The role of internalizing problems on headache characteristics and pain coping strategies among adolescents diagnosed with episodic migraine.

The aim of this study is to investigate the correlational processes and possible mediation mechanisms between internalizing problems and significant indicators of headache (pain frequency, duration, and intensity) and pain coping strategies among adolescents diagnosed with episodic migraine. The study sample included 143 adolescents diagnosed with episodic migraine in compliance with the diagnostic criteria specified in ICHD-3. In collecting data, Sociodemographic Information Form, Headache Questionnaire Form, Pain Coping Questionnaire, Children's Depression Questionnaire, and Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Disorders: Child Form were used. Statistical analyses of the study were carried out using the 'SPSS for Windows Package Program.' The findings of the study indicate that adolescents suffer from a higher headache frequency per month in parallel with higher levels of depression (r=0.28, p<0.05), total anxiety (r=0.19, p<0.05), panic disorder/somatic symptoms (r=0.22, p<0.05), and school avoidance (r=0.21, p<0.05). In addition, the higher the levels of internalizing problems among adolescents are, the more common is the use of coping strategies that give rise to feelings of helplessness in the face of pain (r=0.27, p<0.01). On the other hand, the study findings concerning mediation mechanisms show that the level of depression is a full mediator in correlations between the levels of panic disorders/somatic symptoms and school avoidance and both monthly headache frequency and use of coping strategies that give rise to feelings of helplessness in the face of pain among adolescents. The results of the study also offer an insight into the age-related phenotypic variation and chronicity of migraine.

The Role of Coping Strategies in the Resilience of Health Workers During Covid-19 Pandemic

During the COVID-19 pandemic, health workers are at the highest risk of infection so appropriate coping strategies are needed to survive the situation. This study aims to examine the role of coping strategies ((problem focused coping, emotion focused coping, and avoidance coping) on the resilience of health workers in hospitals. Using the Brief COPE questionnaire for coping strategy variables with α 0.888 and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) for resilience with α 0.89. The sampling technique used proportional random sampling with 86 respondents. Data analysis using multiple regression shows that there is a significant effect between coping strategy variables on resilience with a value of p = 0.008 (p &lt;0.05), there is a significant effect between Problem Focused Coping on resilience with a value of p = 0.000 (p &lt;0.05), there is a significant effect between Emotion Focused Coping on resilience with a value of p = 0.012 (p &lt;0.05), and there is a significant effect between Avoidance Coping on resilience with a value of p = 0.037 (p &lt;0.05). Coping and resilience strategies that are widely used by health workers at the Meuraxa Regional General Hospital, Banda Aceh City during the pandemic are drawing closer to God, praying, believing in God, being proud of achievements, social support, and the ability to adapt. The results of this research can be used as input for related agencies so that they can hopefully form resilient health workers.

FEATURES OF INFERTILITY-RELATED STRESS EXPERIENCED BY WOMEN

Studies emphasize the role of infertility-related stress in the development of infertility and the infl uence of psychological factors on success of treatment. The purpose of the study was to investigate characteristics of individual components of infertility-related stress such as anxiety, depression, emotional schemas, and stress coping strategies. The data were collected and processed with Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI); Fertility Quality of Life (FertiQoL) Questionnaire (by J. Boivin); Emotional Schemas Questionnaire II (LESS II) (by R.L. Leahy); and COPE Stress Coping Questionnaire adapted by T.O. Gordeeva, E.N. Osin, et.al., Mann-Whitney U nonparametric test for statistical analysis. A sample of  infertile women (the main group) and  women without infertility who were not planning pregnancy in the near future (control group) participated in the study. The study showed that the infertile women experience insuffi - cient satisfaction with their quality of life, subjective emotional distress, lack of social support, and some extent of marital dissatisfaction. Moreover, subclinical levels of anxiety and depression are accompanied by general intensity of emotional schemas and prevalence of such schemas as “Guilt about Emotions”, “Incomprehensibility”, “Invalidation by Others”, “Predicted Duration of Emotions”, “A Tendency to Ruminate”, “Simplistic View of Emotions”. In stressful situations, the women experiencing infertility-related stress tend to use behavioral strategies characterized by infl exibility, avoidance, denial, and rare use of positive reframing or humor. The study revealed various factors contributing to the infertility-related stress experienced by the infertile women: insuffi cient satisfaction with their quality of life, subjective emotional distress, lack of social support, and marital dissatisfaction. Moreover, subclinical symptoms of anxiety and depression are accompanied by general intensity of emotional schemas and a limited range of stress coping strategies.

