“…Finch et al (2013), however, claim that this aspect of functioning does not change after prophylactic surgeries, which is in line with the previous reports of other authors [35,42]. Nevertheless, many studies indicate that women during menopause are prone to depression, which involves the necessity of screening for this health problem [49]. Unfortunately, the psychological state of a patient, which is extremely important for the overall health assessment, is often ignored.…”

The main purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) on the quality of life (QoL) and psychosocial functioning of patients with the BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations. This survey-based study was conducted using the Blatt-Kupperman Index, the Women’s Health Questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory-II, and the authors’ questionnaire. All calculations were done using Statistica 13.3. The QoL after RRSO was statistically significantly lower in most domains compared with the state before surgery. The greatest decline in the QoL was observed in the vasomotor symptoms domain (d = 0.953) and the smallest in the memory/concentration domain (d = 0.167). We observed a statistically significant decrease in the level of anxiety as a state (d = 0.381), as well as a statistically significant increase in the severity of climacteric symptoms (d = 0.315) and depressive symptoms (d = 0.125). Prophylactic surgeries of the reproductive organs have a negative effect on the QoL and psychosocial functioning of women with the BRCA1/2 mutations, as they increase the severity of depressive and climacteric symptoms. At the same time, these surgeries reduce anxiety as a state, which may be associated with the elimination of cancerophobia.

“…Furthermore, depressive symptomatology can be triggered by diverse events, such as hormonal changes (e.g. (Bromberger & Epperson, 2018;Brummelte & Galea, 2016)), stressful and traumatic events (e.g., (Blore, Sim, Forbes, Creamer, & Kelsall, 2015;Heim, Owens, Plotsky, & Nemeroff, 1997), neurological conditions (e.g., (Blaszczyk & Czuczwar, 2016;Das & G, 2018)), or medication (Rogers & Pies, 2008). In all of these conditions, the causal relationships between depressive symptoms, the attitude to touch and interpersonal problems could be different.…”

Highlights • Highly depressed individuals have a more negative attitude towards social touch than non-to lowly depressed individuals. • Highly depressed individuals particularly dislike physical touch by not well-known people, but not by close ones. • Highly depressed individuals report more interpersonal problems, with the level of depression predicting the degree of interpersonal problems. • The relationship between depression and interpersonal problems is partially mediated by the attitude towards social touch in general, and by the dislike of physical touch by people not well-known in particular.

“…The [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] menopausal transition is characterized by an enhanced risk of depression compared to the subsequent years [11,69]. This implies that hormonal fluctuations affect these problems more than the adaptation to a much lower but stable level of hormonal activity [70]. In future studies, it would be interesting to investigate whether hormonal levels correlate with resilience measures.…”

A B S T R A C TThe menopausal transition is a critical phase for psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety, with prevalence rates of depression ranging up to 20% during the menopause. Nevertheless, the majority of women cope adequately with this reproductive transition phase and thus appear to be resilient. We assert that a variety of psychological factors influence the menopausal transition and result in an individual state on a continuum from successful adjustment to maladjustment. The purpose of this review is to offer a conceptual framework of resilience factors during the menopausal transition and to reveal which dimensions of resilience have already been verified for a healthy menopausal transition.We searched the databases PubMed and PsycINFO for studies investigating resilience factors during the menopausal transition which influence psychological and physical adjustment or maladjustment. A total of 23 articles were included.Altogether, we identified 15 different resilience factors, assessed with 23 different questionnaires. These factors can be grouped into six categories: core resilience, spirituality, control, optimism, emotion and selfrelated resilience. They are associated with a better adjustment to menopausal symptoms, milder physical symptoms, a better quality of and satisfaction with life, better well-being, less perceived stress and fewer depressive symptoms compared with women with lower levels of the respective resilience factors.Our conceptual framework includes resilience factors which have already been verified by empirical data. Further research is needed to determine whether these resilience factors can be assigned to a common factor and to incorporate biological resilience markers. already accompanied by various family, social and professional changes
