Evaluation of the Health‐Related Quality of Life and Mental Health of Parents With Children and Adolescents With a Rare Disease Based on the Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial to Investigate a F…
Parents caring for children with rare diseases are more impaired regarding health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) and mental health than healthy controls and norm data. To address the research gap in psychological care for these parents, this study evaluates the effectiveness of two family‐based interventions. The children affected by rare disease and their families network (CARE‐FAM‐NET) study is a multicenter randomized controlled 2 × 2 factori…
Families with Mentally Ill Parents and Their Partners
Partners in families with a mentally ill parent often experience psychiatric symptoms themselves. Recent studies indicate that there might be overlaps in disorder-specific symptom areas between partners and spouses. This study aimed at examining associations in psychiatric symptoms and symptom coping in partners in families with a mentally ill parent, e.g., having a psychiatric diagnosis according to the International Classification of Diseases (…
Clinical Trial Data
Children of mentally ill parents represent a particularly vulnerable risk group for the development of mental illness. This study examines whether there is a predictive association between children's psychiatric symptomatology and (1) the clinical diagnosis according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) of their mentally ill parent as well as (2) to families both parents showing psychiat…
Risk and Protective Factors Associated With Health-Related Quality of Life of Parents With Mental Illness
Purpose: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) can be reduced in parents with mental illness (mental illness) who face the dual demands of disabling symptoms and their impact on family, social, and occupational life. This study aimed at analyzing the influence of various factors on HRQoL in parents with mental illness. Method: Baseline data of the German randomized controlled multicenter project CHIMPS (children of parents with mental illness) w…
Parents With Mental Illness
The relevance of coping behavior for the individual's own mental health has been widely investigated. However, research on the association between coping of parents with a mental illness and their children's mental health is scarce. In the current study, we address the role of several parental coping strategies and their relation to child psychological symptoms. As part of the German randomized controlled multicenter study CHIMPS (children of men…
Family Functioning in Families Affected by Parental Mental Illness
Family functioning is often impaired in families with a parent with mental illness and is linked to child mental health. This study aims to gain a better understanding of family functioning in affected families by comparing ratings among family members and by analyzing associations with clinician-rated family functioning. The cross-sectional sample comprised 210 families with ratings of 207 patients, 139 partners, and 100 children. Parents with a…
Children of Parents with a Mental Illness
(1) Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is frequently reduced in children of parents with a mental illness (COPMI). Child self- and parent proxy-ratings vary with raters' characteristics and facets of HRQoL. This study aimed at analyzing risk and protective factors associated with HRQoL in COPMI, and at examining the magnitude, direction, and predictors of child-parent agreement. (2) Methods: Analyses were based on baseline data of…
Effects of Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) Related Contact Restrictions in Germany, March to May 2020, on the Mobility and Relation to Infection Patterns
In an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, Germany has gradually implemented mobility restrictions culminating in a partial lockdown and contact restrictions on 22 March. The easing of the restrictions began 1 month later, on 20 April. Analysis of the consequences of these measures for mobility and infection incidence is of public health interest. A dynamic cohort of about 2,000 individuals in Germany aged 16-89 years provided individual inf…
Effectiveness of a Stepped, Collaborative, and Coordinated Health Care Network for Somatoform Disorders (Sofu-Net)
OBJECTIVE: Stepped, collaborative, and coordinated approaches have been proposed as the optimal treatment strategy for somatic symptom and related disorders, but evidence supporting this strategy is lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a guideline-based health care network for patients who are at high risk of somatoform disorder (Sofu-Net). METHODS: In a controlled, prospective, observer-blinded cluster cohort study, …
Social inequalities in patient-reported outcomes among older multimorbid patients – results of the MultiCare cohort study
Results indicate social inequalities in self-rated health, functional status and health related quality of life among older multimorbid patients. As associations with education and occupational position were inconsistent, these inequalities were mainly due to income. Inequalities were partly explained by burden of disease. However, even among patients with a similar disease burden, those with a low income were worse off in terms of the three pati…
Which chronic diseases and disease combinations are specific to multimorbidity in the elderly? Results of a claims data based cross-sectional study in Germany
The above list of dominating chronic conditions and their combinations could present a pragmatic start for the development of needed guidelines related to multimorbidity
P2-204 Association of body mass index and health-related quality of life in high-risk cardiovascular patients
Introduction Apart from clinical events, health-related quality (HRQoL) is an important outcome in high-risk cardiovascular patients. As body mass index has been associated with clinical events (“obesity paradox”), we investigated the relationship between body mass index and health-related quality of life. Methods Patients were included with hypercholesterolaemia and an indication for statin therapy in 1961 primary care practices. HRQoL was asses…
Management of high-risk patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy in Germany
Inpatients had a higher rate of comorbidities and more advanced atherosclerotic disease than outpatients. Control of hypertension of inpatients was already better on admission than in outpatients, and treatment intensity in this group was also higher during the observation period. While blood pressure lowering was substantial in both groups, there were still a high proportion of patients who did not achieve treatment goals at discharge
