Background: Quality of life includes the aspects of physical, emotional, social function, welfare and perceptions about life. Quality of life of children with tuberculosis is considered lower than the quality of life of healthy children. Little is known about the factors related to the quality of life of children with tuberculosis, especially in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.Objective: This study aims to examine the relationships of adherence, social support, quality of healthcare, self efficacy, and psychological response of parents towards quality of life of children with tuberculosis in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional correlation design, which was conducted from April to November 2016, and involved 41 caregiver and children with tuberculosis according to research criteria. A consecutive sampling was applied to determine sample size. Data were analyzed by bivariat and multivariat analysis using SPSS with significant level p=0.05 and confidence interval = 95%.Results: Findings showed significant relationships between social support, psychosocial response, mainly anxiety and stress (p<0.05) with quality of life. While adherence, self-efficay, and quality of healthcare did not have significant relationship (p>0.05) with quality of life. The results of multivariat analysis showed significant relationships between social support with r =0.305 (CI95%:0.134-0.188; p=0.026), psychosocial response of caregiver, mainly level of stress with r= 0.425 (CI95%:-1.369-0.126; p=0.007) and anxiety with r= 0.378 (CI95%: -0.107-1.692; p=0.03) and quality of children life  (R square=0.278). The strongest variable related to quality of children life was psychosocial response (anxiety)  of parents (r=0.425).Conclusions: Quality of life in children with tuberculosis is related to social support and psychosocial response of parents. The dominant factor is psychosocial responses of anxiety.

Objectives To examine maternal functioning and wellbeing as important aspects of a family’s adaptation to chronic paediatric conditions, in particular, children with diabetes. Method This cross-sectional study investigated the difference between the perceived quality of life of mothers of children with diabetes (n = 63) and mothers of children without diabetes (n = 114). The study also examined the role of self-efficacy, relationship satisfaction, number of social support providers, and satisfaction with social support in predicting quality of life. Results Mothers who had a child with diabetes had lower quality of life measured by general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health than mothers that did not have a child with diabetes. Self-efficacy, relationship satisfaction, and social support were significant predictors of quality of life (mental health domain). Conclusion In order to enhance their psychological wellbeing, mothers of children with diabetes require adequate psychosocial support. Other implications for research and potential interventions are discussed.

Purpose: This study tested self-efficacy and social support for activity and dietary changes as mediators of changes in type 2 diabetes related outcomes following a lifestyle intervention among Latino youth. Setting and Intervention: Latino adolescents (14-16 years) with obesity (BMI% = 98.1 ± 1.4) were randomized to a 3-month intervention (n = 67) that fostered self-efficacy and social support through weekly, family-centered sessions or a comparison condition (n = 69). Measures: Primary outcomes included insulin sensitivity and weight specific quality of life. Mediators included self-efficacy, friend, and family social support for health behaviors. Data was collected at baseline, 3-months, 6-months, and 12-months. Analysis: Sequential path analysis was used to examine mediators as mechanisms by which the intervention influenced primary outcomes. Results: The intervention had a direct effect on family (β = 0.33, P < .01) and friend social support (β = 0.22, P < .001) immediately following the intervention (3-months). Increased family social support mediated the intervention’s effect on self-efficacy at 6-months (β = 0.09, P < .01). However, social support and self-efficacy did not mediate long-term changes in primary outcomes ( P > .05) at 12-months. Conclusions: Family social support may improve self-efficacy for health behaviors in high-risk Latino youth, highlighting the important role of family diabetes prevention. Fostering family social support is a critical intervention target and more research is needed to understand family-level factors that have the potential to lead to long-term metabolic and psychosocial outcome in vulnerable youth.

Abstract STUDY QUESTION What self-management factors are associated with quality of life among women with endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER Greater self-efficacy was associated with improved physical and mental quality of life. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Women with endometriosis have an impaired quality of life compared to the general female population. However, most studies have investigated quality of life in a hospital or clinic setting rather than a community setting and the association between self-management factors and quality of life have not, to date, been investigated. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION A cross-sectional, population-based online survey was performed, which was advertised through women’s, community and endometriosis-specific groups. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS A total of 620 women completed the survey for this study. Mental and physical quality of life was assessed using the standardized SF36v2 questionnaire. Self-management factors included self-efficacy, partners in health (active involvement in managing the condition) and performance of self-care activities. Treatment approaches included the use of hormonal treatment, pain medications and complementary therapies and whether the participant had a chronic disease management plan. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to examine whether self-management and treatment factors were associated with quality of life. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Both physical and mental quality of life were significantly lower among women with endometriosis compared to the mean scores of the general Australian female population (P &lt; 0.001). Physical quality of life was positively associated with income sufficiency (P &lt; 0.001) and greater self-efficacy (P &lt; 0.001), but negatively associated with age (P &lt; 0.001), pain severity (P &lt; 0.001), use of prescription medications (P &lt; 0.001), having a chronic disease management plan (P &lt; 0.05) and number of self-care activities (P &lt; 0.05). Mental quality of life was positively associated with being older (P &lt; 0.001), partnered (P &lt; 0.001), having a university education (P &lt; 0.05), increasing self-efficacy (P &lt; 0.001) and higher partners in health scores (P &lt; 0.001). LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION Results are derived from a cross-sectional study and can only be interpreted as associations not as causal relationships. The sample was more educated, more likely to speak English and be born in Australia than the general Australian female population of the same age, which may influence the generalizability of these results. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS This study investigated a knowledge gap by investigating quality of life of women with endometriosis in a large community sample. Self-efficacy was significantly associated with both physical and mental quality of life. Supporting women with endometriosis to improve self-efficacy through a structured chronic disease management programme may lead to improvements in this aspect of wellbeing.

Objective: to ascertain the association between the social support and the quality of life of relative caregivers of elderly dependents at home.Method: a cross-sectional study conducted with 58 relative caregivers of elderly dependents, registered in the Family Health Strategy. Data were collected from the Katz instrument, sociodemographic, Zarit Burden Interview, WHOQOL-bref, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression.Results: the majority of caregivers were women, who took care full-time and presented moderate to severe burden. Most caregivers are satisfied with their social relationships and the social support received. It is found that the burden and the time of care correlated with the social relationships domain, which is associated with social support, and consequently, reduced quality of life.Conclusion: social support for caregivers is important to prevent health implications, burden, biopsychosocial stress, and provide favorable conditions for quality of life, by allowing greater freedom to develop their daily activities.