Смысложизненные ориентации и копинг-стратегии девушек разного студенческого возраста

Student age is sensitive for the formation of a worldview and life goals, awareness of responsibility for one’s life. Their search contributes both to the formation of an appropriate assessment of reality, understanding, and awareness of the life purpose and to the formation of constructive ways to solve life problems, one’s special behavior strategies. The paper aims at the establishing the correlation of the life-purpose orientations and coping strategies of female students of different age groups. The author carried out the study on a sample group represented by female students of different undergraduate and graduate courses of Tula State Lev Tolstoy Pedagogical University (n=69) aged 18 to 24. The PIL test by D.A. Leontiev and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ) by R. Lazarus were used as the diagnostic tools. The correlation analysis showed the presence of strong direct correlations between goals, the life process and life performance, the life meaningfulness general indicator and planning strategy. The study identified strong inverse correlations between life performance indicator and the distancing and escape/avoidance strategies. The study showed that the values of life awareness of female students are the higher, the older the respondents are. Life-purpose orientations influence the choice of coping strategies: for the (≤21) age group respondents, avoiding-type coping strategies, i. e., unproductive strategies, are more characteristic, while for the (≥22) age group, problem-oriented coping is the most typical.

Ресурсная субъектность студентов в разных образовательных моделях в период пандемии

Reforming education, the transition from the traditional educational model («educational tube») to «individual educational trajectories» (IET) is perceived by the participants of the educational process quite tensely. The need to adapt to a new educational model amidst COVID-19 pandemic is an aggravating factor for the educational process and mental wellbeing of students. The specific nature of the IET model is that students are in a constant self-determined, active position regarding their educational path. It is necessary to assess the psychological risks of educational innovations for students.&#x0D; The purpose of the study: to compare the parameters of resource self-determination of students in the IET and the traditional educational model during the pandemic. Sample: 1687 university students from Tyumen region studying according to the traditional model (1325) and according to the IET model (362). Data collection methods: self-organization questionnaire (Time Structure Questionnaire, M.J. Bond, N.T. Feather) adapted by E.Yu. Mandrikova; the scale of basic beliefs (World assumptions scale, R. Janoff-Bulman) adapted by M.A. Paduna,&#x0D; A.V. Kotelnikova; The Ways of Coping Questionnaire, R.S. Folkman, S. Lazarus, adapted by T.L. Kryukova, E.V. Kuftyak, M.S. Zamyshlyaeva; scales of psychological well-being (The scales of psychological well-being C.D. Ryff) adapted by T.D. Shevelenkova, P.P. Fesenko; questionnaire «Losses and acquisitions of personal resources» N.E. Vodopyanova, M. Stein. Mathematical and statistical methods: pairwise comparison of samples was carried out using the ANOVA method (Post Hoc comparison Scheffe Test). Students’ resource self-determination in different educational models differs according to the groups of used resources. Students in a traditional educational model use planning resources more often. Students studying in a IET model are more active users of self-support/self-promotion, resources of achievements and correction of actions.

