Stress is a mental condition that decreases the quality of life and influences almost every feature of life. Stress is a significant issue these days, particularly among students. The age that was once assumed to be the most cheerful phase of life is currently under a lot of pressure. Increment in levels of stress these days’ prompts to numerous issues like misery, suicide, coronary episode, and stroke. In this paper, we are ascertaining the stress levels of students during their B. Tech degree. Our goal is to examine stress in the students at various focuses in his life. The impact that semester exam or placement tests has on student often goes unnoticed. The fact of understudy being in a relationship is not taken into account as a prime factor in calculating stress levels. In this research paper, we have considered that factor also. For calculating stress levels, students were asked some basic questions about how they feel, and what comes into mind when they see a picture and some personal questions based on their relationship status.

Abstract Aims General surgery consultants have some of the highest rates of burnout. Ever increasing emergency general surgery (EGS) admissions playing a major role in this. A move to create split sub-speciality cover consisting of upper GI/HPB (UGI) and colorectal (CR) consultants has been suggested to improve EGS outcomes. We assessed the impact changing on-call working patterns had on perceived consultant stress levels, manageability of their workload and patient length of stay (LOS). Methods Consultant on call patterns changed from an individual consultant covering four consecutive weekdays to two consultants (one UGI/HPB, one CR) sharing four consecutive weekdays. Consultants were surveyed to assess the impact of this change on the manageability of their workload and their perceived stress levels. Admission numbers and LOS were also analysed for all EGS admissions over a 6-month period either side of the rota change. Results 89% of consultants who responded chose to work the new on call format. 78% felt it had improved the manageability of their workload, decreased perceived stress levels and improved quality of patient care. There was no change in the number of EGS admissions (862 vs 866) or EGS patient length over the time periods studied (Pre: 0D: 8%, 1 – 2D 38%, 3 – 4D 19%, >4D 34%. vs Post: 0D 8%, 1 – 2D 40%, 3 – 4D 17%, > 4D 35%). Conclusions A move to shorter and sub-specialty on call duties reduced stress and improved manageability for consultant general surgeons without adverse impact on patient’s length of stay.

Background:For populations with chronic disease, measurement of QOLprovides a meaningful way to determine the impact of health care when cure is not possible. Revicki and colleagues (2000) dene QOL as "a broad range of human experiences related to one's overall well-being. It implies value based on subjective functioning in comparison with personal expectations and is dened by subjective experiences, states and perceptions. The World Health Organization (2010) denes mental health as a state of positive mental condition in which one realizes his/her capabilities, manages the life stresses, put effort effectively and efciently, and is competent enough to put some contribution to his/her society. According to mental health model (Veit & Ware, 1983), there are two components of mental health, rst is psychological well-being and the other is psychological distress. Therefore, studying the relationship between quality of life and mental health of People with type II diabetes will reveal that to what extend a good quality of life have a relationship in maintaining better mental health in order to cope up with diabetes complications. Objective:The present study was undertaken to know the relationship between quality of life and mental health of people with Type II diabetes. Sample: 30 Type II diabetes were selected from the Diabetes Management Clinic in Rural areas for the assessment of quality of life and mental health. Methodology:The quality of life was assessed using “The Quality of Life Scale (QOLS)” by John Flanagan (1970) and Mental health was assessed using “Mental health inventory (MHI)-18 items by Veit and ware (1983). Finding and Conclusion: The study revealed that there is a signicant relationship between quality of life and mental health of people with Type II diabetes

BackgroundMeta-analyses link childhood trauma to depression, mania, anxiety, and psychosis. It is unclear, however, whether these outcomes truly represent distinct disorders following childhood trauma, or that childhood trauma is associated with admixtures of affective, psychotic, anxiety and manic psychopathology throughout life.AimTo investigate the impact of trauma on psychopathological phenotype, functional outcome, and daily life stress reactivity.MethodsWe used data from a representative general population sample (NEMESIS-2; n = 6646), of whom respectively 1577 and 1120 had a lifetime diagnosis of mood or anxiety disorder, as well as from a sample of patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia (GROUP; n = 825). Multinomial logistic regression was used to assess whether childhood trauma was more strongly associated with isolated affective/psychotic/anxiety/manic symptoms than with their admixture. Additionally, we examined these groups in terms of social functioning, clinical severity, and quality of life. In a separate sample (n = 621), daily life (emotional and cortisol) stress reactivity was assessed, using ambulatory assessment.ResultsIn all samples, childhood trauma was considerably more strongly associated with an admixture of symptoms of depression, anxiety, psychosis, and mania, rather than with these symptoms in isolation. Individuals exposed to childhood trauma, who also had an admixture of symptoms, had a lower quality of life, more help-seeking behaviour, higher prevalence of substance use disorders, and lower social functioning, compared with individuals not exposed to trauma, without an admixture of symptoms, or neither. Furthermore, trauma-exposed individuals with an admixed psychopathological phenotype show a higher daily emotional stress reactivity.ConclusionChildhood trauma increases the likelihood of a specific admixture of affective, anxiety and psychotic symptoms cutting across traditional diagnostic boundaries. Stratifying according to childhood trauma exposure thus identifies an admixed phenotype, possibly induced by continuous daily life stress reactivity, that has important clinical relevance. Identification of functionally meaningful aetiological subgroups may aid clinical practice.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Students often experience stress that comes from academic activities. For final-year students, finishing a thesis often become a stressor. Symptoms of stress in students are feeling tired, anxious, not eager to do the thesis. The impact is the thesis is delayed and the students chose to forget it, avoided their lecturers, complained in the social media about the difficulties encountered and ultimately delayed the study period. When experiencing stress, students share their problems to the peer group to get a solution or just to relieve his feelings, called self disclosure. This study aims to determine the influence of self disclosure on stress levels, using method of correlation with simple linear regression analysis. The measuring instrument were the Revised Self Disclosure Scale and the Student-Life Stress Inventory. The participants were 49 students of psychology UIN who are working on thesis. The results showed no influence of self disclosure toward stress levels.

