The Relationship

Objectives: This study was aim to describe the relationship between psychological distress and coping strategies among patients with advanced or terminal stage hepatocellular carcinoma.Material and Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study. Data were collect from hospitalized sample at medical units in a tertiary care hospital in southern Thailand during April 2015 - December 2016. Ninety-six sample of advanced or terminal stage hepatocellular carcinoma. Research instruments consisted of 4 parts: (1) a demographic data form, (2) The Karnofsky Performance Status Scale, (3) psychological distress questionnaires using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and (4) coping strategies questionnaire developed by researchers based on Lazarus and Folkman’s stress and coping theory and literature reviews. Cronbach’s alphas for Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and coping strategies questionnaire were 0.89 and 0.84. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient was used.Results: A relationship analysis found that there was a moderate, negative correlation between psychological distress and coping strategies (r=-0.66, p-value<0.001)Conclusion: The results of this study reveal that increases in psychological distress were correlated with decreases in coping strategies among patients with advanced or terminal stage hepatocellular carcinoma. A screening assessment for psychological distress is needed. The results of this study can be used for developing nursing program to promote effective coping strategies among patients with advanced or terminal stage hepatocellular carcinoma to help them live well at the end of life.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to test the mediating effects of coping on relationships of psychological distress and stress with anxiety, depression, and quality of life. A cross-sectional and correlational research study was used to recruit a sample of 440 patients with advanced cancer in Indonesia. A bootstrap resampling procedure was used to test the significance of the total and specific indirect effects of coping. Data analysis showed that problem-focused coping (PFC) mediated relationships of psychological distress and stress on depression, anxiety and functional well-being. PFC also mediated the relationship between stress and social well-being. Emotional-focused coping (EFC) mediated the relationship of stress with physical and emotional well-being. EFC also mediated the relationships between psychological distress and physical well-being. Thus, proper assessments and interventions should be tailored and implemented for patients in order to facilitate their use of coping strategies when needed in stressful situations.

The Relationship

Bicultural identity orientations have rarely been examined in relation to both perceived discrimination and psychological distress. Furthermore, these constructs have usually been studied in isolation, but their intersection is essential for understanding intercultural relations in multicultural societies. Using cross-sectional data from 1,143 Canadian undergraduate students from immigrant families, this study explored the relationship between perceived discrimination and psychological distress, and how bicultural identity orientations might mediate this relationship. The structural equation modeling results indicated that perceived discrimination was associated with higher levels of psychological distress and hybrid, monocultural, alternating, and conflicted orientations, but lower levels of complementary orientation. Alternating and conflicted orientations were related to higher psychological distress, whereas the other orientations were not. Alternating and conflicted orientations mediated the relationship between perceived discrimination and psychological distress, whereas the other orientations did not. The findings are discussed in light of theories on identity integration, rejection–identification, and acculturation.

Internalizing And Externalizing Symptoms

AbstractThis research analyses the internalizing and externalizing symptoms and the coping strategies of young victims of abuse. These young people are in residential care under protective measures due to abuse. The participants were 61 youths (32 male and 29 female) between 12 and 17 years of age. Different works of research stress the need for an early identification of the psychopathological symptomatology that these adolescents may present in order to provide an adequate psycho-educational intervention. The relationship between the adolescents’ psychopathological symptomatology and the coping strategies and styles they use to resolve problems is studied. It is also analyzed whether internalizing and externalizing problems predict the style and coping strategies of adolescents. Two tests were used: 1. Child and Adolescent Evaluation System (SENA); 2. Adolescent Coping Scales (ACS). The results indicate that young victims of abuse have internalizing and externalizing symptoms. These adolescents are characterized by an unproductive coping style, as well as by the use of coping strategies that are not very functional and ineffective for resolving conflicts. The psychopathological symptomatology is related to and predicts an unproductive coping style, badly adapted to solving daily problems (worrying, blaming oneself, not coping, ignoring the problem, or keeping it to oneself). This research has allowed us to identify the presence of several areas of vulnerability in these young persons which could be playing an important role in their psychosocial maladjustment. The research suggests the design of intervention strategies, for both groups and individuals, aimed at mitigating and modifying the sources of the problems in victims of child abuse.
