“…In a previous review focused on analyzing different studies related to the effects of stress on cognition in parents of children with cancer, an important effect of this variable on cognitive tasks such as attention or working memory was observed. These effects are also related to the development of pathologies such as depression or anxiety associated with children's illness [50]. We must take into account that in our study, the mean age of the CCG was 48.95 years and the mean age of the patients was 52.41 years and, therefore, results obtained could be difficult to compare with prior studies carried out with younger subjects.…”

The role of informal caregiver of cancer patients is considered a situation of chronic stress that could have impact on cognitive functioning. Our aim was to evaluate differences in perceived stress, subjective memory complaints, self-esteem, and resilience between caregivers and non-caregivers, as well as the possible mediational role of burden in caregivers. The sample was composed of 60 participants divided into two groups: (1) Primary informal caregivers of a relative with cancer (CCG) (n = 34); and (2) non-caregiver control subjects (Non-CG) (n = 26). All participants were evaluated through a battery of tests: Socio-demographic questionnaire, subjective memory complaints questionnaire (MFE-30), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, resilience (CD-RISC-10), and perceived stress scale (PSS). The CCG group also completed the Zarit burden interview. Results indicated that CCG displayed higher scores than Non-CG in MFE-30 (p = 0.000) and PSS (p = 0.005). In the CCG group, Pearson correlations indicated that PSS showed a negative relationship with resilience (p = 0.000) and self-esteem (p = 0.002) and positive correlation with caregiver’s burden (p = 0.015). In conclusion, CCG displayed higher number of subjective memory complaints and higher perceived stress than Non-CG, whereas no significant differences were obtained on self-esteem and resilience. These results could aid in designing new intervention strategies aimed to diminish stress, burden, or cognitive effects in informal caregivers of cancer patients.

“…Sixty-four systematic reviews were excluded for the following reasons: not a clinical or at-risk population (n=22), not a systematic review (n=20), primary aim was not to review mechanisms (n=21), and non-M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT human sample (n=1). Finally, 54 systematic reviews met the inclusion criteria and were included in the overview[18,19,[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]20,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]21,[48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57]22,[58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67]23,[68]…”

Objective: To investigate whether systematic reviews of mediation studies identify limitations in reporting quality and methodological conduct. Study Design and Setting: An overview of systematic reviews. We searched four databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and PubMed) to identify systematic reviews of studies that used mediation analysis to investigate mechanisms of healthcare interventions or exposures in clinical populations between 2007 and 2017. Two reviewers independently screened titles and abstracts. Summary data on the characteristics, reporting quality and methodological conduct of the studies included in the systematic reviews were extracted independently by two reviewers. The protocol was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42017059834). Results: 54 systematic reviews were included, representing 11 healthcare fields, 26 health conditions and 2008 mediation studies. 18/54 systematic reviews (33%) explicitly stated that the reporting of primary studies was suboptimal. Of these, 14/18 (78%) reviews noted incomplete reporting of effect sizes and precision estimates from mediation analyses. 29/54 systematic reviews (54%) identified limitations in the methodological conduct of primary studies. Conclusion: The reporting and methodological conduct of studies investigating mechanisms in healthcare seems to be suboptimal. Guidance is needed to improve the quality, completeness and transparency of mediation studies.

“…Studies on parental stress in both cardiac and non-cardiac populations have shown that mothers and fathers perceive stress and react to stressors differently. 26,32,37,[43][44][45][46][47][48][49] The majority of research has shown that mothers score significantly higher on stress and anxiety measures. 9,17,26,46 For parents of children with CHD, mothers have been shown to have significantly higher distress, anxiety, depression, and somatisation compared with fathers.…”

Parental stress and resilience in CHD: a new frontier for health disparities research

Parental stress is a universal experience for parents who have children diagnosed with CHD and has been studied within the context of the child's illness, but not through a broader health disparity lens. This paper provides a thorough synthesis of the current literature on parental stress addressing disparities in parents of children with CHD. Several theories and models from within this literature are described and a new comprehensive framework, the Parental Stress and Resilience in CHD Model, is presented. Future research and clinical implications are discussed.
