“…The contextual discrepancy between T1 and T2 was another aspect contributing to the selection of the VAS scales only for the onemonth telephonic administration. Based on past studies showing a strong correlation between psychological inflexibility and functional variables, we assumed a pattern of interdependent relationships between cognitive fusion, experiential avoidance, dysfunctional behaviors, perceived pain and emotional disorders, especially given the post-pandemic context [90].

Background and Objectives: Defined by chronic pain, rheumatic diseases are often co-occurring with anxiety and depression. Among the available psychological interventions, cognitive-behavioral therapies have an already-proven efficiency in these cases. However, the need to adjust their structure became ubiquitous during the post-pandemic period. Hence, the objective of this study was to investigate the impact of a single-session, process-based cognitive-behavioral intervention for patients with rheumatic conditions within an in-patient setting. Materials and Methods: A total of 31 participants (mean age 58.9 years) completed the single-session intervention. Assessments were conducted prior to the intervention, post-intervention and after one month. Results: Pearson’s correlations, paired samples T tests and a covariance analysis based on the Linear Mixed Model were performed for exploring the relations between baseline variables and evaluating the impact of the SSI intervention. Immediately after the intervention, a significant reduction in cognitive fusion (p = 0.001, d = 1.78), experiential avoidance (p = 0.001, d = 1.4) and dysfunctional behavioral processes was observed. At the one-month evaluation, participants reported decreased pain (p = 0.001, d = 1.11), anxiety (p = 0.004, d = 0.55) and depression (p = 0.001, d = 0.72). Conclusions: The single-session, process-based approach represents a promising intervention in healthcare contexts, as an integrative part of a multimodal rehabilitation treatment in patients with rheumatic conditions.

The challenges of parental cancer while caring for young offspring are often neglected by researchers and healthcare providers. Focusing on parents with cancer, this cross-sectional study examines the mediating and moderating roles of a malleable risk factor, psychological inflexibility, in the relationships between perceived illness severity and parental quality of life (QoL) and family outcomes. Psychological inflexibility was conceptualized using the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) framework. A total of 86 parents with cancer caring for young offspring (aged 11–24 years; M = 17.94, SD = 3.68) completed a survey that assessed psychological inflexibility, parental mental and physical health QoL, family outcomes (family functioning, parenting concerns, and openness to discuss cancer), socio-demographics, and illness variables. Mediation analyses indicated that higher perceived illness severity was associated with higher levels of psychological inflexibility, which in turn were related to higher detrimental impacts on parental QoL and family outcomes. Results of moderation analyses were non-significant. Findings highlight the detrimental impacts of illness severity on psychological inflexibility, suggesting that it is a psychosocial risk factor in parents dealing with cancer. ACT-based interventions which foster psychological flexibility are likely to enhance parental QoL and family outcomes.

Background In the nursing workforce, operating room(OR) nurses are at high risk for psychological issues due to the unique challenges of their work environment. Psychological flexibility(PF), as a protective element of mental health, is important for promoting the acceptance and adjustment of nurses. This study used the latent profile analysis(LPA) to identify latent profiles of PF among OR nurses and further explored the associated influencing factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 403 operating room nurses in Southwest China from November 2023 to April 2024 (effective rate of 91.18%). PF was measured by the Simplified Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory(MPFI-24), social support was measured by the Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS), and coping style was measured by the Trait Coping Style Questionnaire(TCSQ). We used LPA by Mplus.8.3 to identify latent profiles of PF. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the factors relevant to the different profiles. Results The PF of OR nurses can be identified into 4 groups: high PF group(14.1%), medium PF group-high engagement type(33.7%), lower-middle PF group(32.6%), low PF goup(19.6%). Gender, birthplace, whether you like the OR nursing, social support scores, and coping styles scores can be the predictors of PF among different profiles. Conclusions Our findings identified 4 latent profiles of PF among OR nurses, showing the heterogeneity of PF among nurses in the OR. Gender, birthplace, whether you like the operating room nursing, social support scores and coping styles scores can predict the latent profile of OR nurses. Our findings may can provide reference for the development of targeted interventional strategies to improve PF of OR nurses.
