Affairs of the heart
Background: Cardiovascular diseases pose a challenge for patients, partners, and medical staff. This study aimed to explore how patient activation relates to partner reactions (pessimistic illness perception, overprotection, hostility, support for patient activation, dyadic stress appraisal, and common dyadic coping), as well as relationships with the healthcare team (clarity of information, satisfaction with medical staff, partner-doctor relatio…
Perceived risk, illness perception and dispositional optimism related to Covid-19 among oncologic outpatients undergoing in-hospital treatments and healthy controls
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore risk estimations (perceived risk, dispositional optimism) related to COVID-19 perception and distress in oncologic outpatients undergoing active hospital treatments compared to the general population. DESIGN AND MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Data were collected during the Italian lockdown on 150 oncologic outpatients and a sample of 150 healthy subjects. They completed a battery of questionnaires including the Perc…
Prevalence of Psychopathological Symptoms and Their Determinants in Four Healthcare Workers’ Categories during the Second Year of Covid-19 Pandemic
Highly stressful situations, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, induce constant changes in the mental state of people who experience them. In the present study, we analyzed the prevalence of some psychological symptoms and their determinants in four different categories of healthcare workers during the second year of the pandemic. A total of 265 physicians, 176 nurses, 184 other healthcare professionals, and 48 administrative employees, worki…
Examination of the best cut-off points of PHQ-2 and GAD-2 for detecting depression and anxiety in Italian cardiovascular inpatients
OBJECTIVE: Despite the frequent association between anxiety, depression and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cardiovascular inpatients are not usually screened for these psychopathological conditions. To fill this gap, especially in hospital environments, there is the need of brief screening instruments that provide reliable information in a very short time. According to this need, the aim of this study was to examine the best cut-off points of two…
Genetic Testing Consumers in Italy
Aim of the study: Genetic testing is increasingly common in clinical practice and health management; nonetheless, still little is known about how the population approaches genetic services through private companies. Our study aims at describing socio-demographic aspects, health-related habits and overall beliefs and knowledge about genetic risk and testing in a population of Italian citizens who decided to undergo a genetic examination through th…
Spontaneous Participation in Secondary Prevention Programs
Disease prevention is a multifaceted construct that has been widely studied. Nevertheless, in spite of its importance, it is still not sufficiently considered by the general population. Since the reasons for this lack of consideration are not yet fully understood, we created an Online Prevention Survey (OPS) to investigate the role of both sociodemographic and psychological factors in predicting individuals' spontaneous participation in secondary…
Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms Screening in Cardiac Inpatients
Despite the fact that American Heart Association (AHA) recommended a systematic screening for depression in cardiovascular inpatients, poor attention has been given to this issue. Furthermore, no specific guidelines exist for anxiety screening in cardiovascular inpatients. Thus, the aims of this study were to verify the feasibility of a depressive and anxiety symptoms screening protocol in an Italian hospital specializing in cardiovascular diseas…
Mathematical Problem-Solving Abilities and Chess
Chess is thought to be a game demanding high cognitive abilities to be played well. Although many studies proved the link between mastery in chess and high degree of intelligence, just few studies proved that chess practice can enhance cognitive abilities. Starting from these considerations, the main purpose of the present research was to investigate the potential benefits of in-presence chess lessons and on-line training on mathematical problem-…
