Psychological Well-being and Perceived Stress among Antenatal Mothers

Pregnancy is a beautiful period in a woman’s life, but it also brings a fair amount of stress on her part. The study was conducted to fulfil the aim of assessing Psychological well-being and Perceived stress among antenatal mothers in selected communities in Sonitpur district of Assam. Non-experimental cross-sectional quantitative research approach was used in the present study to accomplish the objectives. Purposive sampling technique was used for selecting the sub-centers and all the antenatal mothers available during data collection period and fulfilling inclusion criteria were taken for the study. Data was collected from thirty-two (32) antenatal mothers who were residing in selected community areas of Sonitpur district of Assam. Written informed consent was taken from the participants who fulfilled the sample selection criteria. Clarifications were made regarding the main purpose of the study before the administration of tools. The study was undertaken with the permission of the FRC and Institute Ethics Committee of LGB Regional Institute of Mental health (LGBRIMH), Tezpur. A socio-demographic proforma, Psychological General Well-being Schedule (PGWB), and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was used to collect the data. The collected data were analyzed using the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. The findings showed that the majority of the antenatal mothers (78.1%) were of the Hinduism religion and 53.1% of them were living in a Joint family. The majority (81.3%) considered their Husband as their immediate support system. The majority (81.3%) of the respondents were in 13-28 weeks of their pregnancy. The majority of the participants (81.3%) were not having history of complications in the previous pregnancies. Most of the participants (53.1%) had a planned pregnancy. In the present study, no significant association was found between Psychological General Well-being and Perceived Stress with selected Socio-demographic variables. In the present study a negative correlation (r= -0.454 and p

Family care and subjective well-being of coronary heart disease patients after percutaneous coronary intervention: Mediating effects of coping strategies

ObjectivesTo analyze the correlations between family care, coping strategies and the subject well-being (SWB) of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MethodsFrom November 2019 to October 2020, 264 CHD patients who had undergone PCI were enrolled in this questionnaire survey. The research tools applied included General Information Questionnaire, the Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection and Resolve, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, and the General Well-being Schedule. SPSS 24.0 and Amos 23.0 software packages were used for statistical analysis. ResultsThe mean scores for family care, confrontation, avoidance, acceptance-resignation and SWB, were 7.59 ± 2.24, 20.03 ± 3.78, 16.49 ± 2.70, 10.42 ± 2.01, and 73.31 ± 11.63, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that the path coefficient between family care and subjective well-being was higher in males than females. Family care was directly related to coping strategies. The coping strategies were directly related to SWB, while family care showed an indirect association with SWB via coping strategies. ConclusionsFamily care can improve CHD patients’ SWB post-PCI, and coping strategies are important for the link between family care and SWB. Also, men received more family care than women. Based on a patient's characteristics, healthcare providers can promote patients’ positive coping strategies, increase their perceived family care, and improve the patient's SWB.

Work engagement and associated factors among dental nurses in China

BackgroundWork engagement is affected by many factors. The level of work engagement among dental nurses is unknown.MethodsA cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 215 dental nurses. The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, Chinese Nurse Stressors Scale, Work-related Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Multi-dimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and General Well-Being Schedule were applied to measure Chinese nurses’ work engagement, job stress, psychological flexibility, perceived social support and subjective well-being, respectively. Univariate analysis was used to identify the relationships of work engagement with demographic and psychological characteristics. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was applied to test the variance in work engagement accounted for by factors related to work engagement in the univariate analysis.ResultsThe level of work engagement among Chinese dental nurses was moderate or above. Work engagement was positively associated with perceived social support, psychological flexibility and subjective well-being but negatively correlated with job stress. The hierarchical regression analysis showed that age, job stress, psychological flexibility and subjective well-being were significantly correlated with work engagement, though perceived social support was not, all of those psychological variables together explained 34.7% of the variance in work engagement.ConclusionsDental nurses in China had an acceptable level of work engagement in terms of vigour, dedication and absorption. Increased job stress resulted in lower work engagement. Nurses who had higher levels of perceived social support, psychological flexibility and subjective well-being also had higher work engagement. It is necessary to understand the job stress of nurses, strengthen nurses’ social support, relieve nurses’ job stress, improve nurses’ psychological flexibility and subjective well-being, which will improve nurses’ work engagement levels.

