“…On the other hand, it helps to guide healthy behavior and improve the perception of social support, thus promoting the rehabilitation of the disease. [64] Recent benefit-finding studies have focused on various cancers and diseases with a long-term burden, such as rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. [65,66] Endoscopic screening is already widely performed in China, followed by removing polyps that can interrupt the progression of adenomas to CRC.…”

Screening, followed by colonoscopic polypectomy, has been widely performed in China. However, factors influencing age at onset of colorectal polyps and benefit-finding after polypectomy have been insufficiently studied or ignored. A total of 152 patients with colorectal polyps first detected in First Affiliated Hospital of Huzhou University from July to September 2022 were enrolled in this study. We selected 11 factors associated with the risk of colorectal polyps, including gender, body mass index, occupational stress, education level, income satisfaction, smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise frequency, diet, family history and polyp characteristics. Benefit-finding after polypectomy was obtained by follow-up for 142 of these patients. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that being overweight (i.e., body mass index ≥25 kg/m2), higher education level, lower exercise frequency, and refrigerated food preference were associated with early-onset colorectal polyps. Patients with a preference for pickled food and age ≥50 years at first colorectal polyp detection had lower benefit findings after colonoscopic polypectomy. Colorectal polyps may develop earlier in people who are overweight, well-educated, exercise less, and prefer refrigerated food. In addition, patients who prefer pickled food and age at onset ≥50 years have lower benefit-finding requiring more attention in future colonoscopy follow-ups.

“…Patients who use accept-resignation as the coping strategy might believe that their illness cannot be resolved, and when confronting it, they are unable to take any action, with an increased feeling of helplessness [ 29 ]. Another possible explanation is that acceptance-resignation might put patients in a negative mood in the long run, affect their initiative [ 30 ], thus reduce their positive psychological changes-PTG. Therefore, it is suggested that medical staff strengthen the psychological guidance of adult SLE patients and guide them to adopt positive coping styles to enhance PTG.…”

This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the post-traumatic growth (PTG) level and explores its predictors among adult patients with SLE in China. From April 2020 to April 2021, 135 hospitalized adult SLE patients completed the questionnaire including sociodemographic and disease-related data, Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS). Descriptive analysis, pearson’s correlation analysis, and forward multiple line regression analysis were used for analysis by SPSS 22.0. Results showed that, the mean PTGI score was 57.52 ± 20.82. Pearson correlation analysis showed that, complicated autoimmune hemolytic anemia ( r = − 0.185), CD4 +/CD8 + ( r = − 0.383), acceptance-resignation ( r = − 0.185), poor PSQI ( r = − 0.215), and depression ( r = − 0.322) were negatively associated with total PTGI score; while the relationship with lupus nephritis ( r = 0.247), confrontation ( r = 0.313), avoidance ( r = 0.379), and SSRS ( r = 0.242) were positive (all P < 0.05). The total score of PTGI and its five sub-dimensions were not correlated with anxiety and self-perceived burden. Further, CD4 +/CD8 +, confrontation of MCMQ, and SSRS could explain 30.3% of the variance in total PTGI ( F = 6.646, P < 0.01). In summary, Chinese adults with SLE experience moderate levels of PTG. Clinical nurses need pay attention to the current disease status and individual characteristics of patients, as well as their mental health, to promote their growth experience, so that they can cope with the future life in a better state and coexist well with SLE.

“…In addition, they could enhance a better coping strategy through this group-based intervention. The opportunities to think about how to extend good social support, as well as to improve coping strategy seemed to be effective to strengthen their benefit finding [ 7 , 10 , 33 , 34 ]. The process of benefit finding may be naturally experienced by themselves without any specific intervention as observed in previous studies [ 7 ], because the control group showed slight and gradual progress in benefit finding.…”

“…While benefit finding and personal recovery have similar perspectives, benefit finding is explained as a phenomenon relevant to coping, which can be enhanced in people with chronic illness, such as cancer [ 10 , 11 ]. On the other hand, personal recovery indicates a subjective process of their own lives with mental illness.…”

The Preliminary Efficacy of a Program to Facilitate Benefit Finding for People with Mental Illness: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial in Japan

2022

Benefit finding is a concept that refers to finding positive changes or benefits through negative experiences from stressful life events. The present study aimed to develop a new intervention program to facilitate benefit finding for people with mental illness and examine its feasibility and preliminary efficacy from pilot data. We hypothesized that participants who joined the group-based intervention program would show progress in benefit finding, personal recovery, and well-being, as well as alleviated psychiatric symptoms and functional impairment, compared to participants in the control group. The participants in the intervention group joined in a new program which focuses on (1) cognitive–behavioral stress management and (2) own experiences, including what was found or realized through their lives since the onset of mental illness. The program used a workbook comprised of eight 90-min sessions, with one held every week. Twenty-four were found eligible and provided informed consent to participate in the study. About 46% were males, and the average age was 42.5 years. Around 63% were diagnosed with schizophrenia. We did not find significant differences over time by groups. However, medium to large effects in each scale or at least one subscale (i.e., benefit finding, personal recovery, subjective well-being, and psychiatric symptoms and functional impairment) were observed. Future studies with more participants from various settings would be necessary to exactingly examine the effectiveness of the intervention program.
