Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune illness rarely found in Indonesia. The sufferers mostly are women. This illness affects both the physical and psychological conditions of the sufferers. The symptoms appear almost every day and can cause permanent disability, and even death. It disrupts the quality of life and daily activities of the sufferers, as well as decreases their self-reliance in trying to curing the illness. The provision of cognitive-behavioral therapy is expected to increase their quality of life and self-efficacy. The method used in this study was a single case experiment with a single-subject A-B design. Visual analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the quality of life and self-efficacy of the three subjects increased with the effect size score of 0.8. The women with rheumatoid arthritis had improved knowledge about their illness, decreases in pain, fatigue, and relapses; increased ability to manage the symptoms of the illness; and confidence that they could do their daily activities better.

Epidemiological studies indicate that anxiety and depressive disorders are the most common mental health problems, without timely and effective help, they can have a pronounced negative impact on the quality of life of a person. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is one of the most researched and effective psychotherapeutic methods for treating depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, eating disorders, and many others. The purpose of this article is to show the effectiveness of short-term cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy of mixed anxiety and depressive disorder. The clinical case presented in this article illustrates a person whose mental disorder caused somatic symptoms, reduced life quality. The introduction of cognitive-behavioral therapy in national protocols of treatment of mental disorders will improve the quality of life, facilitate faster re-socialization and rehabilitation of patients.

Abstract Background Adolescents and young adults who had childhood cancer are at increased risk for insomnia, due to being critically ill during an important phase of their life for the development of good sleep habits. Insomnia is disabling and prevalent after childhood cancer (26–29%) and negatively impacts quality of life, fatigue, pain, and general functioning and is often associated with other (mental) health problems. Insomnia and a history of childhood cancer both increase the risk of adverse health outcomes, posing a double burden for adolescents who had childhood cancer. The first-line treatment for insomnia is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). However, access to this type of care is often limited. The guided online CBT-I treatment “i-Sleep” has been developed to facilitate access via online care. i-Sleep is shown effective in adult (breast cancer) patients, but it is unknown if iCBT-I is effective in pediatric oncology. Methods/design We developed a youth version of i-Sleep. Our aim is to evaluate its effectiveness in a national randomized-controlled clinical trial comparing iCBT-I to a waiting-list control condition at 3 and 6 months (n = 70). The intervention group will be also assessed at 12 months to see whether the post-test effects are maintained. Adolescents and young adults aged 12–30 years with insomnia, diagnosed with (childhood) cancer, currently at least 6 months since their last cancer treatment will be eligible. Outcomes include sleep efficiency (actigraphic), insomnia severity (self-report), sleep and circadian activity rhythm parameters, fatigue, health-related quality of life, perceived cognitive functioning, chronic distress, depressive and anxiety symptoms, and intervention acceptability. Discussion Insomnia is prevalent in the pediatric oncology population posing a double health burden for adolescents and young adults who had childhood cancer. If guided iCBT-I is effective, guidelines for insomnia can be installed to treat insomnia and potentially improve quality of life and the health of adolescents and young adults who had childhood cancer.

Objective: The aim of this study was to perform a quantitative analysis to evaluate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on mood disorders, sleep, fatigue, and its impact on quality of life (QOL) in Parkinson's Disease (PD).Methods: We searched for randomized controlled trials in three electronic databases. Fourteen studies, including 507 patients with PD, met the inclusion criteria. We determined the pooled efficacy by standard mean differences and 95% confidence intervals, using I2 to reveal heterogeneity.Results: The result showed CBT had a significant effect on depression [−0.93 (95%CI, −1.19 to −0.67, P < 0.001)] and anxiety [−0.76 (95%CI, −0.97 to −0.55, P < 0.001)]. Moderate effect sizes were noted with sleep disorders [−0.45 (95% CI, −0.70 to −0.20, P = 0.0004)]. There was no evident impact of CBT on fatigue or QOL. We found an intervention period >8 weeks was advantageous compared with <8 weeks, and CBT implemented in non-group was more effective than in group. Between the delivery methods, no significant difference was found.Conclusion: We found that CBT in patients with PD was an efficacious therapy for some non-motor symptoms in PD, but not efficacious for fatigue and QOL. These results suggest that CBT results in significant improvement in PD and should be used as a conventional clinical intervention.

And Coping

As cancer treatment shifts progressively to the outpatient setting, informal caregivers, including family and friends, play an increasingly central role in ensuring optimal ongoing care of these patients. Cancer caregivers may provide a range of emotional, instrumental, and informational support, including handling complex treatment schedules, managing side effects, juggling household chores and transportation, communicating with the healthcare team and friends and family, and coping with the uncertainty of their loved one’s prognosis. Cancer caregivers may become overwhelmed and burdened by these tasks, receiving minimal support and guidance related to managing distress and maintaining their own quality of life while caring for a loved one. Cognitive behavioral therapy is evidence- and skills-based therapy efficacious for patients with cancer in managing anxiety and depression and improving quality of life. This chapter reviews the application of and evidence for cognitive behavioral therapy for addressing psychosocial distress and burden in informal cancer caregivers.

Lower Limb Prostheses

Abstract Background Low balance confidence is a prevalent yet overlooked issue among people who use lower limb prostheses (LLP) that can diminish community integration and quality of life. There is a critical need to develop rehabilitation programs that specifically target balance confidence in people who use LLP. Previous research has shown that multicomponent interventions including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques and exercise are feasible and effective for improving balance confidence in older adults. Therefore, a cognitive behavioral–physical therapy (CBPT) intervention was developed to target balance confidence and increase community integration in people who use LLP. Methods/design This randomized control trial will recruit 60 people who use LLP with low balance confidence. Participants will be randomized to the CBPT intervention condition or control condition. Discussion The trial is designed to test the effects of the CBPT intervention on balance confidence and functional mobility in lower limb prosthesis users by examining self-reported and objective measures of community integration and quality of life. The trial will also examine the relationship between changes in balance confidence and changes in community integration following participation in CBPT intervention. Additionally, through participant feedback, researchers will identify opportunities to improve intervention efficacy. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03411148.