Gender Features of Coping Strategies in Men and Women

The effectiveness of coping behavior depends not only on a successful strategy but also on the individual characteristics of a person. Age, sex, intelligence, social status, gender identity - all these influence the coping ability and resilience of an individual. In mo- dern psychological research, there is some confusion between the concepts of ‘sex’ and ‘gender.’ Despite numerous studies on male and female coping strategies, gender differences in coping behavior are still poorly understood. The purpose of the study was to analyze gender-specific coping strategies of middle-aged men and women. Russian men and women (N = 286) were divided by gender (masculine, androgynous, feminine). The research was made using The Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BPRT) and Lazarus Folkman’s Test Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ). This study employed a cross-sectional design. Differences among the groups were assessed using the Kruskal - Wallis H test, Mann - Whitney U test and Student t-test. The specificity of coping behavior was found to be determined by the gender identity of the study participants. The results of the present study support the gender differences hypothesis, since people with differences in biological sexual identity (male and female) use gender-specific coping strategies (masculine, feminine, or androgynous) if their gender orientations are the same. The research of masculinity, androgyny and femininity can become an important step in the long-term study of coping behavior and the basis for a better understanding of the dynamics of human behavior in a stressful situation.

Anxiety-depression levels and coping strategies among renal transplant waitlisted and non-waitlisted hemodialysis patients

Background/Aim: Although hemodialysis provides prolonged survival, patients face major challenges, including conflicts about life decisions, limited physical, mental, and lifestyle activities, psychological distress, high prevalence of anxiety and depression symptoms, and compromised health-related quality of life. This study aimed to compare anxiety-depression levels and coping strategies between renal transplant waitlisted and non-waitlisted hemodialysis patients. Methods: A total of 75 hemodialysis patients were enrolled in this case-control analytical study, including renal transplant waitlisted (n = 35) and non-waitlisted (n = 40) patients. Patients were asked to fill out a questionnaire including socio-demographic characteristics, duration of hemodialysis, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire. Comparative analyses were performed via Student's t-test and Pearson Correlation test. Results: The mean age was 57.1 (15.3) years; 56% were males, and being under hemodialysis treatment was 7.3 (5.9) years. Waitlisted and non-waitlisted patients were matched. Overall, 28 patients (37.3%) had anxiety, and 34 patients (45.3%) had depression. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding depression scores. Anxiety was more common among non-waitlisted than waitlisted patients (P = 0.043). The fatalistic approach was the most common coping strategy applied, and there was a significant negative correlation between anxiety scores and the problem-solving approach (P = 0.034) and a significant positive correlation between depression scores and the helplessness approach (r = 0.234, P = 0.043). Conclusion: Both waitlisted and non-waitlisted hemodialysis patients have significantly higher levels of depression, with anxiety being higher in non-waitlisted patients. Since coping strategies differed concerning anxiety and depression but not transplant candidacy, psychiatric evaluation and counseling would be essential in hemodialysis patients to control the stressors.

Coping strategies among individuals with multiple physical symptoms: A general population-based cross-sectional study

ObjectiveCoping has been suggested as a perpetuating factor for physical symptoms. The aim of this study was to examine the use of the coping strategies approach, resignation, and diversion in individuals with multiple physical symptoms according to the construct of Bodily Distress Syndrome (BDS). MethodsThis cross-sectional study was part of the nationwide web-based survey Danish Symptom Cohort (DaSC). In total, 100,000 individuals were invited to participate, and individuals eligible for the present study were respondents aged 20–64 years without a current or recent pregnancy. Multiple physical symptoms were identified using the BDS checklist, and coping was assessed by the Brief Approach/Avoidance Coping Questionnaire. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics and multinomial and logistic regression. ResultsA total of 35,810 respondents were included in the study, of which 8512 (23.8%) fulfilled the criteria for having multiple physical symptoms. This group of respondents had lower coping scores on approach and higher coping scores on resignation and diversion compared with the non-BDS group. The regression analyses showed that high scores on approach were associated with a lower probability of having multiple symptoms (adjusted OR 0.92, 95% CI: 0.91–0.92), whereas high scores on diversion and resignation were associated with a higher probability of having multiple symptoms (adjusted OR 1.10; 95% CI: 1.09–1.11 and adjusted OR 1.19; 95% CI: 1.18–1.20, respectively). ConclusionThe study supports the hypothesis that experiencing multiple physical symptoms is associated with certain coping strategies. This is relevant knowledge for health care professionals who will be treating this patient group.

