IntroductionThis cross‐sectional study analyzed the fear of falling (FOF) and associated influencing factors in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).MethodsPatients on MHD (n = 131) were assessed using the short Falls Efficacy Scale International, Generalized Anxiety Disorder‐7, Patient Health Questionnaire‐9, Perceived Social Support Scale, and Barthel Index questionnaires.ResultsThe total FOF score was positively correlated with total anxiety and depression scores but negatively correlated with the total score of activities of daily living. There were significant differences in FOF among different age groups, employment status, the use of walkers, living arrangements (living alone), and having a history of falling in the past year. Age, employment status, history of falls in the past year, and anxiety score were significant risk factors for FOF in MHD patients.ConclusionFOF in MHD patients is strongly associated with age, employment status, history of falls in the past year, and anxiety level.

This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of benefit finding on the relationship between family care and self-management behaviors in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to inform improvements in patients' self-management behaviors. This survey was conducted from November 2023 to February 2024 with a cross-sectional design and convenience sampling among patients with chronic kidney disease in a tertiary care hospital in Chengdu City. Participants were prompted to complete a demographic questionnaire, the Family APGAR Index (APGAR), the Benefit Finding Scale (BFS), and the Chronic Disease Self-management Behavior Measuring Scale (CDSMBMS). The analysis of the data was carried out using SPSS 29.0 and AMOS Statistics 28.0. A total of 529 patients were enrolled in this research, with a majority of females (53.1%). The mean total score of CDSMBMS was 19.19 ± 7.54. Family care and benefit finding were significantly positively associated with self-management behaviors (all p < 0.01). In addition, benefit finding fully mediated the association between family care and self-management behaviors (β = 0.258, p = 0.000, 95% CI = 0.184–0.342). Our findings indicate that benefit finding plays a full mediator in the relationship between family care and self-management behaviors among patients with CKD. Thus, healthcare professionals should develop evidence-based interventions in future studies to enhance family care and benefit finding to promote self-management behaviors in people with CKD.

BackgroundThe active coping strategies of family members can help breast cancer patients better handle the crisis, and family adaptation is a manifestation of the family's active coping with the crisis. In the study of breast cancer, a disease that predominantly affects women, we explored the influence of spouses on patients' family adaptation. This aspect has not been explored in previous studies.PurposeIn recent years, with the development of family stress coping theory, cancer coping styles have shifted from an individual focus to a whole-family approach. This shift has the potential to help families of cancer patients adapt to the crisis. This study aimed to explore the correlation between dyadic coping, family adaptation, and benefit finding in couples with breast cancer.MethodsUsing convenience sampling, the study included 325 pairs consisting of breast cancer patients and their spouses who attended breast surgery, oncology, and chemotherapy sessions between April and November 2023. The survey utilized the General Information Questionnaire for patients and spouses, the Dyadic Coping Scale, the Benefit Finding Scale, and the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0 and Amos 24.0 software.ResultsIn the actor effect of dyadic coping on family adaptation, the benefit finding of patients and their spouses played a mediating role. Regarding the partner effect (B = 0.019, 95% CI = 0.003–0.045, P < 0.05), the dyadic coping of spouses indirectly affected the family adaptation of patients through the benefit findings of patients. The patient's dyadic coping can directly affect the spouse's family adaptation. The spouse's dyadic coping can influence the patient's benefit finding.ConclusionThere is a partial interaction between breast cancer patients and their spouses' dyadic coping, benefit finding, and family adaptation. Therefore, clinical staff should promptly identify patients and spouses with poor coping abilities and provide them with positive psychological interventions to enhance the dyadic coping abilities of both partners and assist them in overcoming the problems encountered during the treatment process, ultimately helping them better cope with family crises.
