The Relationship

There is a growing body of literature exploring the general population’s use of social media for assistance in dealing with stigmatized health issues. This study presents novel research examining the relationship between social media use and young adults. It utilizes a therapeutic affordance (TA) framework. Quantitative results from this study are complemented by qualitative data. The relationships between distinct social media and their TA (a–b) are presented to highlight their potential to impact positively on social and emotional well-being outcomes. Evidence includes broad support for “connection,” “narration,” and “collaboration” TAs in this context and the relationship between the use of distinct social media and perceived quality of life (QOL) outcomes (a–c). TA provides an appropriate and valuable theoretical framework which is useful for the development of an evidence-base from the analysis of young adult’s social media usage. An analysis of the association between social media and their QOL outcomes is presented according to the TA relationship pathway (a–c–b). The adoption of a TA framework enables a nuanced analysis of significant associations between specific social media, TA, and improved QOL outcomes. This study demonstrates the significant association between social media and perceived QOL outcomes in young adults.

Depression is common in most forms of dementia. The relationship appears to be bi-directional, with depression being both a prodromal (or early) symptom and a risk factor for developing dementia. Depression and anxiety can also contribute to accelerated cognitive decline and reduced quality of life in people with dementia. This chapter will outline the relationship between depression and dementia and consider the use of personalized musical playlists to address depression in people with dementia. Although listening to music is a powerful means for improving mood among certain groups, people with depression and people with dementia appear to be vulnerable to music triggering negative thoughts or negative memories. Both the benefits and the risks to be considered in playlist selection will be discussed.

Abstract Background Patients with lung cancer (LC) have a poor quality of life (QoL) and easily suffer from psychological diseases. Previous studies focused less on the relationship between genetic factors and QoL, depression, and anxiety status in LC patients. The current study is intended to explore the relationship between SNPs and haplotypes of ERCC1 and ERCC2 and the QoL, depression and anxiety status of patients with LC. Methods QoL, depression and anxiety status were assessed in 291 LC patients using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30), EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Lung Cancer 13 (QLQ-LC13), SDS and SAS. Nine tag SNPs of ERCC1 and ERCC2 were detected using an improved multiplex ligation detection reaction (iMLDR) technique. Haplotype analysis was conducted using the software Haploview 4.2. The association between SNPs or haplotypes and QoL or depression or anxiety in LC patients was analyzed by regression analysis. Results ERCC1 rs11615 was associated with emotional functioning (P = 0.027), and ERCC1 rs3212986 was associated with anxiety scores (P = 0.018). ERCC1 rs762562-rs3212986 haplotype was associated with cognitive function (P = 0.029), somatic function (P = 0.014) and dysphagia (OR = 3.32, P = 0.044). Patients with ERCC1 rs3212986-rs11615 AG haplotype had worse cognitive function (adjusted Beta = − 5.42) and somatic function (adjusted Beta = − 6.55) and had severer symptoms of loss of appetite (adjusted OR = 1.67) and dysphagia (adjusted OR = 4.43) (All adjusted P < 0.05). ERCC2 rs13181-rs3916874-rs238416 haplotype was associated with emotional functioning (P = 0.035), pain at other sites (OR 1.88, P = 0.014), chest pain (OR 0.42, P = 0.02), dysphagia (OR 2.82, P = 0.048), and anxiety status (OR 0.23, P = 0.009). Conclusion After adjustment for environmental factors, SNPs and haplotypes of ERCC1 and ERCC2 were associated with different domains of QoL, depression and anxiety in LC patients.

Summary Objectives: Heart rate variability (HRV) has been used to assess sympathetic and parasympathetic modulation of heart rate. Chronic stress relates to reduced HRV. Malocclusion has effects on quality of life, which can lead to chronic stress. Therefore, we hypothesized that malocclusion, as chronic stress, may contribute to reduced HRV. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between malocclusion and HRV indices in healthy young adults. Methods: Thirty-seven non-smoking healthy subjects, aged 22 to 25 years, were examined. Malocclusion was defined by Angle classification. HRV indices included root mean square of successive differences, low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF) and ratio of LF to HF. The effects of malocclusion on quality of life and mental health were assessed using self-reported questionnaires, the condition-specific Oral Impacts on Daily Performances index (CS-OIDP) and the Hopkins Symptoms Checklist (HSCL), respectively. Results: Significantly lower score of HF and higher heart rate (HR) level and CS-OIDP score were observed in subjects with malocclusion (n = 17) compared to those in the control subjects (n = 20) (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between HR and score of “anxiety” in HSCL (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The data showed an association between malocclusion and lower HRV. Based on our results, orthodontic treatment might contribute not only to improvement of oral esthetic and functional problems but also to improvement of stress and HRV indices.

The Relationship

Background: Schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) are frequently accompanied by comorbid depressive and anxiety symptoms, as well as impaired quality of life (QoL). A growing body of evidence has demonstrated the relevance of mindfulness for SSD in recent years. The study examined the association between mindfulness, depression, anxiety, and QoL.Materials and Methods: A total of 83 participants with SSD were recruited at the in- and outpatient psychiatric hospital care. Participants completed the Southampton Mindfulness Questionnaire, Comprehensive Inventory for Mindful Experiences, and Freiburger Mindfulness Inventory, the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale to assess depression and anxiety, and the WHO-QoL Questionnaire. Multiple regression analyses examined the relationship between mindfulness and QoL and the mediating role of depression and anxiety.Results: Mindfulness had a significant statistical positive effect on QoL domains physical health, psychological, and environmental QoL in patients with SSD. Depression was identified as a significant mediator of this relationship.Conclusion: This study provides novel insight into mindfulness’ mechanisms and paves the way for a process-oriented approach to treat SSD. The results provide first evidence for the process-based value of mindfulness for SSD; future studies can focus on the role of mindfulness for central therapeutic processes of change by employing longitudinal designs.

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate associations among spirituality, coping strategies, quality of life (QOL), and the effects of depression and anxiety thereon in cancer patients.MethodIn total, 237 cancer patients referred to a psycho-oncology clinic at a university hospital in Korea were enrolled. After identifying predictors of patient QOL in a stepwise regression model, we developed a hypothetical path model wherein interpersonal coping was considered as a mediating variable between spirituality (meaning/peace) and QOL and wherein depression and anxiety affected each of these three variables.ResultThe direct effect of spirituality (meaning/peace) on QOL was 36.7%. In an indirect model, interpersonal coping significantly mediated the relationship between spirituality (meaning/peace) and QOL. Depression exerted the largest negative effect on spirituality (meaning/peace), interpersonal coping, and QOL. Anxiety had negative effects on spirituality (meaning/peace) and QOL, but a positive effect on interpersonal coping.Significance of resultsInterpersonal coping strategies work as a partial mediator of the relationship between meaning/peace subscales of spirituality and QOL. Effective management of depression may help in achieving better outcomes associated therewith. Greater attention and efforts to improve social connectedness and meaning of life in spiritual well-being may improve the QOL of cancer patients.