The mediating effect of psychological resilience on the level of mindfulness and general well-being in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increases annually, and IBD patients may experience various psychological symptoms. People with higher levels of psychological resilience tend to cope with negative events in a positive way. So here we explored the correlation of mindfulness level, psychological resilience, and general well-being in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the mediating effect of psychological resilience on mindfulness level and happiness in IBD. Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RICS), and General Well-Being Schedule (GWB) were used for investigation among the randomly selected IBD patients. Pearson correlation analysis and the structural equation model by Amos 24.0 were applied to explore the relationship between mindfulness level, psychological resilience, and general well-being. The mediating effect of psychological resilience was detected by bootstrap method. A total of 159 of the 184 distributed questionnaires were recovered (recovery rate 73.3%), and 135 of them were used for subsequent investigations. In IBD patients, the score of mindfulness level, psychological resilience, and general well-being were (119.95±8.64), (58.37±19.32), and (73.59±13.88), respectively. Both male and female score were lower than ordinary model (52.7% and 42.9%, respectively). Pearson results displayed that mindfulness level (r=0.312-0.390, P<0.01) and overall well-being (r=0.490-0.590, P<0.01) were positively related to psychological resilience and its 3 dimensions, respectively. Similarly, mindfulness level was positively correlated with overall well-being (r=0.391, P<0.01). Mediating effect of psychological resilience between mindfulness level and overall well-being was 0.232 (P=0.001). The 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of psychological resilience as mediating effect (59.3% of total) was (0.138 to 0.332). We concluded that psychological resilience in IBD patients has a partially mediating effect between mindfulness level and overall well-being.

Relationships of professional identity and psychological reward satisfaction with subjective well-being among Chinese nurses.

This study aimed at exploring the impact of professional identity and psychological reward satisfaction on subjective well-being and clarifying the effect of psychological reward satisfaction on this relationship. People know little about the effect of psychological reward satisfaction on the relationship between professional identity and subjective well-being. A cross-sectional survey was carried out on 1,009 nurses from Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province of China. Professional Identity Scale, Psychological Reward Satisfaction Scale and General Well-Being Schedule were used to assess professional identity, psychological reward satisfaction and subjective well-being, respectively. Associations were explored by using structural equation modelling. The subjective well-being of 436 (43.2%) nurses was at low and moderate levels. After the adjustment of potential confounding factors, professional identity was still associated with subjective well-being (B=3.035, β=0.215, p<.001). Professional identity (r=.308) and psychological reward satisfaction (r=.309) were positively correlated with subjective well-being. Psychological reward satisfaction mediated the association between professional identity and subjective well-being (effect=0.114, p<.001). This study suggested that the subjective well-being of nurses should be improved by paying special attention to them and taking targeted support measures. Nursing managers can help enhance the professional identity of nurses by organising nursing education activities, and pay more attention to psychological reward satisfaction to improve the subjective well-being of nurses.

The Relationship Between the Use of Mobile Social Media and Subjective Well-Being: The Mediating Effect of Boredom Proneness.

ObjectiveThis study took users of short-form mobile videos as research participants to explore the role of their boredom proneness in mediating the relationship between the use of mobile social media (UMSM) and subjective well-being (SWB).MethodsA sample of 656 users was evaluated by the Problematic Mobile Social Media Usage Assessment Questionnaire, General Well-Being Schedule, and Boredom Proneness Scale.ResultsFirstly, significant interactions were found between monthly living expenses and the UMSM of the participants, which were recognized as factors affecting SWB. Secondly, the level of living expenses had little effect on the high-level and low-level groups of the UMSM but imposed a significant impact on the medium-level group. Thirdly, the UMSM showed an influence that could positively predict boredom; both the UMSM and boredom demonstrated a negative predictive effect on SWB.ConclusionThe findings indicate that the inappropriate use of mobile social media negatively affects users’ subjective well-being; boredom partially mediated the relationship between the use of mobile social media and SWB.

