The Resourceful Adolescent Program is an early intervention program designed to enhance psychological resilience in adolescents with emotional problems. Eight adolescents with high anxious and/or depressive symptoms were treated with this 11-session group program. Treatment effects were examined by means of self-report questionnaires of anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy. Pre- and postintervention data showed reductions in anxiety and depression scores and a concomitant increase in adolescents' self-efficacy.

Aim: The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of suicidal ideation and attempts in patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), evaluating possible risk factors for suicidality. Methods: Risk of suicide was assessed using the Scale for Suicide Ideation (SSI) in 35 patients with bvFTD and 25 controls. Results: According to SSI, 40% of patients with bvFTD had suicidal ideation in comparison to 8% of controls ( P = .009). Four patients with bvFTD have attempted suicide versus none control ( P = .006). Patients with bvFTD with suicide risk showed higher levels of anxiety, depression, stress, and hopelessness than patients without suicide risk ( P < .001). Patients who attempted suicide were younger and had a longer disease duration than those with only suicide ideation. Intriguingly, 40% of patients with parkinsonism presented high level of suicide ideation. Conclusions: Our findings show that patients with bvFTD have a high risk of suicide. Additional studies in larger populations are needed to confirm our results.

We investigated the possible relations of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, a parameter of blood glucose control with scores on anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy for 113 outpatients (55 men and 58 women) with type II diabetes mellitus. The relation between the HbA1c level and the self-efficacy scores as well as with the ratings of anxiety and depression was evaluated. A significant relation was found for the HbA1c level with the scores; however, self-efficacy and anxiety and depression showed no association. These results suggest that HbA1c can be maintained at better levels by increasing self-efficacy of diabetic patients.

Background: The Worldwide resistance prevalence of the first-line TB drug, rifampicin (RR-TB), in 2017 was 7.4 per 100,000 population, and 82% of them experienced multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Indonesia is the top 20 country with an MDR-TB burden, and its prevalence is 8.8 per 100,000 population. MDR-TB requires a long-time treatment and has accompanying side effects: biological and psychosocial effects. However, efforts to overcome the psychosocial impacts have not been conducted. This study aims to determine the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and treatment adherence in MDR-TB patients.Design and methods: This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test three post-tests using total sampling. The pre-test was conducted before the standard nursing intervention, post-test 1 was after the standard nursing intervention, post-test 2 was after ACT session 1, and post-test 3 was after ACT session 2. Data were collected by the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A), Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), a Scale for Suicide Ideation (SSI), and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS).Results: The standard nursing action and ACT reduce anxiety (p = 0.002), reduced depression (p = 0.0001), reduced suicidal ideation (p = 0.008), and increased treatment adherence (p = 0.0001).Conclusions: The standard nursing action and ACT reduce anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. They increase treatment adherence recommended for use in MDR-TB patients.

Background: Annually, more than a lakh CABG procedure is performed in India aiming to restore blood circulation to heart muscles. But psychological factors like anxiety and depression among such patients pre and post-operatively are often overlooked. Our study aims to incorporate rehabilitation for psychological factors along with Cardiac rehabilitation using the Buteyko breathing technique among such population. Methods: Total 44 Post CABG patients after enrolment in the study will be divided into 2 groups to evaluate anxiety, depression, and self-efficacy, Conventional group (n=22) which receive in-hospital Cardiac rehabilitation for 2 weeks whereas the other group, the Experimental group (n=22) will receive In-hospital Cardiac rehabilitation along with Buteyko Breathing training. Discussion: Anchoring rehabilitation for psychological consequences in patients with CABG surgery will play a major role in fostering recovery, decrease the cost of Medicare and ameliorate symptoms. This will pave a path to incorporate the Buteyko breathing technique along with Cardiac rehabilitation as a holistic approach for CABG patients.

Night shift disturbs normal circadian rhythm, thus leads to several psychological problems. We aim to investigate the anxiety, depression, social support and self-efficacy of night-shift nurses compared with day-shift nurses and explore the association between emotional status and social support as well as the combined influence of social support and self-efficacy on emotional status. We conducted this quantitative comparative study in a hospital from January 1, 2019 to August 31, 2020, using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). The HADS-A and HADS-D scores were higher for the night-shift nurses than for the day-shift nurses (7.38 ± 3.228 vs. 5.81 ± 3.180 and 6.79 ± 3.444 vs. 5.43 ± 3.155, respectively, P < 0.01). The family support, friend support, other support and total social support scores were lower for the night-shift nurses than for the day-shift nurses. In both groups, these scores were lower for nurses with suspected anxiety than for those without anxiety (61.16 ± 12.208 vs. 66.35 ± 9.976, P < 0.01) and were lower for nurses with suspected depression than for those without depression (59.91± 11.606 vs. 66.77 ± 10.320, P < 0.01). The item scores, total scores and total mean score for the night-shift nurses were significantly lower than those for the day-shift nurses (P < 0.01). Social support and self-efficacy had noticeable regression effects on nurses’ anxiety and depression, and both variables had significant negative effects on anxiety and depression. This study suggests that night-shift nurses may have higher anxiety and depression than day-shift nurses. Nurses with suspected anxiety and depression nurses may have lower social support than those without anxiety and depression.
