The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health has been extensively documented, while its possible positive individual, defined as Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG), much less investigated. present study examines association between PTG and socio-demographic aspects, pre-pandemic psychological adjustment, stressors directly linked to four factors theoretically implicated in change processes (core belief violation, meaning-making, vulnerability mortality perception). During second wave 680 medical patients completed an online survey direct indirect stressors, demographic information, post-traumatic growth, core meaning-making capacity, feelings perceptions personal mortality. Violation beliefs, mortality, illness positively correlated with growth. Moreover, diagnosis COVID-19, stronger violation greater ability, lower pre-existing predicted PTG. Finally, a moderating effect ability was found. clinical implications were discussed.

After controlling for relevant socio-demographic COVID-19/lockdown factors, profiles differed mental health (depression, anxiety, distress). Essentially gradient progressive decreases all (except experiential avoidance) corresponded increments across profiles. Two profiles, which evidenced highest (highly flexible moderately profiles), also had greatest proportion sample 56.42% (n = 584), avoidance.Findings from this similar studies suggest intersecting among that are likely shift response changing contexts.

Introduction and objective Frailty is characterized by the body's increased susceptibility to stressors due aging a concurrent decline in its resilience. A dominant hypothesis suggests that oncological interventions may amplify this vulnerability. Consequently, elderly individuals with cancer pose challenges for conventional treatments. This research sought assess effects of radiotherapy (RT) on frailty patients utilizing Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS). Methods was designed as prospective observational study. Patients aged 65 older, receiving treatment at radiation oncology clinic, were asked complete EFS form both before end their RT course. The scores achieved after obtained, medical histories recorded. difference between pre- post-RT calculated subtracting score from pre-RT determine any increase or decrease score. For statistical evaluations, suite tests (including Shapiro-Wilk test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov paired sample t-test, independent t-tests, analysis variance {ANOVA}, Pearson correlation) implemented. All analyses conducted using Statistical Package Social Sciences (SPSS) software (version 29.0) (IBM SPSS Statistics, Armonk, NY). Results From April 2021 August 2023, total 121 participated Out these, 81 underwent assessments post-RT. median age 73; follow-up period five months. predominant diagnoses included prostate cancer, breast gynecological malignancies. significant proportion diagnosed stage IV palliative RT. Post-RT evaluations revealed some patients, while an observed others. Certain variations statistically significant. Moreover, inverse correlation discerned dose fraction number Conclusion Our confirmed substantial either experienced maintained stability observation might not exacerbate short term. Nevertheless, elucidate long-term impact frailty, there pressing need comprehensive assessment correlating survival rates.
