“…17 In the same vein, hope predicted physical activity, disease threat appraisal, and all aspects of quality of life including physical, functional, emotional, and social well-being in chronic diseases such as cancer. 18 On the other hand, pain, depression, self-esteem, and functional status were found to be the predictors of hope in cancer patients. 19 Another study demonstrated that anxiety, depression, effects and symptoms of renal disease, and mental health dimension of quality of life were the predictors of hope in hemodialysis patients.…”

“…20 As maintained above, some studies have evaluated the predictors of hope in chronic diseases. [17][18][19] However, only a single study was found on the psychological predictors of hope in hemodialysis patients. 20 The spiritual and social predictors of hope have also been less addressed in hemodialysis patients.…”

Background: Hemodialysis patients deal with some psychological and social problems. These problems may be the predictors of hope. This study aimed to determine the psychosocial, spiritual, and biomedical predictors of hope in hemodialysis patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 350 hemodialysis patients in hemodialysis centers affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. Adult Hope Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, Personal Resources Questionnaire-85, Spiritual Well-Being Scale, and biomedical markers were used for data collection. The data were entered into the SPSS 22 software and were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis. Results: The mean score of hope was 28.54 (SD=5.27). The mean scores of depression, anxiety, and stress were 17.87 (SD=7.62), 13.12 (SD=3.47), and 12.99 (SD=3.88), respectively. The mean scores of social support and spiritual well-being were 126.35 (SD=17.53) and 74.02 (SD=5.84), respectively. The means of biomedical markers including interdialytic weight gain, urea nitrogen, creatinine, phosphate, sodium, and potassium were 2.10 (SD=1.04), 51.55 (SD=13.10), 6.98 (SD=2.48), 4.71 (SD=1.08), 139.32 (SD=4.91), and 4.87 (SD=0.93), respectively. The results revealed a significant association between hope and depression, anxiety, stress, social support, and spiritual well-being (p<0.05). In addition, stress (β=−0.14, p=0.01), anxiety (β=−0.20, p=0.002), and social support (β=0.49, p<0.001) were the predictors of hope. Conclusion: The hemodialysis patients reported moderate levels of hope, social support, anxiety, and depression. In addition, most of them adhered to dietary and fluid restrictions. Considering the association between hope and social support, spiritual well-being, anxiety, depression, and stress, using some interventions regarding the mentioned variables might increase hope among hemodialysis patients.

“…The higher levels of depression were also associated with the increased risk of mortality rates in CRC patients 8 . While the previous studies mainly focused on long‐term cancer survivors' depressive levels, 6,7,9 there is an urgent need to identify the associated factors of depression among CRC patients at the transition stage after completing cancer treatments.…”

The multiple mediating effects of cancer threat appraisal and quality of life on the association between mindfulness and depression for colorectal cancer survivors

Objective This study explored the multiple mediating effects of cancer threat appraisal, functional status, and symptom distress on the association between mindfulness and depression in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients at the transition stage after completing cancer treatments. Methods A total of 90 CRC survivors who received cancer treatments within 3 months participated in this cross‐sectional study. The functional status and symptom distress (EORTC‐C30 and EORTC CR29), dispositional mindfulness (Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire), cancer threat appraisal ( Constructed Meaning Scale), and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory‐II scale) were collected. The mediation and moderation analyses were conducted using the PROCESS macros for SPSS. Results Survivors' dispositional mindfulness (γ = −0.49, p < 0.001) and cancer threat appraisal (γ = −0.59, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with depressive symptoms. Simple mediation analysis indicated that cancer threat appraisal mediated the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and depression (β = −0.02, 95% CI = −0.04 to −0.001). The multiple mediated analysis identified the path between dispositional mindfulness and depression via cancer threat appraisal and colorectal symptom distress (β = −0.01, 95% CI = −0.03 to −0.01). In the mediated moderation model, the path between dispositional mindfulness and depression via colorectal function was moderated by cancer threat appraisal (β = −0.02, 95% CI = −0.05 to −0.004). Conclusions The two cognitive mechanisms of reducing CRC survivors' depression are as follows: (1) dispositional mindfulness reducing the appraisal of cancer as a threat and increasing positive perceptions of CRC symptoms and (2) the cancer threat appraisal buffered the impacts of CRC's mindfulness and colorectal function on depressive symptoms. Developing mindfulness with cognitive training is recommended for improving depressive symptoms among CRC patients in the transition period.

“…The latter has already been claimed to be positively correlated with QoL in adult oncologic patients. 22 Notably, EORTC QLQ-30 surveys in nononcologic women watching Disney movies have never been evaluated, to our knowledge. However, the surprisingly high final QoL in the Disney group might also be associated with the small sample size.…”

IMPORTANCE In addition to treatment efficacy, evaluation of adverse effects and quality of life assessments have become increasingly relevant in oncology. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of watching Disney movies during chemotherapy with emotional and social functioning and fatigue status. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This randomized clinical trial was performed from December 2017 to December 2018 at a cancer referral center in Vienna, Austria. A consecutive sample of women with gynecologic cancers was recruited through July 2018. Inclusion criteria included age older than 18 years, written informed consent, and planned 6 cycles of chemotherapy with either carboplatin and paclitaxel or carboplatin and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. Exclusion criteria were inadequate knowledge of the German language or receipt of other chemotherapy regimens. Data analysis was performed from February 2019 to April 2019. INTERVENTION Participants were either shown Disney movies or not during 6 cycles of chemotherapy. Before and after every cycle, they completed standardized questionnaires from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Primary outcomes were change of quality of life, as defined by the EORTC Core-30 (version 3) questionnaire, and fatigue, as defined by the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire Fatigue, during 6 cycles of chemotherapy. RESULTS Fifty-six women entered the study, and 50 completed it, including 25 women in the Disney group (mean [SD] age, 59 [12] years) and 25 women in the control group (mean [SD] age, 62 [8] years). In the course of 6 cycles of chemotherapy, patients in the Disney group felt less tense and worried less than patients in the control group according to their responses to the questions about emotional functioning (mean [SD] score, 86.9 [14.3] vs 66.3 [27.2]; maximum test P = .02). Furthermore, watching Disney movies was associated with less encroachment on patients' family life and social activities, as evaluated by the social functioning questions (mean [SD] score, 86.1 [23.0] vs 63.6 [33.6]; maximum test P = .01). Moreover, this intervention led to fewer fatigue symptoms (mean [SD] score, 85.5 [13.6] vs 66.4 [22.5]; maximum test P = .01). Perceived global health status was not associated with watching Disney movies (mean [SD] score, 75.9 [17.6] vs 61.0 [25.1]; maximum test P = .16). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE These findings suggest that watching Disney movies during chemotherapy may be associated with improvements in emotional functioning, social functioning, and fatigue status in patients with gynecologic cancers. (continued) Key Points Question Is watching Disney movies during chemotherapy associated with improved quality of life among patients with gynecologic cancer? Findings In this randomized clinical trial that included 56 patients, watching Disney movies during 6 cycles of chemotherapy was associated with differences in emotional functioning, social functioning, and fatigue status scores compared with controls. Mean...
