This study was guided by the health ecology model (HEM). It aimed to build a predictive model for identifying high-risk individuals with post-stroke depression symptoms (PSDS), providing theoretical support for prevention strategies. Data were extracted from the CHARLS. Depressive symptoms were measured using the CESD-10 scale. Guided by the HEM, influencing factors were identified and stratified. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze determinants of PSDS, while the Harvard Cancer Index was used to assess the risk of depressive symptoms among stroke survivors. A total of 54.13% of participants met CESD-10 criteria for depression. Multivariate analysis identified self-rated health status, activities of daily living, pain, drinking, night sleep time, marital status, life satisfaction, employment, and medical insurance as factors significantly associated with PSDS. Notably, risk stratification via the Harvard Cancer Index revealed a clear ordered trend with PSDS prevalence increasing progressively alongside higher risk categories (χ<sup>2</sup> = 41.395, <i>p</i> < 0.001). Significant differences existed between each consecutive risk level (χ<sup>2</sup> = 69.132, <i>p</i> < 0.001). PSDS is determined by multiple factors. The Harvard Cancer Index effectively stratifies PSDS risk in stroke survivors with distinct prevalence differences across ordered risk grades.

Post treatment, survivors often experience both physical and psychological symptoms, which in turn delay the recovery phase. Post-mastectomy wound complications, such as infection, pain, delayed healing, seroma formation, persistent discomfort and limited mobility often lead to prolonged hospital stays and reduced quality of life. Proper wound care, including dressing changes and wound management, is crucial for optimal healing. However, mastectomy also has a significant emotional and psychological impact on patients, leading to depression, anxiety, and poor body image due to significant changes in the body such as loss of hair, unsightly scars and weight changes. Patients also feel uncomfortable when medical professionals concentrate solely on survival, rather than empathizing with them. While these emotional reactions are often expected and considered normal during breast cancer treatment, what comes as a surprise is the additional harm caused by healthcare providers' communication and behaviour when treating breast cancer patients. Despite advances in medical technology, there remains a significant gap in providing psychosocial support for breast cancer survivors. Undergoing a mastectomy is an emotionally challenging experience, and healthcare providers play a vital role in establishing the groundwork for psychological recuperation. By incorporating empathetic practices into daily patient care, healthcare providers can be trained to create an unbiased, informative, and compassionate environment, to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction. The use of compassionate communication when interacting with the patient and their care givers can foster a more nurturing atmosphere for all parties involved. By prioritizing empathy in post-mastectomy wound care, healthcare providers can enhance the overall well-being of breast cancer survivors. This review explores the physical and emotional impact of mastectomy on patients, the healing process, and the importance of integrating empathy into post-mastectomy wound care.</p>","PeriodicalId":54535,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Health & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1858-1900"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144049169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 14 RCTs were included, 11 of which were meta-analyzed. The meta-analysis showed that taVNS improved sleep quality (SMD =  -0.57, 95% CI = [-0.86, -0.28], <i>p</i> < 0.0001) , reduced fall asleep time (SMD =  -0.44, 95% CI = [-0.64, -0.23], <i>p</i> < 0.0001) and lowered depression- and anxiety-related scale scores (SMD =  -0.67, 95% CI = [-1.09, -0.25], <i>p</i> = 0.002; SMD =  -0.53, 95% CI = [-0.74, -0.32], <i>p</i> < 0.00001). Additionally, taVNS demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with only mild side effects. Most adverse events either resolved spontaneously or were effectively managed following treatment. Current evidence suggests that taVNS may improve sleep-related outcomes and appears to be generally well tolerated in patients with SD. However, given the heterogeneity across studies and the limited clinical interpretability of standardized effect sizes, these findings should be considered preliminary and require confirmation in larger, well-designed RCTs.</p>","PeriodicalId":54535,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Health & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148609536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
