Exploring the Relationship Between Cyberchondria and Suicidal Ideation: Cross-Sectional Mediation Analysis

Exploring the Relationship Between Cyberchondria and Suicidal Ideation: Cross-Sectional Mediation Analysis

We also examined a possible role for psychological distress, reflecting the symptoms of depression and anxiety, as a mediator in the relationship between cyberchondria and suicidal ideation. On the basis of the aforementioned research findings and theoretical considerations and observations [18], we hypothesized that cyberchondria and suicidal ideation will be directly related and that psychological distress will mediate this relationship.

COVID-19–Related Racism and Mental Health Among Asian Americans: Integrative Review

In a meta-analysis involving 293 studies, racism was associated with poor mental health (depression, anxiety, and psychiatric distress) and poor general health and physical health [13]. One study showed everyday discrimination is associated with higher odds of developing psychiatric experiences (odds ratio [OR] 4.59) and lifetime psychotic experiences (OR 4.27) in a large sample that included Latino, Asian, African American, and Caribbean Black adults [12].

A Video-Based Communication Intervention for Fecal Ostomy Surgery (CI-oSurg): Protocol for Open Pilot Testing to Improve Intervention Acceptability and Feasibility

A Video-Based Communication Intervention for Fecal Ostomy Surgery (CI-oSurg): Protocol for Open Pilot Testing to Improve Intervention Acceptability and Feasibility

There is a lack of evidence-based interventions to address distress in the postoperative period for fecal ostomy patients. The overall goal of our work is to improve biopsychosocial outcomes of patients recovering from fecal ostomy surgery.

Among the negative impacts of social media use is psychological distress, which is generally characterized by emotional experience marked by symptoms of depression and anxiety [10]. It has been theoretically demonstrated that psychological distress can impair parenting practices [11], and understanding its mechanisms is crucial for supporting effective parenting functions.

Designing Survey-Based Mobile Interfaces for Rural Patients With Cancer Using Apple’s ResearchKit and CareKit: Usability Study

According to the National Cancer Institute, distress is an “emotional, social, spiritual, or physical pain or suffering that may cause a person to feel sad, afraid, depressed, anxious, or lonely” [41]. Distress is prevalent in patients with cancer regardless of disease stage or modality [8,42-45], and untreated distress has been shown to lead to greater pain, reduced physical function, increased medical costs, and longer stays in the hospital [8,42,46].

Rationale, Design, and Baseline Characteristics of Participants in the Health@NUS mHealth Augmented Cohort Study Examining Student-to-Work Life Transition: Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Study

Mental health and wellness were assessed using the WHO (World Health Organization)-5 Well-Being Index (WHO-5) [58] and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6) [56,57]. WHO-5 assesses positive well-being, where a cutoff score of less than or equal to 50 indicates reduced well-being [58]. K6 assesses psychological distress, where a cutoff score of greater than or equal to 13 indicates increased mental distress [56,57].

Digital Therapeutic (Mika) Targeting Distress in Patients With Cancer: Results From a Nationwide Waitlist Randomized Controlled Trial

Digital Therapeutic (Mika) Targeting Distress in Patients With Cancer: Results From a Nationwide Waitlist Randomized Controlled Trial

In addition to somatic symptoms such as pain [1], patients with cancer report elevated levels of distress, anxiety, and depression [2,3]. Epidemiological data show that the prevalence of clinically substantial psychological distress typically ranges from 30% to 60% among patients with cancer [2,4]. Psychological distress can persist long after the end of treatment and is associated with reduced quality of life (Qo L), lower cancer treatment adherence, and lower survival rates [5].

A Self-Guided Web-Based App (MyDiaMate) for Enhancing Mental Health in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes: Insights From a Real-World Study in the Netherlands

Indeed, diabetes-related distress (diabetes distress) [1-3], depression [4], fatigue [5], and disordered eating [6] are frequently experienced by people with T1 D. Emotional distress is associated with reduced quality of life and can negatively affect diabetes self-care and subsequent glycemic outcomes [7]. The significance of addressing mental health issues in diabetes care has gained increasing recognition over the years.
