AbstractThe purpose of this article is to review the literature regarding the relationships between alexithymia, fibromyalgia (FM), and psychological distress among adolescents. Google Scholar and databases were searched using alexithymia, fibromyalgia, psychological distress, and adolescent keywords. Studies that examine the relationship between alexithymia and fibromyalgia and the contribution of psychological distress on this relationship among adolescents are lacking. However, based on previous studies on adult samples and theoretical background, there are possible relationship between alexithymia and fibromyalgia as well as possible mediating effect of psychological distress on this relationship in adolescents. Further studies are recommended to examine the relationships between alexithymia, fibromyalgia, and psychological distress among adolescents.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health is an emerging problem globally. This study aimed to examine the mediating effect of chronic illnesses in the relationship between psychological health and the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine, prior to the national vaccine rollout in Malaysia. An online cross-sectional study was conducted in Malaysia between December 10, 2020, and February 9, 2021. In addition to the descriptive analyses, a mediation analysis was performed to examine the mediating effect of chronic illnesses in the relationship between psychological distress and the willingness to accept the vaccine. A total of 1738 participants completed the survey. The psychological distress levels were found to be significantly different across demographic factors such as age, gender, and social economic status. This study demonstrated a partial mediating effect of chronic illnesses in the relationship between psychological distress and vaccine acceptance.

Abstract: Nausea and vomiting are common problems in early pregnancy. Symptoms of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women that persist and get worse are called hyperemesis gravidarum. The causes of hyperemesis gravidarum are not exactly known, but it is supposed that they could be caused inter alia by psychological factors. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between the psychological state of pregnant women and the incidence of hyperemesis gravidarum. This was a literature review study by using three databases, namely Google Scholar, ClinicalKey, and Pubmed. The keywords used were psychological AND hyperemesis gravidarum. The result showed that the psychological conditions assessed in most literatures were anxiety disorders, depression, and stress. Pregnant women who suffered from anxiety and stress could trigger or worsen the depression. The higher level of anxiety would increase the chance of suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum. Therefore, pregnant women need additional psychological support during treatment and as a follow-up for pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum. In conclusion, the psychological state of pregnant women is related to the incidence of hyperemesis gravidarum.Keywords: psychological, hyperemesis gravidarum, nausea and vomiting Abstrak: Mual dan muntah merupakan masalah yang biasa terjadi pada awal kehamilan. Gejala mual dan muntah pada ibu hamil yang menetap dan bahkan bertambah berat disebut hiperemesis gravidarum. Faktor pemicu terjadinya hiperemesis gravidarum pada ibu hamil belum diketahui secara pasti, tetapi diperkirakan antara lain oleh faktor psikologis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan keadaan psikologis ibu hamil dengan kejadian hiperemesis gravidarum. Jenis penelitian ialah literature review dengan pencarian data menggunakan tiga database yaitu Google Scholar, ClinicalKey, dan Pubmed. Kata kunci yang digunakan yaitu psikologis /psychological AND hiperemesis gravidarum/hyperemesis gravidarum. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan bahwa kondisi psikologis yang dinilai pada sebagian besar literatur yang dikaji ialah mengenai gangguan kecemasan, depresi, dan stres. Ibu hamil yang mengalami cemas dan stres dapat memicu atau memperburuk terjadinya depresi. Tingkat kecemasan yang semakin tinggi akan meningkatkan peluang untuk mengalami hiperemesis gravidarum sehingga diperlukan dukungan psikologis tambahan selama perawatan dan sebagai tindak lanjut ibu hamil dengan hiperemesis gravidarum. Simpulan penelitian ini ialah keadaan psikologis ibu hamil berhubungan dengan kejadian hiperemesis gravidarum. Kata kunci: psikologis, hiperemesis gravidarum, mual dan muntah

ABSTRACTWhile an association between UI and psychological distress among older adults has been established in the literature, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain less clear. Using a sample of 4,689 older adults from the Canadian Community Health Survey (1.1), we test the potential mediating and moderating effects of four dimensions of social support on the UI–distress relationship. Incontinent older adults are significantly more likely to report higher levels of distress than continent adults. Although we do not find support for a mediating effect of any of the dimensions of social support, we do report a significant interaction between one dimension of social support (tangible support) and UI. A buffering effect of tangible support is evident for continent – but not incontinent – respondents. These findings emphasize the need to assess the types of social support and the context in which they operate.

