The Impact

Parental incarceration (PI) is negatively associated with emotional, educational, and psychological child outcomes. However, few studies explore potential mechanisms through which these outcomes are transmitted or the means by which prosocial outcomes might develop. This study used data from two waves of a population cohort study of children aged 9 years and followed up aged 13 years living in Ireland. Children and parents ( N = 8,568) completed measures of PI, primary caregiver (PCG) depression, PCG-child relationship quality, and child behavioral adjustment. We then conducted a secondary analysis on this national longitudinal study of children in Ireland. Using sequential mediation models, we observed a mediated indirect effect of PI on prosocial outcomes via PCG depression and PCG-child relationship quality. PI at age 9 was associated with increased difficulties and reduced prosocial behavior at age 13. Additionally, PI at age 9 affected PCG depression and the PCG-child relationship quality. Additionally, child prosocial outcomes, and emotional and behavioral difficulties were less apparent where PI had a weaker effect on PCG depression and the quality of PCG-child relationship. Supports that can mitigate the impact of PI for vulnerable caregivers and children are discussed.

The Impact

Abstract Background Cancer impacts on patients and their families across a range of different domains. For that reason, optimal cancer care has moved away from a disease-centric focus to a more holistic approach in order to proactively support people with their individual needs and concerns. While international policy clearly advocates this agenda, implementation into routine care is limited. Therefore, relevant interventions that measurably improve patient outcomes are essential to understand if this ideal is to become routine multidisciplinary practice. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of a proactive, holistic, community-based intervention on health-related quality of life in a cohort of people diagnosed with cancer. Secondary aim was to explore the relationship between changes in health status and: cancer type, cancer stage, number of concerns expressed and change in severity of concerns pre and post intervention. Method Prospective observational cohort study. A convenience sample of 437 individuals were referred to the service ‘Improving the Cancer Journey (ICJ) in the UK. Each completed the Euroqol EQ-5D-3L and visual analogue scale (VAS) and a Holistic Needs Assessment (HNA) during initial visit to the service and again at follow-up review, approximately 4 months later. Change between scores was tested with paired t-tests and relationships between variables with multiple regression models. Results Participants were White British with median age between 50-64 years. Cancer type and stage were varied. There was a statistically significant improvement in EQ-5D scores over time (t(330)=7.48, p<.001). The strongest predictor of change was a decrease in severity of concerns. Cancer stage ‘palliative care’ contributed to a reduction in health status. Conclusion This study is the first to show that a holistic community intervention dedicated to supporting the individual concerns of participants has a statistically and meaningful impact on participants’ health-related quality of life. The mean change in EQ-5D scores was more than the ‘minimally important clinical difference’ described in the literature. This is important because while quality of life has multiple determinants this study has reported that it is possible to capture a meaningful improvement as a function of reducing someone’s personally identified concerns.

Two regression analyses were performed that tested the relationships between the amount of negative sibling interaction and the amount of positive sibling interaction and measures of relationship quality and family form. When measures of husband-wife, mother-child, and father-child relationship quality were controlled, marital status was not significantly related to either measure of sibling interactions. However, when the marital status of the parents (family form) was controlled, both the quality of husband-wife relationship and the quality of mother-child relationship were positively related to positive sibling interaction and negatively related to negative sibling interaction. Regardless of family form, the quality of other relationships in the family were important predictors of sibling interactions.

The Impact

Abstract Background Quality-of-life is an essential outcome for clinical care. Both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes have been associated with poorer quality-of-life. The combined impact of having both diseases is less well understood. As diabetes is the most common cause of CKD, it is imperative that we deepen our understanding of their joint impact. Methods This was a prospective, longitudinal cohort study of community-based Australians aged ≥25 years who participated in the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle study. Quality-of-life was measured by physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary sub-scores of the Short Form (36) Health Survey. Univariate and multivariate linear mixed effect regressions were performed. Results Of the 11 081 participants with quality-of-life measurements at baseline, 1112 had CKD, 1001 had diabetes and of these 271 had both. Of the 1112 with CKD 421 had Stage 1, 314 had Stage 2, 346 had Stage 3 and 31 had Stages 4/5. Adjusted linear mixed effect models showed baseline PCS was lower for those with both CKD and diabetes compared with either disease alone (P &lt; 0.001). Longitudinal analysis demonstrated a more rapid decline in PCS in those with both diseases. Conclusions The combination of CKD and diabetes has a powerful adverse impact on quality-of-life, and participants with both diseases had significantly poorer quality-of-life than those with one condition.

Individualism And Collectivism

The study examined associations among adolescents’ perceived mother-child and father-child relationship quality (intimacy, conflict, and admiration), perceived peer acceptance, and their values (individualism and collectivism) in a sample of 795 Estonian, German, and Russian 15-year-olds. Adolescents from the three cultural contexts differed in terms of their relationships with parents and peers but were similar in valuing both individualism and collectivism highly. Individualistic values were positively linked to adolescents’ peer acceptance in individualistic cultures, whereas collectivistic values of adolescents were positively associated with the quality of their relationships with parents in all cultures. Across cultures, maternal and paternal admiration showed the strongest positive association with peer acceptance of adolescents. Among Estonian adolescents, further associations emerged: higher levels of intimacy with fathers and conflict levels in both mother-child and father-child relationship were related to adolescents’ lower peer acceptance. The results are discussed from a social-cultural perspective.
