“…Initial systematic searching yielded 2,227 records, plus three records identified through Google Scholar during the scoping review and feasibility stage, before the formal database search commenced. Following the PRISMA screening process guidelines [39], 10 studies remained for inclusion in the systematic review [46,[55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63], comprising 1,832 participants (Fig 1). All 10 studies were also suitable for meta-analysis; some studies did not record data for all variables we wished to extract (e.g., length of stay; see Table 2).…”

“…Studies were conducted in the following countries: four in the United States [46,55,58,61], two in Australia [62,63], one in Greece [59], one in India [57], one in Iran [56], and one in Turkey [60]. Studies were of varied design: four cross-sectional [55,56,59,60], three cohort [46,62,63], one cohort analytic [58], one controlled clinical trial [57], and one randomised controlled trial [61]. All studies used convenience sampling, recruiting sample sizes of 91 to 535 across nine cohorts.…”

“…However, one effect size was identified as an influential outlier, disproportionately influencing heterogeneity [74], and so was excluded from the remainder of the meta-analysis. The outlier was identified as quality of life in the study by Chalageri and colleagues [57], which was a near-perfect correlation (r = 0.84). We suspect that this is due to the two correlated measures quantifying similar constructs.…”

Background Hospital inpatients are exposed to high levels of stress during hospitalisation that may increase susceptibility to major adverse health events post-hospitalisation (known as post-hospital syndrome). However, the existing evidence base has not been reviewed and the magnitude of this relationship remains unknown. Therefore, the aim of the current systematic review and meta-analysis was to: 1) synthesise existing evidence and to determine the strength of the relationship between in-hospital stress and patient outcomes, and 2) determine if this relationship differs between (i) in-hospital vs post-hospital outcomes, and (ii) subjective vs objective outcome measures. Methods A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, CINAHL, and Web of Science from inception to February 2023 was conducted. Included studies reported a measure of perceived and appraised stress while in hospital, and at least one patient outcome. A random-effects model was generated to pool correlations (Pearson’s r), followed by sub-group and sensitivity analyses. The study protocol was preregistered on PROSPERO (CRD42021237017). Results A total of 10 studies, comprising 16 effects and 1,832 patients, satisfied the eligibility criteria and were included. A small-to-medium association was found: as in-hospital stress increased, patient outcomes deteriorated (r = 0.19; 95% CI: 0.12–0.26; I2 = 63.6; p < 0.001). This association was significantly stronger for (i) in-hospital versus post-hospital outcomes, and (ii) subjective versus objective outcome measures. Sensitivity analyses indicated that our findings were robust. Conclusions Higher levels of psychological stress experienced by hospital inpatients are associated with poorer patient outcomes. However, more high-quality, larger scale studies are required to better understand the association between in-hospital stressors and adverse outcomes.

“…This attention likely obscures awareness of the full spectrum of experience in the present moment, negatively affecting QOL. Increasing mindfulness has been found to reduce pain and mitigate the effect of pain on health outcomes (Chalageri et al, 2021; Hearn & Cross, 2020).…”

“…Mindfulness allows individuals to self‐regulate thoughts and activities and choose behaviors that align well with their psychological needs, values, and interests (Brown & Ryan, 2003). Mindfulness or mindfulness‐based interventions are promising in reducing anxiety and depression and improving adaptation outcomes (e.g., QOL) in persons with chronic conditions, including SCI (Brown & Ryan, 2003; Chalageri et al, 2021; Hearn & Cross, 2020).…”

ObjectiveTo identify mediating roles of mindfulness, self‐efficacy, social support, and functional independence in the relationship between pain and quality of life (QOL) in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI).MethodsA cross‐sectional descriptive study was conducted using a sample of 272 persons with SCI living in the United States. The participants completed self‐report standardized questionnaires on a Qualtrics survey. A parallel mediation analysis adjusting for covariates was performed to test the hypotheses.ResultsFindings showed significant direct effects of pain on functional independence, self‐efficacy, mindfulness, and social support. Self‐efficacy, mindfulness, and social support had significant direct effects on QOL. In the mediation analysis, mindfulness, self‐efficacy, and social support significantly mediated the relationship between pain and QOL, controlling for other variables in the model.ConclusionsThis study adds to the extant literature by providing evidence that mindfulness, self‐efficacy, and social support not only directly contribute to QOL but are likely to mitigate the negative effect of pain on QOL in persons with SCI. Identifying these potential factors that can assuage the adverse effects of pain on QOL is a first step toward active intervention to facilitate the adjustment of persons with SCI.
