“…A secondary data analysis research design was used, which merged data from two studies conducted in Indonesia 17 and Taiwan. In Indonesia a cross sectional research design was implemented which aimed to explore the mediator of coping among patients with advanced cancer 17 . The study conducted in Taiwan used a randomized control trial research design to explore the effectiveness of navigator for a group of patients with cancer.…”

Background We assumed that patients in a country with lower economic development will have more psychological distress and problems than an economically stronger country. Therefore, the aims of this study were to determine whether advanced cancer patients in Indonesia have more psychological distress and experience more problems contributing to distress than a similar group of patients in Taiwan. We also examined the determinants of psychological distress. Methods We conducted a secondary data analysis comparing the data from 286 Indonesian and 70 Taiwanese participants, focusing on distress score and the Problem List (PL) of the Distress Thermometer. Descriptive analysis, Chi-Square test, independent t-test, One-way Anova and multiple linear regression with enter method were applied to analyse the data. Results Overall, more Indonesian respondents experienced distress and had more problems across all PL domains than Taiwanese participants. Being an early adult, having problems with childcare, housing and transportation were associated with higher distress while a higher depression score and having stage 4 cancer demonstrated lower distress among Indonesians. For Taiwanese respondents, appearance, bathing/dressing and pain determined psychological distress. Conclusions Differences in the healthcare system, economic level, culture, gender and age influenced the problems experienced by patients. Finding from our comparative study provide important insight into understanding distress and PL among ACPs in economically advanced countries compared with economically weak countries. Future collaboration to deliver interventions considering cultural and healthcare system differences between two countries should be developed

“…19 Two coping strategies, problem-and emotion-focused coping, mediated the effects of psychological and physiological distress on social, physical, and emotional well-being in advanced cancer patients. 20 Similarly, meaning-focused coping and religious coping were mediators between negative illness appraisals and psychological well-being in older cancer patients. 21 Taken together, these findings indicate that pain experiences may be associated with psychological well-being through a mediation effect of coping.…”

“…In patients with different types of cancer, disengagement/denial coping mediated the relationship between stressful life events (i.e., symptoms very likely to cause psychological and social pain) and physical/functional and emotional dimensions of quality of life 19 .

Objective Relationships between pain and well‐being are mediated by a variety of factors. This study examines a serial mediating role of meaning in life and coping in the relationship of total pain with psychological well‐being in abdominal and pelvic cancer (APC) patients. Total pain is understood in terms of physical, psychological, social, and spiritual components interacting upon one another. Methods Adult patients diagnosed with the APC (N = 333) who were undergoing radiotherapy/chemotherapy treatment in two inpatient units of university hospitals completed questionnaires measuring total pain, psychological well‐being, meaning in life, and coping. SEM analysis was used to examine serial mediation effects. Results All the dimensions of total pain were negatively associated with presence of meaning, coping strategies, and psychological well‐being. In contrast, the pain dimensions were positively associated with search for meaning. Presence of meaning, search for meaning, emotion‐ and meaning‐focused coping were serial mediators in the relationship between total pain and psychological well‐being. Conclusions Our results strongly suggests that a holistic examination of pain among patients with cancer is important for several reasons. They also indicate that psychological well‐being is significantly influenced by the serial interplay of personal meaning structures and coping abilities.

Infertility can be stressful for infertile couples. This study aims to examine the intra‐dyadic associations between stigma, communication patterns, and infertility‐related stress in couples undergoing artificial insemination by donor semen (AID). This cross‐sectional study was conducted from January to April 2021. Two hundred and three couples undergoing AID were recruited from a reproductive centre in China. All of the couples completed a two‐item stigma questionnaire, Communication Pattern Questionnaire, and Fertility Problem Inventory. The actor‐partner interdependence mediation analysis was performed using AMOS 23.0. The analysis demonstrated significant actor–actor effects for couples undergoing AID. More specifically, higher levels of stigma among wives and husbands were associated with more negative communication patterns, thereby increasing their own infertility‐related stress. Simultaneously, there was a significant partner–actor effect among infertile wives, demonstrating that the husband's stigma can affect his wife's infertility‐related stress by influencing her communication patterns. Couples undergoing AID experience increased infertility‐related stress when they have high levels of stigma and negative communication patterns, and husbands' stigma is correlated to wives' communication patterns. Therefore, dyadic interventions aiming to improving stigma and enhancing positive communication may be conducive to reducing infertility‐related stress.
