Loneliness and Mortality Risk Among Cancer Survivors in the United States: A Retrospective, Longitudinal Study.

Loneliness, a subjective feeling of being isolated, is a prevalent concern for elderly people and more so among cancer survivors because a cancer diagnosis and its subsequent treatment may result in long-term adverse health effects. This study aimed to examine the association of loneliness and mortality risk among cancer survivors in the United States. We identified a longitudinal cohort of cancer survivors aged ≥50 years from the nationally representative panel surveys of the 2008-2018 Health and Retirement Study. Follow-up for vital status was through 2020. Loneliness was measured using an 11-item abbreviated version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3), including questions about lacking companionship and feeling isolated from others. A score was assigned according to the responses to each question, with 1 for least lonely, 2 for moderately lonely, and 3 for the loneliest option. Items were summed to create total loneliness scores for each individual, which were categorized into 4 levels: 11-12 (low/no loneliness), 13-15 (mild loneliness), 16-19 (moderate loneliness), and 20-33 (severe loneliness) based on the sample distribution. Time-varying Cox proportional hazard models with age as a time scale were used to examine the association of loneliness and survival among cancer survivors. A total of 3,447 cancer survivors with 5,808 person-years of observation were included, with 1,402 (24.3%), 1,445 (24.5%), 1,418 (23.6%), and 1,543 (27.6%) reporting low/no, mild, moderate, and severe loneliness, respectively. Compared with survivors reporting low/no loneliness, survivors reporting greater loneliness had a higher mortality risk, with the highest adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) among the loneliest group (aHR, 1.67 [95% CI, 1.25-2.23]; P=.004) following a dose-response association. Elevated loneliness was associated with a higher mortality risk among cancer survivors. Programs to screen for loneliness among cancer survivors and to provide resources and support are warranted, especially considering the widespread social distancing that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hubungan Social Support Dengan Tingkat Kesepian Lanjut Usia Pada Latar Belakang Pedesaan Di Kabupaten Bogor

The solidarity life of mechanical communities in rural areas generally has closer social ties than organic communities in urban areas. It seems to be a gap between what is expected and reality if rural mechanical solidarity is still able to make the elderly feel lonely in the midst of deep-rooted social ties. This study aims to determine the relationship between social support and the level of loneliness of the elderly using THE MPSS scale and UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3. This quantitative study involved 91 elderly participants in Barengkok Village, Bogor Regency. Parametric analysis to see the relationship between independent and dependent variables using Pearson Product Moment. The results showed a negative correlation (r = -0.629 and p = 0.000) which indicates that if social support increases, the level of loneliness decreases. The implication of this study is that the elderly need to be given social support either from a partner, family or friends so that the elderly do not feel lonely.

Internetinės pažinčių programėlės: kaip vyro patrauklumo vertinimas priklauso nuo jo atsiskleidimo ir moterų vienišumo lygio

The link between self-disclosure and attractiveness is well-researched, yet studies often overlook the rater’s loneliness, a potentially vital aspect in this dynamic. The aim of this study is to examine how women evaluate a man’s social and physical attractiveness in dating app profiles based on disclosed personal information. Additionally, it explores the connection between women’s feelings of loneliness and their assessment of social attractiveness in this context. 90 students, aged from 19 to 26, participated in the study. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups. All groups were presented with the same two photographs of a man but differed in the amount and depth of information presented next to each one (high, optimal, and no exposure). The UCLA Loneliness Scale (version 3) was used to measure loneliness, and the Interpersonal Attractiveness Scale was used to measure attractiveness. The study discovered that women rated a man disclosing an optimal amount of information as more physically attractive than one sharing excessive details. There were no between-group differences in ratings of a man’s social attractiveness. Although social attractiveness ratings correlated negatively with women’s loneliness (r = -0.32), loneliness did not significantly influence social attractiveness ratings based on disclosure levels.