Preoperative communication with anesthetists via anesthesia service platform (ASP) helps alleviate patients\u2019 preoperative anxiety

Female gender has been identified as one of the risk factors closely linked to perioperative anxiety and a lower level of satisfaction. A successful preoperative anesthesia education may improve such negative outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether preoperative anesthesia education via an Anesthesia Service Platform (ASP) could reduce the anxiety levels in female patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia, and accelerate rehabilitation. A total of 222 patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly assigned to the control group and the ASP group. Patients’ baseline and post-intervention psychological status was measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and General Well-Being Schedule. Pain management and recovery were assessed by VAS every 12 h for 48 h after surgery; length of stay (LOS) and postoperative analgesic consumption were also assessed. Patients in the control group experienced higher anxiety levels before surgery and had longer LOS than those in the ASP group. Patients in the ASP group had a higher general well-being score; however, they suffered more pain and consumed more analgesics after surgery. ASP is effective for preventing anxiety in female patients before laparoscopic cholecystectomy, improving patients’ general well-being levels, and shortening their LOS, but negatively influences patients’ postoperative pain levels.

Impact of the COVID-19 Epidemic on Lifestyle Behaviors and Their Association With Subjective Well-Being Among the General Population in Mainland China: Cross-Sectional Study.

BackgroundThe world is experiencing an unprecedented challenge due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. However, it is unclear whether people’s lifestyles will change as a result.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to explore perceived lifestyle changes after the outbreak of COVID-19 and their association with subjective well-being (SWB) among the general population in Mainland China.MethodsAn online survey was conducted in May 2020. Lifestyle behaviors including leisure-time physical exercise, leisure-time screen time, and dietary intake were self-reported. SWB was measured using the General Wellbeing Schedule (GWS). Other covariates including sociodemographic factors, self-rated physical health, perceived social support, and loneliness were also assessed by a structured questionnaire. A multivariate ordinal regression method was used to analyze the association between SWB and lifestyle behaviors as well as perceived lifestyle changes.ResultsA total of 1033 participants aged between 18 and 60 years were included in this study. The mean GWS score was 71.7 points. About 70% of the respondents reported spending more time looking at screens, whereas about 30% reported an increased frequency of vegetable and fruit intake after the outbreak of COVID-19. Inactive physical exercise (odds ratio [OR] 1.16, 95% CI 1.02-1.48), infrequent vegetable intake (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.10-1.90), infrequent fruit intake (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.01-1.70), and often skipping breakfast (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.08-1.91) were associated with lower SWB after adjusting for sociodemographic factors, self-rated physical health, perceived social support, and loneliness. Moreover, participants who perceived a decrease in the frequency of vegetable, fruit, and breakfast intake were more likely to report lower SWB.ConclusionsThe COVID-19 pandemic may have positive and negative impacts on different aspects of lifestyle behaviors. Both unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and negative lifestyle changes were associated with lower SWB. These findings provide scientific evidence that can inform lifestyle guidelines and public mental health interventions during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Association between work-family conflict and overall well-being among Chinese nurse leaders.

To explore the association between work-family conflict and overall well-being among Chinese nurse leaders. Nurse leaders are constantly busy at the clinical frontline, mostly experience high stress levels at work and have little time to spend with the family. There is little evidence to know about the association between work-family conflict and overall well-being, which is essential for high-quality medical care. A cluster sampling method was used to recruit 42 nurse leaders. Data were collected using the Chinese versions of the Multidimensional Work-Family Conflict Scale and the General Well-Being Schedule. Descriptive analyses, independent t tests, ANOVAs and Pearson's correlation were used for the statistical analysis. The mean scores (SD) of work-family conflict and well-being were 2.17 (0.57) and 4.51 (0.61), respectively. Negative correlations were observed with strain-based and behaviour-based work-family conflict and overall well-being. Stress from work-family conflict is positively correlated with the overall well-being of Chinese nurse leaders. Hospital administrators should be aware of specific risk factors and implement accordingly the interventional strategies to decrease the stress levels and improve the overall well-being of nurse leaders.

