The relationships between care burden and sleep quality in migrant care workers
Care burden can compromise the sleep quality of migrant care workers (MCW); however, factors that influence this adverse effect remain unknown. This study aims to examine the psychological and behavioral factors that mediate the relationship between care burden and poor sleep quality in MCW in Taiwan. MCW in Taiwan were recruited and interviewed using online computer-assisted data collection system. Care burden was measured based on the total num…
The great recession, neurotic personality, and subjective sleep quality among patients with mood disorders
Previous studies exploring the effects of the business cycle on sleep have mostly focused on the general population, and their results have been inconclusive. This study aimed to explore the effects of the 2008 economic crisis and personality traits on the subjective sleep quality of outpatients with mood disorders. In this cross-sectional study, patients with mood disorders were recruited from two medical centers and a psychiatric hospital. Soci…
The associations between working conditions and subjective sleep quality among female migrant care workers
Background: Subjective sleep quality may reflect the mental well-being of migrant care workers; however, the related occupational factors remain unclear. This study examines the association between the characteristics of care labor and the subjective sleep quality of female migrants. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, Southeast Asian migrant care workers in Taiwan were recruited using convenience sampling. Data on working conditions, includi…
Handgrip strength is associated with mortality in community-dwelling older adults
Poor hand grip strength is an independent risk factor for mid-term mortality among community-dwelling older individuals in Yilan. The assessment of HGS can serve as a valuable tool in identifying older individuals at higher risk of death
The Influence of Research Follow-Up during Covid-19 Pandemic on Mental Distress and Resilience
Background: During the COVID-19 outbreak, patients with mental disorders have faced more negative psychological consequences than the public. For people with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), it is unclear whether research engagement would protect them from the deterioration of their symptoms. The study aimed to examine if chronic depressive patients would have improved resilience and mental distress levels after follow-up interviews during a…
Volunteering and self-reported health outcomes among older people living in the community
Validation of Global Self-Rated Health and Happiness Measures Among Older People in the Yilan Study, Taiwan
Background: Single-item measures of physical and mental health are feasible for older adults, but their validity for that age group is unclear. This study tested validity of a global self-rated health and a global self-rated happiness measure in a large sample of community-dwelling older adults in Taiwan. Methods: A cross-sectional sample of 3,982 men and women aged 65 or older in Yilan, Taiwan, provided data on global self-rated health and happi…
The Association Between the Sedative Loads and Clinical Severity Indicators in the First-Onset Major Depressive Disorder
Background: High sedative use in a major depressive episode may imply specific clinical features. This study aims to examine the correlation between sedative use and clinical severity indicators in the initial treatment phase of first-onset major depressive disorder. Methods: A study cohort in the first episode of major depressive disorder was used to conduct pharmacological dissection. All participants had at least a 2-year follow-up period with…
Transcriptome Changes in Relation to Manic Episode
Bipolar disorder (BD) is highly heritable and well known for its recurrent manic and depressive episodes. The present study focused on manic episode in BD patients and aimed to investigate state-specific transcriptome alterations between acute episode and remission, including messenger RNAs (mRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and micro-RNAs (miRNAs), using microarray and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) platforms. BD patients were enrolled with clini…
Analysis of the Influence of microRNAs in Lithium Response in Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a common, highly heritable neuropsychiatric disease characterized by recurrent episodes of mania and depression. Lithium is the best-established long-term treatment for BD, even though individual response is highly variable. Evidence suggests that some of this variability has a genetic basis. This is supported by the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) of lithium response to date conducted by the International Co…
Associations between Body Mass Index and Subjective Health Outcomes among Older Adults
Previous findings on the associations between body mass index (BMI) and subjective health outcomes among older adults are inconsistent. The aims of this study were to explore the associations of BMI with health-related quality of life (HRQoL), self-rated health (SRH) and happiness among older adults. This study was part of the Yilan study, which was a community-based survey conducted in the Yilan city in Taiwan. A total of 3722 older adults were …
