Abstract Elder mistreatment (EM) and the magnitude of its relationship to anxiety may vary depending on definitional criteria. We leveraged data from the PINE Study, a study of 3,157 Chinese older adults in Chicago. EM was measured by 56 items on psychological, physical and sexual mistreatment, caregiver neglect and financial exploitation subtypes. Least restrictive, moderately restrictive, and most restrictive definitions of EM were constructed. Symptoms of anxiety were measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Least restrictive (OR, 1.94; 95%CI, 1.57-2.40), moderately restrictive (OR, 1.56; 95%CI, 1.22-1.99), and most restrictive (OR, 1.39; 95%CI, 1.07-1.79) definitions of EM were all significantly associated with the likelihood of experiencing any anxiety symptoms. The magnitude of associations between EM and anxiety symptoms vary based on strictness of the EM definition. Future research should explore the potential causal relationships between EM and anxiety through longitudinal data.

Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive disabling illness characterized by persistent airflow limitation affecting physical, psychological and social aspect of the individual. Amongst the associated co morbidities, depression and anxiety has been identified as common modifiable psychiatric comorbidities of COPD which impacts the patient’s quality of life.  Objectives: To establish the prevalence of depression and anxiety among the COPD patient and determine the association between them. Methodology: The cross sectional study was conducted at Dhulikhel Hospital. We used a convenient sampling method to recruit seventy three COPD participants admitted in the Medicine ward. We interviewed the participants to evaluate anxiety and depression using the Nepali version of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaire. We considered positive result of anxiety and depression when the Hospital Anxiety and Depression score was above eight.  Results: Depressive and Anxiety symptoms were observed in 30 % and 33% of the participants respectively. Similarly 20% of the participants had both the symptoms of depression and anxiety. The association between depression and anxiety was found to be highly significant (p<0.001). In the multivariate model the odds of depression and anxiety was nine percent increase with every one year increase in age after adjusting for gender and duration of illness. (adjusted OR: 1.07; CI 1.00- 1.17; p-value: 0.03). In an unadjusted model depression was significantly associated to every year increase in age (unadjusted OR: 1.07; CI: 1.00- 1.13; p-value: 0.03) Conclusion: Depression and anxiety is prevalent among COPD patient at Dhulikhel hospital with one fifth of the patient demonstrating both depression and anxiety symptoms.

Objective: The study aimed to 1) measure the prevalence of depression and anxiety among Iraqi pharmacy and medical students at a number of universities in Baghdad using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and 2) investigate the association between various sociodemographic factors and students’ HADS scores. Methods: This study was based on a cross-sectional descriptive design in four universities in Baghdad, Iraq. Depression and anxiety were screened using an Arabic version of the HADS. An online survey was administered via Qualtrics to convenience samples of students at four colleges of pharmacy and a college of medicine between March and June 2018. Multiple linear regression was used to identify factors associated with depression and anxiety symptoms among the participants. Results: The researchers received 750 usable surveys. The participating students spent more time browsing social media (6.64 hours/day) than studying (1.92 hours/day) and exercising (2.83 hours/week). Approximately forty-six percent (45.9%) of the participants had scores that indicated depression symptoms and one-quarter (24.8%) had scores that indicated depression borderline symptoms. More than one-half (52.1%) of the participants had scores that indicated anxiety symptoms, while 20.1% had scores that indicated anxiety borderline symptoms. According to the multiple linear regression analysis, more depression and anxiety symptoms were significantly (p-value <0.05) associated with higher study hours weekly and lower sleep hours at night, academic achievement, and colleagues and family social support during exams. Conclusions: Pharmacy and medical students may be vulnerable to depression and anxiety because of long study hours.. To reduce their levels of anxiety and depression, they may need more social support, more exercise, more sleep, less social media use and a lower academic workload.

Kognitive Funktionen

Die in mehreren Studien gefundenen kognitiven Störungen bei Tumorpatienten nach Chemotherapie werden zumeist mit der Zytostatikaneurotoxizität assoziiert. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird der Zusammenhang von Angst, Depression und Posttraumatischer Belastungsstörung mit der kognitiven Leistungsfähigkeit bei Frauen mit Mammakarzinom untersucht. Insgesamt wurden 76 Brustkrebspatientinnen fünf Jahre nach Abschluss der onkologischen Behandlung mit neuropsychologischen Testverfahren sowie mit der Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale – Deutsche Version (HADS-D) und der Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist – Civilian Version (PCL-C) untersucht: 23 nach Standard- und 24 nach Hochdosistherapie sowie 29 nach Brustoperation und Strahlentherapie als Vergleichsgruppe. Signifikante Zusammenhänge sind vor allem zwischen kognitiven Funktionen und Intrusionssymptomen einer Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung (PTBS) festzustellen. Bei Patientinnen nach Standardtherapie weisen Intrusionen der PTBS einen moderaten Zusammenhang mit der globalen kognitiven Beeinträchtigung auf. Die Ergebnisse der Studie deuten auf multidimensionale Einfluss- und moderierende Faktoren bei der Entwicklung kognitiver Defizite bei Brustkrebspatientinnen nach onkologischer Therapie hin.

