Schematic representation and regression coefficients for the relationship between global cognitive performance and work demands mediated by social support. The standardized regression coefficients are shown in parentheses. The C represents the confounders for exposure-outcome (age, sex, race, education, income, hypertension, diabetes, body mass index, smoking, excessive alcohol use, common mental disorders, occupation type, hours of work per week and time in the workforce). The L represents the mediator-outcome confounders that are affected by the exposure (age, sex, education, income, common mental disorders, occupation type, hours of work per week and time in the workforce). Letters a and b represent the paths for indirect effect of mediation, whereas letter x represents the direct effect. The arrows represent the possible directions of the relationship between the work demands, social support, and cognitive performance. The dashed lines represent the covariate effects. *p < 0.05.

“…The difference was divided by the sample standard deviation (SD). Thus, a Z score of—1 represents a cognitive performance that is 1 SD below the mean sample score for each test ( Rawlings et al, 2014 ; Souza-Talarico et al, 2020 ). A composite EF Z score was calculated by averaging the Z scores of the FAB, FAS letters fluency test, Letter-Number Sequencing, Digit span forward and backward, and completed categories from WCST and then standardizing this mean ( Rawlings et al, 2014 ; Paradela et al, 2021 ).…”

“…There is evidence that hypertensive individuals perform worse in tests that assess executive functions (EF) compared to healthy individuals ( Moraes et al, 2020 , 2019 ). Souza-Talarico et al (2020) also found that work-related stress was associated with lower performance on delayed recall, verbal fluency, and EF tests in middle-aged adults ( Souza-Talarico et al, 2020 ). Therefore, AH and stress can be both independent risk factors for cognitive impairment.…”

Higher Perceived Stress as an Independent Predictor for Lower Use of Emotion-Focused Coping Strategies in Hypertensive Individuals

et al. 2022

IntroductionIndividuals with high scores of perceived stress (PS) are more likely to develop arterial hypertension (AH) than those with low levels of stress. In addition to this, AH and stress are both independent risk factors for executive function (EF) impairment and worse quality of life (QoL). Therefore, strategies to control and cope with emotional stress are of paramount importance. However, less is known about the association of PS with EF, QoL, and coping in individuals with hypertension. This study aimed to evaluate the association of PS with EF performance, coping strategies use, and QoL in a sample of hypertensive patients.MethodsWe assessed a group of 45 hypertensive individuals (mean age = 58.42 ± 8.9 years, 71.11% female). The EF evaluation was: Frontal Assessment Battery; Controlled Oral Word Association Test—FAS; Letter-Number Sequencing subtest from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Third Edition (WAIS-III); Digit Span subtest from the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. The type and frequency of coping strategies used were measured by the Brief Coping with Experienced Problems Scale (Brief-COPE). The World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire Bref (WHOQOL-bref) was applied to measure QoL. The associations of the PS with EF performance, coping strategies, and QoL were investigated using univariate and multiple linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, education, systolic pressure, and depression symptoms.ResultsIn the multivariate analyses, higher PS was an independent predictor for a lower frequency of emotion-focused strategy use (β = −0.23; p = 0.03). However, PS was not significantly related to EF and Qol in this sample. The lower the PS, the greater the use of emotion-focused coping.ConclusionHypertensive individuals with high PS use less frequently positive emotion-focused coping strategies.

Background and objective: This study conducted an awareness and demand survey on agro-healing for the purpose of preparing basic data for developing agro-healing programs and improving service quality to heal the mental health of people with symptoms of stress.Methods: In order to conduct this study, a questionnaire consisting of 23 items was developed to investigate the awareness and demand for agro-healing. The survey was conducted online on adults in their 20s and 30s showing symptoms of stress. A total of 225 copies of the questionnaire were collected, and 183 copies were finally used for analysis.Results: The survey results showed that 66.1% of the respondents were 'not aware at all' and 33.9% were 'aware' of agro-healing. Regarding the experience of participating in agro-healing, 68.3% of the respondents said they had 'no experience' and 31.7% said they had 'experience'. Among the respondents with experience, the most common purpose of participation was 'experience' (31.0%), followed by 'education' (27.6%), 'leisure' (20.7%), 'healing' (10.3%), and 'recreation' (5.1%). The intent to participate in agro-healing was rated on a 5-point Likert scale, and 'forest healing' scored 4.0 points, 'horticultural therapy' 3.8 points, 'animal-assisted therapy' 3.8 points, and 'agricultural work healing' 3.2 points. The points to be improved when using the agro-healing service are 'lack of various promotional contents' (73.8%), 'lack of education and training programs' (13.7%), 'lack of partnership with the government' (7.1%), and 'lack of consideration for the underprivileged' (5.5%). 74.3% of the respondents said it is necessary to implement and systemize agro-healing policies, 21.3% said it was 'moderate', and 4.3% said it was 'unnecessary', indicating that there was high awareness of the need to implement agro-healing service policies.Conclusion: This study is expected to provide basic data for effective agro-healing services to treat the mental health of people with stress symptoms and be used as a reference material for making policy suggestions to establish an organized agro-healing system.