MENTAL HEALTH AND TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION AMONG MEXICAN AMERICAN INFORMAL CAREGIVERS FOR PATIENTS WITH ADRD

Abstract Background The number of Latinos with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD) is expected to rise to 1.3 million by 2050. Mexican Americans with ADRD rely heavily on unpaid informal care. The use of information communication technology (ICT) among caregivers is associated with significant improvements in mental health and social support. However, current ICT studies focus mainly on White American caregivers. This study fills the gap. Method: From November 2021 to November 2022, we collected 115 surveys, of which 11 were collected from in-person interviews at a clinic and 104 were collected online. The survey included the UCLA Loneliness Scale version 3, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D), and the Online Social Support Scale. Results The participants, aged from 18 to 82 and have cared for their family members with ADRD for two years on average. About 70.4% of them use the internet daily. The results indicated that the more time spent on Instagram, YikYak, and first-person shooter online games, the higher depression the participants had. Also, the more first-person shooter online games they use, the higher is their loneliness. Other social media use is not related to loneliness or depression. Conclusion This study suggests that it is necessary to explore an appropriate internet-based ICT for Mexican American informal caregivers to reduce their loneliness and depression. Future research needs to examine their feelings and reflections on using internet-based ICT and discern how their caregiver’s role and Latino culture affect the utilization of technology.

Prevalence and factors associated with smartphone addiction among nursing postgraduates during the COVID-19 pandemic: a multilevel study from China’s mainland

BackgroundSmartphone addiction is prevalent among college students, and there is a concern that the COVID-19 pandemic may bring an increased prevalence of smartphone addiction due to constant online classes and repeat quarantine policies. This study aims to assess the prevalence and influencing factors of smartphone addiction among Chinese nursing postgraduates during the pandemic by examining variables, including loneliness, perceived stress, resilience, and sense of security.MethodsThis online cross-sectional survey recruited 224 nursing postgraduates in four cities in 2022, using Smartphone Addiction Scale for College Students, the Chinese version of Perceived Stress Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3, Chinese version of the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Security Questionnaire. Hierarchical regression analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed to explore the associated factors and predictors of smartphone addiction.ResultsDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the prevalence of smartphone addiction was 10.41%. There was a positive correlation between smartphone addiction and loneliness, perceived stress (P < 0.001), and a negative relationship with resilience and sense of security (P < 0.001). The logistic regression analysis identified five risk factors that contribute to smartphone addiction, including daily duration of using a smartphone (3–5 h) (OR = 11.085, 95%CI = 1.21–101.79), numbers of smartphone (OR = 3.704, 95%CI = 1.33–10.30), perceived stress (OR = 1.163, 95%CI = 1.06–1.28), loneliness (OR = 1.071, 95%CI = 1.01–1.13), age of using a smartphone first time (OR = 0.754, 95%CI = 0.60–0.95). Two protective factors, resilience (OR = 1.098, 95%CI = 1.01–1.20) and sense of security (OR = 0.950, 95%CI = 0.90–1.00), were identified.ConclusionsCollectively, our study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, smartphone addiction was prevalent among nursing postgraduates, and loneliness and perceived stress are important risk factors for smartphone addiction. Therefore, administrators should adopt targeted interventions to reduce smartphone addiction and the negative impacts on the psychological well-being of nursing postgraduates during a sudden outbreak of a national epidemic crisis.

Mental Health Psychoeducation to Develop Elderly's Psychological Welfare in Mandalamekar Village Cimenyan District

Old age is characterized by various physical and psychological changes, which can significantly impact how seniors adapt to their circumstances. However, it is more likely that the characteristics of old age lead to positive adjustments rather than negative ones, and contribute to happiness rather than misery. Despite this, loneliness remains a prevalent psychological disorder experienced by the elderly. Several factors, such as children becoming adults and leaving for school or the death of a spouse, can contribute to feelings of loneliness. To address this issue, treatment for loneliness is necessary. Group counseling and religious psychoeducation are effective methods employed to tackle loneliness among the elderly. Through group counseling and religious psychoeducation, the elderly can experience a sense of togetherness and openly discuss the problems they face. The religious psychoeducation sessions, focusing on patience and prayer, aim to instill new hopes and coping strategies to address their challenges. The UCLA Loneliness Scale version 3 is used to measure the level of loneliness in the elderly participating in this service. The results demonstrate that group counseling and religious psychoeducation have a positive impact, leading to a decrease in the level of loneliness experienced by the elderly. This is evident from the paired t-test results, indicating a significance value of 2 tailed below 0.05.&#x0D; Keywords: loneliness, patience, group counseling, religious psychoeducation, elderly

