This study examined the influence of two psychosocial variables mediating between disease severity and quality life (QoL) in epilepsy; social support mastery (measured by locus control self-efficacy). A model placing these as mediators QoL was tested with structural equation modeling.Eighty-nine patients epilepsy (58% men, age 36+/-12 years) were given following instruments: Liverpool Seizure Severity Scale, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List, Epileptic Self-Efficacy Locus Control scale,...
The article describes the aims, methods, conclusions and recommendations of a large-scale experimental study designed to evaluate feasibility implications use remote interpreting (RI) in European Parliament other large multilingual settings, where introduction growing number languages requires extension existing arrangements. While reveals relatively small impact on either quality or interpreters’ health objective measures stress, it nevertheless points considerable psychological effects,...
The present study explores the causal link between school climate, violence, and a school’s general academic performance over time using school-level, cross-lagged panel autoregressive modeling design. We hypothesized that reductions in violence climate improvement would lead to schools’ overall improved performance. School-level secondary analysis of California Healthy Kids Survey was conducted at three points time. Findings offer credible evidence is central factor reducing enhancing...

Health professionals are often faced with the need to identify women at risk of manifesting poor psychological resilience following diagnosis and treatment breast cancer. Machine learning algorithms increasingly used support clinical decision (CDS) tools in helping health who adverse well-being outcomes plan customized interventions for risk. Clinical flexibility, cross-validated performance accuracy, model explainability permitting person-specific identification factors highly desirable...
The diagnosis of breast cancer can be associated with significant emotional distress, yet, over time, survivors also may experience positive psychological changes labeled posttraumatic growth (PTG). Two alternative paths between coping strategies and PTG were tested among patients, employing longitudinal design: Would after medical treatment lead to an increase in reporting strategies; alternatively, would increased PTG.A study was conducted 198 patients who completed validated self-report...
Many studies have shown the prospective relation of illness representations to breast cancer patients' well-being. Still, very few examined their bidirectional relationship over time. Here, long-term mutual effects between physical well-being and were at within-person level. Female patients with enrolled in study 2-5 weeks after surgery or biopsy (baseline N = 706; Mage 54.93). Several (i.e., consequences, timeline, personal control, emotional representations) general functioning specific...

In this study, 489 from four countries (Finland, Israel, Italy, Portugal) BC completed questionnaires at...

Additionally, the examine various potential early predictors at 3 6 determine their association identified postdiagnosis. sample consisted 499 from four oncology centers located in Finland, Portugal, Italy, Israel.
