Abstract Background The etiology of reflux esophagitis (RE) is multi-factorial. This study analyzed the relationship of depression, anxiety, lifestyle and eating habits with RE and its severity and further explored the impact of anxiety and depression on patients’ symptoms and quality of life. Methods From September 2016 to February 2018, a total of 689 subjects at Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University participated in this survey. They were divided into the RE group (patients diagnosed with RE on gastroscopy, n = 361) and the control group (healthy individuals without heartburn, regurgitation and other gastrointestinal symptoms, n = 328). The survey included general demographic information, lifestyle habits, eating habits, comorbidities, current medications, the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) questionnaire (GerdQ), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 depression scale and the General Anxiety Disorder-7 anxiety scale. Results The mean age and sex ratio of the two groups were similar. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the following factors as related to the onset of RE (p < 0.05): low education level; drinking strong tea; preferences for sweets, noodles and acidic foods; sleeping on a low pillow; overeating; a short interval between dinner and sleep; anxiety; depression; constipation; history of hypertension; and use of oral calcium channel blockers. Ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed a positive correlation between sleeping on a low pillow and RE severity (p = 0.025). Depression had a positive correlation with the severity of symptoms (rs = 0.375, p < 0.001) and patients’ quality of life (rs = 0.306, p < 0.001), whereas anxiety showed no such association. Conclusions Many lifestyle factors and eating habits were correlated with the onset of RE. Notably, sleeping on a low pillow was positively correlated with RE severity, and depression was positively related to the severity of symptoms and patients’ quality of life.

Major Hypothesis

This research aims to determine the relationship between psychological and demographic factors, which are dispositional optimism, and self-efficacy are the psychological factors, meanwhile home, sex and ethnicity as the demographic factors of quality of life in the older adults. The major hypothesis of this research proposed that there are positive relationship from both psychological factors and demographic factors to the quality of life in older adults. This study involved 53 older adult peoples. The result of multiple regression analysis shows that there is a positive relationship from all five variables to the quality of life in older adults as big as 76,5% (Adjusted R2= 0,765). This result means that both the psychological and demographic factors do have effective contributions to the quality of life in older adult people. The results of t-tests are also discussed.

The Relationship

Background. The cross-sectional study is aimed at investigating the relationship between cortisol, testosterone, and metabolic characteristics among male schizophrenics. Methods. 174 patients were grouped based on their risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) into the non-MetS, high-risk-MetS (HR-MetS), or MetS groups. Metabolic indices (body mass index (BMI), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cholesterol, triglyceride, and fasting blood glucose (FBG)) were associated with cortisol and testosterone levels using correlation analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to associate the correlations between the WHO Quality of Life–BREF (WHOQOL–BREF) score and the five metabolic indices. Results. The WHOQOL–BREF score for the non-MetS group significantly differed from the scores of the HR-MetS and MetS groups. The triglyceride level was positively correlated with the cortisol level, while all five metabolic indices were negatively correlated with testosterone level. Stepwise regression analysis produced a model predicting WHOQOL–BREF scores with four variables including MAP, intelligence quotient (IQ), FBG, and age. The correlation analysis then showed that there was a weak linear correlation between the testosterone level and all five metabolic indices. Conclusions. Among the five metabolic indices, the risks of hypertension and hyperglycemia are correlated with the quality of life in male schizophrenics rather than those of obesity or hyperlipidemia.

The Relationship

Objective Data on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) patients are scarce. The objectives of this study were ( 1 ) to explore HRQOL of APD patients and compare it with HRQOL of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients and a general population sample, and ( 2 ) to study the relationship between HRQOL assessment outcomes and background variables. Design Home interviews of APD and CAPD patients. HRQOL, social-demographic, clinical, and treatment-related background data were collected at the interview and from patient charts. Multiple regression analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to study the relationship of HRQOL assessment outcomes with background variables. Setting Sixteen Dutch dialysis centers. Patients Convenience sample of 37 APD patients and 59 CAPD patients matched for total time on dialysis. Main Outcome Measures Four HRQOL instruments: Short-Form 36, EuroQol EQ-5D, Standard Gamble, and Time Trade Off. Results Physical functioning of both APD and CAPD patients was impaired compared with the general population; mental functioning was not different. In multivariate analyses, the mental health of APD patients was found to be better than that of CAPD patients. In addition, APD patients were less anxious and depressed than CAPD patients. With respect to physical aspects of HRQOL and role-functioning, no differences were observed between APD and CAPD patients. Other variables to explain HRQOL assessment outcomes were age, the number of comorbid diseases, and primary kidney disease. Conclusions HRQOL of APD patients is at least equal to HRQOL of CAPD patients.