Psoriasis is a physically, emotionally, and socially invalidating multifactorial disorder, with a significant impact on the patients’ quality of life. Stress is one of the leading triggers for psoriasis and has been associated with disease onset and subsequent flare-ups, while the flare-ups by themselves often lead to psychological discomfort. The treatment of psoriasis is individualized, depending on the patients’ measurable severity of illness, as well as the impact the skin condition has on patients’ quality of life, as assessed by standardized questionnaires. The clinical scales used nowadays for measuring the severity of psoriasis are characterized by low reproducibility and high variability between examiners. Hence, there is a real need to identify objectively measurable biomarkers to standardize the assessment of the severity of psoriasis. We aim to review the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in psoriasis, focusing on the most critical advances in psoriasis biomarker discovery, pointing out those biomarkers which have also been studied in other stress-related conditions, thus emphasizing the relationship between psoriasis and stress.

Abstract Background: Hospice care is aimed at chronically and terminally ill patients. It includes symptomatic treatment as standard, but the interest in physiotherapy programs for hospice patients is increasing in order to improve their functioning and quality of life. Aim: The aim of the study is to assess the impact of a multi-component individualized physiotherapy program on the functional and mental condition and quality of life of patients in a home hospice. Material and method:The study included 60 patients (mean 66.3 years) in a home hospice living in southern Poland. Functional status was assessed twice: before and after intervention. The program was performed for 6 weeks (12 trainings) and was managed on the basis of WHO Rehab-Cycle ICF. The program was individually tailored to the patient, but structured according to the same scheme, i.e. breathing, strengthening, transfer, balance and functional exercisesas well as functional ergonomics. Patients participated in setting particular objectives of the program. The study used: Katz (ADL) and Lawton (IADL) scales, Tinetti test, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain scale, WHOQOL – BREF, Yesavage Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). A set of ICF categories in terms of function, activity and participation was selected for the studied areas. Results: The average functional level of ADL (mean 2.87) and IADL (mean 11.92) as well as quality of life (WHOQL mean 46.43) of researched patients before the intervention were low, whereas the intensity of pain (VAS mean 5.82), the risk of falling (Tinetti mean 8.20) and depression (GDS mean 16.65) were recorded high. After the completion of the intervention program, a significant improvement was found in all assessed areas, in particular in the scope of performing basic everyday activities(ADL mean 3.95), risk of falling (Tinetti mean 12.25) and QOL (mean 52.58). Conclusions: The physiotherapeutic intervention presented here has a significant impact on improving the performance of basic and complex activities of everyday life as well as the emotional state and quality of life of patients in a home hospice. The results of our research confirm the great need for physiotherapy in hospice patients and for comprehensive assessment by means of ICF. Registration number: researchregistry5264

IntroductionAssociations between psychiatric disorders and relationship status as well as the impact of psychiatric symptoms on the quality of romantic relationships have already been demonstrated but the association between psychiatric symptoms and the capacity to maintain romantic relationships has been rarely examined.AimTo investigate anxiety, depressive symptoms and capacity to love (CTL) in single women (sw) and those in a relationship (rw).MethodsTwo hundred healthy adult females (100 sw, 100 rw; mean age 27.8 ± 8.1 yrs and 27.3 ± 8.1 yrs, respectively) completed the PHQ-4 and the CTL-Inventory. Differences in anxiety and depressive symptoms and CTL between both groups were assessed by independent-samples t-tests. Moreover, correlations between CTL, anxiety and depressive symptoms in each group were investigated.ResultsSw showed a significantly higher level of depressive symptoms (meansw ± SDsw 1.5 9 ± 1.66, meanrw ± SDrw 1.07 ± 1.37, P = 0.016) and a significantly lower CTL (meansw ± SDsw 126.81 ± 12.60; meanrw ± SDrw 137.13 ± 11.26, P ≤ 0.001) than rw but no differences occurred for anxiety symptoms.Among sw, CTL negatively correlated with depressive (r = −0.37, P < 0.001) and anxiety symptoms (r = −0.44, P < 0.001) whereas in rw, a negative correlation occurred only between CTL and depressive symptoms (r = −0.43, P < 0.001).ConclusionOur results suggest that single women, compared to women in a relationship, show a lower CTL and suffer more from depressive symptoms.Furthermore, a lower CTL is associated with more anxiety and depressive symptoms, thus suggesting that future therapeutic approaches to depression and anxiety should also take into account relationship conflicts and CTL. As a crucial personality trait, CTL might be an important moderator of coping with common psychiatric symptoms.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.
