The Relationship

This study shows that caregiving for a spouse with a chronic disease or disability can be a difficult task in many ways and can have a negative impact (e.g. lack of intimacity, sexual problems) on the quality of the relationship between the couple. With regard to sexual problems, for example, insufficient ways to handle sexual dysfunction of the (male) partner, the avoidance of talking about sexuality, a misleading perception of each other’s sexual needs and jealousy can be experienced as especially burdensome. As a consequence, very often caregivers and care receivers report a lower marital satisfaction compared to the time before the caregiving situation set in. In order to reduce the negative impact caregiving may have on the partnership, changes in everyday life and in the relationship have to be accepted and, adequate coping strategies have to be used or learned, respectively (e.g. improvement of verbal communication skills). Zusammenfassung: Diese Studie zeigt, dass die Pflege eines Partners mit chronischer Erkrankung oder Einschränkung in vielerlei Hinsicht eine schwierige Aufgabe darstellt und negative Auswirkungen – wie einen Mangel an Zärtlichkeit oder sexuelle Probleme – auf die Partnerschaftsqualität haben kann. In Hinblick auf sexuelle Probleme können unzureichende Wege mit sexueller Dysfunktion des (männlichen) Partners umzugehen, das Vermeiden von Gesprächen über Sexualität, eine irreführende Wahrnehmung der gegenseitigen sexuellen Bedürfnisse und Eifersucht als besonders belastend erlebt werden. Als Folge berichten Pflegende und Gepflegte über eine geringere Zufriedenheit mit der Partnerschaft als in der Zeit, bevor die Pflegesituation auftrat. Um die möglichen negativen Auswirkungen einer Pflegesituation auf die Partnerschaft zu verringern, müssen Veränderungen im alltäglichen Leben und in der Partnerschaft besser angenommen und adäquate Bewältigungsstrategien wie z.B. eine Verbesserung der verbalen Kommunikation genutzt bzw. erlernt werden.

Tract Infections

Инфекции мочевых путей - наиболее распространённая группа заболеваний в практике врача уролога. Один из представителей является хронический рецидивирующий бактериальный цистит. Данное заболевание встречается во всех возрастных категориях и затрагивает все сферы жизни пациентов. Симптомы, возникающие при обострении хронического бактериального цистита, оказывают негативное влияние на качество жизни, что может приводить к нарушению психоэмоционального состояния больных. Отдельную группу высокого риска в отношении ИНМП составляют пациенты с нарушением углеводного обмена, у которых риск развития различных инфекций выше, чем у людей без подобных нарушений. К факторам, повышающим риск развития ИНМП у больных с нарушением углеводного обмена, относят возраст, компенсацию и наличие хронических осложнений, в первую очередь нефропатии и цистопатии. Человеческий организм функционирует циклически в соответствии с определенными индивидуальными ритмами. Любое хроническое заболевание приводит к рассогласованию процессов, протекающих в различных системах организма, вызывая развитие десинхроноза. Наличие у человека более 1 хронического заболевания утяжеляет течение болезни и приводит к снижению восстановительных способностей организма и сокращению его адаптационного потенциала Urinary tract Infections are the most common group of diseases in the practice of a urologist. One of the representatives is chronic recurrent bacterial cystitis. This disease occurs in all age categories and affects all areas of life of patients. Symptoms that occur with the exacerbation of chronic bacterial cystitis have a negative impact on the quality of life, which can lead to a violation of the psychoemotional state of patients. A separate high-risk group for INMP is patients with impaired carbohydrate metabolism, who have a higher risk of developing various infections than people without such disorders. Factors that increase the risk of developing INMP in patients with impaired carbohydrate metabolism include age, compensation, and the presence of chronic complications, primarily nephropathy and cystopathy. The human body functions cyclically in accordance with certain individual rhythms. Any chronic disease leads to misalignment of the processes occurring in various body systems, causing the development of DS, the Presence of more than 1 chronic disease complicates the course of disease and leads to a decrease in regenerative abilities of the organism and reduce its adaptive capacity

