Effect of perceived stress on psychological distress in hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing TACE: the mediating role of experiential avoidance and the moderating role of trait mindfulness.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the moderated mediation mechanism of the relationships among perceived stress, psychological distress, experiential avoidance and trait mindfulness of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in China.

Methods: This study utilized a cross-sectional approach to gather data from 458 HCC patients undergoing TACE. Participants completed self-report measures assessing psychological distress, perceived stress, experiential avoidance and trait mindfulness.

Effectiveness of online mindfulness-based interventions for cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. Cancer negatively affects individuals' quality of life and overall health. Mindfulness-based interventions appear to be promising in the reduction of cancer- and treatment-related symptoms.

Effectiveness of online mindfulness-based interventions for improving mental health in patients with physical health conditions: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

We aimed to determine the effectiveness of online mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for improving mental health in patients with physical health conditions. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Elsevier, and CINAHL published through September 2019 were searched. Two reviewers selected trials, conducted a critical appraisal, and extracted the data.

A randomized clinical trial of guided self-help intervention based on mindfulness for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: effects and mechanisms.

Background: Compared with face-to-face mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), online mindfulness interventions may be more convenient for patients with limited resources and can provide self-help mindfulness methods to improve the quality of life of cancer patients. This study investigated the effects of guided self-help mindfulness-based interventions (GSH-MBIs) on psychological distress, quality of life and sleep quality in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and explored the underlying mechanisms.

Methods: A total of 122 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were randomly divided into the intervention group or the conventional treatment group.

Relationship between Mindfulness and Psychological Distress in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma: The Mediation Effect of Self-regulation.

Objectives: In this study, we examine the relationship among mindfulness, psychological distress, and self-regulation, to determine whether self-regulation plays a mediating role in the relationship between mindfulness and psychological distress among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Methods: Participants completed questionnaires including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Five-facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), and the Self-regulation Scale (SRS). We used structural equation modeling to analyze the relationships among psychological distress, mindfulness, and self-regulation, with self-regulation as a mediator.

How Exercise Protects Against Mild Cognitive Impairment in Nursing Home-Dwelling Older Adults: A Path Analysis.

To explore how exercise protects against mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from physical, psychological, and social perspectives, we conducted a cross-sectional study in four nursing homes in Changchun, China, selected by convenience sampling. A total of 338 older adults aged 60 years or more with normal cognition or MCI were included. Data including demographic characteristics, exercise habits, frailty status, depression, sleep quality, social support, and cognitive status were collected.

Taichi exercise for self-rated sleep quality in older people: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: Self-reported sleep disorders are common in older adults, resulting in serious consequences. Non-pharmacological measures are important complementary interventions, among which Taichi exercise is a popular alternative. Some experiments have been performed; however, the effect of Taichi exercise in improving sleep quality in older people has yet to be validated by systematic review.