IntroductionThe modern psychiatric view of schizophrenia spectrum disorders and their treatment has led to an increasing focus on coping strategies and quality of life of these patients.ObjectivesUnderstanding the relationship between quality of life and coping strategies can help in finding those coping strategies that enhance the quality of life. It is important to study the inner experience and striving of patients because of connection with well-being and treatment adherence.Aims:In the present study, the authors examined the relationship between demographic data, the severity of symptoms, coping strategies, and quality of life in psychotic outpatients.MethodsPsychiatric outpatients who met ICD-10 criteria for a psychotic disorder (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or delusional disorder) were recruited in the study. Questionnaires measuring the coping strategies (SVF-78), the quality of life (Q-LES-Q), and symptoms severity (objective and subjective clinical global impression–objCGI; subjCGI) were assessed. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U-test, Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis.ResultsOne hundred and nine psychotic outpatients were included in the study. The QoL was significantly related to the Positive and Negative coping strategies. The severity of disorder highly negatively correlated with the QoL score. Stepwise regression analysis showed that symptoms severity (subjCGI), Positive coping strategies (especially Positive Self-instruction), Difference between the objCGI and subjCGI and Negative coping strategies explain totally 53.8% of variance of the QoL (Tables 1–3).Table 1Description of the sample, demographic and clinical data. Table 2Description of using coping strategies and quality of life in schizophrenic outpatients. Average use of coping 40-60 T-score, more than 60 overusing, less than 40 reduced use of coping strategy.Table 3Correlations between quality of life and coping strategies. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.ConclusionsOur study suggests the importance of utilizing the Positive coping strategies in improving the quality of life in patients with psychotic disorders.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara beban psikologis dengan kualitas hidup yang dimoderatori oleh koping religius pada caregiver wanita dengan kanker payudara. Subjek penelitian ini berjumlah 70 responden yang merupakan caregiver keluarga wanita dengan kanker payudara di Ruang Instalasi Kanker Terpadu “Tulip” RSUP Dr. Sardjito. Terdapat tiga alat ukur yang digunakan dalam penelitian diantaranya WHOQOL-BREF yang sudah diadaptasi sebelumnya ke dalam bahasa Indonesia untuk mengukur kualitas hidup, skala beban psikologis untuk mengukur beban psikologis dan skala koping religius untuk mengukur koping religius yang mana kedua skala merupakan skala yang sudah digunakan dalam penelitian sebelumnya dan dimodifikasi. Analisis data menggunakan Moderated Regression Analysis. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa beban psikologis secara signifikan memprediksi kualitas hidup (B= -0,388, p kurang dari 0,01) dengan sumbangan efektif sebesar 15,0 persen, sedangkan koping religius tidak terbukti memoderatori hubungan antara beban psikologis dan kualitas hidup (p lebih dari 0,05). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah beban psikologis dapat mempengaruhi kualitas hidup pada caregiver wanita dengan kanker payudara. Koping religius tidak memoderatori hubungan antara beban psikologis dan kualitas hidup pada caregiver wanita dengan kanker payudara. Abstract. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between psychological burden and quality of life moderated by religious coping among caregivers of women with breast cancer. A total of subjects in this study were 70 family caregivers of women with breast cancer in the Intensive Cancer Center “Tulip” Dr. Sardjito Hospital. Data were collected using three scales such as WHOQOL-BREF to measure the quality of life which has been previously adapted in Bahasa Indonesia, and Psychological Burden Scale to measure psychological burden and the Religious Coping Scale to measure religious coping were both measurements from a previous study which was modified to fit the subjects of study. Analysis of data using Moderated Regression Analysis. This study showed that psychological burden significantly predicts the quality of life (B= -0,388; p less than 0,01) with effective contribution 15 percent, whereas religious coping was not proven to moderate the relation between psychological burden and quality of life (p more than 0,05). In conclusion, the psychological burden could affect the quality of life among caregivers of women with breast cancer. Religious coping did not moderate the relationship between psychological burden and quality of life among caregivers of women with breast cancer.
