“…The present study did not assess delay discounting, but rather focused solely on time perspectives. Although delay discounting may be a relevant issue for FSWs, the present study focused on time perspective because it is influenced by external forces (e.g., life stressors and events) (Dany et al, 2016;Holman et al, 2016), and thus may be more amenable to change through psychological and cognitive interventions. In contrast, delay discounting, which has been described as internal and a personality trait (Albein-Urios et al, 2014;Anokhin et al, 2015) may be more difficult to change in the context of ongoing drug use (Hulka et al, 2015;Teuscher & Mitchell, 2011).…”

Text messages may sustain post-counseling gains in behavioral improvements and reduce HIV/STI incidence. However, their effectiveness may depend on the messages' time perspective and characteristics of the individual. We evaluated the impact of time perspective on a text messaging intervention designed to maintain improvements in safer sex practices among drug-using and non-drug-using female sex workers (FSWs) in Tijuana (n = 141) and Cd. Juarez (n = 129), Mexico. FSWs received the efficacious Mujer Segura intervention, and were randomized to receive safer sex maintenance text messages with either a short-term or future-oriented time perspective. The outcome was HIV/STI incidence rate over 6-month follow-up. In Tijuana, combined HIV/STI incidence density was lower among FSWs in the FUTURE group (31.67 per 100 py) compared to women in the SHORT-TERM group (62.40 per 100 py). Conversely, in Cd. Juarez, HIV/STI incidence density was lower (although non-significant) among FSWs in the SHORT-TERM group (19.80 per 100 py) compared to those in the FUTURE group (35.05 per 100 py). These findings suggest that future-oriented text messages may sustain post-counseling improvements in sexual risk behavior among FSWs, but findings may vary by FSWs' characteristics (e.g., drug use), and by region and context.

“…In our exploratory analyses, our study population was similar to the profile of patients suffering from chronic pain in France [ 77 ], Germany [ 78 ], the United Kingdom [ 2 ], Canada [ 79 ], or the United States [ 74 , 80 , 81 ]—predominantly female, middle-aged, active population of lower socioeconomic status (precariousness, employment status, level of education), with pain lasting more than 5 years and suffering from psychological distress and from fairly severe chronic pain that has a significant impact on their lives (92% with moderate-to-severe pain, 20% with high impact chronic pain [ 74 ] and 43% with sleep disorders, such as awakenings due to pain at least once a night), mainly treated by antidepressants, and weak opioids. Interestingly, most did not simultaneously explore sociodemographic, psychological, pain disorders, and treatments characteristics.…”

Background Chronic pain affects approximately 30% of the general population, severely degrades quality of life (especially in older adults) and professional life (inability or reduction in the ability to work and loss of employment), and leads to billions in additional health care costs. Moreover, available painkillers are old, with limited efficacy and can cause significant adverse effects. Thus, there is a need for innovation in the management of chronic pain. Better characterization of patients could help to identify the predictors of successful treatments, and thus, guide physicians in the initial choice of treatment and in the follow-up of their patients. Nevertheless, current assessments of patients with chronic pain provide only fragmentary data on painful daily experiences. Real-life monitoring of subjective and objective markers of chronic pain using mobile health (mHealth) programs can address this issue. Objective We hypothesized that regular patient self-monitoring using an mHealth app would lead physicians to obtain deeper understanding and new insight into patients with chronic pain and that, for patients, regular self-monitoring using an mHealth app would play a positive therapeutic role and improve adherence to treatment. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a new mHealth app called eDOL. Methods We conducted an observational study to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the eDOL tool. Patients completed several questionnaires using the tool over a period of 2 weeks and repeated assessments weekly over a period of 3 months. Physicians saw their patients at a follow-up visit that took place at least 3 months after the inclusion visit. A composite criterion of the acceptability and feasibility of the eDOL tool was calculated after the completion of study using satisfaction surveys from both patients and physicians. Results Data from 105 patients (of 133 who were included) were analyzed. The rate of adherence was 61.9% (65/105) after 3 months. The median acceptability score was 7 (out of 10) for both patients and physicians. There was a high rate of completion of the baseline questionnaires and assessments (mean 89.3%), and a low rate of completion of the follow-up questionnaires and assessments (63.8% (67/105) and 61.9% (65/105) respectively). We were also able to characterize subgroups of patients and determine a profile of those who adhered to eDOL. We obtained 4 clusters that differ from each other in their biopsychosocial characteristics. Cluster 4 corresponds to patients with more disabling chronic pain (daily impact and comorbidities) and vice versa for cluster 1. Conclusions This work demonstrates that eDOL is highly feasible and acceptable for both patients with chronic pain and their physicians. It also shows that such a tool can integrate many parameters to ensure the detailed characterization of patients for future research works and pain management.

“…In addition, positive past was significantly and directly correlated with age; therefore, attitudes toward the past became more negative with increasing age. Time perspective is considered one of the important psychosocial factors that are effective on psychological distress in MS patients (13). A study with MS patients showed that they were ready to assess and to prepare for possible adverse outcomes of the illness.…”

Aim: To study difference in self-concept, physical self-concept, and time perspective between the students with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy students. Material and Methods: The study population of this descriptive-correlational study consisted of the students living in Shahrekord of whom 200 people (100 males and 100 females) were selected by multistage cluster sampling. Data were collected by Sarasota's Self-concept Scale, Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory, and a researcher-developed physical self-concept questionnaire. Results: Patients' average scores on the subscales negative past, deterministic current, purposeful future, and transcendental future of the variable time perspective were higher than healthy students'. The average scores on the variable self-concept, the subscales physical, social, mood, academic, and rational of the variable physical self-concept, and the subscale positive past from the variable time perspective were significantly higher in healthy students than patients. Overall, there were significant and inverse correlations between self-concept, physical self-concept, and positive past, between self-concept and negative past, deterministic current, and hedonistic current as well as between physical self-concept and negative past, deterministic current, and transcen-dental future. There were also significant and direct correlations between negative past, deterministic current, and hedonistic current as well as between self-concept and positive past, purposeful future, and transcendental future. In the patients, the females' scores on self-concept, purposeful future, and transcendental future were significantly higher than males', and males' scores on physical self-concept were significantly higher than females'. In healthy students, the average scores on self-concept, positive past, hedonistic current, and purposeful future were significantly higher in females than males. Conclusion: Findings indicated that overall, the people with MS, compared to healthy people, have negative self-concept and self-concept as well as negative attitudes toward their own social relationships and moods. They also consider their intelligence and talent to be lower and more negative compared to those of healthy people, have negative attitudes toward their past, and consider their lives to be deterministic.