Zusammenfassung. Der Whiteley-Index ist ein Instrument zur Erfassung von Hypochondrie. Für diesen Fragebogen wurde eine Normierungs- und Validierungsstudie anhand einer bevölkerungsrepräsentativen Stichprobe (n = 1996) durchgeführt. Hypochondrie zeigt eine etwa lineare Altersabhängigkeit (r = .24). Frauen haben in allen Altersstufen höhere Hypochondrie-Ausprägungen als Männer. Für verschiedene Alters- und Geschlechtsgruppen werden Normwerte bereit gestellt. Die in der Literatur beschriebene dreidimensionale Struktur des Whiteley-Index (Krankheitsängste, somatische Beschwerden und Krankheitsüberzeugung) konnte mit gewissen Einschränkungen bestätigt werden. Validierungsuntersuchungen mit anderen Instrumenten (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory, Gießener Beschwerdebogen, Screening für Somatoforme Störungen und Nottingham Health Profile) zeigten, dass eine auf sieben Items reduzierte Kurzskala der Gesamtskala mit 14 Items ebenbürtig ist. Für differenzierte Analysen wird jedoch die Originalskala empfohlen. Durch die angegebenen Normwerte ist es künftig besser möglich, Patientengruppen verschiedener Alters- und Geschlechtsverteilungen untereinander oder auch mit Stichproben der Normalbevölkerung zu vergleichen.

Background: Studies have shown that caregivers of the persons with the neurological illness have high levels of psychological distress, depression and caregiver’s burden. The aim of the study was to find out anxiety, depression and caregiver’s burden among the caregivers of persons with neurological illness (PWNI). Method: Thirty caregivers of PWNI attending the Centre of Rehabilitation Sciences, LGB Regional Institute of Mental Health, Tezpur, Assam were selected using purposive sampling technique for the present study. Socio-demographic and clinical data sheet, Zarit Burden Interview Scale and The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used. Results: The results shown that in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, 26.6% of the caregivers' scores were in the abnormal range in the domain of depression. While in the domain of anxiety, 16.6% scored in the abnormal range. In Zarit Burden of Scale, 13.3% of the caregivers were having little or no burden, 26.6% of the caregivers were having mild to moderate level of burden, 20% were having moderate to severe burden and 30% were having a severe burden of care. Care burden has significant positive correlation with depression (r= .124, p≤ 0.01 and anxiety (r= .124, p≤ 0.05). Conclusion: Caregivers of PWNI have been found to be at higher risk of mental health problems and care burden. The importance of addressing the burden of caregivers involved in the care of PWNI need to be taken into consideration while providing treatment and rehabilitation of PWNI.     Keywords: Anxiety, depression, burden, neurological illness

Abstract Background The aim of this investigation was to examine the longitudinal association between change in insomnia status and the development of anxiety and depression in the general population. Methods A survey was mailed to 5000 randomly selected individuals (aged 18–70 years) in two Swedish counties. After 6 months, a follow-up survey was sent to those (n = 2333) who answered the first questionnaire. The follow-up survey was completed by 1887 individuals (80.9%). The survey consisted of questions indexing insomnia symptomatology, socio-demographic parameters, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Change in insomnia status was assessed by determining insomnia at the two time-points and then calculating a change index reflecting incidence (from non-insomnia to insomnia), remission (from insomnia to non-insomnia), or status quo (no change). Multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were used to examine the aim. Results Incident insomnia was significantly associated with an increased risk for the development of new cases of both anxiety (OR = 0.32, p < .05) and depression (OR = 0.43, p < .05) 6 months later. Incident insomnia emerged also as significantly associated with an elevated risk for the persistence of depression (OR = 0.30, p < .05), but not for anxiety. Conclusions This study extends previous research in that incidence in insomnia was shown to independently increase the risk for the development of anxiety and depression as well as for the maintenance of depression. The findings imply that insomnia may be viewed as a dynamic risk factor for anxiety and depression, which might have implications for preventative work.