The aim of this study was to analyze athletes’ quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study involved 249 athletes between 15 and 35 of age, M = 21.22, SD = 5.12. The sample was composed of eight Olympic Games medalists, three European medalists, 67 international medalists, and 63 national medalists. The instruments used were: (1) COVID-19 Anxiety Scale, (2) Athlete Quality of Life Scale, (3) Impact of Pandemic on Athletes Questionnaire, and (4) International Personality Item Pool (IPIP Anxiety, Depression, and Vulnerability Scales). The results indicate significant differences in COVID-19 anxiety depending on the sport practiced, F (9239) = 3.81, p < 0.01, showing that there were significant differences between sports. The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic mediates the relationship between trait anxiety and the athletes’ quality of life. The percentage of mediation was 33.9%, and the indirect effect was −0.11, CI 95% (−0.18, −0.03), Z = −2.82, p < 0.01. Trait anxiety has an increasing effect on the intensity of the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, 0.23, CI 95% (.10, 0.35), Z = 3.56, p < 0.01, and the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has a decreasing effect on quality of life, −0.47, CI 95% (−0.67, −0.27), Z = −4.62, p < 0.01. Gender and age did not moderate the relationship between the negative impact of COVID-19 and athletes’ quality of life. The results of the study highlighted the impact that social isolation and quarantine have on athletes’ affective well-being.

Abstract This presentation describes a supportive mindfulness practice for caregivers of older adults based on the principles of Won Buddhism (an integrative, a modernized Buddhism). As the aging population grows, there is a significant increase in recognition of the negative impact of caregiver stress on older adults’ quality of life. The ability for caregivers to deal compassionately with stress is essential, as caring for older adults can awaken feelings about one’s own vulnerability and mortality. The ‘Mindful Gratitude Practice’ offers a way to cope with stress, cultivate self-care, and improve the care of others. Relevant research will be summarized, which shows mindfulness and gratitude practice respectively benefit positive influence in both physical and emotional well-being. Mindful Gratitude Practice as a spiritual approach that fosters caregivers' emotional stability, reduces their stress and improves the relationship between older adults and their caregivers. In this presentation, three processes of Mindful Gratitude Practice will be described: 1. Understanding a mindfulness practice by establishing intention, attention, and attitude, 2. Learning the principles of a gratitude practice and implementation, and 3. Incorporating mindfulness into a gratitude practice. Research results have demonstrated that through this learning process, caregivers have acquired the concept of interconnectedness, experience grateful moments, and a deep feeling of appreciation in their caregiving relationships. The presenter will guide participants in a short experience of Mindfulness Gratitude Practice. Further readings and resources will be provided for those who are interested.

Epilepsy which is also called seizures disorder is an uncontrolled action of the central nervous system. Itis not a single disease but a set of neurological disorders. Actually in this situation, the brain does notreceive a precise signal and as a result an abnormal condition is produced that is usually involuntary inaction. In this review, we aimed to focus on the relationship of anti-epileptic drugs with sexual dysfunctionand adaptation of better remedies that improve a patient’s family life. Sexual dysfunction is a commoncomorbidity in people with epilepsy which badly affects their quality of life. Sexual dysfunction is causedby different factors like psychiatric problems, anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) and social factors etc. Sexualdysfunctions include ejaculatory failure, lessen libido, penile erection in men and irregular menstrual cyclein women. Common drugs such as Topiramate, Gabapentin (GBP), Valproate (VA), Carbamazepine (CBZ),Olanzapine (OL) and Risperidone (RTG) that are in practice to treat epilepsy usually produced adverseeffect on sexual dysfunction. Even though a lot of studies have been carried out to control sexualdysfunction in epilepsy’s patient, but still research is going on. Medicine such as Cyproheptadine,Mianserin, Buspirone, Yohimbine were found better to treat epilepsy with minimum side effects of sexualdysfunction. Moreover, it is also seen that certain vasodilators, folate , and vitamin supplements areeffective in improving the quality of life.