Stress And Coping Strategies Of Mothers Of Preterm Infants Admitted In Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Background: Beginning throughout pregnancy is the beginning of the process of attaining new roles and transitioning into new roles that is known as parenting. The shift will be complete once the moms have reached a level of comfort and confidence in their ability to fulfil the role of mother. It is important that the time immediately after birth be an environment that is favorable to the development of maternal baby bonding so that the relationship between mothers and their infants can be improved. It is distressing for both the mother and the infant if the newborn is separated from the mother either at the time of birth or after the link has been established. Material &amp; Methods: The stress levels and methods of dealing with stress utilized by moms of preterm infants referred to tertiary care centres were evaluated using a descriptive research methodology. There were a total of sixty moms of premature infants that took part in the study. The samples were collected using a technique called purposeful sampling. After receiving their informed consent, the researchers included in the study any parent who was willing to take part and who possessed either English or Marathi language skills. During the second through seventh days of admission, a validated questionnaire was used to assess the levels of stress as well as coping mechanisms. Data on demographic characteristics were gathered. Both the coping style and the level of parental stress were evaluated with the help of a parental stressor scale and a brief COPE questionnaire, respectively. The findings of this particular research project revealed that there were a total of 60 postnatal mothers who did not have a history of psychiatric disorder. The areas of newborn and appearance change, as well as changes in parental role, were found to produce the highest levels of stress for mothers. The results were disrupted by logical reasoning and supported by a condensed version of the COPE model. The examination of the data revealed that praying, developing a relationship with the infant, and coming to terms with the situation were the three most prominent themes.&#x0D; Conclusion: The fact that the mothers of babies who are being treated in the NICU are under severe stress is something that needs to be identified as early as possible in conjunction with the treatment of unwell newborns in order to provide holistic care to the family..

Coping profiles of family caregivers of people with schizophrenia: differentiations between parent and sibling caregivers

Background Prior research on informal caregivers of people with schizophrenia (PWS) has primarily focused on parental caregivers. However, siblings also play an important role in the recovery process of PWS. Aims The aim of this study is to compare the coping profiles of family caregivers according to whether they are siblings or parents of the PWS. Method Parent and sibling caregivers (N = 181) completed the Family Coping Questionnaire (FCQ), which assessed their coping strategies. Results The results reveal that parents and siblings do not use the same coping strategies and styles. Three coping profiles were identified depending on the caregiver’s relationship with the PWS. Most parents displayed an undifferentiated profile (96.7%), while siblings were more heterogeneously distributed among the undifferentiated profile (58.3%), problem-focused profile (37.5%), and emotion and social support-focused profile (4.2%). Conclusions These findings suggest that the coping capacities of family caregivers to deal with the illness of their sibling or child with schizophrenia are diverse and that it is important to differentiate among them. This would enable these caregivers to benefit from support that could be tailored to their specific needs.

Resilience and coping strategies coping strategies in primary school teachers

The aim of the study was to assess the coping strategies used in the context of resilience among elementary school teachers. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 197 elementary school teachers. To assess coping strategies, the COPE questionnaire in the Polish adaptation of S. Piatek and K. Wrześniewski. Resilience was measured using the Teachers' Resilience Scale (TRS) by M. Platsidou and A. Danilidou in a Polish adaptation by M. Boczkowska. The study showed that resilience statistically significantly differentiates the applied stress coping strategies among elementary school teachers, but only in terms of the strategies "Focus on the problem" and "Denial". The results allow us to conclude that elementary school teachers demonstrating high levels of resilience in the face of stressful events do not focus only on them, but rather activate other coping strategies that facilitate positive adaptation.

