INTRODUCTION: Better self-management can improve treatment outcomes and reduce the number of relapses for patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders. However, the impact of well-being and the home environment on self-management among patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders is unclear in China. This study sought to determine the impact of the home environment, well-being and illness symptoms on self-management during home treatment for patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders. This cross-sectional study was conducted with patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders. Data were collected with SAS, Self-Management Scale for People with Anxiety Disorders and Index of Well-being. Frequency, percentage, analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis and multiple linear regression analyses were used. Home environment (p< .001), self-perceived quality of life (p=.015), well-being index (p=.002) and SAS total score (p=.033) had a major impact on self-management in patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders (n=245). Family disharmony, poor self-perceived quality of life, high SAS scores and low levels of well-being were significant influences on self-management among people diagnosed with anxiety disorders.

A fatherless South Africa: The importance of missional parenting and the role of the church

This article employs descriptive and explorative methods concerning father absence and missional parenting. It identifies numerous ramifications caused by father absence and the failing role of men. Father absence has been a serious social issue in South Africa, which has become more tenacious in post-colonial South Africa because of economic reasons, untold fatherhood, refused fatherhood, fatherhood accountability, divorce and dissolution of households. This social issue influenced and affected both family and society dysfunction and created a vicious cycle of poverty in many South African homes. This article aimed to lessen the predicament of fatherlessness by considering the role of missional parenting where the father and mother form a partnership and collaborate for the family’s progress and actualise God’s pre-eminent plan for families in South Africa. The literature review and methodology provided rich insights and considerable knowledge to help support families who do not have a father figure and men in their fatherly role. Missional parenting is gospel-centred and can be a detriment to father absence. Parents follow the example of Jesus Christ as saviour in missional parenting.Contribution: This article employed a descriptive and explorative modus operandi and explored a respective method to effectuate family disharmony in the context of South Africa.

Effects of family disintegration on children later depression

Studies examining the effects of marital dissolution on children's welfare have repeatedly found that children of separated parents perform worse on several well-being parameters than those from intact households. Depression is highly represented in the health care system among children and older offspring of divorced parents. This study utilizes the double ABCX model to examine the relationship between divorce and depression. The goal of the study was to see if divorce is a sound predictor of depression. Divorce was shown to only explain a modest portion of the variation in depression (r^2= .04). This level of variation suggests that other than divorce, various additional variables have a role in depression. The study closes with the indication that if additional moderating variables such as the child's maturity and availability of household resources before and after dissolution were encompassed in the analysis, divorce would become a stronger risk factor for depression. Family disharmony may be linked to a higher incidence of severe depressive illness in children of divorced parents.

Perkawinan Dalam Perspektif Tasawuf

This dissertation discusses Marriage in the perspective of Sufism (Study of analysis of Legislation on Marriage in Indonesia). This is done considering the high divorce rate in Indonesia even though the legislation regarding marriage has been made quite a lot by the government and even the Marriage Law No. 1 of 1974 and the Compilation of Islamic Law have long been enacted. The purpose of this study is to find out why Islamic marriage regulations and legislation in Indonesia have not been able to stem the flow of divorce and family disharmony, and what solutions can be offered in minimizing divorce in Indonesia, as well as how to establish marriage law with the Sufism approach. The process of collecting data is done by means of library research (Library Research). The reading material is described and analyzed using qualitative methods so that the causes of the high divorce rate in Indonesia are found. After the discussion, two main problems were found, namely formal problems and non-formal problems. Formal problems are problems that are related to the rules and regulations of marriage itself. While non-formal problems are problems that arise from the personal members of each family. To overcome problems related to formal problems, the solution offered is the need to review several articles in the Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974 and need to revive the functions of the Marriage Advisory Counseling and Conservation Agency (BP4) as before the Marriage Law Number 1 year 1974. Meanwhile, to overcome problems related to non-formal problems, it is necessary to give Sufism teachings to the bride and groom who are delivered when they attend bride and groom courses organized by the Ministry of Religion throughout Indonesia. In order to establish marriage law with the Sufism approach, the connection between Sufism values and laws in the frame of benefit is needed. For this reason, the values of Sufism such as warak and zuhud and qonaah and so on need to be developed and integrated in connection with marriage law. The interconnection of the values of Sufism with marriage law is needed in numbers to minimize the divorce rate in Indonesia. &#x0D; Keywords: Marriage law, Sufism

Gender Variation and Late-life Depression: Findings from a National Survey in the USA.

Based on the Wave 3 National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (2015–2016), this study has extensive breadth in examining the roles of multiple stressors (i.e., health-related, social relationship, community) and coping resources (i.e., social participation and social support from family and friends) in explaining depressive symptomatology among a recent cohort of the U.S. national sample of community-dwelling older men (n = 1,431) and women (n = 1,673). Statistical additive and interactive models were tested. Results from this pre-COVID study serve as a baseline, and show that gender had significant independent and joint effects on stress and coping factors in explaining depressive symptoms. Parallel regression analyses were conducted for each group. Findings suggest that significantly more women (26.9%) reported depressive symptoms than men (19.9%) (CESD-11 score ≥ 9). Multivariate analyses show that unique predictors for older men’s depression include less support from friends, more cognitive challenges, and feeling less control in life. For women, less social participation, less emotional support from spouse, greater IADL impairment, and family disharmony were more significantly associated with their depressive symptoms than men’s. Contrary to the literature, community factors were not statistically significant in predicting depressive symptoms. Findings suggest that correlates of depressive symptoms impact older women and men differently. Results point to the need for gender-sensitive mental health services and programs to protect community-dwelling older adults in USA against depression, especially in light of the recent COVID era social proximity restrictions.

Mast cell‑mediated neuroinflammation may have a role in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (Review)

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental and behavioral disorder with a serious negative impact on the quality of life from childhood until adulthood, which may cause academic failure, family disharmony and even social unrest. The pathogenesis of ADHD has remained to be fully elucidated, leading to difficulties in the treatment of this disease. Genetic and environmental factors contribute to the risk of ADHD development. Certain studies indicated that ADHD has high comorbidity with allergic and autoimmune diseases, with various patients with ADHD having a high inflammatory status. Increasing evidence indicated that mast cells (MCs) are involved in the pathogenesis of brain inflammation and neuropsychiatric disorders. MCs may cause or aggravate neuroinflammation via the selective release of inflammatory factors, interaction with glial cells and neurons, activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis or disruption of the blood-brain barrier integrity. In the present review, the notion that MC activation may be involved in the occurrence and development of ADHD through a number of ways is discussed based on previously published studies. The association between MCs and ADHD appears to lack sufficient evidence at present and this hypothesis is considered to be worthy of further study, providing a novel perspective for the treatment of ADHD.
