“…Social support (practical support, emotional support, and social integration) was assessed with the seven-item short form of the German Social Support Questionnaire [F-SozU ( 44 , 45 ); self-report instrument; Cronbach’s alpha in our sample 0.92]. Total scores range from 7 to 35; higher scores are indicative of higher perceived social support.…”

IntroductionNon-adherence to immunosuppressive medication is regarded as an important factor for graft rejection and loss after successful renal transplantation. Yet, results on prevalence and relationship with psychosocial parameters are heterogeneous. The main aim of this study was to investigate the association of immunosuppressive medication non-adherence and psychosocial factors.MethodsIn 330 adult renal transplant recipients (≥12 months posttransplantation), health-related quality of life, depression, anxiety, social support, and subjective medication experiences were assessed, and their associations with patient-reported non-adherence was evaluated.Results33.6% of the patients admitted to be partially non-adherent. Non-adherence was associated with younger age, poorer social support, lower mental, but higher physical health-related quality of life. There was no association with depression and anxiety. However, high proportions of clinically relevant depression and anxiety symptoms were apparent in both adherent and non-adherent patients.ConclusionIn the posttransplant follow-up, kidney recipients with lower perceived social support, lower mental and higher physical health-related quality of life, and younger age can be regarded as a risk group for immunosuppressive medication non-adherence. In follow-up contacts with kidney transplant patients, physicians may pay attention to these factors. Furthermore, psychosocial interventions to optimize immunosuppressive medication adherence can be designed on the basis of this information, especially including subjectively perceived physical health-related quality of life and fostering social support seems to be of importance.

“…Perceived social support was measured using the 7-item Short Form Social Support Questionnaire (F-SozU; [ 18 ]). The F-SozU assesses perceived social support on a 5-point Likert scale (ranging from 1 = not at all to 5 = absolutely), with higher scores indicating higher perceived social support [ 19 ]. Cronbach's α in the current sample was 0.92.…”

Differences in emotional responses in living and deceased donor kidney transplant patients

et al. 2016

BackgroundThe psychological functioning of living donor (LD) and deceased donor (DD) recipients are important factors for emotional adjustment to transplantation. This study investigated differences in medical, sociodemographic and emotional factors between these two groups.MethodsA total of 241 kidney transplant recipients (68 LD, 173 DD) completed questionnaires on emotional and behavioural responses to transplantation, including quality of life, anxiety and depression, social support and experience with immunosuppressive medication.ResultsOverall, LD recipients were younger, better educated, more often employed and had a shorter duration of dialysis prior to transplantation. Findings indicate that LD recipients expressed more guilt towards the donor than DD recipients. In addition, more LD recipients experienced clinically significant levels of anxiety. Both groups experienced high levels of negative effects of immunosuppressant medication. No differences between LD and DD recipients were found for gender, relationship status, time since transplantation or transplant rejection treatment during the last 12 months. In addition, perceived social support and quality of life were comparable between the two groups.ConclusionsFeelings of guilt and anxiety may be an important focus for interventions to improve emotional adjustment to transplantation, especially in LD recipients.

BackgroundWith a prevalence of 3 to 8% among women of reproductive age, severe premenstrual symptoms are very common. Symptoms range from emotional and cognitive to physical changes. Severe symptoms (that is, premenstrual syndrome) can have a strong impact on everyday functioning and quality of life. Impairment can be as serious as that of dysthymic disorders. Many affected women receive either no treatment at all or are unsatisfied with their treatment. Although there is some evidence for the reduction of distress through cognitive behavioural therapy, there are only a small number of randomised controlled trials carefully investigating the efficacy of this psychotherapeutic approach. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a cognitive behavioural self-help treatment for women suffering from premenstrual syndrome.Methods/designThe study is conducted as a randomised controlled trial. The complex diagnostic assessment includes the completion of a symptom diary over two consecutive cycles and a telephone interview. Eligible women are randomly assigned to either a treatment or a wait-list control group. The intervention is based on cognitive behavioural therapy principles and is provided via the internet. It consists of 14 different modules on which participants work over 8 consecutive weeks. In addition to written information, participants receive email feedback from a clinical psychologist on a weekly basis. Participants assigned to the wait-list receive the treatment after the end of the waiting period (8 weeks). The primary outcome measure is the Premenstrual Syndrome Impairment Measure. Secondary outcomes include the Premenstrual Syndrome Coping Measure, the Short-Form Social Support Questionnaire, the Questionnaire for the Assessment of Relationship Quality, and the Perceived Stress Scale. Data is collected during the premenstrual (luteal) phase at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 6-month follow-up.DiscussionSo far, there is no study investigating internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy for premenstrual syndrome. The programme approaches the problem of high prevalence in combination with severe impairment and insufficient treatment options.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01961479, 9 October 2013.
