“…Literature proved that the person who uses maladaptive cognitive coping experienced more psychological problems like depression, anxiety, stress; and poor emotional well-being ( Bahrami et al, 2017 ; Garnefski, Hossain & Kraaij, 2017 ). In a study conducted in Serbian breast cancer patients’ support our findings that catastrophising and rumination are significant maladaptive cognitive coping strategies which would be helpful in changing the intensity of psychological distress and reflected in person’s health related quality of life ( Kovač et al, 2020 ).…”

Background/Objective Adults with asthma who experience difficulties in emotion regulation are prone to developing psychopathological symptoms that may affect their self-management activities and symptom control. The current research investigated the role of psychological flexibility and cognitive emotion regulation strategies in relation to mental health outcomes (psychological distress and quality of life) among patients with asthma in Pakistan. Method A sample of 200 adults, diagnosed with asthma (32% men, 68% women; Mage = 42.32, SDage = 16.99), completed the acceptance and action questionnaire (AAQ-II) cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ), depression, anxiety, stress scale-21 (DASS-21), asthma-related quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ) and a self-structured demographic sheet. Results Results of Pearson product moment correlation showed that most of the adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies (positive refocusing, refocus on planning, and positive reappraisal) were positively correlated with psychological flexibility and quality of life, whereas negatively correlated with psychological distress. All the maladaptive strategies of cognitive emotion regulation had a significant inverse relationship with psychological flexibility and quality of life, while positively correlated with psychological distress. Results of serial mediation analysis through PROCESS MACRO showed that catastrophising and anxiety fully mediated the relationship between psychological flexibility and asthma-related quality of life. Conclusion Evidence-based interventions should focus on developing psychological flexibility and identifying maladaptive patterns of cognitive emotion regulation strategies for improved mental health and quality of life outcomes for adults with asthma.

BACKGROUND: During recent years, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in females worldwide and in Bulgaria as well. The issues of satisfactory individual quality of life (QoL) after treatment represent undoubted interest and contribute to the elaboration and implementation of specific assessment questionnaires and scales. AIM: The objective of the present study was to assess some aspects of the QoL in female patients with breast cancer following successful disease management. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined a total of 57 female breast cancer patients operated on between 2018 and 2020 at a mean age of 47.89 ± 6.71 years (range, 30–59 years). They filled in the upper limb lymphoedema QoL questionnaire containing 27 items. RESULTS: There was a significant prevalence of the ductal carcinoma and nonspecific invasive carcinoma, of the luminal B- human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) positive and luminal B-HER2 negative breast cancer as well as of grade two of differentiation. The responses with “not at all” dominated concerning the domains of “activities of daily living” and “health-related complaints. There was a great variety of the frequency of different patient’s responses to one and the same question when all 27 questions of all 57 patients were assessed as a whole. There was only one response with suffering “a lot” given to all the four items dealing with health-related complaints. The response with “a little” inclination dominated concerning the psychological dimension. The responses with “a lot” disturbance in terms of three items (“in your emotional life with your partner”, “look at yourself in a mirror” and “in your professional relationships”) considerably prevailed indicating the pronounced unfavourable influence on these patients’ quality of social life exerted by the breast cancer. CONCLUSION: Breast cancer moderately affects individual patient’s QoL following successful treatment. Future research using additional specific questionnaires and focusing on the emotional and social aspects of the QoL could contribute to the improvement of patient’s life characteristics.
