“…We hypothesized that differences in age group of cancer survivors should be accounted for in this study due to the association of age with depression and cancer [14,15], Marital status was also accounted for because people who are partnered tend to have more support thus decreasing risk of depression [16], educational level and income group tend to have a strong association with increased socioeconomic status [17,18]. We also included race, region, health status, BMI, lifestyle choices like smoking and type of insurance owned by people in the cohort [19][20][21][22].…”

Objective: Cancer patients are at a high risk of exhibiting depressive symptoms. However, what remains unknown is whether gynecological cancer (GC) worsens this risk. This study seeks to compare depressive symptoms amongst women diagnosed with GC and women diagnosed with other cancer types before COVID-19 pandemic and during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also seeks to compare both study periods to confirm if COVID-19 influenced depressive symptoms of women with GC. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted to find an association between depressive symptoms and gynecological cancers using other cancer type diagnosis in females as a reference. We utilized the sample adult file of NHIS (National Health Interview Survey) data from 2019 (Pre-Pandemic data) and data from 2020 (Pandemic data). We also utilized the PHQ-8 scale to quantify major depressive disorder. Each of the 8 items were scored from 0-3. All statistical analysis were performed using SAS v9.4 ((SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC), and statistical significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: A weighted population of women with GC vs other cancer types was obtained. Women with GC tend to have lesser Age, Educational status, Health status, Income. They also tend to be more obese and smokers. Women with GC tend to have had hysterectomy (68.03% vs 35.43%) and access to care during COVID-19 (71.63% vs 68.01%). Severe depressive symptoms were higher before pandemic and among women with GC OR 2.89 (95%CI 1.64 - 5.12). Moderate depressive symptoms were higher during the pandemic and among women with GC OR 2.19 (95%CI 1.35 – 3.57). Among women with GC, depressive symptoms were less likely in 2020 than 2019 with an OR 0.57 (95%CI 0.36 – 0.91) Conclusion: Based on the data available, women with gynecologic cancer are more prone to having depressive symptoms than women with other cancer types. Therefore, policies should be implemented to improve wellness of women with gynecologic cancer. Although, depressive symptoms wasn’t worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…A main contributing factor to adult quality of life is that of successful interpersonal relationships, and autistic adults are no different in this respect (Mason et al, 2018). Increased feelings of wellbeing and self-esteem are a byproduct of healthy and supportive intimate relationships (Voss et al, 1999, as cited in Roberson et al, 2018, which can also temper effects of anxiety and depression (Bastida-González et al, 2017;Hasan et al, 2021). Conversely, couple discord can cause psychological distress, as well as impair social and employment experiences, separate from any underlying disorders that may be present (Whisman & Uebelacker, 2006).…”

Romantic relationships involving neurodivergent (ND) adults, in particular a subset where at least one partner in the relationship is autistic, present unique dynamics and challenges regarding partnership communication, emotional connection, intimacy, and engagement. To cater for such relationships, adjustments to relationship therapy may be needed. This scoping review aimed to investigate what is known about relationship-counselling approaches for couples in which an autistic profile has been identified, either through diagnosis or self-identification. A lack of empirical research exploring specific relationship-counselling therapies for ND couples was found; moreover, only two of the nine studies reviewed had qualitatively investigated a specific approach. All studies reached consensus on the need for greater therapist familiarity with autism when working with ND couples. Other common recommendations were to avoid viewing autism as a deficit, to approach ND relationships with a cultural lens to facilitate mutual understanding, and to ensure social support for the neurotypical partner of the relationship. Overall, this review found a need for greater empirical research in ND relationship counselling, including follow-up research to test recommendations.

“…Uno de los problemas psicológicos que se han detectado en población inmigrante es la baja satisfacción vital en comparación con personas nativas (Kong & You, 2013;Moscato, Novara, Hombrados-Mendieta, Romano, & Lavanco, 2014;Utrera & Guardiola, 2017). La satisfacción vital hace referencia a un sentimiento emocional básico sobre la evaluación global de la calidad de vida (Diener, Diener, & Diener, 1995;Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985;Fernández-Berrocal & Extremera, 2009), que está en función de una serie de atributos psicológicos asociados al buen desarrollo y al ajuste psicosocial de la persona (Basabe, Páez, Aierdi, & Jiménez-Aristizabal, 2009). Estos atributos a su vez se deben a diversos aspectos, tanto objetivos, por ejemplo el hecho de estar en situación de regularidad administrativa (Moreno-Jiménez & Hidalgo, 2011), como -principalmente-subjetivos, por ejemplo el ajuste entre las expectativas premigratorias y los logros conseguidos en la nueva sociedad (Neto, 1995;Holgado, Sánchez, & Navas, 2011).…”