Coping Strategies In Young Healthy Individuals With Type D Personality

Objective — To study the choice of coping strategies and coping intensity in healthy individuals with type D personality. Material and methods — The study included 98 students of Kemerovo State Medical University (KemSMU), 68 women and 30 men (their mean age was 19.1±2.0 years). All subjects filled out psychological questionnaires to identify type D personality (DS-14) and the choice of coping strategies (Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ) and Coping Strategy Indicator (CSI)). Results — The participants were divided into a group with type D personality (n=44) and without it (n=54). Individuals with type D personality had higher scores on the Escape-Avoidance (p&lt;0.001), Accepting Responsibility (p=0.009) and Distancing (p=0.05) scales of the WSQ questionnaire, and Avoidance strategy scale of the CSI questionnaire (p=0.007). Students with type D personality were characterized by a pronounced preference for the Escape-Avoidance strategy (p=0.000018). An increase of 1 point in the values on the Escape-Avoidance scale improved the chance of identifying type D personality by 1.15 times (p&lt;0.001). An increase in scores on the Positive Reappraisal scale reduced the likelihood of identifying type D personality (OR 0.98; p=0.005). The Escape-Avoidance coping strategy was rather strongly associated with type D personality (AUC=0.779). Conclusion — In healthy young people with type D personality, inadequate coping strategies were notably prevalent: the Escape-Avoidance strategy identified by WCQ, and the Avoidance strategy marked by the CSI. The Escape-Avoidance strategy was independently associated with type D personality, and the Positive Reappraisal strategy was associated with the non-D type.

The Outcome of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Treatment Depends on Affective State at the Time of Admission.

In Austria, new approaches of rehabilitation programs focus on the prevention of mental illness and offer treatment not only for acute psychiatric patients, but also for those who are at risk of developing a mental disorder or have recovered from one.The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a psychiatric rehabilitation program on individuals with different mood states. 600 patients with a history of affective disorder were tested at the time of admission to an Austrian inpatient psychiatric rehabilitation center. Data of extreme groups - patients who were depressed (n=59; BDI-II<9 and HAMD<8) or euthymic (n=59; BDI<18 and HAMD>19) at the time of therapy start - were analyzed. The participants completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey, the Symptom Checklist - Revised and the Stress Coping Questionnaire at the beginning and the end of the 6-weeks rehabilitation program. After 6 weeks, both groups showed significantly less psychiatric symptoms (BDI-II, HAMD, SCL-90, and negative coping strategies (SVF). Importantly, work-related stress symptoms ("burnout" symptoms) improved significantly in the euthymic group. Euthymic patients seem to be able to focus on work-related stress symptoms including reduced emotional exhaustion through treatment, while currently depressed patients primarily benefit by an improvement in general psychiatric symptomatology. The results indicate the crucial role of mood state validated with standardized psychological questionnaires BDI-II and HAMD at time of admission to such programs. These findings could have implications on treatment decisions for psychiatric patients and assist in making a forecast concerning ability to recover and treatment prognosis.

Relationship of coping strategies with resilience, self-efficiency, and anxiety in the new normal period of the covid-19 pandemic on Teenagers In Kupang City

