“…The significant costs associated with managing medical conditions are well known. The majority of diseases hold the potential to worsen the overall health of patients by limiting their functional capacity, productivity, and health-related quality of life, and are a major contributor to health care expenditures [2][3][4]. Patients with medical conditions face several challenges and often need to modify life aspirations, daily routines, and employment.…”

Background: Positive affect journaling (PAJ), an emotion-focused self-regulation intervention, has been associated with positive outcomes among medical populations. It may be adapted for online dissemination to address a need for scalable, evidence-based psychosocial interventions among distressed patients with medical conditions.Objective: This study examined the impact of a 12-week online PAJ intervention on psychological distress and quality of life in general medical patients.Methods: Seventy adults with various medical conditions were recruited from local clinics and randomly assigned to an online PAJ intervention (n=35) or usual care (n=35). The intervention group completed 15-minute online PAJ sessions on three days each week for 12 weeks. At baseline and the end of months 1 through 3, surveys of psychological, interpersonal, and physical well-being were completed. Results:Patients evidenced moderate sustained adherence to online intervention. PAJ was associated with decreased mental distress (p's≤.045) and increased well-being (p's ≤.046) relative to baseline. PAJ was also associated with less depressive symptoms (p=.047) and anxiety (p=.01) after one month, and greater resilience after the first (p=.044) and second month (p=.01), relative to usual care. Conclusions:Online PAJ may serve as an effective intervention for mitigating mental distress, increasing well-being, and enhancing physical functioning among medical populations. PAJ may be integrated into routine medical care to improve quality of life.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01873599

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of hypertension and diabetes mellitus on depression and suicidal impulse through the total inspection on specific rural areas in Gangwon-do. This survey selected adults over the age of 30 and conducted from May 19 to Sep. 30 in 2014. Of the 1,200 questionnaires distributed, 970 were completed and returned to be used for the study. To figure out the actual condition of hypertension and diabetes among the participants, the research examined the degree of their depression and suicidal impulse. It examined their smoking and exercise habits to check their health conditions. The research showed that patients diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes had a higher tendency of depression and suicidal impulse. The significant variable affecting depression is suicidal impulse(p<0.001>). Also, the significant variables affecting suicidal impulse are hypertension and depression. Based on these results, local health institutions need to include mental health services for the patients with hypertension and diabetes and coordinate them comprehensively and effectively.•
