Changes over time in self-efficacy to cope with cancer and well-being in women with breast cancer
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine whether self-efficacy to cope with cancer changes over time in patients with breast cancer and whether these potential changes are similar across patients. It also aimed to examine whether these trajectories are related to patient psychological well-being and overall quality of life. METHODS: = 404) from four countries (i.e. Finland, Israel, Italy, and Portugal) were enrolled in the study few weeks after bre…
Challenges in the early detection of patients with psychotic spectrum disorder or bipolar disorder in rural Grete/Greece
Background: Early detection and intervention are considered important determinants of long-term outcomes of severe mental disorders. Preliminary evidence has shown that in Crete/Greece in rural areas there is a significant delay in seeking mental health care for patients with psychosis or bipolar disorder. Aims/objectives: The primary aim of this study is to examine: the mean age and percentage of involuntary admissions of patients with psychotic…
Early maladaptive schema domains and suicide risk in major depressive disorder
Early maladaptive schemas (EMS), illness representations, and coping are associated with clinical outcomes of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the pathways that link these factors are largely unknown. The present prospective study aimed at investigating the possible mediating role of illness representations and coping in the associations among schema domains, symptom severity, and suicide risk in MDD. Participants were 135 …
Spelling development of children with and without reading difficulties throughout elementary grades
The relation of partners’ illness representations to the coping behaviors of patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases through patients’ illness representation
The relationship between dissociation and acute pain
The mutual determination of self-efficacy to cope with cancer and cancer-related coping over time
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the longitudinal impact of self-efficacy to cope with cancer on the cancer-related coping reactions of breast cancer patients and vice versa. DESIGN AND MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: = 403) were enrolled in the study a few weeks after surgery or biopsy. Coping self-efficacy was assessed at baseline and six months later (M6). Cancer-related coping was assessed three (M3) and nine months (M9) after baseline…
Changing memories by interference
Episodes with an emotional component preoccupy memory formation and this advantage facilitates their preservation and mitigates the impact of interfering episodes. The present study examined the relation of the emotional dimensions of original and interfering episodes to the memory outcome, using a reconsolidation paradigm. In a between-subjects design, 102 healthy young adults were presented with an emotional or neutral image and learned either …
Emotion regulation contributes to the well-being of patients with autoimmune diseases through illness-related emotions
This prospective study aimed to examine whether illness-related negative emotions mediate the relationship of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression to the well-being of 99 patients with rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis. After adjusting for disease and patient-related parameters, only cognitive reappraisal was associated with physical and psychological well-being through emotions. Expressive suppression was associated with psy…
The impact of mild cognitive impairment on the self-regulation process
This study examined whether mild cognitive impairment affects the associations between personal expectations (i.e. optimism and self-efficacy), illness-related coping, and quality of life. In total, two groups of older adults participated: 127 persons diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment and 225 cognitively healthy older persons (cognitively non-impaired group). Several significant relationships observed in the cognitively non-impaired group …
Patient and partner dispositional optimism as a long-term predictor of illness representations in autoimmune diseases
We examined whether the dispositional optimism of patients suffering from an autoimmune disease as well as of their partners can predict, at a dyadic level, their representations of illness consequences, and personal and treatment control, assessed 1 year later. Patient optimism predicted several patient and partner illness representations. Partner optimism was unrelated to own or patient illness representations. Results highlight the strong long…
Using Structural Equation Modeling to Assess Functional Connectivity in the Brain
The present study assessed the impact of sample size on the power and fit of structural equation modeling applied to functional brain connectivity hypotheses. The data consisted of time-constrained minimum norm estimates of regional brain activity during performance of a reading task obtained with magnetoencephalography. Power analysis was first conducted for an autoregressive model with 5 latent variables (brain regions), each defined by 3 indic…
