Structural equation model based on salutogenesis theory for evaluating factors affecting health-related quality of life in adolescents with moyamoya disease.

Moyamoya disease is a cerebrovascular disorder and a significant chronic health concern requiring regular monitoring to control the disease and its related complications. We examined a hypothetical model by integrating the concepts of a structural health-related quality-of-life model based on the salutogenesis theory, and to identify how social support, sense of coherence, and stress contribute to health behaviors, subjective health status, and quality of life in adolescents with moyamoya disease among 239 adolescents in Korea. A structural equation model was used to analyze the data.

Cultural factors affecting the self-care of cancer survivors: An integrative review.

Purpose: For cancer survivors, self-care is an important factor that can improve health and quality of life. Cultures known to inform human behavior can influence self-care, such as prioritizing various self-care practices or utilizing other resources. The impact of culture on cancer survivors' self-care has not been adequately investigated to date.

A structural equation model of developing a partnership between pediatric nurses and parents of children with cancer in South Korea.

Purpose: A trust-based cooperative partnership between pediatric nurses and parents of children with cancer is a significant factor in improving parents' coping abilities and reducing their anxiety. We aimed to identify factors and construct a structural equation model of developing a partnership between pediatric nurses and parents of children with cancer in South Korea. The model was based on Lazarus and Folkman's stress-coping-adaptation model.

The Moyamoya Health Behavior Scale for Adolescent Patients: Measurement Tool Development and Psychometric Evaluation.

Clinical practitioners treating moyamoya disease recognize the need for a systematic approach to better manage the disease in adolescent patients with the disease. : This study aimed to develop and evaluate the validity and reliability of a disease scale which measures the health-related behaviors of adolescents with moyamoya disease. : The final 12-item Moyamoya-HB Scale for adolescents was categorized by three sub-domains: implementation of treatment for moyamoya disease (four items); health promoting behavior for moyamoya disease (four items); and health coping behavior for moyamoya disease (four items).
