“…Among BCSs, the economic burden caused by disease treatment, nursing and loss of work, the serious decline of physical function and the dependence on daily nursing may facilitate thoughts of uselessness. Survivors may define themselves as the burden of the whole family, and produce negative self-perception of themselves, which is the source of stigma 9 . Moreover, patients with both cancer and comorbidities may have a more severe decline in physical function, require more nursing and care, and therefore may have a greater degree of stigma.…”

“…Corrigan and colleagues distinguished stigma in felt/perceived stigma (the awareness of the discriminatory stereotype around the own illness), enacted stigma (being discriminated against or treated unfairly by others in actual encounters), and internalized/self stigma (internalization and acceptance of the discriminatory stereotype) 7 , 8 . BCSs inevitably face the decline of physical function and severe psychological pressure, and encounter difficulties in work and interpersonal communication 5 , 9 . Coupled with the high cost of treatment and care, cancer survivors often feel that they are a serious burden to their families, resulting in self-denial and stigma 10 .…”

This study aimed to explore the association between types and numbers of comorbidities and stigma among breast cancer survivors (BCSs). A cross-sectional study was conducted among 937 BCSs in Shanghai Cancer Rehabilitation Club. All participants were asked to fill in an online questionnaire including Stigma Scale for Chronic Illnesses 8-item version (SSCI-8) and questions on sociodemographic characteristics and health status. Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the association between comorbidities and stigma, adjusting for confounding factors. Results showed that nearly 70% of the participants had one or more comorbidities. The participants with stroke, digestive diseases or musculoskeletal diseases had significantly higher stigma than those without the above comorbidities. In addition, stigma was higher among survivors in the group with a greater number of comorbidities. Thus, it is important to strengthen the management of stigma in BCSs, especially for those with comorbidities.

“…Patients with breast cancer who have no activity or low social relationships can cause a decrease in low mental health (Yang et al, 2022). Previous studies indicated that breast cancer patients experiencing stable physical health and engaged in work tend to exhibit higher mental HRQoL (Carreira et al, 2018;Jin, 2022). This correlation might be attributed to the supportive environment fostered by colleagues and the potential diversion of the patient's focus away from their illness (Finck et al, 2018).…”

Background: The concern surrounding the physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with breast cancer emerged during COVID-19. However, there is a lack of sufficient studies that have specifically addressed this issue. It is crucial to emphasize the evaluation of this aspect as it significantly impacts the enhancement of future physical and mental HRQoL for these patients.Purpose: This study investigated the determinants of physical and mental HRQoL among patients with breast cancer during COVID-19.Methods: In a cross-sectional study conducted between September and October 2022, participation involved 260 patients diagnosed with breast cancer, selected through convenience sampling. Our observation focused on assessing the outcomes of physical and mental HRQoL using the Short Form (SF-12) questionnaire for data collection. Additionally, the data underwent analysis via binary logistic regression.Results: Respondents aged <50 years (p=0.010; aOR=2.08; 95% CI=1.18–3.67), unemployed (p=0.022; aOR=2.29; 95% CI=1.16–4.53), and had high depression (p=0.026; aOR=2.41; 95% CI=1.13–5.12) have a more likelihood to have low physical HRQoL. In addition, unemployed respondents (p=<0.001; aOR=4.15; 95% CI=2.14–8.04) and had high anxiety (p=0.004; aOR=2.71; 95% CI=1.38–5.33) have more likelihood to have low mental HRQoL.Conclusion: In this study, it was found that anxiety, depression, and unemployed respondents were associated with a higher likelihood of experiencing lower physical and mental HRQoL. Nurses and healthcare workers should prioritize addressing psychological issues such as anxiety and depression among breast cancer patients, emphasizing the necessity for interventions aimed at alleviating these concerns.

“…Recent research highlighted the relationship between social support and the quality of life at work and the consequent reduction of stress (Eisapareh et al, 2022). A previous study revealed that social support is a factor that influences the quality of work life of working women who are cancer survivors (Jin, 2022). Social support has been found among the most important health resources related to the work environment (Hämmig, 2017;Hämmig and Vetsch, 2021) as is the case in the health area, where it was reported that nurses who perceived better social support were less likely to develop negative consequences on their health (Labrague and de los Santos, 2021).…”

Social support and general self-efficacy: Two predictors of quality of life at work in Ecuadorian teachers

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The quality of life at work has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, generating labor overload, higher levels of stress, and a reduction in workers’ productivity. In the education sector, thousands of teachers were affected by the change to a new online work modality and the acquisition of new work tools. The aim of this study was to determine whether social support and general self-efficacy (GSE) significantly predict the quality of life at work in a group of Ecuadorian teachers. A total of 300 teachers of both genders, whose ages ranged between 21 and 64 years, participated in the study. For measurements, the Duke-UNK-11 General Sale Scale and the Scale of Quality of Life in the CVT-Gohisalo Work were used. The predictive analysis was performed through linear regression. The results show a moderately significant relationship between social support, GSE, and quality of life at work. Similarly, the multiple regression analysis confirms that social support and self-efficacy are variables that significantly predict the quality of life at work. The findings of this research also confirm that teachers with higher levels of GSE report higher levels of quality of life at work. In conclusion, the prediction of the variables social support and GSE in the quality of life at work of Ecuadorian teachers is confirmed. The implications of the predictive model mediating quality of life at work are discussed.