The Relationship Among Rumination, Coping Strategies, and Subjective Well-being in Chinese Patients With Breast Cancer: A Cross-sectional study

To investigate the relationship between rumination, coping strategies, and subjective well-being (SWB) and test the mediating effects of coping strategies on rumination and SWB in patients with breast cancer (BC). This cross-sectional study assessed rumination, coping strategies, and SWB using the General Well-being Schedule, the Chinese Event-Related Rumination Inventory, and the Medical Coping Modes Questionnairein BC patients admitted to a tertiary general hospital in China. SWB was positively associated with the total score for rumination (r=.32, p<.01), deliberate rumination (r=.75, p<.01), and confrontation (r=.58, p<.01). The relationship between rumination and SWB was mediated by confrontation (indirect effect=.74). BC diagnosis can affect patient's SWB. These findings indicate that rumination and confrontation have direct and indirect effects on SWB. Therefore, psychological interventions focused on improving coping may increase SWB. Notwithstanding, larger longitudinal studies are needed to further examine the relationship between cognitive processes, coping strategies, and SWB.

Pain Catastrophizing in Older Adults with Chronic Pain: The Mediator Effect of Mood Using a Path Analysis Approach.

Cognitive models of pain propose that catastrophic thinking is negatively associated with chronic pain. However, pain catastrophizing is a complex phenomenon requiring a multivariate examination. This study estimates the effects of mood variables (anxiety and depression) on pain catastrophizing in older adults with chronic pain. A postal survey addressing pain aspects was sent to 6611 people ≥ 65 years old living in south-eastern Sweden. Pain catastrophizing was measured using the pain catastrophizing scale. Anxiety and depression were assessed using two subscales of the general well-being schedule. Data were analysed using a path analysis approach. A total of 2790 respondents (76.2 ± 7.4 years old) reported chronic pain (≥three months). The mediation model accounted for 16.3% of anxiety, 17.1% of depression, and 30.9% of pain catastrophizing variances. Pain intensity, insomnia, number of comorbidities, and lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol consumption, and weight) significantly affected both pain catastrophizing and mood. Anxiety (standardized path coefficient (bstd) = 0.324, p < 0.001) in comparison to depression (bstd = 0.125, p < 0.001) had a greater effect on pain catastrophizing. Mood mediated the relationship between pain catastrophizing and pain-related factors accounting for lifestyle and sociodemographic factors.

The Associations of Family Functioning, General Well-Being, and Exercise with Mental Health among End-Stage Renal Disease Patients.

ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the relationships of family functioning, general well-being, and exercise with psychological distress. Furthermore, we investigated the special roles of general well-being and exercise on the association between family functioning and psychological distress. MethodsOf 769 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients participated in the cross-sectional study which consisted of the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), the Family APGAR Scales, and the General Well-Being Schedule. The collected data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis and path analysis. ResultsThe prevalence of psychological distress was 72.3%. Family functioning, general well-being and exercise were associated factors of psychological distress (p<0.05). The indirect effect of family functioning on psychological distress was partially mediated by general well-being (Effect=-0.08, 95% CI=-0.11, -0.04). In addition, the effect of family functioning on general well-being was moderated by exercise (Index=-0.092, SE=0.033, 95% CI=-0.159, -0.029). ConclusionThe prevalence of psychological distress among ESRD patients was high. Family functioning, general well-being and exercise were associated with psychological distress. Family functioning could affect psychological distress partially by affecting general well-being. Furthermore, exercise had a significant moderating effect on the relationship between family functioning and general well-being.

