and medium-high and high levels in the tennis players studied. The main conclusions highlighted the need to assess in the high performance athletes studied, the manifestations of psychological resilience in particular: the protective factors of the personality, the influence of social support networks as well as the strategies and styles of coping with stress that emerge in adverse situations that arise in sports life, difficulties of training and competition that they face regularly, which may constitute models to be taken into account for other athletes who are starting out.
