“…Thus, we find no significant relationship between grandparenting and the physical health of grandparents. In contrast to previous literature asserting that grandparenting, especially intensive grandparenting, has an adverse effect on physical health of the elderly (Jendrek, 1993;Hayslip & Shore, 2000;Chen & Liu, 2012;Musil et al, 2017;Yalcin et al, 2018), our finding do not suggest that grandparenting accelerates physical health decline. Similar to Ku et al (2013) and Liu et (2019), our interpretation is that the net effect of grandparenting on physical health is neutral in the shortrun, while the negative impact of grandparenting on physical health is more salient over the long run.…”

“…The potential physical and psychological sacrifices of grandparenting are well known and fall well within role strain theory (Goode, 1960). Specifically, grandparenting can impair the health of grandparents when they are, involved in intense and custodial grandchild caregiving (Hayslip & Shore, 2000;Ku et al, 2013;Musil et al, 2017;Yalcina et al, 2018).…”

“…Positively associated with DSM activities were included being female and having a religious preference. Women are more likely to participate in activities to improve depressive symptoms than men which is consistent with a previous study of persons having depression (44). An interesting finding in this study was that having a religious preference had a significant impact on DSM activities.…”

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the current status of depression self-management (DSM), and to identify influencing factors of DSM among Chinese community residents.Methods: Stratified random sampling methodology was adopted in this cross-sectional survey. Respondents completed a collection of self-administered questionnairesResults: The majority of participants were female (72.2%), having a mean age of 39 years (SD = 17.3). The total mean score on the DSSM was low (31.63 ± 4.69). Using multiple linear regression analysis, age ranging from 25 to 64 years old (Beta = −0.176, p = 0.008), having personal stigma (Beta = −0.143, p = 0.020) and perceived stigma (Beta = 0.127, p = 0.037), and having a nuclear family structure (Beta = −0.313, p = 0.046), good family function (Beta = 0.278, p < 0.001) and good help-seeking attitude (Beta = 0.159, p = 0.008) were associated with DSSM-knowledge. Older age (≥65 years) (Beta = −0.152, p = 0.034), higher CES-D scores (Beta = −0.162, p = 0.005), having a father with a bachelor's degree or higher level of education (Beta = −0.134, p = 0.047), being female (Beta = 0.147, p = 0.012), indicating a religious preference (Beta = 0.145, p = 0.017) and having good family function (Beta = 0.247, p = 0.001) were significantly associated with DSSM-activities.Conclusions: Reducing stigma related to depression and enhancing help-seeking attitudes may be potential strategies for managing depressive symptoms among Chinese community residents.

“…2. Twenty surveys of patient or public recommendations or use of self-care interventions for depression and/or anxiety were included, 5 from Australia [23][24][25][26][27], 1 from Austria [28], 2 from Germany [29,30], 2 from Italy [31,32], 1 from Korea [33], 1 from the Netherlands [34], 1 from Portugal [35], 2 from Taiwan [36,37], and 5 from the USA [38][39][40][41][42]. The surveys were online, postal, telephone, or face-to-face surveys of consumers or the general public, in which opinions were solicited on selfhelp strategies to manage symptoms of depression (n = 15), or both depression and anxiety (n = 5).…”

Background: Self-care refers to a range of activities and approaches undertaken by an individual to maintain health and manage ill-health which may include various complementary or alternative approaches. The purpose of this study was to identify the self-care approaches used by the general public for depression and anxiety, assess the usefulness of Cochrane reviews for informing decisions on self-care and highlight any gaps in the evidence. Methods: Searches were carried out for surveys of self-care for anxiety and/or depression and for Cochrane reviews and protocols of interventions with potential for use in self-care. Data was extracted from each review and Plain Language Summaries assessed for content, consistency and readability. Interventions reported in surveys and in Cochrane reviews were compared and effectiveness of each assessed. Results: Surveys from 10 countries reported a variety of self-care interventions, 17 of which appeared in 2 or more surveys and which included dietary supplements, herbal medicines, mind-body therapies and various forms of exercise. Twenty-two reviews and 5 protocols on potential self-care interventions were identified, the majority in depression. Twelve interventions were judged effective or promising, most with small effect sizes. Readability of summaries was highly variable: half were written at college/university level. Several commonly used approaches were not covered by Cochrane reviews. Conclusions: This study has revealed the interventions currently used by the general public which are judged effective or promising based on Cochrane reviews. Some disparity is highlighted between interventions used in practice and the availability of reliable evidence, and in the presentation of effectiveness and safety. Being able to direct patients to reliable, accessible information is a positive step in ensuring effective patient-centered, evidenceinformed care. Addressing gaps, ensuring consistency and increasing usability of evidence intended for the general public will support this goal.
