Psychological characteristics of patients with inflammatory bowel disease during the first wave of COVID-19.

Introduction: Inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)) are chronic, immune-mediated diseases with unclear aetiology, characterized by relapsing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. These conditions significantly impair patients' physical and mental condition and quality of life.

Aim: To investigate the impact of the current pandemic situation on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients' psychological status and to determine factors that mediate the level of depression, anxiety, and health-related quality of life.

Improving disease management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease: the potential role of self-concordant health goals.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic gastrointestinal conditions that significantly impact patients' quality of life. Previous research indicates that patients with IBD have a higher prevalence of anxiety compared to the general population and other chronic diseases. This pilot study aimed to investigate the relationships between goal integration, positive and negative emotions, goal self-efficacy, and trait anxiety as the outcome variable, focusing on patients' self-management strategies.

[Correlation of social support and healthy lifestyle].

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death accounting for 4 million deaths per year in Europe. Psychosocial factors explain at least 25-40% of the disease's prevalence beyond the well-known lifestyle factors. Isolation in adulthood is one of the main sources of chronic stress that raises the incidence of the disease.

Preferred ways of giving birth in non-pregnant and pregnant nulliparous women: the role of control beliefs.

Purpose: To explore the association between delivery-specific, health-related control beliefs and preferred ways of delivery in nulliparous Hungarian women. Moreover, since data about the delivery-specific control beliefs and delivery-related preferences of non-pregnant nulliparous women are lacking, the present study also seeks to provide descriptive information in this regard.

Methods: A total of 984 Hungarian nulliparous women (26.

Social relations in late adolescence and incident coronary heart disease: a 38-year follow-up of the Swedish 1969-1970 Conscription Cohort.

Objectives: Increasing evidence suggests that low social support is associated with an elevated risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Earlier studies in this field were conducted in predominantly middle-aged or older samples; thus, the associations reported previously may have been confounded by subclinical manifestations of the disease. We investigated whether social relationships in late adolescence, that is, well before symptoms of subclinical disease manifest, are associated with CHD during a 38-year follow-up.

Are vital exhaustion and depression independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease morbidity?

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the concurrent effects of vital exhaustion and depression on the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity.

Method: The sample of this representative, 4-year longitudinal study comprised 2,725 participants (43.56% male, Mage = 58.

The Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Correlates with Psycho-Neuro-Inflammatory Factors in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease.

Background: Psychosocial stress and depression have been recognized as major risk factors of coronary artery disease (CAD). Although monocytes are known to be key players in atherosclerosis, monocyte-based associations with psychoneuroendocrino-immuno-inflammatory (PNI) markers have not been widely investigated in stable CAD.

Objective: We examined associations between the monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and key PNI markers in stable CAD.
