Objective: Brain and nervous system cancer incidence was one of the ten most common cancers in Malaysia. The study intends to model the structural relationship of MDD, anxiety disorders, other psychiatric disorders, quality of life, coping styles and their associated factors among neurological disorder (brain tumour / brain disorder) patients. Methods: The EORTC-Quality of Life, Brief COPE, Single Item Social Support, MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview and Patient Health Questionnaires were utilised in the study. Results: The multivariate normality kurtosis was 6.174 with c.r = 2.440 obtained in this SEM model. Chi-square normalized by degrees of freedom, (χ̰2 /df) =1.086, p= 0.353. The RMSEA was 0.03, TLI = 0.988 and CFI =0.999 were obtained in the study. All 8 paths out of 10 paths were significant with p-values less than 0.05 (two-tailed) with R2 values ranging from 0.48 to 0.55 which indicates that the variance explained ranged from 48% for emotional functioning to 55% for severity of depression. The severity of MDD has positive relationship with insomnia and panic disorder lifetime and negative relationship with self distraction coping styles. Meanwhile emotional functioning had negative relationship with fatigue, venting and panic disorder lifetime and positive relationship with global health status. The emotional functioning also was correlated negatively with the severity of MDD (p < 0.005).  Conclusion: Therefore based on the path analysis, the main contributing factors of MDD severity were emotional functioning, insomnia, self distraction coping and panic disorder lifetime. The emotional functioning of the patients were influenced by the fatigue, global health status, venting coping styles and panic disorder lifetime and this increased the severity of MDD among the patients.  Therefore the role of quality of life and coping styles on depression and anxiety should not be neglected. The clinician, health psychologist, psychiatrist, and counselor in this country need to implement better treatments for the effected patients.

Background: Highly infectious respiratory disease COVID-19 emerged in Wuhan, China, and spread worldwide. Different measures have been adopted worldwide to contain the COVID-19, and these measures have various impacts on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (CP) and lockdown policy on physical health (PH)–psychological health (PsH), physical activity (PA), and overall well-being (OW) in the context of HRQoL, exploring the mediating role of emotional regulation (ER).Method: The current study was conducted in two provincial cities of China. An online survey was conducted in both the cities to collect the data. After quantifying the data, a total of 2,200 respondents data were analyzed through appropriate statistical techniques.Results: The study results indicate that CP was found significantly and negatively related to PH (β = −0.157, t = 9.444, p &lt; 0.001). A significant relationship was found between CP and PsH (β = 0.779, t = 45.013, p &lt; 0.001). The third prediction revealed a significant negative relationship between the CP and OW (β = −0.080, t = 5.261, p &lt; 0.001). The CP and PA had a significant negative relationship (β = −0.047, t = 3.351, p &lt; 0.001).Conclusion: The PH, PsH, and OW of the Chinese people were affected due to the CP and lockdown measures. It is suggested that ER intervention reduces the negative psychological impacts for improving quality of life. ER can function one's sentiments in their social environment effectively for quality of life.

Abstract Objective Patients suffering from cancer need to receive care from their family; however, their family caregivers do this without preparation or training, so their involvement in patients’ care results in a caregiving burden that may affect patient’s hope and quality of life (QOL). Methods This study examines the effect of caregiving burden on the QOL of cancer patients (n = 100) with the mediatory role of hope and shame. To achieve this, Persian versions of Zarit Burden Interview, the World Health Organization QOL, Herth Hope Index, and Guilt and Shame Proneness Scale were used. Meanwhile, path regression analysis was implemented to analyze the relationship between caregiving burden and QOL. Results The results implied a relation among caregiver burden, hope, and QOL of patients diagnosed with cancer. It was found that there is a direct and negative relationship between caregiver burden and hope. In addition, there was an indirect and positive relationship between caregiver burden and QOL. Hope and QOL also had a high correlation. Besides, it was shown that there was a negative relationship between the shame experienced by patients and their hope and QOL. Conclusion caregiver burden was proved to be influential and negatively affected the factor for the QOL. Besides, patients’ hope decreases while caregiving burden increases; this will in turn affect patients’ recovery and their physical, mental, and cognitive functions. This study provides a foundation for future research in this critical area for oncology.

Kualitas hidup merupakan aspek yang penting dalam kehidupan, terlebih lagi untuk perempuan yang telah menjadi ibu. Regulasi emosi merupakan strategi yang dilakukan untuk merespon emosi yang terjadi. Secara teoritis regulasi emosi dapat dikatakan berperan untuk menentukan kualitas hidup, namun penelitian menemukan hasil berbeda, dimana hubungan kedua variabel tersebut dinyatakan cukup lemah. Work life balance merupakan keadaan ketika seseorang dapat menyeimbangkan perannya sebagai pekerja dan di dalam keluarga. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat peran regulasi emosi terhadap kualitas hidup dengan work life balance sebagai mediator. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah para perempuan peran ganda, yang memiliki aktivitas keseharian, selain menjadi ibu dan istri di dalam keluarga. Teknik pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah purposive sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 400 orang perempuan peran ganda. Penelitian ini menggunakan tiga alat ukur, yaitu World Health Organizational Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) dan Work Life Balance Scale (WLBS). Pengujian model penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan Path Analysis Structural Model menggunakan LISREL 8.80. Hasil pengujian model menunjukan bahwa work life balance dapat berperan sebagai mediator dengan nilai (p-value>0.05) yaitu p-value 1.000 sehingga model dapat dikatakan berada pada kategori good fit. Hasil nilai standardized solution untuk peran regulasi emosi terhadap kualitas hidup yang awalnya sebesar 0.10 juga mengalami peningkatan menjadi 0.1224. Sehingga dapat mengindikasikan bahwa peranan regulasi emosi terhadap kualitas hidup akan lebih besar, ketika para perempuan peran ganda memiliki work life balance. Quality of life is an important aspect of life, especially for women who have become mothers. Emotion regulation is a strategy undertaken to respond to emotions that arise. Theoretically, emotional regulation can be said to play a role in determining the quality of life, however, studies found different results, where the relationship between the two variables was stated to be quite weak. Work-life balance is a condition when a person can balance their role as a worker and in the family. Therefore, this study aims to look at the role of emotion regulation on quality of life with work-life balance as a mediator. The population in this study are dual role women, who have daily activities, besides being mothers and wives in the family. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling with a total sample of 400 dual role women. This research uses three measuring instruments, namely World Health Organizational Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and Work Life Balance Scale (WLBS). Research model testing was done using the Path Analysis Structural Model using LISREL 8.80. The model testing result shows that work life balance can act as a mediator with (p-value> 0.05), which is p-value 1,000, that the model can be said to be in the good fit category. The results of the standardized solution for the role of emotion regulation on the quality of life which was originally at 0.10 also increased to 0.1224. It indicates that the role of emotion regulation on quality of life will be greater, when dual role women have work-life balance.
