Objective: To explore the mediating effect of social isolation between perceived social support and type D personality in gastrointestinal cancer survivors based on the WHITE heuristic cognitive-behavioral model of emotion cognition theory.
Methods: The study utilized a convenience sampling method to recruit 183 survivors of gastrointestinal cancer who were undergoing chemoradiotherapy. SPSS 26.0 was used to analyze the correlation among social isolation, perceived social support, and type D personality. Additionally, SmartPLS 3.0 was utilized to analyze the mediating role of social isolation in the relationships between perceived social support and type D personality.
Results: The study found that gastrointestinal cancer survivors scored 60.58 ± 10.94 for perceived social support, 36.25 ± 4.71 for social isolation, and 26.26 ± 5.84 for type D personality. We discovered that perceived social support has a negative correlation with social isolation and type D personality ( = -0.593, -0.396, both < 0.001), while social isolation was positively correlated with type D personality ( = 0.564, < 0.001). The association between type D personality and perceived social support was partially mediated by social isolation (VAF = 59.67%).
Conclusions: The association between type D personality and perceived social support is mediated by social isolation in gastrointestinal cancer survivors undergoing chemoradiotherapy. Clinical staff should prioritize evaluating social isolation among these survivors to enhance social support and potentially reduce the prevalence of type D personality traits.

A public health priority is the increasing number of persons with Parkinson's disease (PwP), and the need to provide them with support. We sought to synthesize the experiences of relatives or friends-family caregivers-who provide such support. This study was a scoping literature review modeled by the PRISMA guidelines.

Social isolation and health-related consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic may have significantly impacted quality of life in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic specifically on subjective cognition and social functioning in PwPD is poorly understood. We conducted a longitudinal analysis of changes in subjective cognitive and social functioning in PwPD before (T1, 2017-2019) and during (T2, 2021) the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prior research has linked the social determinants of health, such as food insecurity and housing instability, to experiences of interpersonal violence. However, little is known about how the social determinants of health are related to the risk for interpersonal violence among Black Americans living in rural, high-poverty communities in the Deep South. The intersection of rurality, racialized identity, and economic hardship makes this population particularly vulnerable to interpersonal violence, yet this population is underrepresented in the literature.

The origin of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) can be traced back to the Asian mouflon (Ovis gmelini), in the Near East around 10 000 years ago. Genetic divergence within mouflon populations can occur due to factors such as geographical isolation, social structures, and environmental pressures, leading to different affinities with domestic sheep. However, few studies have reported the extent to which mouflon sheep contribute to domestic sheep in different regions.