This study examined the relationship between trait mindfulness, loneliness, regulatory emotional self-efficacy, subjective well-being, and the influence of trait mindfulness on loneliness. The participants were 600 college students who completed several scales; the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, The Scale of Regulatory Emotional Self-efficacy, the General Well-Being Schedule, and the Loneliness Scale. It was found that trait mindfulness could significantly but negatively predict college student loneliness.

The Relationship Between Neuroticism Fit and General Well-Being: The Mediating Effect of Psychological Resilience.

BackgroundThe dominance complementarity theory argues that effective and continuing interpersonal relationships require complementary dominance and submission values. This theory has been widely applied to interpersonal interaction studies. Although studies have demonstrated the correlation between neurotic personality traits and general well-being (GWB) in older adults, the interpersonal interactions and psychological mechanisms underlying this effect remain unclear.AimUsing this theory, we explored the effect of the neuroticism fit between older adults and primary caregivers on older adults’ GWB and examined the mediating role of psychological resilience (PR).MethodsOne hundred sixty-one dyads of older adults and primary caregivers in nursing homes completed scales that included the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised Short Scale, the 10-Item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the GWB Schedule. We performed a cross-level polynomial regression, response surface modeling and mediating effect test to analyze the data.Results(1) Older adults’ GWB was higher when the neuroticism fit between older adults and primary caregivers was incongruent rather than congruent (p < 0.01). (2) In cases of incongruence, older adults’ GWB was higher only if their neuroticism was lower than that of their primary caregivers (p < 0.01). (3) In cases of congruence, older adults’ GWB was higher when the neuroticism of both sides was lower (p < 0.01). (4) PR partially mediated the relationship between neuroticism incongruence and older adults’ GWB (indirect effect = 0.14, p < 0.01).ConclusionThe neuroticism incongruence between older adults and primary caregivers was beneficial to older adults’ GWB and was partially mediated by PR.

A preliminary study of efficacy of yoga therapy in anxiety disorders

Anxiety disorders are the most common of all mental health problems and often are chronic requiring ongoing medical or psychiatric care, including psychosocial therapies. Some of the non drug therapies such as Cognitive-behavioral therapy, Relaxation techniques, and bio- feed-back have proved efficacious. There has been a paucity of research on the role of yoga on anxiety disorders. Present paper examines the efficacy of yoga therapy in Anxiety Disorders and this is the preliminary findings of a long term project. Fifteen patients diagnosed suffering from Anxiety disorders (Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorders) according to ICD-10 aged between 20 to 50 years, male and female; mild-moderate categories were recruited and assessed on anxiety severity scale. 6 males and 9 females were randomly assigned to one of the three groups – medication only; medication + yoga; and yoga only. Psychological General Well-Being Schedule, Satisfaction with Life, Anxiety Status Inventory, and Hamilton Anxiety Scale were administered. The physiological parameters such as pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, temperature, oxygen saturation, Body Mass Index were measured at base-line. A package of yoga practices designed to suit patients suffering from anxiety disorders was given. Patients were reassessed at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and at three months. Result showed significant improvement in Medicine+Yoga group while comparing with Medicine only group and Yoga only group. Even though the sample size is small, a combination of medication and yoga therapy reduced anxiety scores indicating the stabilization of mental imbalance.

The Effect of Family Adaptation and Cohesion on the Well-being of Married Women: A Multiple Mediation Effect

In the years since the implementation of the two-child policy in China, there has been an increase in attention to the psychological status of married women. It is necessary to increase knowledge on the association between family cohesion and the adaptation of married women and their well-being. To accomplish this goal, the mediating variables of social support and positive coping style were examined in this paper. Married women were assessed using the Family Adaptation and Cohesion Scale, the General Well-Being Schedule, the Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Positive Coping Style Scale. The 353 participants were married women across three provinces in China. The results indicated that (1) there is a significant positive correlation between family cohesion, adaptation, subjective well-being, age, and employment status; (2) there is a correlation between perceived social support, family adaptation and cohesion, and well-being; and (3) the effect of family cohesion and adaptation on subjective well-being is mediated by perceived social support and positive coping style. Therefore, married women with good family adaptation and cohesion can get adequate support from family members and have higher subjective well-being.

