The purpose of this study is to identify links between caregiver hope, caregiver coping behaviors, and caregivers' coaching versus dismissing emotion socialization (ES) beliefs in a pediatric cancer sample. Self-report measures. Caregivers ( = 183, 80.20% mothers; 58.5% white; 32.2% Hispanic) of youth undergoing cancer treatment (51.10% hematological malignancy, 15.30% brain or spinal [CNS] tumor, and 25.14% non-CNS solid tumor) for at least six weeks. We used a series of mediation models to examine links between caregivers' coping behaviors, hope, and ES beliefs. Caregivers' hope significantly mediated a positive relation between caregivers' coping and their emotion coaching beliefs, as well as an inverse relation between caregivers' maladaptive coping and their emotion dismissing beliefs. Enhancing caregivers' hope or adaptive coping may support caregivers' beliefs during the pediatric cancer experience. Our findings support future research to evaluate whether enhancing caregivers' hope or adaptive coping may help support evidence-based interventions that target ES beliefs and behaviors.

Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC, USA.
Background: Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD) are a critical healthcare crisis in the State of South Carolina (SC), with over 115,000 individuals diagnosed with ADRD accounting for 11% of South Carolinians aged 65 or over and 52% of South Carolinians aged 85 or over. Exorbitant resources are used to care for these individuals, including $650 million in Medicaid dollars and over 300 million hours of unpaid caregiver time. SC has enacted a statewide plan to address ADRD with the mission of promoting "a comprehensive approach to risk reduction, early detection and diagnosis, high-quality dementia services, and a coordinated and equitable continuum of care across…" Yet, ADRD does not present uniformly across SC.

College of Public Health, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, USA.
Background: Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are associated with substantial direct healthcare costs, including specialist care, medication, and indirect costs related to loss of productivity and informal caregiving. The economic burden of ADRD on families and caregivers often threatens the financial security of entire households. The consequences of this financial burden are linked to a worsened quality of life and treatment compliance, rapid disease progression, and lower survival.

Introduction: Physical and emotional loss from amputation and associated physical disability are associated with adverse physical and psychological experiences. However, little research, within the Ghanaian context, has focused on the impact of amputation on the well-being of amputees and their caregivers and the coping strategies they use to mitigate challenges experienced. Therefore, the present study explored the impact of amputation on the well-being of amputees and caregivers, and the coping strategies they employ to manage distress associated with amputation and caregiving.

University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Background: Research on the relationship between self-efficacy and symptoms of depression and anxiety among individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has been limited. Furthermore, few studies have explored this relationship within the context of dyadic couples (patient/care partners) rather than focusing solely on individuals. The purpose of this study was to examine the associations between self-efficacy in patient/care partner couples dealing with mild cognitive impairment and their symptoms of depression and anxiety using a dyadic analysis approach.