The era of digital development was also followed by the rapid development of information technology, one of information technology is social media. this research is a quantitative research with correlation research design. The population of this study were students of the Teaching and Education Faculty of Muhammadiyah University of Palopo. The sample in this study was 171 people who were selected using a purposive sampling technique with the criteria of having Instagram accounts and active Instagram users. The measuring instrument used in this research is the tendency to use Instagram by using the Del Bario scale, whereas sensation seeking uses the sensation-seeking scale form v, and loneliness is measured by using the UCLA Loneliness scale version 3. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis techniques with the assistance of SPSS 20 program for windows. The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between emotional loneliness and the tendency to use Instagram (p value = 0.001 0.05) is in the weak category and the direction of positive correlation. Sensation seeking also has a relationship with the tendency to use Instagram (p value = 0.000 0.05) is in the weak category and the direction of a positive correlation, which means that the higher the level of emotional loneliness, the higher the tendency to use Instagram in adolescents, as well as sensation seeking, which means that the higher the level of sensation seeking, the higher the level of tendency to use Instagram in adolescents. Thus it can be concluded that the two variables, which are emotional loneliness (X1) and sensation seeking (X2) have a relationship with the tendency to use Instagram (Y).

Relationships between Loneliness and Occupational Dysfunction in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The study explored cross-sectional associations between loneliness and occupational dysfunction in community-dwelling older adults. Seventy-four older adults (12 men and 62 women; mean age 73.9 ± 8.3 years) completed a questionnaire survey that included the Japanese version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 and the Classification and Assessment of Occupational Dysfunction (CAOD). Bayesian statistical modeling was used for a more stable estimation given the small sample. For model selection, we assumed a univariate analysis model of the CAOD (Model 1); a multivariate analysis model, including confounding factors in Model 1 (Model 2); and a multivariate analysis model, including random effects in Model 2 (Model 3). The best model was selected by comparing the widely applicable information criterion (WAIC) and the widely applicable Bayesian information criterion (WBIC) for each model. Bayesian statistics with the dependent variable as "loneliness" showed that the best model used "occupational dysfunction" as the independent variable and included confounding factors and random effects (WAIC = 474.5 and WBIC = 213.1). The best model identified an association between occupational dysfunction and loneliness (odds ratio [OR] = 2.363; 95% Bayesian confidence interval [CI] = 1.105-5.259). This study highlights the role of occupational dysfunction in addition to the risks and related factors reported to date when dealing with loneliness. Therapists could help older adults cope with loneliness by supporting their social participation and improving their occupational dysfunction.

The Relationship between Stress and Loneliness with Depression in the Elderly People

Introduction: Depression is a condition that can cause elderly people to experience mental or emotional disorders due to stress and loneliness. Stress is something that can disturb the elderly caused by anxiety and loneliness due to changes in roles in the family or in their lives. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between stress and loneliness with depression in elderly people in Banjar Kawan, Tampaksiring, Bali.&#x0D; Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with 68 elderlies recruited as respondents based on inclusion criteria by using purposive sampling techniques.

The results of this study showed that most of the respondents aged 64 years, female, last education was elementary school, marital status was married with an income of &lt; IDR 500,000.&#x0D; Results: The correlation results showed a significantly weak positive correlation between stress and depression (r = 0.284, p = 0.019) and loneliness with depression (r = 0.254, p = 0.037). The results of multiple linear regression showed that stress (β = 0.266) has the most effect on the occurrence of depression compared to loneliness (β = 0.039) so the higher the stress felt, the higher the symptoms of depression in the elderly.&#x0D; Conclusion: It is hoped that the elderly could improve their health by actively participating in many activities in order to prevent the symptoms of depression from getting worse.

Internet addiction and its relationship with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, anxiety and stress among university students in Malaysia.