Resettled Bhutanese Refugees in Ottawa: What Coping Strategies Promote Psychological Well-Being?

Background Since 2008, Bhutanese refugees have been resettled in Canada, including Ottawa. This relocation and resettling process is associated with significant physical and psychological stress, as individuals acclimatize to a new country. Purpose To assess the relationship between coping strategies and psychological well-being of Bhutanese refugees resettled in Ottawa. Methods A cross-sectional survey utilizing a convenience sample of adults (n = 110) was conducted in the fall of 2015 in Ottawa. Two tools, Brief COPE and general well-being schedule were used. Results Bhutanese refugees were in moderate distress. Using multiple linear regression, age, education, and three coping strategies (positive reframing, self-blame, and venting) were identified as predictors of general well-being ( F (11, 96) = 3.61, p &lt; .001, R2 = 21.2%). Higher levels of education and positive reframing were associated with greater general well-being scores, while self-blame and well-being between ages 41 and 50 years were inversely associated with general well-being. Conclusions Findings suggest that a broad intersectorial approach between nurses and partner agencies is needed to enhance the mental health of this population for better adjustment in the host country. Nurses could provide support and counseling to minimize the use of self-blame and venting and promote positive coping strategies.

The relationship between job stress and happiness in nurses of three grade A hospitals: mediating role of hope

Objective To explore the status quo of job stress and happiness in nurses of three grade A hospitals and mediation effects of hope between above two elements. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted. The Hope Status Scale, The Nurse's Job Stressor Scale, General Well-Being Schedule and self-designed demographic questionnaire were delivered to 1 200 nurses from nine hospitals. Results The path analysis results showed that the direct effect of job stress on the subjective well-being was -0.193, the indirect effect was (-0.486)×0.456= -0.222, the total effect of working pressure on the subjective well-being was -0.415, the indirect effect of total effect was 53.49%. want direct effect on subjective well-being of 0.456, job stress on the direct effect of hope for -0.486. Conclusion Hope to play an intermediary role between nurses' job stress and subjective happiness. In the process of trying to reduce nurses' job stress, we should make full use of the intermediary significance of hope to help nurses with low level of hope to build hope and improve their happiness level. Key words: Nurse; Job stress; Hope; Happiness

Relationship of subjective well-being with personality trait and self-efficacy in policemen

Objective To explore the relationships of subjective well-being with personality trait and self-efficacy in policemen. Methods Totally 329 policemen from 3 prisons were assessed with General Well-Being Schedule (GWBS), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). The relationship between subjective well-being and personality traits, self-efficacy of policemen was analyzed using correlation analysis, variance analysis, regression analysis and structural equation modeling. Results The personality of extroverted stability had the highest score in GSE(2.74±0.56) and GWB(88.89±11.90), while the introverted instability had the lowest(GSE: (2.19±0.46); GWB: (67.38±13.79)). Psychoticism(2.45±1.72) was negatively correlated with GWB(78.24±15.32) (r=-0.19, P<0.01), neuroticism(5.07±3.31) was negatively correlated with GSE(2.50±0.57) and GWB (r=-0.38, -0.60, all P<0.01), while introversion-extroversion(8.13±2.86) was positively correlated with GSE and WGB (r=0.26, 0.29, all P<0.01). Structural equation model showed that neuroticism negatively influenced GWB (γ=-0.610, P<0.01), and introversion-extroversion positively influenced GWB (γ=0.169, P<0.05). Self-efficacy had partial mediating effect on relationship between neuroticism and GWB as well as the relationship between introversion-extroversion and GWB. Conclusions There is a high correlation between neuroticism and GWB. Self-efficacy plays a mediating role on relationship between personality trait and GWB. It can promote GWB of policemen by enhancing their self-efficacy. Key words: Policemen; Subjective well-being; Personality trait; Self-efficacy
