“…The PSS utilizes a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 0 ( never ) to 4 ( very often ), with total scores ranging from 0 to 56; after reverse-scoring of seven items, higher scores indicate greater perceived stress (Cohen et al, 1983). An example item includes: “In the last month, how often have you felt nervous and ’stressed?” The PSS has exhibited satisfactory internal consistency (α = .85) and good test–retest reliability ( r = .85) over 2 days (Al kalaldeh & Abu Shosha, 2012) in college student samples (Cohen et al, 1983; Mitchell et al, 2008). Cronbach’s alpha is good in the current study (α = .87).…”

Perceived stress and suicidal behaviors in college students: Conditional indirect effects of depressive symptoms and mental health stigma.

et al. 2019

Suicide is a significant public health concern and the second leading cause of death for college students. Perceived stress, depression, and mental health stigma are established risk factors for suicidal behavior; however, their interrelationships are unknown. Data were collected from 913 collegiate housing residents (70.8% female; N = 646). Using data from self-report measures, depressive symptoms were examined as a mediator of the relation between stress and suicidal behavior, along with the moderating effect of mental health stigma. Depressive symptoms partially mediated the stress–suicide linkage, and mental health stigma was a significant moderator of the associations between stress and depression, depression and suicidal behavior, and stress and suicidal behavior. Stigmatized attitudes toward mental health treatment, including fear of social repercussion, may exacerbate the deleterious impact of stress on psychopathology and suicide risk. Individual-level therapeutic strategies targeting stress and psychopathology, as well as public health approaches that directly address and attempt to reduce mental health stigma, may reduce suicide risk in college students.

“…It measures the degree to which life situations are appraised as stressful. The PSS has become one of the most widely used instruments for measuring nonspecific global stress [ 68 – 72 ]. Here we used the Simplified Chinese version of PSS-10 translated by Wang et al [ 73 ] (see S5 Appendix ), with sufficient internal consistency ( α = .86).…”

While improper pedestrian behavior has become an important factor related to road traffic fatalities, especially in developing countries, the effects of personality traits and/or stress on pedestrian behavior have been rarely reported. The current study explored the joint effects of five personality traits (i.e., extraversion, openness, neuroticism, normlessness and altruism) and global perceived stress (measured with the Perceived Stress Scale-10) on pedestrian behavior (measured with the Pedestrian Behavior Scale) in 311 Chinese individuals. Results showed that altruism, neuroticism and openness significantly affected different pedestrian behavior dimensions, while global perceived stress also significantly and positively predicted positive behavior. Moreover, the effect of neuroticism on positive behavior was fully mediated by stress. Some explanations and implications are provided in the discussion section.

“…Patients also completed validated questionnaires assessing subjective cognitive function, anxiety and depression, QOL and stress at the four time points. The questionnaires used in this study were: The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire – Cognitive Functioning subscale (EORTC QLQ‐CF) 33 Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Cognition subscale (FACT‐Cog) 34 Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Bone Marrow Transplant subscale (FACT‐BMT) 35 Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) 36 The Perceived Stress Scale – 14 items (PSS‐14) 37 …”

Background Chemotherapy‐related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is a known adverse event that can impact cancer survivors, resulting in long‐standing effect on quality of life and activities of daily living. Currently, there is limited knowledge regarding the aetiology and therapy for CRCI. Although CRCI following autologous stem cell transplantation (AuSCT) is emerging as a potentially significant concern for patients with underlying haematological malignancies, it is an area that requires further research. Aims This pilot study aimed to assess (i) the prevalence of CRCI in patients with haematological malignancies both pre‐AuSCT and post‐AuSCT and (ii) the feasibility of a cognitive rehabilitation programme (CRP) in survivorship care post‐AuSCT. Methods Over a 12‐month period, consecutive patients planned for AuSCT were approached for the study. Enrolled patients were administered a 9‐week course of CRP, commencing day 40 ± 5 post‐AuSCT. Participants were evaluated using a neuropsychological tool and validated questionnaires at baseline, pre‐CRP (day 40 ± 5 post‐AuSCT), post‐CRP and 6 months post‐CRP. Results Thirty‐two patients were enrolled. The mean age was 59 years (SD = 11.5), 23 (72%) were male and 18 (56%) had multiple myeloma. Participants reported high satisfaction using the CRP, and most devoted significant amount of time as requested. Conclusions While there appeared to be a low incidence of significant CRCI in our patient population, the incorporation of CRP in survivorship care appeared to be feasible. A larger randomised study examining the efficacy of CRP should be further explored.