Objective. Analysis of the relationship between the assessment of interpersonal relations and satisfaction with marriage among young spouses in an official and civil marriage. Background. Against the background of the growing number of divorces, the need to analyze and understand the factors associated with marriage satisfaction among nowday’s youth is increasing in order to develop programs for overcoming difficulties in communication and maintaining relationships. Study design. The work examined the relationship between interpersonal relationships and marital satisfaction. The presence and nature of the relationship was checked through correlation, regression, factor analysis and automatic modeling (SPSS). The survey was conducted individually or in a group before the start of the pandemic. Participants. 108 young spouses, of which 30 couples, 48 respondents took part without their partners (44.44% of boys, 55.56% of girls) from 20 to 35 years old (M=28.6; SD=2.83). Measurements. Marriage Satisfaction Test Questionnaire (MAR); test questionnaire “Analysis of family anxiety” (ACT); Russian-language versions of the questionnaire “Scale of love and sympathy” and methods of researching partnerships Partnership Questionnaire (PFB); PEA questionnaire to identify the level of understanding, emotional attractiveness and authority (respect) of partners in marriage. Results. A complex system of relationships was revealed between the types of relationships between partners, indicators of family anxiety and satisfaction with marriage. Satisfaction with marriage increases in case of manifestation of love and sympathy in interpersonal relationships, experiences of emotional attraction between partners, respect and rare use of conflict behavior. Predictors of marital satisfaction have been identified, and a standard model of interpersonal relationships has been described, which allows predicting marital satisfaction at a young age. Main conclusion. There is a complex systemic relationship between the assessment of the quality of interpersonal relationships and the perception of satisfaction with marriage in young spouses and partners in a civil marriage, the knowledge of which allows you to create a model of the relationship system in order to predict the satisfaction with marriage of young people and prevent conflicts in relationships leading to their destruction.

Multimorbidity is defined as any combination of a chronic disease with at least one other acute or chronic disease or biopsychosocial or somatic risk factor. Old age is a leading risk factor for multimorbidity. It has a negative impact on short- and long-term prognosis, patients’ cognitive and functional performance, self-care, independence, and quality of life. It substantially influences patients’ clinical management and increases healthcare-related costs. There is a great variety of clinical measures to assess multimorbidity; some are presented in this chapter. Despite its high prevalence in older adults, clinical guidelines for physicians managing patients with multimorbidity are underdeveloped and insufficient.

Transversal Study

IntroductionThe side effects of the various antidepressant drugs on the sexual field (with very few exceptions) are well known, and they affect the quality of life in important manners. The incidence rate, communicated spontaneously by the patient, has been estimated around 10–15%, and can reach amounts of 50–60% with SSRIs when studied specifically. It has been suggested that these effects compromise treatment adherence.ObjectivesTo estimate the incidence and intensity of the side effects on the sexual field with different antidepressants, as well as its relationship with treatment adherence.MethodologyTransversal study on 50 patients assisted in medical consultation. Collection of data in office (October 2014–October 2015).Administration of survey PRSexDQ-SALSEX. In order to research the relationship with treatment adherence, one question surveyed the patient whether he/she had thought about finishing treatment for this reason.ResultsTwenty-nine patients (58% of the sample) presented some degree of sexual dysfunction. Five individuals (17.2%) communicated it spontaneously. Nine individuals (31%) responded that they did not accept positively the changes in their sexual field, and they had thought about withdrawing treatment for this reason. They were given the test of self-compliance statement (Haynes-Sackett), with a result of four non-compliant (44.4%). The most frequently involved drugs were fluoxetine (n = 5, 10% of the sample total) and paroxetine (n = 4, 8%).ConclusionsThe high impact of sexual side effects with a low rate of spontaneous communication coincides with previous existent studies.Limitation when estimating adhesion due to methodological difficulties in the design of the study. However, high impression by using the selected method of determination.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Sexual dysfunction is one of the most common and distressing consequences of cancer treatment. Although some treatment-related sexual adverse effects are short-term, many survivors face long-term effects such as treatment-induced menopause, altered gonadal function, and significant surgical disfigurement. Profound sexual dysfunction has been shown to have a significant negative effect on quality of life. Although these problems have been well documented and there are a range of intervention strategies that can help patients cope with treatment-related sexual problems, many survivors do not feel prepared for potential sexual changes and often do not receive adequate support to manage sexual dysfunction. Numerous barriers contribute to this underprovided aspect of survivorship care, including lack of provider training and access to readily available resources. In addition, psychological, relational, and cultural factors significantly influence sexuality but are often not taken into consideration in research and clinical practice. By taking an integrative approach and providing survivors with appropriate screening, information, and support, sexual dysfunction and accompanying distress can be significantly alleviated. In this article, we aim to provide a concise review of the most common sexual problems experienced by survivors and highlight some of the most promising evidence-based practices for assessment and intervention. We also address limitations encountered in research and practice and explore future directions, including suggestions for adopting an integrative treatment model to address sexual dysfunction in a cancer survivorship treatment setting.