This paper explores the relationship between the experience of colonisation and the experience of self for Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa. As we celebrate the formation of Waka Oranga in 2007, and its work in the years since, the publication of this paper is particularly fitting, drawing as it does on research originally undertaken at the time of the roopu’s formation. It is based on the lead author’s 2008 Master of Psychotherapy dissertation research in which he undertook a modified systematic literature review located within a kaupapa Māori research framework, in order to explore the experience of self for Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa and its relationship to colonisation. The paper examines the process of racialisation: The construction and resulting interiorisation of Indigenous peoples as Other’. The paper contends that this process has the effect of disrupting indigenous ontologies creating a divided and alienated experience of self for Indigenous peoples. Within Aotearoa, the phenomenon of whakamā and mate Māori are hypothesised as the indigenous experience of this alienated and divided self. The paper suggests that arguably all psychological distress for Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa arise to some degree fromthese experiences. Implications for psychotherapy are considered. Psychotherapy and psychotherapists are challenged to re-evaluate both the underlying positivist conceptualisations of self, and ongoing processes of colonisation, in order that they may be more fully equipped to effectively work alongside indigenous communities in Aotearoa.

This study empirically examines the relationship between leadership, knowledge management, and teacher motivation by studying a boarding school. Specifically, this research tests whether leadership style has a mediating effect on the relationship between knowledge management and motivation. Based on the literature review, a theoretical framework for this study is established. A survey was employed to gather information from the teachers of a boarding school located in Solo city, Indonesia. This study employs SEM-PLS to estimate the empirical model. Knowledge management is found to have insignificant effect on leadership style. However, knowledge management and leadership are positively associated with teacher motivation. This research extends the literature on knowledge management by linking with teacher motivation and leadership style. The use of Islamic leadership style may also contribute to the existing literature.

AbstractGlobal study “The Lancer Breastfeeding Series” 2016 explains that infant mortality due to infection reaches 88% in infants aged less than three months, while 82% of children get sick because they do not receive exclusive breastfeeding. Exclusive breastfeeding can reduce infant mortality due to infection. Several factors that affect exclusive breastfeeding are the mother, the infant, and support factors. One of the sources of support that can affect exclusive breastfeeding is the husband’s support. This study aimed to determine the relationship between husband's support and exclusive breastfeeding through a literature review. This study uses a literature review method. The articles used are sourced from online databases with electronic searches on Google Scholar and Garuda Portal published in 2011-2021. The critical assessment instrument used is the STROBE instrument. Based on the 6 articles used in the litarture review, the results showed that in 3 articles namely research from Fitriani (2020), Rolita (2020), and Aries (2019), there was a correlation between the husband’s support and exclusive breastfeeding. Meanwhile, in the other three articles namely research fromIndriyani (2019), Novira (2017), and Rahayu (2018), there was no correlation between the husband’s support and exclusive breastfeeding.

The onset of behavioral problems in early childhood is associated with an increased frequency of delinquent behavior. A significant amount of youth in the juvenile justice system have histories of mental illness and psychological distress. However, little is known about what factors mediate the relationship between early onset behavioral problems and psychological distress. The present study tested the mediating effect of parental monitoring, antisocial peers, exposure to violence, and gender on the relationship between behavioral problems and psychological distress. A secondary analysis of data from the Pathways to Desistence Study was examined using the serial mediation process proposed by Preacher and Hayes, a significant mediation of the behavior problems–psychological distress relationship was found. The results supported the mediational model in which parental monitoring impacted interaction with antisocial peers which in turn increased the level of violence exposure youth experienced ultimately leading to an increase in psychological distress.

This study aimed to investigate the status of sense of coherence (SOC), acceptance of disability (AD) and psychological distress (PD) of patients with permanent colostomy and evaluate the role of AD in mediating the relationship between SOC and PD. Cross-sectional data were collected from 162 patients with permanent colostomy at stoma care outpatient clinic. Structural Equation Model of the SOC, AD, and PD was established to examine the mediating effect. Results indicated that the SOC and AD of patients with permanent colostomy were both at a low level, and PD was common in patients. In addition, a partial mediating effect of AD between SOC and PD was verified. Enhancing the SOC and AD of patients with permanent colostomy could be essential for alleviating their PD.

Abstract: Heart failure is a serious health problem and a leading cause of death, illness, and poor quality of life. Although the diagnosis and treatment of this disease has significant progress, the prognosis is still poor. The physical performance of patients with heart failure, for example, measured by a 6-minute walking test can be used to assess the functional capacity and assess the prognosis of the patient. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between physical performance and prognosis of patients with heart failure. This was a literature review study using literatures obtained from three databases, namely Pubmed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. The keywords used in searching the literatures were "physical performance OR 6 minutes walking test AND heart failure prognosis" and their variations and translations. After the selection, 10 literatures were reviewed. The results showed that any decreases in distance of the 6-minute walking test and in walking speed would increase the risk of rehospitalization and mortality as reported in nine literatures. In conclusion, there was a significant relationship between physical performance and prognosis of patients with heart failure.Keywords: physical performance, prognosis of heart failure Abstrak: Gagal jantung merupakan masalah kesehatan yang serius dan penyebab utama kematian, kesakitan, serta kualitas hidup yang buruk.
