Traumatic knee injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) sprains, have detrimental effects on long-term health as they initiate a cycle of chronic pain, physical inactivity, and disability. Alterations in strength and neural activity are factors that contribute to rehabilitation failure after ACL reconstruction (ACLR); however, psychological deficits also hinder rehabilitative success. Neural impairments observed following injury and ACLR may be associated with psychological dysfunction, a phenomenon defined as learned helplessness (LH). The proposed framework establishes the link between depressed neural activity and psychological dysfunction after ACL injury using foundational evidence from neuroscience and psychology to support the integration of LH into recovery.

Introduction: Aligned with the dual-factor model, this study aims to investigate why discharged patients seek online health information, considering the complexity of patients' dilemmas. Additionally, we account for specific cultural context factor in China and seek to examine the role of living with children in mitigating the dilemmas faced by discharged patients in their pursuit of additional online information.

Methods: We empirically tested the research model using data collected from 292 discharged patients.

A longed lack of control over harmful stimuli can lead to learned helplessness (LH), a significant factor in depression. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying LH, and eventually behavioral despair, remain largely unknown. The deleted in colorectal cancer (dcc) gene is associated with the risk of depression.

This cross-sectional study investigated the factors affecting pain intensity among Korean women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (n = 246). Data included pain site and intensity, physical function, fatigue, medication attitudes, and learned helplessness (LH) from patient self-report, and Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) from chart review. The overall pain intensity was 3.

Understanding the relationship between Learned Helplessness (LH) and Psychological Capital (PsyCap) is essential for developing effective interventions for Indigenous adolescents. This study explored the role of PsyCap as a mediator in the link between LH and Psychological Well-Being (PWB). Total of 173 Indigenous adolescents (85 boys and 88 girls) from sixth to eleventh grade at government residential schools.
