“…The main purpose of the present study was to analyze risk and protective factors associated with HRQoL in parents with mental illness. In line with previous research on various psychopathologies ( 10 – 12 , 67 ), parents in our sample self-reported significantly lower global and specific HRQoL than the German reference population. The most pronounced dissatisfaction with HRQoL was reported for the aspects that relate to anxiety and depression followed by usual activities, pain and discomfort.…”

“…The better the participants' physical and psychological condition, and the more parents used adaptive coping strategies like active problem-oriented coping and distraction and self-growth to deal with the challenges of their mental illness, the better they perceived their overall HRQoL. The results are consistent with previous research demonstrating the positive impact of adaptive coping on symptom severity, burden of mental illness, comorbidities and illness duration ( 31 – 34 ) and the relevance of physical ( 68 , 69 ) and mental health ( 10 – 12 , 67 ) for individual HRQoL. Against our expectations ( 36 , 44 , 45 , 47 – 49 ), family functioning, social support, child mental illness and the age and gender of parents with mental illness did not appear to be relevant for the outcome.…”

“…Research has consistently shown that quality of life is reduced in adults with mental illness ( 10 – 12 ). In combination with the demands of parenthood, adults with mental health symptoms may face even more stressful situations that lower their health-related quality of life (HRQoL).…”

Purpose: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) can be reduced in parents with mental illness (mental illness) who face the dual demands of disabling symptoms and their impact on family, social, and occupational life. This study aimed at analyzing the influence of various factors on HRQoL in parents with mental illness.Method: Baseline data of the German randomized controlled multicenter project CHIMPS (children of parents with mental illness) was used for analyses. The final sample consisted of n = 208 parents with mental illness and n = 197 children and adolescents aged 8–18 years. HRQoL was assessed with the EQ-5D.Results: Parents with mental illness reported significantly lower global and specific HRQoL than the German reference population. They were least satisfied with aspects that relate to anxiety and depression followed by usual activities, pain and discomfort. Better global HRQoL was primarily associated with self-reported physical and mental health, as well as adaptive coping behavior. Associations with mobility, self-care, usual activity, pain and discomfort, anxiety and depression were analyzed and discussed.Conclusions: HRQoL in parents with mental illness is reduced. Clinical interventions should focus on the alleviation of mental health symptoms and probably somatic symptoms and promote adaptive coping skills.

“…The SF-12v2 has demonstrated desirable reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.88) and construct validity in the general Korean population [ 18 ]. In this study, the Cronbach’s α was 0.77, and poor HRQOL was defined as more than 0.5 SD below the normative mean of the general Korean population [ 19 ].…”

“…Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using univariable and multivariable logistic regression models, respectively. Poor PCS and MCS scores, which were defined as scores more than 0.5 SD below the normative mean of the general Korean population [ 19 ], were coded as 1, and others were coded as 0. In the multivariable analysis, a predictor was unmet expectations for surgical outcomes, and possible confounding variables known to be associated with LLD’s PCS and MCS were controlled.…”

Background In South Korea, the number of living-donor liver transplantations in 2019 was 1,188. Living liver donors (LLDs) undergo surgery and the postoperative recovery process for altruistic purposes. This study explored LLDs’ unmet expectations about surgical outcomes and examined their impact on the donors’ health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study utilized a self-reported survey. Data were collected at a university hospital in Seoul, South Korea. Among the 535 LLDs who underwent surgery for donation between January 2011 and March 2021, 124 participated in this study. The Korean version of the 12-item Short Form Health Survey version 2 (SF-12v2) was used to measure the HRQOL of LLDs. Unmet expectations regarding surgical outcomes were measured using four items: pain, length of hospital stay, speed of recovery, and complications. Logistic regression model was applied to determine whether the unmet expectations influence HRQOL in LLDs. Odds ratios with 95% confidence interval were used. Results The percentage of the participants who reported that their actual experiences for pain, speed of recovery, hospital stay, and complications were worse than expected were 34.7%, 22.6%, 9.7%, and 7.3%, respectively. Unmet expectations about surgical outcomes were significantly associated with physical and mental HRQOL after controlling for age, sex, education level, income, postoperative complications, recipients’ death, time since donation, and satisfaction with the decision to donate. Conclusion LLDs should be supported in obtaining more accurate and realistic information about surgical outcomes to decrease unmet expectations, which may help improve their quality of life.

Objective. To explore the impact of family function on quality of life (QoL) and investigate the mediating effects of fear of progression (FoP) and resilience in the pathway from family function to QoL among patients with cervical cancer (CC). Methods. A multicenter cross-sectional survey with convenience sampling was conducted from December 2021 to December 2022. A total of 252 patients with cervical cancer were recruited from five tertiary hospitals in Jiangsu Province, China. Patients completed the 5-item self-administered Family Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, Resolve (APGAR) scale, the Fear of Progress Questionnaire short-form, the 14-item Resilience Scale, and the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to explore the mediation effect of FoP and resilience between family function and QoL for CC patients. Bootstrapping procedures were used to verify the significance of the indirect effects of the mediating variables. Results. The mean score of family function was 7.97 ± 2.41 (scale range: 0–10), FoP was 29.58 ± 10.14 (scale range: 12–60), and resilience was 69.37 ± 14.36 (scale range: 14–98). The mean score for physical component summary (PCS) was 41.87 ± 10.00 (scale range: 0–100), and the mean score for mental component summary (MCS) was 46.68 ± 11.78 (scale range: 0–100). Family function positively predicted patients’ resilience and negatively predicted their FoP, while FoP negatively predicted CC patients’ resilience and QoL, and resilience positively predicted patients’ QoL. Patients’ family function was associated with their QoL directly and indirectly through the mediation of FoP and resilience, and the model explained 7% of the variation in FoP, 24% of the variation in resilience, and 42% of the variation in QoL. Conclusions. Chinese CC patients expressed poor QoL. FoP and resilience could mediate the association between patients’ family function and QoL. Healthcare professionals could improve QoL of patients with cervical cancer through reducing FoP and enhancing resilience.
