Trait Neuroticism and the Nocebo Effect
OBJECTIVE: Neuroticism has not only been linked to heightened negative expectations and general somatic complaints but also to increased nocebo responses following medical treatments. Since side-effect expectations are considered a main driver of nocebo responses, we tested whether side-effect expectations mediate the neuroticism-nocebo relationship in a pharmacological study of healthy individuals. METHOD: Participants (N = 275) provided self-re…
Expectations in the Communication About Death and Dying From a Caregiver’s Perspective
Communication about the end-of-life (EOL) is often avoided, despite its association with positive outcomes for those affected and their caregivers. Negative expectations seem to be a mechanism through which avoidance is maintained. This study examined existing expectations in talking about death to a significant other and validated a caregiver's version of the End-of-Life Conversation - Expectation Scale (EOLC-E-c) with a German community sample …
Efficacy of a cognitive-behavioral digital therapeutic on psychosocial outcomes in cancer patients
In this randomized controlled trial, we investigated the efficacy of the digital cognitive behavioral therapy-based program lancivis in improving quality of life (QoL), cancer-related fatigue, distress symptoms and fear of cancer progression in N = 604 cancer patients and survivors in Germany. Participants in the intervention group (IG; n = 304) used lancivis alongside treatment as usual (TAU) while participants in the control group (CG; n = 300)…
Utilization and Evaluation of Ethics Consultation Services in Neonatal Intensive Care
The contradiction between the low utilization despite positive evaluations could be related to perceived hurdles. These and the different perceptions within the professional groups give rise to the consideration of whether alternative approaches, e.g., liaison services, would be preferable in neonatology
Does Educational Status Influence Parents’ Response to Bad News in the Nicu
Communication in neonatal intensive care units and the relationship between families and staff have been reported to influence parental mental well-being. Research has also shown an impact of parental educational level on their well-being. However, whether different educational levels result in different reactions to breaking bad news (BBN) by physicians remains unanswered so far. We therefore examined the impact of parental level of education on…
Prolonged Grief in Times of Lockdown During the Covid-19 Pandemic
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of prolonged grief (PG) during the COVID-19 pandemic and to analyze associated variables. 142 family members of patients who died during the lockdown at a hospital were surveyed 6 months after the death. Prolonged grief, depression and anxiety, grief rumination, and loss-related variables were captured. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to detect the associated variables of PG symptoms. Prolon…
Expectations in the Communication About Death and Dying
End-of-life (EOL) conversations with relatives or significant others are often avoided. One reason can be negative expectations regarding these conversations. The present study was conducted to develop and initially validate the End-of-Life Conversations - Expectations Scale (EOLC-E). An exploratory factor analysis ( N = 307) resulted in a 20-item version with three distinct dimensions: expected own emotional burden (α = .92), expected other pers…
