“…The factors previously determined were confirmed, which allows assessing the practical significance of the results, that is, key variables were identified, which, in this case, are the dimensions (Hair et al, 2009). Data analysis showed that items 3, 16, 21, and 26 loaded on two factors: 1 and 4, 3 and 4, 1 and 3, 1 and 2, respectively, reflecting a conceptual approximation and an interaction between theoretical constructs (psychological conditions) and common points, namely between somatic symptoms and anxiety, between social dysfunction and somatic symptoms, between anxiety and social dysfunction and, finally, between depression and anxiety, which is in line with the literature (Lu et al, 2019). We know that they are symptoms or expressions of individuals' mental state that overlap and influence each other, even because their objective and subjective indicators are often similar.…”

Background: The psychometric properties of measurement instruments should be assessed in different populations. Objective: To analyze the psychometric properties of the 28-Item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) in nurses. Methodology: Methodological validation study of measurement instruments. Analysis of psychometric properties, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) by the principal component analysis method, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, with a nonprobability sample of 1,264 nurses. Results: EFA suggests keeping four factors and deleting four items in 3 dimensions (items 3, 16, 21, and 26). The variance explained by the 4 factors was 61.5%, and Cronbach's alpha was 0.93. The general health scores did not change significantly after deleting the 4 items. The comparison between the 24-item version and the 28-item version revealed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.996 (p < 0.001) and a cutoff point of 20.5, with a 96.3% sensitivity and a 98.4 specificity. Conclusion:The reassessment of the psychometric properties of GHQ-28 in nurses suggests a reduction to 24 items.

“…In our study, social network, loneliness and depressive symptoms partially mediated the association of VI only, HI only and DSI with QoL, with depressive symptoms having the strongest mediation effect. Depressive symptoms similarly have been reported as a mediator between other non‐sensory‐impairment variables and QoL previously 29 . Our results suggest that efforts to improve the QoL of older adults with VI and HI should consider inclusion of interventions that address these psychosocial factors.…”

“…Depressive symptoms similarly have been reported as a mediator between other non-sensory-impairment variables and QoL previously. 29 Our results suggest that efforts to improve the QoL of older adults with VI and HI should consider inclusion of interventions that address these psychosocial factors. For older adults with progressive or irreversible VI and HI, regular monitoring and prompt referrals to relevant social services or further assessments of their psychosocial status may be beneficial.…”

Aim: Vision impairment (VI) and hearing impairment (HI), alone or in combination (dual sensory impairment [DSI]), are common in older adults. We determined (i) the association of vision and hearing, and of VI only, HI only and DSI, with three psychosocial variables (social network, loneliness, depressive symptoms) and with quality of life (QoL), and (ii) whether the considered psychosocial variables mediate the association of VI only, HI only and DSI with QoL among older adults.Methods: Cross-sectional survey data for 4077 older adults (≥60 years) from Singapore were analyzed. Those with self-reported fair or poor vision and hearing were considered to have an impairment in that sense. Standard scales were used to assess the psychosocial variables and QoL. Regression and mediation models were used.Results: Those with fair and poor vs. good, vision and hearing generally had poorer psychosocial outcomes and lower QoL. VI only, HI only and DSI were all associated with lower social network, more depressive symptoms and lower QoL. VI only and DSI were associated with more loneliness. Social network, loneliness and depressive symptoms partially mediated the association of VI only, HI only and DSI with QoL, with depressive symptoms being the strongest mediator.Conclusions: VI and HI, particularly in combination, are associated with poorer psychosocial status and QoL among older adults. Older adults with VI or HI should be screened for depressive symptoms and social risks. Improving social network, loneliness and depressive symptoms among older adults with sensory impairments may enhance their QoL. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2022; 22: 56-62.

“…The molecular neurobiology of chronic pain induces depression and anxiety [ 58 ]. Neuropathic pain and its duration positively corelates with the intensity of mood disorders and has a negative association with quality of life, despite the level of pain intensity [ 13 , 59 , 60 ].…”

Depression, anxiety, and aggression accompany neuropathic pain. Effective treatment of these comorbidities enhances the outcomes of pain management. Therefore, the study was designed to analyze the relationship between the intensity of depression, anxiety, and aggression and the pharmacotherapy applied in the daily practice of treating neuropathic pain. The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency of using antidepressants (ADs), benzodiazepine anxiolytics (BDAs), and hypnotics, and the influence of administering these on the intensity of depression, anxiety, and aggression in patients diagnosed with neuropathic pain. A multi-center survey was conducted among 421 patients. An evaluation of the severity of depression, anxiety, and aggression was made using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale—Modified Version (HADS-M). Among the patients treated due to neuropathic pain, ADs are used much more often than BDAs and hypnotics. Depression was well controlled, while anxiety was identified as a possible uncontrolled therapeutic problem in these patients, despite the correlation between the frequency of AD and hypnotics usage and the severity of anxiety. We also found that women show a higher level of intensity in both anxiety and depression, but this does not influence the frequency of their being administered ADs, BDAs, and hypnotics.
