“…The quality of life in the pretest is less than in the post-test and follow-up, meaning that mindfulness therapy improves the quality of life in women with bipolar disorder. This finding is consistent with the results of previous research (Ajele et al, 2021;Azizi et al, 2023;Dehghani et al, 2022;Goudarzi et al, 2021;Hertenstein et al, 2012;Leeuwerik et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2021;Moloud et al, 2022;Nejat et al, 2020;Riquelme-Marín et al, 2022;Roemer et al, 2014;Trudel-Fitzgerald et al, 2019). This disorder severely reduces individual functioning and decreases the quality of life of the patient and their family.…”

The primary objective of the current research was to determine the effectiveness of positive-focused mindfulness therapy on mental well-being, quality of life, and stress coping strategies in women diagnosed with bipolar disorder in Kashan city. This study was conducted as a quasi-experimental research with pre-test, post-test alongside a control group, and the research population included all women diagnosed with bipolar disorder attending psychiatric centers in Kashan. Initially, registration was carried out by contacting individuals who had records in these centers or were referred by specialists, and 30 of them, who met the study criteria, were selected. The sample was randomly divided into experimental and control groups, and the study was conducted on them. The positive-focused mindfulness therapy consisted of 12 sessions of 90 minutes of mindfulness training derived from the protocol by Tabatabai Nejad et al. (2018). Meanwhile, the control group did not receive any form of training. This research was concluded in March 2023. The instruments used in this study included the 26-item Quality of Life questionnaire (1996), the 45-item Mental Well-being questionnaire by Keyes and Magyar-Moe (2003), and the 18-item Life Stress questionnaire (1993). Variance analysis was employed to test the hypotheses in this study. The results showed that there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental group in comparison to the control group in terms of quality of life, mental well-being, and stress coping strategies (P<0.01). The findings from this research indicate the impact of positive-focused mindfulness therapy in improving the quality of life, mental well-being, and stress in women with bipolar disorder. Therefore, positive-focused mindfulness therapy, alongside other therapeutic methods, can be effective in improving the psychological symptoms of women with bipolar disorder.

“…In particular, unfortunate experiences of illness can be associated with fate, providence or luck, ie, the belief that one's health is predetermined and that little can be done to change the predetermined outcome. 46 So these traditional cultures are mapped in the daily lives of Chinese caregivers, and in some ways, both of these aspects add to the caregiver's burden of caregiving on both a physical and psychological level, negatively impacting their quality of life. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high level of attention and intervention for COPD caregivers to reduce their caregiving burden and improve their quality of life.…”

Purpose: Caregivers of COPD patients experience various caregiving burden, which is related to their quality of life. We aimed to explicitly explore whether social support and negative coping styles play the chain mediating roles in the relationship between the caregiving burden of caregivers of COPD patients and their health-related quality of life. Methods: We conducted a multicenter cross-sectional survey in four hospitals using a convenience sample. Participants who met the inclusion criteria completed five relevant scales, including a sociodemographic scale. One-way ANOVA and Pearson's method were used to analyze the data accordingly, and chain mediated effect values were estimated by bootstrap method to determine whether the model holds. Results: Among the 201 caregivers who participated in this study, the mean age was 55.94 years, most of them were female (61.2%), the mean caregiving burden score was 52.39 ± 14.65, and the quality of life score was 37.97 ± 3.55. Among them, age, gender, education, relationship with the patient, and the number of chronic diseases were the main factors affecting the quality of life score of the caregivers. According to Pearson results, there was a negative correlation between quality of life and caregiving burden, and negative coping styles. The model result showed that caregiving burden could directly and negatively predict quality of life, and also predict quality of life through the chain mediation of social support and negative coping styles. Conclusion:In China, caregivers of patients with COPD experience severe levels of caregiving burden and low quality of life. The combination of adequate perceived social support and lower negative coping can be effective in alleviating caregiving burden and improving their quality of life. Therefore, healthcare professionals should provide targeted guidance to caregivers with the help of social support and interventions that regulate negative coping styles.

“…Previous evidence has shown self-compassion buffers anxiety of cancer patients (Zhu et al, 2019), but the role of informal cancer caregiver could potentially be a barrier to this positive function of self-compassion against psychopathological symptoms. Although research suggests mindfulness- or self-compassion-based interventions are effective in reducing anxiety symptoms of cancer caregivers (Liu et al, 2020), the effectiveness of these interventions might partially depend on the patient’s cancer type as caregiving burden varies (Sörensen et al, 2002).…”

The moderated associations of self-compassion with physiological and psychological stress responses: Comparisons between cancer caregivers and non-caregivers

Self-compassion has been shown to be protective against stress. Whether its stress buffering effect differs between cancer caregivers and non-caregivers is unknown. This study examined the moderating effect of self-compassion among cancer caregivers relative to non-caregivers by recruiting cancer caregivers from the hospital and a community sample matching on sex and age. Participants completed a questionnaire which comprised the self-reported anxiety (STAI-6) and self-compassion (SCS-SF) measures, and administered cortisol sample collections with Salivette tubes at home. Whereas caregivers experienced higher diurnal cortisol level, the differential protective effects of self-compassion were only present against anxiety symptoms but not physiological stress.
