“…Cognitive and emotion regulation strategies are postulated to be mechanisms that are open and change (Bargh & Williams, 2007). Cognitive processes are involved in the experience and expression of emotion (Garnefski, Kraaij, & Schroevers, 2008). Furthermore, it is reported that cognitive coping methods are mechanisms under constant potential influence and modification (Gorgen, Hiller & Witthoft, 2014).…”

Objective:The current study aimed to explore posttraumatic growth and its relationship with cognitive emotion regulation strategies among a group of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients in Shiraz.Methods: Ninety-two patients diagnosed with MS were recruited from the multiple sclerosis society in Shiraz in 2014 using convenience sampling method. The participants completed two research questionnaires including Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis were applied to analyze the data using SPSS version 16. Results:The data showed that a majority of patients with MS experienced some degree of posttraumatic growth. The participants scored high on the appreciation of life followed by spiritual change and personal strength. With regard to cognitive emotion regulation variables, only reappraisal (P<0.002) and positive refocusing (P<0.001) significantly predicted posttraumatic growth. Conclusion:Patients who used positive refocusing and reappraisal were more likely to experience posttraumatic growth.

“…that myocardial infarction patients with WHO-5 scores of >50 are well functioning, was supported by the study by Bergmann et al [44] among patients who had survived myocardial infarction and were followed for >2 years. The fact that patients having survived myocardial infarction have rather high WHO-5 scores has been considered by Garnefski et al [45] as an expression of a positive coping style. They referred to this effect as a form of ‘post-traumatic growth'.…”

Background: The 5-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) is among the most widely used questionnaires assessing subjective psychological well-being. Since its first publication in 1998, the WHO-5 has been translated into more than 30 languages and has been used in research studies all over the world. We now provide a systematic review of the literature on the WHO-5. Methods: We conducted a systematic search for literature on the WHO-5 in PubMed and PsycINFO in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. In our review of the identified articles, we focused particularly on the following aspects: (1) the clinimetric validity of the WHO-5; (2) the responsiveness/sensitivity of the WHO-5 in controlled clinical trials; (3) the potential of the WHO-5 as a screening tool for depression, and (4) the applicability of the WHO-5 across study fields. Results: A total of 213 articles met the predefined criteria for inclusion in the review. The review demonstrated that the WHO-5 has high clinimetric validity, can be used as an outcome measure balancing the wanted and unwanted effects of treatments, is a sensitive and specific screening tool for depression and its applicability across study fields is very high. Conclusions: The WHO-5 is a short questionnaire consisting of 5 simple and non-invasive questions, which tap into the subjective well-being of the respondents. The scale has adequate validity both as a screening tool for depression and as an outcome measure in clinical trials and has been applied successfully across a wide range of study fields.

“…Posttraumatic stress symptoms may result in a chronic depressive mood leading to persistent changes in personality. It is also conceivable that patients could experience a posttraumatic growth after heart disease [53] or MI [54], which in turn affects type-D. Future research may need to further examine the stability of type-D in relation to severe life events.…”