There is growing evidence on the contribution of psychological factors to internet addiction; yet it remains inconsistent and deserves further exploration. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the psychological symptoms (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms, stress, depression, anxiety and loneliness) and internet addiction (IA) among the university students in Malaysia. A total of 480 students from different faculties in a Malaysian public university participated in this study. They were selected by simple random sampling method. They completed self-administered questionnaires including the Malay Version of Internet Addiction Test (MVIAT)) to measure internet addiction and Adult Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Symptom Checklist, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) and UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3) to assess for ADHD symptoms, depression, anxiety, stress, and loneliness respectively. The prevalence of IA among university students was 33.33% (n = 160). The respondents' mean age was 21.01 ± 1.29 years old and they were predominantly females (73.1%) and Malays (59.4%). Binary logistic regression showed that gender (p = 0.002; OR = 0.463, CI = 0.284-0.754), ADHD inattention (p = 0.003; OR = 2.063, CI = 1.273-3.345), ADHD hyperactivity (p<0.0001; OR = 2.427, CI = 1.495-3.939), stress (p = 0.048; OR = 1.795, CI = 1.004-3.210) and loneliness (p = 0.022; OR = 1.741, CI = 1.084-2.794) were significantly associated with IA. A third of university students had IA. In addition, we found that those who were at risk of IA were males, with ADHD symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity, who reported stress and loneliness. Preventive strategy to curb internet addiction and its negative sequelae may consider these factors in its development and implementation.

Associations of loneliness and mortality risk among cancer survivors in the United States.

6531 Background: Loneliness (i.e., the subjective feeling of being isolated from others), has been linked to multiple adverse health outcomes, including chronic conditions such as heart disease, mental health disorders, and higher risk for early mortality. However, associations between loneliness and worse health outcomes have not been thoroughly examined in cancer survivors. This study examined associations between loneliness and mortality risk among cancer survivors in the U.S. Methods: Cancer survivors were identified from the 2008-2018 Health and Retirement Study, a nationally representative longitudinal survey conducted biannually among individuals aged ≥50 years, with follow-up was through December 31, 2020. Loneliness was measured at every 4 years using an abbreviated 11-item version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3. Example items include feelings of lacking companionship and isolation from others. Items were summed to create total loneliness scores, which were categorized into four levels: 11-12 (low/no loneliness), 13-15 (mild loneliness), 16-19 (moderate loneliness), and 20-33 (high loneliness). Time-varying Cox proportional hazard models were used to examine the association of loneliness and mortality risk among cancer survivors, while accounting for measurements at multiple time points. Sex, marital status, educational attainment, number of health conditions other than cancer, and year since cancer diagnosis were included in multivariable models. Results: Among 5808 person-years, there were 724 deaths during the study period. Compared to the low/no loneliness group, survivors reporting greater loneliness had higher hazard ratios (HR), indicating higher mortality risks; the highest HR observed was among the high loneliness group (HR:1.90, 95%CI:1.58-2.29), following a dose-response association (Table). HRs were attenuated after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, but findings were largely unchanged, and HRs remained highest for the high loneliness group (HR:1.71, 95%CI:1.39-2.12). Conclusions: Any elevated loneliness was associated with higher mortality risks among cancer survivors. Programs to screen for loneliness among cancer survivors and to provide social support to those in need are warranted. [Table: see text]

The 100 Top-Cited Studies on Loneliness: A Bibliometric Analysis.

The present study explores characteristics of the top 100 most-cited articles on loneliness.

Two authors independently screened the literature and extracted the data. The study supervisor removed any discrepancies. Top 100 papers (articles and reviews) on loneliness published in English were extracted. Data analysis and visualization were performed on Excel, Web of Science (WoS) Data Analyzer, and VOSviewer 1.6.16. The total number of citations of the 100 top-cited articles was 42,044, ranging from 203 to 2,201 per article. All of the studies were published from 1989 to 2021, and the years with the highest number of top-cited articles published were 2003 and 2008. Most publications were from the following journals: Computers in Human Behavior, Developmental Psychology, Psychological Science, Psychology, and Aging (n=4 each). The most cited article was titled "UCLA Loneliness Scale (Version 3): Reliability, validity, and factor structure" by Russell, DW, in the Journal of Personality Assessment. The most productive institute was the University of Chicago. The two most productive authors were Cacioppo, JT, and Hawkley, LC. Of the 100 top-cited publications, 87 were original articles and 13 were reviews. The top three WoS categories were psychology multidisciplinary, gerontology, and psychiatry. In total, 37 author keywords were elicited and further clubbed into eight distinct clusters. The study provides new insight into loneliness research, which may help doctors, researchers, and stakeholders achieve a more comprehensive understanding of trends and influential contributions to the field and highlight under-researched areas, which could be the basis for future investigation.