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Background&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused everyone to feel anxious. The government has made several preventive strategies to inhibit the spread of the virus through social distancing, physical distancing, and the stay at home order which lead to the decreasing access to family, friends, and other social support systems and causing loneliness and increasing psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Thus, everyone, especially teenagers, are expected to be able to adapt to the new habits (the new normal) in carrying out healthy and clean-living behaviour. Those who are prone to COVID-19 gradually develop adaptive and functional skills and competencies, and build a self-identity that can prepare themselves to carry out their roles and respond to societal expectations as they mature, which can also be regarded as a period of storms and stress. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives: &lt;/strong&gt;Is to identify the relationship of coping strategies with resilience and anxiety in the transition to the new normal during the COVID-19 pandemic on teenagers in Kupang City. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Methods:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; The research design used in this study was cross-sectional. The sample in this study was 147 measured using the inclusion and exclusion criteria that had been set. Meanwhile, the inclusion criteria in this study were as follows: domiciled in Kupang City, have stayed in Kupang for more than 3 years, aged over 15-19, and class VII of junior high school. The measuring instrument used in this study is the Ways of Coping questionnaire from Folkman to measure coping strategies, the self-rating anxiety scale (SRAS) questionnaire from Zung to measure anxiety, and the Gartland Questionnaire to measure resilience. The data analysis was conducted by using Chi Square test. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Results&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;:The results showed p-value &amp;lt; 0.05 was a relationship of coping strategies with self-efficacy and anxiety on junior high school teenagers in Kupang City. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Conclusions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;: Coping strategies have a very significant relationship with self-efficacy and anxiety in adolescents. Adolescents who have good coping strategies have good self-efficacy during the new normal era. This is also similar to anxiety, adolescents who have good coping strategies have low anxiety.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Perceived Stress and Coping Strategies of Nurses Working in the Emergency Service During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Objective: This study aims to investigate the perceived stress and coping styles of the nurses working in the emergency service during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: The study population consisted of the nurses in the emergency service of the A Hospital, who met the research inclusion criteria between April 15th, 2021, and May 1st, 2021 (N:179). Without any sample selection, 156 nurses who agreed to participate voluntarily in the research were included in the study sample. Research data were collected using the survey program online, taking into account the COVID-19 conditions and the intensity of work in the emergency service. Permission of the Ministry of Health and approval of the ethics committee (no:B.30.2.ATA.0.01.00/) were obtained before conducting the study. Results: The Perceived Stress Scale scores of the nurses working in the emergency service were found to be above the average (avg.value:26). In addition, of the Ways of Coping Questionnaire sub-scales, the Optimistic Approach, Self-Confident Approach, Seeking Social Support Approach sub-scale scores were found to decrease with the increase in the Perceived Stress Scale scores, whereas the Helpless Approach and Submissive Approach sub-scale scores were found to increase significantly with increasing Perceived Stress Scale scores (p&amp;lt;0.05). In addition, the study suggests that there is a positive and significant relationship between the Perceived Stress Scale scores and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire scores of the nurses (p&amp;lt;0.05).Conclusions: The perceived stress level score of the emergency service nurses was found to be above average, and the Optimistic Approach, Self-Confident Approach, Seeking Social Support Approach sub-scale scores were found to decrease with the increase in the Perceived Stress Scale scores, but the Helpless Approach and Submissive Approach sub-scale scores were found to increase with increasing Perceived Stress Scale scores.

The relationship between traumatic dental injuries and adolescents' non-suicidal self-injury behaviour: A cross-sectional analysis of an East London cohort.

Recent reviews of case reports have pointed out a potential connection between non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and traumatic dental injuries (TDIs). The aim of this study was to investigate the association of a history of NSSI with TDIs in 15- to 16-year-old adolescents. This study analysed cross-sectional data from the Research with East London Adolescents Community Health Survey, a prospective population survey of adolescents attending state schools in East London, England. The history of NSSI was obtained using two items from the Lifestyle and Coping questionnaire (whether they have ever engaged with self-harm and the last time they engaged in such behaviours). The presence of TDIs, increased overjet and inadequate lip coverage were determined through clinical assessments by two trained dentists. Survey logistic regression was fitted to test the association of NSSI with TDIs. Odds ratios (ORs) were adjusted for socio-demographic and clinical characteristics as potential confounders. The lifetime and last-year prevalence of NSSI were 11.9% and 6.7%, respectively, whereas the prevalence of TDIs was 16.5%. Neither the lifetime prevalence of NSSI (OR: 1.02, 95% confidence interval: 0.56-1.85) nor the last-year prevalence of NSSI (OR: 0.76, 95% CI: 0.36-1.61) were associated with TDIs in regression models adjusted for confounders. This study did not support an association between history of NSSI and TDIs among adolescents aged 15-16 years old in East London.

