Aims: To explore the effect of post-stroke fatigue (PSF) on post-stroke depression (PSD) and examine the mediating effects of fear of disease progression (FOP) and resilience between PSF and PSD.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Methods: A total of 315 stroke patients participated in the questionnaire survey between November 2022 and June 2023. Data were collected using the General Information Questionnaire, Fatigue Severity Scale, Fear of Disease Progression Questionnaire-Short Form, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10 Item and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression Subscale. Data were analysed by descriptive analysis, Mann-Whitney U-test, Kruskal-Wallis H-test, Pearson or Spearman correlation, hierarchical regression analysis and mediation analysis.
Results: PSF had a significant positive total effect on PSD (β = .354, 95% CI: .251, .454). Additionally, FOP and resilience played a partial parallel-mediating role in the relationship between PSF and PSD (β = .202, 95% CI: .140, .265), and the total indirect effect accounted for 57.06% of the total effect.
Conclusions: FOP and resilience parallelly mediated the effect of PSF on PSD, which may provide a novel perspective for healthcare professionals in preventing PSD. Targeted interventions aiming at reducing PSF, lowering FOP levels and enhancing resilience may be possible ways to alleviate PSD.
Implications For The Profession And Patient Care: Interventions that tail to reducing PSF, lowering FOP levels and enhancing resilience may be considered as possible ways to alleviate PSD.
Impact: This study enriched the literature by exploring the effect of PSF on PSD and further examining the mediating effects of FOP and resilience between PSF and PSD. Findings emphasized the important effects of PSF, FOP and resilience on PSD.
Reporting Method: The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist for cross-sectional studies was used to guide reporting.
Patient Or Public Contribution: One tertiary hospital assisted participants recruitment.

Background: Return to work (RTW) serves as an indication for young and middle-aged colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors to resume their normal social lives. However, these survivors encounter significant challenges during their RTW process. Hence, scientific research is necessary to explore the barriers and facilitating factors of returning to work for young and middle-aged CRC survivors.

Background: Fear of pain (FOP) and fear avoidance belief (FAB), play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of chronic pain. However, the dynamics of these factors in post-surgical pain appear to differ, with FOP often learned from others rather than directly caused by painful experiences. Psychological resilience refers to an individual's capacity to adapt effectively to adversity, challenges, and threats, and may play a significant role in overcoming FOP and avoidance behavior.

Background: Postoperative patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) confront not only physiological challenges but also psychological and social adaptation issues. It is imperative to enhance psycho-social adjustment (PSA) levels and further improve the quality of life among this population. However, research on PSA levels in postoperative HCC patients is lacking, and investigations into its associations with psychological resilience, social support, and fear of progression (FoP) remain unexplored currently.

Article Synopsis
- People with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) often feel stressed and might get depressed or scared about their condition. This research looks at how humor could help them cope better.
- The study involved 77 German people with MS, and it checked how their humor skills related to their mood and fear of getting worse.
- Results showed that those who had a good sense of humor felt less depressed and scared about their condition, so using humor might be a good way to help them feel better, but more research is needed.
