“…Self-concept was assessed by the self-description questionnaire [26,-28] in all children over 7 years old. Hunter opinions personal expectations scale (HOPES) looked at hopefulness [29,30] which was assessed in children 12 years and over and completed by the child's parent. Both the child with HD (12 years and over) and their parent completed family environmental scale (FES) to assess family functioning [31][32][33].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes after definitive surgical correction for children with Hirschsprung's disease (HD) and the psychosocial impact of HD on the child and family. The total sample comprised 72 children with HD along with their families. The development of a condition-specific questionnaire measured the functional and psychosocial outcomes for children with HD with parental perception of their child's condition. Psychiatric measures were also examined to assess psychiatric morbidity. The greatest functional problem after definitive surgery for HD was faecal soiling (76%). The principle findings of the study were that (1) HD did not have a significant impact on the child's rate of psychiatric morbidity and levels of hopefulness in comparison to the normal population, (2) surgical and psychosocial functioning improved with increasing age and, (3) families remain troubled about their future with HD and dealing with psychosocial difficulties related to the condition (such as distress because of faecal soiling). Specifically, faecal soiling was found to be physically, emotionally and psychosocially distressing complication. Bowel functioning and psychosocial distress improves with increasing age and parental and medical professional support. Despite the significant impairment of faecal continence, we found that children/young adults with HD have minimal psychiatric morbidity, yet experience condition-specific psychosocial problems (e.g. embarrassment and distress/discomfort). HD does not increase the rate of clinical psychiatric morbidity in children and families with HD, but does determine the context of their daily distress and concern.

“…Hope was measured in W2 by the six‐item Hunter Opinions and Personal Expectations Scale questionnaire (H.O.P.E.S; Nunn et al., 1996). Participants were asked to respond to six items (e.g., “I generally believe that my future will be very active” ) on a five‐point Likert scale (1 = not at all to 5 = extremely well ; Nunn et al., 1996). In this study, Cronbach's alpha for hope was α = 0.88.…”

“…This questionnaire (H.O.P.E.S; Nunn et al., 1996) which assesses the essential components of hope such as wishes or desires and/or expectations and future orientation, may be more suitable for the current study than a questionnaire that predicts activities in relation to a person's future goals, through cognitive assessments and coping strategies, which based on a person's sense of determination regarding people future goals and successful experiences (Gallagher et al., 2020; Snyder et al., 1991).…”

Reclaiming hope: Subjective nearness to death as a moderator between posttraumatic stress symptoms and hope among older adults

2023

Perceiving one's remaining time until death, can serve as a source of resilience when faced with adversity in the second half of life. The current work is based on a prospective study and examines whether subjective nearness‐to‐death (SNtD) moderates the association between posttraumatic‐stress symptoms (PTSS) and hope among adults in the second half of life. The first wave was conducted after the end of a military conflict in the south of Israel, and included 170 participants (M = 66.61, SD = 9.16; age range 51–91), 115 of whom also participated in Wave 2. Participants filled out self‐reported questionnaires regarding background information, PTSS, SNtD and hope. A moderation effect was found, revealing that high levels of PTSS predicted lower levels of hope among those who felt close to their death, but not among those who felt far from their death. We suggest that one's evaluation of little time remaining to live, especially in old age, may be a significant factor exacerbating the negative consequences of PTSS on hope. The importance of the results to the research field is discussed.