Suicide risk among residents in a cross-sectional study: the role of the Interpersonal Psychological Theory of Suicide

IntroductionThe peculiar requests of postgraduate teaching could affect the students’ lives, predisposing them to mental disorders and suicide risk (e.g. Abreu et al., 2021). The Interpersonal Psychological Theory of Suicide (IPTS) (Joiner, 2005) is a model that has proved useful in explaining this risk.ObjectivesWe analyzed risk factors associated with current suicidal ideation (SI) and history of suicidal planning and/or suicide attempt (SP/SA) in a sample of 97 Italian residents in psychological (n= 17, 17.5%) and medical and health care area (n=80, 82.5%) (mean age 29.18±3.25 SD).MethodsSocio-demographic, psychological (i.e. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory – II; BDI-II, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Reasons For Living Inventory; RFL, Psychache Scale, Mental pain questionnaire; MPQ, Visual Analogue Scale - VAS - on mental pain, Acquired Capability for Suicide Scale-Fearlessness About Death) psychosocial (i.e. Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire; INQ, UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support; MSPSS) and somatic pain features (i.e. VAS, Pain Vigilance and Awareness Questionnaire; Self-Awareness Questionnaire; SAQ) were collected through an online questionnaire. We compared residents with SI vs No SI and residents with SP/SA vs No SP/SA and the emerged significant variables, have been inserted in logistic regression models with stepwise method, backward elimination.ResultsThe presence of depression (BDI-II), low reasons for living (RFL), psychological pain (Psychache Scale and MPQ), interoceptive awareness (SAQ), Thwarted Belongingness (TB, INQ subscale), loneliness (UCLA) and low perceived social support (MSPSS) were associated with both current SI and history of SP/SA. Concerning regression models, TB (INQ) increased the likelihood of SI while Survival and Coping Beliefs (RFL subscale) reduced it. The model explained 49% of the variance of SI by correctly predicting 88.7% of SI cases. Perceived social support (MSPSS)reduced the likelihood of current SP/SA levels while interoceptive awareness (SAQ) increased it. This model explained 40% of the variance of SP/SA by correctly predicting 82.5% of suicide risk cases.ConclusionsWe have identified risk and protective factors for suicide, consistent with the IPTS, which can orient the prevention, evaluation and clinical treatment of residents.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Fear of COVID-19 and future orientation: Different profiles in dealing with the pandemic and associations with loneliness and posttraumatic growth.

This study aimed to examine the profiles of reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic based on the combination of fear and future orientation, as well as their sociodemographic, situational, and relational predictors. We also compared posttraumatic growth between the profiles. A sample of 640 Italian participants completed the Multidimensional Assessment of COVID-19-Related Fears (MAC-RF), the Future Orientation Scale (FOS), the UCLA Loneliness Scale-Version 3, and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI). Latent profile analysis indicated a 4-class solution as the best-fitting model. The first profile ("Detached") comprised 9.9% of the sample and was characterized by both low fear and future orientation. The second profile ("Hopeful") concerned 49.9% of the sample and it featured low fear and high future orientation. The third profile ("Constructively Preoccupied") involved 35.5% of the sample and was distinguished by high fear and high future orientation. The fourth profile ("Fearful") included 4.6% of the sample and was marked by high fear and low future orientation. Multinomial logistic regressions indicated that the female gender was more likely to be associated with the Constructively Preoccupied profile, while older age was more likely to be associated with the Hopeful one. Higher perceived loneliness was associated with all profiles except the Hopeful. Results of comparisons showed substantial differences in posttraumatic growth between the profiles. The Constructively Preoccupied profile showed the greatest posttraumatic growth. Overall, these results point out the various profile of reaction to the pandemic and that adopting a person-oriented approach could enhance their grasp.
