Psychological Dimensions

Stressful experiences like accidents and close misses produce distinct emotional responses in those going through them. Short-term stressors of this kind make one appreciate the effects long-term stressors must have on one's capacity to adapt and react appropriately and safely to an ever-changing, demanding environment. Acute trauma and injuries are associated with an increased perception of persistent stressful events. Studies of athletes indicate that the risk of injury increases in direct relationship to the accumulation of challenging life change events which demand radical adaptation and coping behaviours from the individual experiencing them. Life change events are situations the individual interprets as overwhelming, threatening, unsatisfying and contradictory. The impact of life change events on psychological dimensions constitutes no simple process; it is complex and multi-factorial. Implications for the prevention and rehabilitation of sport injuries have to be appraised with this back-drop in mind.

The Impact

While assessing the economic impacts of corruption, the corruption-related transmission channels which influence taxation as such have to be duly considered. Taking the example of the Czech Republic, this article aims to evaluate the impacts corruption has on the size of the shadow economy as well as on the individual sources of long-term economic growth, making use of a transmission channel through which corruption affects the tax burden components. Using the method of an extended DSGE model, it confirms the initial assumption that an increase in perceived corruption supports the shadow economy’s growth, but at the same time, it demonstrates that corruption and especially its perception has a significantly different effect on two key areas—the capital accumulation and the labour force size. It further identifies another sector of the economy representing taxes which are prone to tax evasion while asserting that corruption has a much more destructive effect on this sector of the economy, offering generalized implications for other post-communist EU member states in a similar situation.

Abstract Background As there is incontrovertible evidence of the essential prerequisite of regular physical activity it is also important to understand how different life change events may impact individual's participation in physical activity. Pregnancy and the transition to parenthood have been found to be life change events associated with decreased physical activity among women however, the examination of changes of physical activity in the male parent during this major life change event has been largely neglected in scientific literature and a significant research gap can be found. In the light of this, this longitudinal study aimed to follow changing physical activity patterns among women and med during pregnancy and eight months postpartum compared to pre-pregnancy. Methods The study involved 123 women and 112 men (partners of the women) from the municipality of Karlskrona, Sweden. We measured the self-reported amount of physical activity performed outdoors and indoors before pregnancy (calculated from one month before pregnancy), throughout the entire pregnancy, and eight months postpartum. Results We found similar trends among both women and men in decreasing frequency of physical activity during pregnancy and eight months postpartum as compared to pre-pregnancy, however, overall physical activity levels did not change. Conclusions Our findings contribute new knowledge about changes in men's physical activity patterns from pre-pregnancy to pregnancy and postpartum and is an important contribution in research, as the area is very limited. As couples seem to change activity patterns similarly, it is important to promote family-based physical activity initiatives and encourage couples to be active together during pregnancy and postpartum. Key messages Couples seem to change physical activity patterns similarly during pregnancy and postpartum. as compared to pre-pregnancy. It is important to promote family-based physical activity initiatives and encourage couples to be active together during pregnancy and postpartum.

The Impact

The impact of sexuality on mental wellbeing in women in long-term relationships has only been partially investigated. Emphasis has been on quantitative research studies that do not capture the breadth of the field. The present study looked at how and to what extent women maintain sexual desire in long-term relationships, and how sexuality affects their mental wellbeing. The study used a qualitative narrative approach and included semi-structured interviews with approximately 20 Israeli women aged 40–55 from similar socioeconomic backgrounds and in longstanding, permanent relationships. The findings indicate significant development over the years in the perception of the role of sexuality and its impact on mental wellbeing. The path to good sexuality can and should follow women’s leadership and initiative. Such women have the desire to make an impact, willingness to make an effort, and even an actual ability to exert influence. The interviewees’ tools, strategies, insights and ways of coping can serve as models for other women seeking better sexuality in a long-term relationship.

This chapter is part of an extensive panel survey conducted among the BRAC COVID-19 response HHs between April 2020 to September 2020. This chapter aims to describe the food insecurity status of BRAC-supported HHs and their coping strategies to combat the impact of COVID-19. A total of 6,086 HHs were interviewed in the 1st round (April 2020-June 2020), whilst these HHs were interviewed in the 2nd round (July 2020 to September 2020). Findings reveal that COVID-19 has created an unprecedented impact on HH food insecurity. The study prepared a food index score and found that 33% of HHs are extremely food insecure, whilst 19% are highly insecure. In terms of coping strategies to the current food needs of the HHs, dependency on the personal mechanism and institutional mechanisms were identified. The study argues that the COVID-19 crisis forces HHs into long-term loan burden, which may lead to another hurdle, causing delayed HHs economic recovery. Long-term GO and NGO sustainable economic recovery intervention could help marginalized people to build back better from COVID-19.

Abstract Background In diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease (MVD), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has shown long-term benefits in mortality over percutaneous coronary revascularization (PCI). Nevertheless, the impact of fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided PCI on clinical outcomes has never been investigated in these patients. Purpose To evaluate the long-term (5-year) clinical outcome of diabetic patients with MVD treated with FFR-guided PCI compared to CABG. Methods From February 2010 to February 2018, all diabetic patients undergoing coronary angiography in one centre (n=4622) were screened for inclusion. The inclusion criterion was presence of at least two-vessels CAD defined as with diameters stenosis ≥50%. In case of intermediate coronary stenosis (%DS 30–70%), FFR was performed at the discretion of the operator. Revascularization was performed when FFR ≤0.80. Exclusion criteria were ST-elevation myocardial infarction, prior CABG, and moderate or severe valvular heart dysfunction. To account for confounders, we compared outcomes by calculating an adjusted Kaplan-Meier estimator using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). Propensity score variables included age, sex, smoking habit, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, insulin therapy, family history of CAD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), prior myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular disease (PVD), admission for NSTEMI, ejection fraction, number of angiographic stenotic vessels. Odds ratios were calculated using generalized linear models (GLM). The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), defined as all-cause death, myocardial infarction and stroke. Secondary endpoints were the individual component of MACCE and any repeated revascularization. Results A total of 538 diabetic patients with MVD were included in the analysis. Among them, 317 (59%) patients underwent CABG and 221 (41%) FFR-guided PCI. Patients treated with FFR-guided PCI had more often COPD as compared to patients in the CABG-group, but patients treated with CABG had lower GFR, more PVD, higher number of angiographic stenotic vessels (2.8±0.4 vs. 2.5±0.5; p<0.01) and higher Syntax score (20±7 vs. 14±6; p<0.01) as compared to the FFR-guided PCI group. Clinical follow-up was obtained in 95% of the patients at a median follow-up of 5 years. The incidence of MACCE was similar in the CABG and in the FFR-guided PCI group [27% vs. 29%; OR (95% CI) 1.05 (0.68–1.63); p=0.74]. No differences were found in the individual components of MACCE. Repeat revascularization was more frequent in the FFR-guided PCI group than in the CABG group [27% vs. 7%; OR (95% CI) 4.3 (2.35–7.9); p<0.01]. Conclusions In diabetic patients with MVD undergoing FFR-guided PCI, no differences in major adverse events were observed at a median follow-up of 5 years compared with CABG.
