Polish adaptation, psychometric properties and validation of Physician's Trust in the Patient Scale (PTPS).

Mutual trust is considered one of the critical aspects of building a successful doctor-patient relationship. Albeit patient trust in physicians has been widely explored by researchers, physician trust in patients remains neglected, which is reflected by the lack of existing tools to assess this construct. Therefore, we aimed to validate and adapt Thom's Physician's Trust in the Patient Scale (PTPS) in Polish.

The effect of an online acceptance and commitment intervention on the meaning-making process in cancer patients following hematopoietic cell transplantation: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial enhanced with single-case experimental design.

Background: Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a highly invasive and life-threatening treatment for hematological neoplasms and some types of cancer that can challenge the patient's meaning structures. Restoring meaning (i.e.

To know or not to know? Opinions of patients with Parkinson's Disease on disclosing risk of phenoconversion in RBD.

Introduction: The aim of our study was to find out the opinion of patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) whose disease was preceded by REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD) regarding early information about the high risk of phenoconversion in RBD.

Clinical Rationale For The Study: RBD is an early clinical manifestation of α-synucleinopathies with a more than 90% risk of phenoconversion to PD, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) or multiple system atrophy (MSA). It remains a subject for debate as to whether and how RBD patients should be informed about the high risk of phenoconversion.

Meaning-reconstruction factors and well-being in cancer survivor-caregiver dyads: Daily associations and mechanisms.

Objective: The study aimed to expand the existing research on the meaning-making processes in cancer by examining (a) the relationship between daily meaning making and meanings made versus the emotional and social well-being in survivor-caregiver dyads, (b) whether meanings made moderated or mediated the meaning-making-well-being associations at the within- and between-dyad level, and (c) whether meaning factors varied across or within persons.

Methods: Two hundred dyads completed measures of meaning making, meanings made, positive and negative affect, and loneliness for 28 consecutive posthospitalization days following hematopoietic cell transplantation. Computations were based on the actor-partner interdependence model and its extensions, using multilevel structural equation modeling.

The role of psychological flexibility in the meaning-reconstruction process in cancer: The intensive longitudinal study protocol.

Objectives: Meaning-making is an important element of adapting to disease. However, this process is still poorly understood and the theoretical model has not been comprehensively verified yet, particularly in terms of complexity, dynamics, and intraindividual variability. The aim of this study is a deeper understanding of the meaning-reconstruction process in cancer and empirical verification of the integrative meaning-making model of coping extended by the psychological flexibility model.

Daily analysis of autonomy support and well-being in patient-caregiver dyads facing haematopoietic cell transplantation.

Objectives: Caregivers may restore patient self-determination in disease by supporting their autonomy, and thus enhance their well-being. In this study, we investigated the between- and within-person effects of recipient-reported and provider-reported autonomy support on patient daily biopsychosocial well-being in patient-caregiver dyads following haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).

Design: A dyadic daily-diary study conducted for 28 days after patients' hospital discharge following HCT.

Interaction effect of coping self-efficacy and received support in daily life of hematopoietic cell transplant patient-caregiver dyads.

Objectives: According to the social cognitive theory, social support and self-efficacy may interact with each other i.e. compete or account jointly for better adaptation.

Physician-patient agreement on physicians' communication skills and visit satisfaction in dermatology clinics: a one-with-many design.

Background: There is limited research on physician-patient communication skills that covers both sides of the relationship. The aim of this study was to explore two indicators of effective physician-patient communication: the agreement of physicians' and patients' perspectives of physicians' communication skills in outpatient visits to dermatology clinics and the relationship of these perceptions of the consultation with their visit satisfaction.

Participants And Procedure: Dermatologists ( = 8) and their patients ( = 122) completed post-consultation dyadic measures of the content (what the physician communicates) and process (how the physician communicates) of the communication and satisfaction with a single office visit.

Daily stress and received social support in hematopoietic cell transplant patient-caregiver dyads.

Background And Objective: Reception of social support may foster adjustment in dyads facing cancer treatment. Still, understanding of the effects of received support in everyday life of patient-caregiver dyads remains limited. This study investigated whether the positive effect of daily received social support depends on daily stress levels and whether the effect differs by perspective (recipient vs.

Does physical activity lower the risk for metabolic syndrome: a longitudinal study of physically active older women.

Background: The associations between physical activity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) have been mainly found in cross-sectional studies. The aim of this longitudinal study was to examine the relationship between meeting step-based guidelines and changes in the risk of metabolic syndrome.

Methods: This study included data from older women (baseline age 62.

Daily received support and relational functioning in HCT survivors and their caregivers.

Objectives: Numerous authors have expressed their interest in adjustment and social support in the context of cancer. However, none of the previous studies has directly examined the models describing the links between daily social support and adjustment fluctuation, particularly at the relational level. This study aimed to verify the additive and buffering models of daily received support regarding the relational level of patient-caregiver relationship, that is, the relationship-related stress and relationship satisfaction following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT).

Protective Buffering and Individual and Relational Adjustment Following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Dyadic Daily-Diary Study.

Background: Supportive communication (e.g., protective buffering, PB) may impact individual and relational adjustment in patients following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and their caregivers.

Salutary effect of daily coping self-efficacy: impact on day-by-day coping to mood effects within dyads following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Little is known how coping self-efficacy (CSE) interacts with coping in dyad everyday life. The present study examined the moderating role of daily CSE in the relationship between coping and the next-day positive (PA) or negative (NA) affect in patient-caregiver dyads, following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This intensive longitudinal study was conducted during the first 28 days after post-transplant discharge.

