Cancer survival stories
BACKGROUND: Cancer patients often search for information about their health conditions online. Cancer patient narratives have established themselves as a way of providing information and education but also as an effective approach to improving coping with the disease. OBJECTIVE: We investigated how people affected by cancer perceive cancer patient narratives and whether such stories can potentially improve coping during their own cancer journeys.…
Effect of Early Psychological Counseling for the Prevention of Posttraumatic Stress Induced by Acute Coronary Syndrome at Long-Term Follow-Up
No benefits were found for trauma-focused counseling after 12 months when compared with an active control intervention. PTSD prevalence in the present study was low highlighting a potential beneficial effect of both interventions. Further studies are needed to determine the most accurate approach of counseling
Elena+ Care for Covid-19, a Pandemic Lifestyle Care Intervention
Background: The current COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is an emergency on a global scale, with huge swathes of the population required to remain indoors for prolonged periods to tackle the virus. In this new context, individuals' health-promoting routines are under greater strain, contributing to poorer mental and physical health. Additionally, individuals are required to keep up to date with latest health guidelines about the virus, which may be …
Course, Moderators, and Predictors of Acute Coronary Syndrome-Induced Post-traumatic Stress
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) induce post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in one out of eight patients. Effects of preventive interventions, the course and potential moderators of ACS-induced PTSS are vastly understudied. This study explored whether a preventive behavioral intervention leads to a decrease in myocardial infarction (MI)-induced PTSS between two follow-up assessments. Sociodemographic, clinical and psychological factors were addit…
Psychiatric Disorders in Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons After Forced Displacement
Loneliness is adversely associated with physical and mental health and lifestyle factors
INTRODUCTION: Loneliness is a common, emotionally distressing experience and is associated with adverse physical and mental health and an unhealthy lifestyle. Nevertheless, little is known about the prevalence of loneliness in different age groups in Switzerland. Furthermore, the existing evidence about age and gender as potential effect modifiers of the associations between loneliness, physical and mental health and lifestyle characteristics war…
Association of Trait Resilience With Peritraumatic and Posttraumatic Stress in Patients With Myocardial Infarction
OBJECTIVE: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a life-threatening condition, leading to immediate fear and distress in many patients. Approximately 18% of patients develop posttraumatic stress disorder in the aftermath of MI. Trait resilience has shown to be a protective factor for the development of posttraumatic stress disorder. However, whether this buffering effect has already an impact on peritraumatic distress and applies to patients with M…
Social relationship correlates of major depressive disorder and depressive symptoms in Switzerland
Perceived quality and frequency of social relationships are associated with clinical depression and depressive symptoms across a wide adult age spectrum. This study extends prior work linking loneliness to depression by showing that a broad range of social relationship domains are associated with psychological well-being
Lack of Social Support in the Etiology and the Prognosis of Coronary Heart Disease
From Text to Codings
BACKGROUND: High intercoder reliability (ICR) is required in qualitative content analysis for assuring quality when more than one coder is involved in data analysis. The literature is short of standardized procedures for ICR procedures in qualitative content analysis. OBJECTIVE: To illustrate how ICR assessment can be used to improve codings in qualitative content analysis. METHODS: Key steps of the procedure are presented, drawing on data from a…
Variations in subjective breast cancer risk estimations when using different measurements for assessing breast cancer risk perception
Objective: To investigate whether different measurements for breast cancer risk perception can lead to variations in breast cancer risk estimations and to different conclusions about risk accuracy. Methods: Women with no history of breast cancer (N = 377) estimated their breast cancer risk on four different scales (percentage scale, visual analogue scale, 7-point scale, comparative scale). We examined the associations between the risk estimations…
