Evidence suggests high rates of psychiatric disorders in bariatric surgery candidates (e.g., Kalarchian et al., 2007; Mitchell et al., in press), although no rigorous studies have examined the prevalence in a Canadian sample. As such, the first purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of Axis I disorders, and associations with quality of life, in a sample of consecutively referred bariatric surgery candidates at the Toronto Western Hospital Bariatric Surgery Program. In light of emerging evidence linking emotion regulation difficulties with diverse psychiatric symptoms, the second purpose of this study was to examine whether emotion regulation difficulties were common or specific determinants of mood, anxiety, and eating psychodiagnostic categories, as such information would help inform interventions. Three hundred and twenty-one bariatric surgery candidates (80.1% female; M age = 44.37 years) were assessed using a structured psychodiagnostic interview and completed questionnaires of health-related quality of life and emotion regulation difficulties. Results indicated that 54.5% of patients met DSM-IV-TR criteria for a lifetime psychiatric diagnosis and 18.4% met criteria for a current psychiatric disorder. Major depressive disorder was the most common lifetime psychiatric disorder and binge eating disorder was the most prevalent current psychiatric disorder. Compared to patients without a current Axis I disorder, participants diagnosed with a current Axis I disorder reported significantly worse functioning on most mental and physical health domains (p’s < .01). Overall, a series of regression analyses revealed that difficulties regulating emotions accounted for unique variance in current mood and anxiety disorder status (p’s < .001). Difficulties in emotion regulation were not significantly associated with current eating disorder status after Bonferroni correction. Taken together, these results confirm the high rates of psychiatric disorders in a Canadian sample of bariatric surgery candidates and provide evidence for associated functional health impairment. The data also add to the growing body of literature demonstrating emotion regulation difficulties across psychodiagnostic categories and are consistent with suggestions that psychosocial interventions for bariatric patients might benefit from directly targeting difficulties in emotion regulation. Further study of these associations is needed to replicate these findings and elucidate how difficulties in emotion regulation interact with psychopathology to affect patients’ post-operative outcomes.

Background: The prevalence of diabetes is on the rise, and the lack of regular self-care activities can exacerbate this disease. Therefore, finding effective and short-term treatments is needed for these patients. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of acceptance-based emotion regulation group therapy in controlling diabetes in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This experimental study included the three stages of pre-test, post-test, and six-month after follow-up, as well as a control group. The statistical sample consisted of 33 patients with type 2 diabetes referred to the Iranian Diabetes Association, of whom 16 patients were allocated to the intervention group and 17 to the control group. The study was conducted in Tehran in 2019 - 2020. Acceptance-based emotion regulation group therapy lasted 14 weeks, during which some aspects of acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical therapy, and emotion-focused treatment were combined and provided to the patients. The questionnaires used were the Summary of Diabetes Self-care activities (SDSCA) and Diabetes Dependent Quality of Life scale. Also, a structured DSM-V clinical interview was performed, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured. To analyze the data, mixed design ANOVA was run in SPSS version 21. Results: The findings revealed that the mean difference between pre-test and post-test in the experimental group was significant for the variables of HbA1c, quality of life, and self-care while the mean difference between the post-test and follow-up was not significant for HbA1c (P = 0.17) and quality of life (P = 0.27), indicating the stability of the therapeutic effect after six months of the intervention. Based on the present findings, acceptance-based emotion regulation group therapy led to a decrease in HbA1c and an increase in self-care and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes. Conclusions: Our results showed that acceptance-based emotion regulation group therapy improved self-care, quality of life, and HbA1c in type 2 diabetic patients, so it can be used as a complementary intervention along with medical treatments.

Introduction: People who are living with HIV often experience physical as well as psychological challenges. Therefore, the aim of this descriptive, correlational study was to explore the potential mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in the relationships between early maladaptive schemas, quality of life, and self-care behavior in patients with HIV/AIDS. Methods: In the first half of 2017, patients with HIV/AIDS (N=240) were recruited from an HIV clinic in Tehran, Iran. A self-report questionnaire included the Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQSF), Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), short form of Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), and a self-care behaviors questionnaire. The data analysis involved using advanced statistical techniques for structural equation modeling. Results: There were significant, inverse relationships between all five areas of early maladaptive schemas and positive cognitive emotional regulation strategies, self-care behaviors, and quality of life. Also, there were significant, positive relationships between all five areas of early maladaptive schemas and negative cognitive and emotional regulation strategies. Conclusion: The findings suggest that practical interventions to reduce maladaptive responses may result in healthier outcomes for persons living with HIV.

Objective: The study was aimed to investigate the association among emotion regulation, optimism and quality of life among gastric ulcer patients. Methods: The Cross-sectional study was conducted in public sector hospitals of Lahore, during January-June 2017. Sample of study was comprised of 100 patients diagnosed with gastric ulcer, aged 25-55 years, selected through non-probability purposive sampling technique. Demographic information sheet, Emotion Regulation Scale by John, Gross 2003, Life Orientation Test-Revised by Sheer, Carver 2002, Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire by Endicott 1993 were used for data collection. SPSS 21 version was used for data analysis. Results: Out of total 100 participants 41 (41%) were men and 59 (59%) were women, with mean age of (M= 44.89, SD= 7.99). There was significant positive correlation among emotion regulation, optimism and quality of life (p<0.01). Optimism and emotion regulation were observed as significant predictors of quality of life (p<0.01). Significant gender differences were found in emotion regulation (p< 0.01), optimism (p< 0.01) and quality of life (p<0.01), with men scoring higher as compared to women. One way ANOVA showed significant differences between emotion regulation, optimism and quality of life among different age groups of gastric ulcer patients (p< 0.01). Conclusion: Quality of life of gastric ulcer patients can be greatly improved by effectively using emotion regulation strategies and optimistic approach. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.4.3894 How to cite this:Muazzam A, Ali N, Niazi Y, Hassan N.