Working Memory Capacity as a Predictor of Cognitive Training Efficacy in the Elderly Population.

Aging is associated with a decline in a wide range of cognitive functions and working memory (WM) deterioration is considered a main factor contributing to this. Therefore, any attempt to counteract WM decline seems to have a potential benefit for older adults. However, determination of whether such methods like WM trainings are effective is a subject of a serious debate in the literature.

Dyadic support and affect in patient-caregiver dyads following hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation: A diary study.

Objective: Cancer and its treatment are highly stressful events that may significantly affect the daily emotional well-being of patients and their informal caregivers. Patient- and caregiver-reported received and provided support may contribute to both dyad members' fluctuation in daily affect, but few studies have examined these associations from a dyadic perspective so far. The current study examined predictions derived from 3 theories on patterns of relations between subjectively assessed dyadic provided and received support and daily affect within dyad members: (a) invisible support theory, (b) the suggestion that providing support may be better than receiving it, and (c) beneficial supportive equity.

Coping Flexibility and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Older Adults: The Compensatory Effect of Co-rumination.

Coping flexibility, defined as a wide range of coping strategies, may be a promising construct in determining coping effectiveness, especially in conjunction with a person-centered approach. However, no studies have focused on these issues. The study aimed to identify the distinct, multidimensional patterns of strategies for coping with chronic health conditions and their association with changes in physical and psychological health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among older adults over a one month period.

Fluctuation in physical symptoms, coping, and mood in patients following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: assessing mediation effects using a daily diary approach.

This study examines the indirect effect between parallel fluctuation in daily physical symptoms, symptom-related coping, and mood in patients following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Two models were analyzed with a within-person mediating role of coping and mood, respectively. Physical symptoms, coping (brooding, reflection, co-rumination, positive reframing, venting, acceptance, and active coping), and positive (PA) and negative affect (NA) were reported by 229 patients for 28 consecutive evenings after post-transplant hospital discharge.

Positive and negative adjustment in couples undergoing infertility treatment: The impact of support exchange.

Background: Perceived social support relates to infertility-related distress in couples undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment. Studies examining the effect of other support types on both positive and negative adjustment among infertile couples are scarce or non-existent. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of support receipt, provision, invisibility (the discrepancy between one partner's received and the other partner's provided support), and equity (the discrepancy between each partner's received and provided support) on the positive (life purpose) and negative (depressive symptoms) indices of well-being in couples undergoing ART treatment.

Psychophysical well-being profiles in patients before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Objectives: The literature offers very few in-depth reports on the time directly before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Also, researchers have focused on selected aspects of psychophysical well-being and treated the sample as homogeneous. Thus, we chose to investigate distinct multidimensional well-being profiles (including anxiety, depressive symptoms, and health-related quality of life [HRQOL] domains) among patients just before HSCT, as well as profile predictors (generalized self-efficacy) and outcomes (transplant appraisal) on the basis of the transactional stress model.

Everyday life following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: decline in physical symptoms within the first month and change-related predictors.

Purpose: Lower quality of life, especially in the physical domain (Physical-QOL), is common in patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, few studies explore changes in the Physical-QOL, i.e.

Mixed Psychological Changes Following Mastectomy: Unique Predictors and Heterogeneity of Post-traumatic Growth and Post-traumatic Depreciation.

Post-traumatic growth (PTG) and its opposite-post-traumatic depreciation (PTD)-may be treated as important indicators of the patient quality of life. In the absence of studies on both, PTG and PTD in cancer patients, we investigated (1) coping strategies and support effectiveness as predictors of PTG and PTD in post-mastectomy women, (2) homogeneous classes with different intensity of PTG and PTD symptoms, and (3) correlates of class membership. Coping strategies (Brief COPE), support effectiveness (SSE-Q), PTG (PTGI), and PTD (negatively reworded items of PTGI) were measured in 84 post-mastectomy women (mean age = 62.

Associations of visceral fat area and physical activity levels with the risk of metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women.

This study was aimed at the evaluation of relationship between visceral fat area (VFA) and physical activity (PA) with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk in the physically active postmenopausal women. A total of 85 attendants of the University of the Third Age (U3A) aged 62.8 ± 5.

Well-Being and Institutional Care in Older Adults: Cross-Sectional and Time Effects of Provided and Received Support.

Background: The aim of the study was to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal effects of provided and received support on older adults' subjective well-being (positive affect and depression) and to examine whether being a recipient of institutional care moderates these effects.

Methods: Social support (provided and received), positive affect, and depressive symptoms were assessed twice (at baseline and 1 month later) for 277 older adults (age 77.39 ± 9.

Changes in well-being after myocardial infarction: Does coping matter?

Purpose: This study explores changes in emotional component of subjective well-being (SWB) of patients after their first myocardial infarction (MI) and two kinds of mechanisms: attribution of positive (PA) and negative (NA) affect and a mediation effect of coping.

Methods: Affect and coping strategies (problem-, emotion-, and avoidance-focused) were assessed in 121 male patients (age 52.26 ± 7.

Physical activity, body composition and general health status of physically active students of the University of the Third Age (U3A).

Objective: To evaluate general health status of a group of older adults, physically active students of the University of the Third Age (U3A), based on results of biochemical analyses of blood, assessment of their physical activity (PA) level, body composition and cognitive function with respect to age and sex.

Methods: A total of 104 students (85 women and 19 men, aged 63.7±6.
