Recent research indicates that young adult college students experience increased levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. It is less clear what strategies health care providers might use to assist in decreasing these mental concerns.

Coping...
Depression in patients with heart failure commonly goes undiagnosed and untreated. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a simple, valid measure of depressive symptoms that may facilitate clinical assessment. It has not been validated failure.To test the reliability, concurrent construct validity PHQ-9 failure.A total 322 (32% female, 61 ± 12 years, 56% New York Heart Association class III/IV) completed PHQ-9, Beck Inventory-II (BDI-II), Control Attitudes Scale (CAS).Cronbach's alpha...
Identification of family caregivers who are burdened by the caregiving experience is vital to prevention poor outcomes associated with caregiving. The Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), a well-known measure burden in patients dementia, has been used without being validated heart failure (HF).
Background: Perceived control is a construct with important theoretical and clinical implications for healthcare providers, yet practical application of the in research practice awaits development an easily administered instrument to measure perceived evidence reliability validity. Objective: To test psychometric properties Control Attitudes Scale-Revised (CAS-R) using sample 3,396 individuals coronary heart disease, 513 patients acute myocardial infarction, 146 failure. Methods: Analyses...
Background: Heart failure (HF) patients who follow the treatment regimen and attend to symptoms before they escalate are assumed have better health-related quality of life (HRQOL) than those with poor self-care, but there few data available support or refute this assumption. Objective: The objective study was describe relationship between HF self-care HRQOL in older (≥65 years old) adults moderate advanced HF. Methods: Self-care measured using 3 scales (maintenance, management, confidence)...
Physical symptoms are likely to occur in clusters that may be associated with adverse outcome patients heart failure (HF). Despite the importance of early recognition worsening HF management, impact physical on has not been explored context symptom clusters.The purposes this study were explore which and determine event-free survival.A total 421 (60% male; 62 [SD, 14] years; 72% New York Heart Association class II/III) completed modified Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Heart Failure measure...
Medication adherence and perceived social support (PSS) are independent predictors of mortality in patients with heart failure (HF).
