Psychological Well-Being, Self-Esteem, Quality of Life and Gender Differences as Determinants of Post-Traumatic Growth in Long-Term Knee Rotationplasty Survivors: A Cohort Study.
Children (Basel)
May 2023
Article Synopsis
- Rotationplasty (RP) is a surgical procedure for young children with bone tumors in the lower limb, particularly effective for those under six years old.
- While previous studies have shown good quality of life outcomes, this study focuses on the long-term psychological well-being of RP patients, specifically considering factors like gender, procreation, and parenting.
- The results indicated that the psychological health, self-esteem, and body image integration of long-term RP survivors are generally positive, with no major gender differences, although women exhibited higher cooperativeness compared to men.
Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic posed new challenges for integrated health care worldwide. Our study aimed to describe newly implemented structures and procedures of psychosocial consultation and liaison (CL) services in Europe and beyond, and to highlight emerging needs for co-operation.
Methods: Cross-sectional online survey from June to October 2021, using a self-developed 25-item questionnaire in four language versions (English, French, Italian, German).
Objective: According to the gene-environment interaction model the pathogenesis of psychosis relies on an adverse neuro-socio-developmental pathway. Perinatal stress represents an important risk factor for the development of psychosis because of the increasingly evident interference with socio-neuro-development in the earlier phases of life. We aim to investigate the correlation of perinatal risk factors with the onset of psychosis with a case-control-incidence study.