Maternal knowledge, coping strategies, and metabolic control of children with type 1 diabetes

BackgroundTrends of type 1 diabetes have increased among Egyptian children in the past two decades. Managing a child with type 1 diabetes is a great challenge for parents especially when the child is not developmentally able to manage the disease independently. This study aimed to determine level of diabetes-specific knowledge among diabetic children’s mothers, measure maternal diabetes-related stress, identify diabetes-related maternal coping strategies, and to examine the effect of maternal diabetes-specific knowledge, maternal diabetes-related stress, and their adopted coping strategy on glycemic control of their children. A cross-sectional study was conducted in outpatient clinic for diabetic children at a university hospital in Cairo, Egypt. One hundred and four mothers of diabetic children were recruited. Diabetes-specific knowledge was measured by Modified Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire. Diabetes-related stress and coping strategies were measured by the Ways of Coping Questionnaire. Glycosylated hemoglobin level was obtained from medical records.Results61.5% of mothers had good diabetes-specific knowledge; however, 45.2% had high levels of diabetes-related stress. The most common adopted maternal coping strategy was acceptance of child’s illness (71.6%). Glycosylated hemoglobin level in diabetic children was negatively correlated with positive and wishful thinking (p = 0.042 and p = 0.010 respectively) and acceptance of illness (p = 0.002), while positively correlated with cognitive restructuring (p = 0.007).ConclusionsHealth education to train mothers to adopt positive coping strategies might maintain a better glycemic control in diabetic children in similar settings.

Effect of internet-based cognitive behaviour therapy among women with negative birth experiences on mental health and quality of life - a randomized controlled trial

BackgroundGiving birth is often a positive experience, but 7–44% have negative experiences and about 4% develop posttraumatic stress disorder following childbirth (PTSD FC). This randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigated the effect of internet-based cognitive behaviour therapy (iCBT) for women with negative birth experiences and/or at risk for PTSD FC.MethodsThis was a superiority nonblinded multicentre RCT comparing iCBT combined with treatment as usual (TAU) with TAU only. Data were collected through questionnaires at baseline, at 6 weeks, 14 weeks and 1 year after randomization. The RCT was conducted at four delivery clinics in Sweden and participants were recruited from September 2013 until March 2018. Women who rated their childbirth experience as negative on a Likert scale, and/or had an immediate caesarean section or a haemorrhage of > 2000 ml were eligible. Primary outcomes were symptoms of posttraumatic stress (Traumatic Event Scale, TES) and symptoms of depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, EPDS). Secondary outcomes were satisfaction with life (Satisfaction With Life Scale, SWLS) and coping (Ways of Coping Questionnaire, WCQ).ResultsOut of 1810 eligible women, 266 women were randomised to iCBT+TAU (n = 132) or to TAU (n = 134). In the iCBT+TAU group 59 (45%) completed the treatment. ICBT+TAU did not reduce PTSD FC at 6 weeks, at 14 weeks, or at 1 year follow-up compared with TAU, according to the TES. Both the ITT and completer analyses showed significant time and quadratic time effects due to reduction of symptoms in both groups on the TES (re-experience subscale) and on the EPDS, and significant time effect on the self-controlling subscale of the WCQ (which increased over time). There was also a significant main effect of group on the SWLS where the TAU group showed higher initial satisfaction with life. Exploratory subgroup analyses (negative birth experience, immediate caesarean section, or severe haemorrhage) showed significant time effects among participants with negative birth experience on re-experience, arousal symptoms and depressive symptoms.ConclusionsThe ICBT intervention did not show superiority as both groups showed similar beneficial trajectories on several outcomes up to 1 year follow-up. This intervention for women with negative birth experiences and/or at risk for PTSD FC was feasible; however, the study suffered from significant drop out rate. Future studies with more narrow inclusion criteria and possibly a modified intervention are warranted.Trial registrationISRCTN39318241. Date for registration 12/01/2017.
