Older adults from Pakistan's Sindh province may be particularly vulnerable when encountering the tragedy of spousal loss due to their age. Although resilience in older persons who live in social isolation has been researched extensively, less is known about older Sindhi adults' experience of how they achieve resilience after late-life spousal loss, and what different ways of achieving resilience are used by male and female older persons. This study aims to explore how older persons achieve resilience and how ways of achieving resilience differ across gender lines. The criterion-based selection of participants was undertaken before doing interviews. Data were collected via in-depth, semi-structured interviews conducted with twenty six bereaved older adults, ranging in age from sixty two to seventy four, all living in Pakistan's Sindh province. Follow-up discussions with the participants improved the credibility of findings and contributed to the depth and breadth of the study. Employing the concept of resilience as our analytical lens, we identified social engagement, cultural activities and leisurely activities that contributed to the post spousal loss resilience in older persons.","PeriodicalId":74338,"journal":{"name":"Omega","volume":" ","pages":"302228241305487"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142741065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, the social environment in which these parents continue their lives is little known. The current study drew on data from 2029 Chinese adults (Mage = 36.62 years, SDage = 10.06, range = 18-71) who anonymously completed questionnaires about their negative attitudes towards the bereaved parents (i.e., stigma of losing an only child), perceptions of adversities faced by these parents, and prosocial tendencies (willingness to provide personal help and expectations for government support). In total, 44% of the participants held moderate to high levels of stigma of losing an only child. Participants with greater stigma reported fewer adversities faced by the bereaved parents and they were less likely to agree that the government should provide resources. Moreover, perceptions of adversities mediated the negative association between public stigma and expectations for governmental support. This study advances our understanding of the unwelcoming environment in which the vulnerable population of parents who have lost their only child live by innovatively revealing perspectives from the public.","PeriodicalId":74338,"journal":{"name":"Omega","volume":" ","pages":"302228241303254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142718013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design: The present study exclusively gathered randomized controlled trials (RCTs) via conducting a comprehensive search across multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus. This study aimed to compare the impact of psychosocial interventions on the fear of cancer recurrence among individuals diagnosed with cancer. The methodological quality of studies involved in the analysis was assessed using the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool. The data was then analyzed using appropriate software. Results: The RCTs were collected from the earliest possible date until March 2023. The study encompassed 21 RCTs, and the cumulative sample size was 2634. The findings of network meta-analysis indicate that the ConquerFear-HK intervention is associated with a statistically significant reduction in fear of cancer recurrence among individuals with cancer (SUCRA: 99.2%). Conclusion: According to the ranking plot of the network, it can be asserted that the ConquerFear-HK intervention exhibited superior efficacy as a psychological treatment in reducing cancer patients' fear of cancer relapse.","PeriodicalId":74338,"journal":{"name":"Omega","volume":" ","pages":"302228241297413"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142718011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cross-sectional correlational design was employed to examine this relationship in a sample of 296 HF patients. Participants were recruited using convenience sampling from teaching hospitals in Kermanshah City, western Iran, between October and December 2023. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Templer Death Anxiety Scale (TDAS), and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). Participants reported moderate to high levels of death anxiety (Mean [SD] = 7.54 [2.35]) on the TDAS and moderate to poor QoL (Mean [SD] = 36.24 [12.26]) on the MLHFQ. The statistical methods used in this study included descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple linear regression analysis, and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 26, with a significance level set at 0.05. A significant positive correlation was found between death anxiety and QoL (r = 0.329, p < .001), indicating that higher levels of death anxiety were associated with lower QoL. These results underscore the importance of addressing death anxiety in HF patients to improve their QoL. Interventions targeting the reduction of death anxiety and the enhancement of QoL are essential for optimizing care for this vulnerable population. The study recommends the implementation of psychological interventions, support groups, comprehensive counseling, education, and regular assessments for this purpose.","PeriodicalId":74338,"journal":{"name":"Omega","volume":" ","pages":"302228241301654"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142683667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We further investigated whether depression-PTG relationship would be moderated by social support. Cancer patients (N = 412) were randomly selected from two healthcare institutions. Participants completed relevant self report measures, and data were analyzed using Hayes PROCESS macro for SPSS. Results showed that social support buffered the effect of death anxiety on PTG. The relationship between depression and PTG was also moderated by social support.

Next, we compared this subset to IL state population-level prison reports to identify suicide-specific risk factors. Suicide decedents were predominately male, White, serving their first sentence, had a psychiatric diagnosis, and had no work assignment. Lethal attempts frequently occurred during evening off-hours, on Wednesdays, and were preceded by \"mental health decompensation\" and significant life transitions. Suicide-specific risk factors included identifying as White or Asian, having an offense type of habitual criminal or sex offender, being divorced, and not having children. We close with readily implementable suggestions to reduce suicides in prisons such as increasing off-hours and shift change staffing and social support interventions.","PeriodicalId":74338,"journal":{"name":"Omega","volume":" ","pages":"302228241293828"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142640189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four mediation analyses were performed, controlling for sex, for depressive, anxious, somatizing and obsessive symptoms measured with the Brief Symptom Checklist as the independent variable, distress tolerance, measured with the Distress Tolerance Scale as the mediating variable, and the risk of making a suicide attempt, measured with Risk of Suicide, as the dependent variable.
