“…Evidence-based strategies for further consideration with this sample might be health coaching with positive effects on behavior, psychological conditions, and social life reported in a systematic review of 13 studies, 26 and strategies to transition to community led programs such as walking groups to improve vitality 27 which may in turn prevent social isolation. 28 Women's HRQoL was worse relative to men particularly in the mental health dimensions, consistent with findings of another chronic disease study. 21 This suggests that women may require a more targeted approach to intervention than men, focusing more strongly on areas with greater deficits such as role functioning, social functioning, and vitality, particularly if these areas are identified as being important to individual women.…”

Health-related quality of life of people with multimorbidity at a community-based, interprofessional student-assisted clinic: Implications for assessment and intervention

Objective This study examined the relationship between the number of comorbidities and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and between select physical conditions and HRQoL. Differences in HRQoL in comparison to a normative sample were also examined. Method A cross-sectional study among people with multimorbidity ( n = 401) attending a community-based, interdisciplinary health clinic was conducted. HRQoL was measured using the eight dimensions of the SF-36. Multiple linear regression and t-tests were used to analyse the data. Results A downward trend in HRQoL continued from 2 to 14 concurrent comorbidities. Patients with a higher number of comorbidities reported greater deficits in HRQoL, when age, gender, education and perceived social support were controlled for (beta = -0.11 to -0.31). The impact of the number of comorbidities was greatest for the bodily pain dimension of the SF-36 (beta = -0.31). Deficits were greatest for people with gastrointestinal conditions and back pain or sciatica. Moderate to large deficits in HRQoL compared to a normative population were found (Cohen's d = 0.54-1.16). Discussion Understanding associations between the number and type of physical comorbidities and HRQoL may assist clinical services to design broad but targeted interventions to optimize HRQoL in this group of people.

“…The construct of self-perceived health can be seen as the cognitive component of health-related self-assessment, whereas self-perceived vitality embraces its affective-motivational component. Vitality is characterized by three dimensions (Van Steenbergen et al, 2016): energy, or feeling energized; motivation, that means putting effort in achieving goals; and resilience, which consists of the ability to deal with everyday problems and challenges in life. Thus as our first analysis controlling for age showed having more vitality strengthened posttraumatic growth in those participants who did not realize a satisfactory state of health.…”

Relationship Between Self-Perceived Health, Vitality, and Posttraumatic Growth in Liver Transplant Recipients

et al. 2019

Our objective was to analyze the differences in posttraumatic growth in 240 liver transplant recipients based on two factors. First, self-perceived health: better (Group 1 = G 1 ) and worse (Group 2 = G 2 ). Second, vitality: more (Group 3 = G 3 ) and less (Group 4 = G 4 ). The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, SF-36 Health Survey (Item 2) and SF-12 Health Survey (vitality dimension) were used. Firstly, analyzing main effects recipients with better (G 1 ) compared to worse (G 2 ) self-perceived health, showed greater posttraumatic growth. Interaction effects were found on essential posttraumatic growth domains such as new possibilities ( p = 0.040), personal strength ( p = 0.027), and appreciation of life ( p = 0.014). Statistically significant differences showed that among transplant recipients with worse self-perceived health (G 2 ), those with more vitality had higher levels on abovementioned posttraumatic growth dimensions. However, in transplant recipients with better self-perceived health (G 1 ) respective dimensions were not significantly influenced by the level of vitality. Among the recipients with less vitality (G 4 ), those with better self-perceived health showed higher scores on abovementioned posttraumatic growth dimensions. We conclude that positive self-perceived health might compensate for a lack of vitality as well as a high level of vitality may compensate for negative self-perceived health regarding the development of crucial aspects of posttraumatic growth after liver transplantation.

“…Energy, vitality and fatigue are interrelated concepts, with the first two and the last sometimes seen as opposite ends of the same continuum (although they may be distinct psychological constructs [11]). Each can be defined as the sum of certain mental and physical components As examples the former may include degree of emotional and psychological well-being, level of perceived fatigue, mental resilience and perseverance, with the latter including feeling "strong and fit", or "unable to do anything") [12].…”

Vitamins and Minerals for Energy, Fatigue and Cognition: A Narrative Review of the Biochemical and Clinical Evidence

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Vitamins and minerals are essential to humans as they play essential roles in a variety of basic metabolic pathways that support fundamental cellular functions. In particular, their involvement in energy-yielding metabolism, DNA synthesis, oxygen transport, and neuronal functions makes them critical for brain and muscular function. These, in turn, translate into effects on cognitive and psychological processes, including mental and physical fatigue. This review is focused on B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B8, B9 and B12), vitamin C, iron, magnesium and zinc, which have recognized roles in these outcomes. It summarizes the biochemical bases and actions of these micronutrients at both the molecular and cellular levels and connects them with cognitive and psychological symptoms, as well as manifestations of fatigue that may occur when status or supplies of these micronutrients are not adequate.
