“…Given the originality of the present research, it is not possible to compare these results with those that could be obtained in other groups of patients undergoing CABG or other cardiac surgeries. Some studies have investigated the relationship of preoperative anxiety and depression symptoms of patients undergoing cardiac surgeries with complications and PO mortality, but the PO period varied widely among the studies, in addition to the lack of consensus on the best or more indicated tool to evaluate the symptoms of anxiety and depression ( 11 - 14 ) .…”

“…In international studies, researchers investigated the association between preoperative anxiety and depression symptoms with PO complications, with a focus on mortality up to 30 days after surgery ( 11 - 14 ) . In the present study, we chose to investigate the presence of complications and death in the PO period, during the patients’ stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).…”

Objective to investigate the associations of preoperative anxiety and depression symptoms with postoperative complications and with sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients submitted to the first coronary artery bypass graft.Method observational, analytical and longitudinal study. A consecutive non-probabilistic sample consisted of patients submitted to coronary artery bypass graft. To evaluate the symptoms, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used. tracheal intubation for more than 48 hours, hemodynamic instability, sensorineural deficit, agitation, hyperglycemia, infection, nausea, vomiting, pain and death were classified as complications. The Mann-Whitney and Spearman Correlation tests were used, with a significance level of 0.05.Results a total of 75 patients participated. The group that presented hemodynamic instability in the postoperative period had a greater median for the anxiety symptoms (p = 0.012), as well as the women (p = 0.028). The median of the depression symptoms was higher in the group presenting nausea (p = 0.002), agitation (p <0.001), tracheal intubation for more than 48 hours (p = 0.018) and sensorineural deficit (p = 0.016).Conclusion there was association of the symptoms of preoperative anxiety with hemodynamic instability in the postoperative period and with the female gender, as well as association of depression symptoms with the following complications: nausea, agitation, time of intubation in the postoperative period and sensorineural deficit.

“…This may be related to Japanese circumstances surrounding patients with eating disorders and their families. At present, both in-patient and outpatient treatment facilities for eating disorders are quite insufficient [ 33 ] and day-patient treatments are rarely available for eating disorders. Therefore, it is not rare that patients stay home almost all day and their families have to take care of the patients for long hours that may lead to their mental exhaustion.…”

BackgroundThere are no studies about the caregiving burdens in families of patients with eating disorders in Japan, and only limited studies on the role of caregivers’ stress coping, social support, and mental health. This study examines caregiving burdens, mental health conditions, and associated factors in caregivers of anorexia nervosa (AN) patients in Japan.MethodsSeventy-nine principal caregivers (70 mothers, 5 fathers, 3 spouses and 1 grandmother; mean age 56.0 ± 8.0 years) for outpatients with AN (all female; mean age 26.6 ± 7.9 years; BMI 14.6 ± 3.2 kg/m2) were evaluated using self-report questionnaires in a cross-sectional study. The questionnaires included caregiving burden (J-ZBI_8), mental health conditions (GHQ28), stress coping styles (CISS), social support (SNQ), severity of the patient’s symptoms from the family’s perspective (ABOS), and family functioning (GF-FAD). Clinical information about the patients was also obtained.ResultsMean caregiving burden assessed by J-ZBI_8 score was 12.4 ± 7.0 (SD). The total GHQ score was 31.6 ± 13.7 (Likert scoring) and 9.2 ± 7.0 (GHQ scoring). Of the respondents, 48 (60.7 %) indicated a high risk for mental health problems that exceeded the cutoff point of the GHQ. Significantly higher caregiving burden and poor mental health conditions were shown in the group who had contact with patients > 6 h a day compared to the group with daily patient contact < 3 h (F (2, 76) = 3.19, p = 0.047 and F (2, 76) = 9.39, p < 0.001, respectively). Stepwise multiple regression analysis indicated that the factors that significantly predicted the caregiving burden were severity of the patient’s symptoms from the family’s perspective (β = 0.47, p < 0.001) and Emotion-Oriented Coping (β = 0.38, p = 0.002) (R2 = 0.401), while predictors of mental health conditions were Emotion-Oriented Coping (β = 0.522, p < 0.001), Affective Support (β = −0.419, p < 0.001), and contact time with patient (β = 0.201, p = 0.042) (R2 = 0.602).ConclusionCaregivers of AN patients experienced heavy burdens and manifested poor mental health conditions. The severity of the patient’s symptoms from the family’s perspective and the greater use of emotion-oriented coping were associated with higher burdens. Greater use of emotion-oriented coping, less affective support and longer contact with patients were related to worse mental health conditions. Interventions to promote caregivers’ adaptive coping styles may help reduce their caregiving burden and improve their mental health.

“…In their attempts to control childhood asthma, parents engage in a variety of asthma management activities, including compliance with medical treatments [ 7 ], monitoring their child’s asthma symptoms, and coordinating family routines to avoid environmental triggers [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Generally, when compared with parents of healthy children, parents of children with asthma experience a greater level of stress [ 11 ], anxiety, and depressive symptoms [ 12 ].…”

Background: Many parents have difficulty managing childhood asthma. In Hong Kong (HK), while medication is the primary form of treatment, traditional Chinese medicine is another favored option. In addition, HK follows a dual-track healthcare system, which may pose unique experiences for Chinese parents in managing childhood asthma. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to explore the experiences of HK Chinese parents in caring for their children with asthma. Methods: Fourteen HK Chinese mothers of children (aged 3–10) suffering from asthma were purposively sampled to participate in individual, semi-structured interviews. A realist approach following conventional content analysis was used to interpret the interviews. Results: The mothers expressed feelings of uncertainty, fear of asthma crises, and searched for ways to cope. As long as their child’s asthma symptoms recurred, the mothers’ distress continued. Their distress was sometimes exacerbated by self-doubt and worries over whether they would receive adequate support from their family and healthcare professionals. Conclusions: Helping parents to understand their limits may help them be more open to varied aspects of their caregiving experiences, and thus to cope better. Psychological interventions together with traditional educational training may help to alleviate the psychological difficulties of parents.
