“…History of anxiety was assessed by asking patients: 'Have you ever experienced any other mood difficulties, such as anxiety?' Availability of a close confidant was assessed using an item from the Social Adjustment Scale: 34 'Do you have a close friend or confidant -that is, someone with whom you can discuss your personal and private feelings?' Socio-demographic information was also collected during the baseline interview and included age, gender, marital status, education, current or last occupation, employment status, country of birth, first language, living arrangements, home ownership, and private health cover.…”

Quality of Life after Gastrectomy for Gastric Carcinoma: Controlled Study of Reconstructive Procedures

et al. 1997

The choice of reconstruction after gastrectomy and the significance of remaining reservoir function is a matter of controversy. To broaden the criteria for choice of treatment, we conducted a prospective randomized clinical trial to determine the impact of various gastrectomy procedures on quality of life. Consecutive patients (n = 64) eligible for curative gastric cancer surgery were randomized to have either a total (n = 31) or subtotal (n = 13) gastrectomy or a jejunal S-shaped pouch (n = 20) implanted as a gastric substitute. The quality-of-life evaluation was based on a battery of questionnaires covering both general and specific aspects of life. The patients were rated by one of two psychiatrists who were blinded to the patients' group affiliation. Assessments were made on three occasions: during the week prior to surgery and 3 and 12 months after the surgical intervention. The postoperative complication and mortality rates were similar in all treatment groups, with few serious complications recorded. Irrespective of type of treatment, the patients suffered from alimentary symptoms and functional limitations in everyday life, whereas their mental well-being improved after surgery. Patients who underwent subtotal gastrectomy had the best outcome, especially with respect to complaints of diarrhea. Patients given a gastric substitute after gastrectomy showed no difference from those who had only a total gastrectomy. We conclude that despite significant unfavorable consequences that follow gastrectomy, patients recover with an improved mental status. A pouch reconstruction after total gastrectomy does not improve quality of life, but a subtotal gastrectomy has advantages that must be considered when the procedure is clinically feasible.

“…The Maudsley Marital Questionnaire (MMQ)-is a 20-item measure (Crowe, 1978) derived from the Structured and Scaled Interview to Assess Maladjustment (SSIAM) (Gurland et al 1972). The MMQ was first used to assess progress in couples involved in conjoint marital therapy.…”

The development of a measure of intimate bonds

1988

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

SYNOPSISThis paper discusses the relevance of assessing the nature of intimate relationships and reports on the development of such an instrument. The Intimate Bond Measure (IBM) is a selfreport measure assessing two key underlying dimensions, care and control. Its properties are assessed in separate studies, establishing its high test-retest reliability, the homogeneous nature of the isolated dimensions, its insensitivity to broad socio-demographic influences and its minimal sensitivity to depressed mood state. Support for its validity, in terms of both perceived and actual characteristics of care and control, is demonstrated. It provides a simple and efficient measure of central constructs underlying intimate relationships, and is of potential use in studies attempting to assess the relevance of intimate relationships to the onset and course of psychiatric disorders.
