“…Furthermore, motivation and belief in their own abilities are two internal states required to cope with the difficulties caused by PD symptoms ( 5 ) that may have supported the coping mechanisms of participants in MdlV who reported feeling motivated at the end of the sessions and believing more in themselves, in the possibility of improvement, or in their ability to communicate despite imperfect speech. This mechanism can be related to the experience of hope, a sentiment that plays a key role in the process of care and resilience in chronic illness ( 21 ).…”

The COVID-19 related confinement and social distancing had negative consequences on the health of individuals living with Parkinson's Disease (PD). In collaboration with a non-profit organization, we developed and implemented a daily online vocal stimulation group named “Musculation de la Voix” (MdlV) in April 2020. To better understand the potential of MdlV to diversify existing services available to people with PD experiencing vocal symptoms, this study aimed to explore participants' experience and perception of MdlV in terms of participation, motivations, feelings, perceived changes, and appreciation. The 45 individuals who registered to the Summer 2020 Semester of MdlV were invited to complete an online ten-question survey. Responses to the four close-ended questions were analyzed using descriptive statistics while statements provided in response to the six open-ended questions were subjected to an inductive qualitative content analysis. Thirty seven participants completed the survey. Results revealed that the sample of respondents was mostly constituted of individuals who were engaged in this activity since its very beginning (62,2%), participated daily (59,5%), intended to keep participating in the activity (97,3%), and had never received speech-language therapy (SLT) services before (72,97%). The qualitative analysis yielded one theme relating to prior services: “Previous SLT services are variable and perceived as beneficial but with limitations,” and three themes pertaining to MdlV: “Seeking improvement and support as initial motivations to engage in MdlV,” “Unanticipated benefits and desired gains catalyzing motivation to participate in MdlV,” and “Perceived limitations of MdlV and persisting needs.” Our study participants' engagement and motivation toward MdlV as well as the benefits they perceived in relation to this activity suggest that an online vocal stimulation group may be a promising complement to currently limited SLT services. As limitations and persisting needs were also identified, future studies are required to elucidate what aspect of MdlV works, for whom and how.

“…This relational co-construction of hope “can increase the potential for uncertainty and abstraction even further, all the while maintaining the positive meaning-making allure of being hopeful” [ 6 ] (p. 1). Recently, a synthesis of review studies stressed that “hope was conceptualized as an expectation (appraisal of a future outcome), resilience (endurance of adversity), and a desire (expression of meaning)” [ 8 ] (p. 197).…”

Background: Hope is widely considered a subjective phenomenon able to bring beneficial consequences to human health and existence. Maintaining hope amid a life-threatening disease and during palliative care is critical. The study aims to examine the effectiveness of a psychosocial supportive Hope Promotion Program (HPP) in enhancing hope, comfort, and quality of life in Portuguese adult outpatients with advanced and progressive chronic illness. Method: Using a parallel Randomized Control Trial (RCT) with pre-post design, 56 cancer outpatients from two day hospitals. Participants were randomly assigned to either a control group (n = 28) or an intervention group (n = 28). The primary outcome measure was hope. Secondary measures included comfort and quality of life. Participants were assessed at baseline, day 15, and day 30 of follow-up. Results: Baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups. In the intervention group, there was a significant increase in the total hope scores after the HPP (day 15). Significant differences were still present after one month (p < 0.05). There was also a significant increase in comfort and quality of life scores in the intervention group one month after HPP (p = 0.018). Conclusions: The HPP may be an effective intervention to increase hope and improve comfort and quality of life among palliative patients. Future studies should increase sample size, diversify settings, and include longer and more detailed follow-ups.

“…Hope is also to be conceptualized as an intrinsic force associated with better emotional and stress coping ( Lu and Cui, 2016 ). It not only plays an indispensable role in developing positive anticipatory goals but is also an essential resource to help individuals cope with physical and mental pain ( Olsman, 2020 ). Berendes et al (2010) found that hope can reduce stress and depression in individuals; Alacorn et al (2013) combined results from 26 studies involving 4,023 participants and found a significant negative association between hope and depression.…”

As at a high-risk group of psychological distress, nurses generally experience varying degrees of stress, anxiety, and depression. This paper identifies the positive factors that may negatively regulate the psychological pain of clinical nurses and their mechanisms of action, providing reliable references for clinical nurse support management. The effects and mechanisms of hope and the two components of grit consistency of interest and perseverance of effort) on clinical nurses’ psychological distress (depression, anxiety, and stress) were observed in this study. A total of 635 Chinese clinical nurses (90.4% female) completed an anonymous questionnaire for the survey. As expected, hope, consistency of interest, and perseverance of effort were negatively correlated with the three indicators of psychological distress (r = −0.21 ~ −0.38, p < 0.01). Path analysis results showed that hope significantly mediated the negative effect of consistency of interest on psychological distress, with an effect of 12.96%. Hope also covered up the perseverance of effort on psychological distress, the effect of 110.63%. In the influence of consistency of interest and perseverance of effort on psychological distress, hope contributed a vital mediating. Based on these results, it can be concluded that grit and hope have protective effects on psychological distress in clinical nurses. Significantly increasing the level of hope or grit may effectively prevent and reduce psychological distress in clinical nurses.
