Objective
This study aimed to systematically review the efficacy of telehealth approaches in alleviating depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods
This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist. Databases including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched for RCTs from database inception to June 2024. All statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.3. The standard mean difference (SMD) was used to pool the fixed effects of continuous outcomes.
Results
Seven RCTs comprising 1174 participants were included in this review. The pooled analysis demonstrated that, compared with the control group, telemonitoring significantly affected anxiety among patients with COPD (SMD = −0.12, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: [−0.24, −0.01], p = 0.04), whereas the effect on depression was not significant (SMD = −0.10, 95 % CI: [−0.22, 0.02], p = 0.09).
Conclusion
Telemonitoring effectively reduced anxiety in patients with COPD but had no significant effect on depression. The relatively small number of studies suggests that this area of research is still developing. Additional high-quality, enriched, and more widely distributed intervention studies are needed to further assess the effectiveness of telehealth approaches on mental health among patients with COPD.
目的:本研究旨在利用随机对照试验(RCTs)的证据,系统回顾远程医疗方法在缓解慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者抑郁和焦虑症状方面的疗效。方法:本系统评价和荟萃分析按照系统评价和荟萃分析首选报告项目(PRISMA)清单进行。检索了PubMed、Embase、Web of Science和Cochrane Library等数据库,检索了从数据库建立到2024年6月的rct。所有统计分析均使用RevMan 5.3进行。标准均差(SMD)用于汇总连续结果的固定效应。结果:本综述纳入了7项随机对照试验,共1174名受试者。合并分析显示,与对照组相比,远程监护显著影响COPD患者的焦虑(SMD = -0.12, 95%可信区间[CI]: [-0.24, -0.01], p = 0.04),而对抑郁的影响不显著(SMD = -0.10, 95% CI: [-0.22, 0.02], p = 0.09)。结论:远程监护可有效降低COPD患者的焦虑,但对抑郁无显著影响。相对较少的研究表明,这一研究领域仍在发展中。需要更多的高质量、丰富和更广泛分布的干预研究来进一步评估远程医疗方法对慢性阻塞性肺病患者心理健康的有效性。

Objective
Psychological inflexibility (PIF), the inability to adapt to changing circumstances and engage in behaviors that are consistent with one's values, has been associated with distress and impaired quality of life. To date only a paucity of studies have examined the role of PIF in people with cardiovascular disease. Hence, the current study will examine the association between PIF and depression, anxiety, and health-related quality of life in a large, prospective, Dutch, cardiac sample.
Methods
A total of N = 302 cardiac patients were recruited at the Elisabeth-TweeSteden Hospital in The Netherlands. Data were collected at baseline, 3- and 6-months follow-up using online questionnaires. Pearson's correlation and Linear Mixed Models (LMM) analysis was performed to answer the research question.
Results
The mean age of the sample was 64 ± 10 and N = 111(37 %) were females. Results showed that at baseline, PIF correlated positively with depression (r = 0.58) and anxiety (r = 0.64) symptoms, and negatively with both health-related quality of life subscales (MCS r = −0.56; PCS r = −0.27). After adjusting for covariate, LMM showed that, over time, PIF was positively associated with depression (B = 0.32;p < .001), anxiety (B = 0.32;p < .001), and negatively with Mental (B = -0.81; p < .001) and Physical Component Scale (B = -0.45; p < .001).
Conclusions
This is the first prospective study to examine the association between PIF and mental health in cardiac patients. Results showed that PIF was positively associated with depression and anxiety symptoms and negatively with health-related quality of life. Intervention studies are needed to examine whether decreasing PIF associates with a decrease in distress and increase in health-related quality of life.

Background
Suicidal ideation is a critical public health concern, and its relationship with hearing status has garnered increasing attention. This study aimed to investigate the association between hearing status and suicidal ideation in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults.
Methods
Data were analyzed from 8095 participants in the 2015–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Weighted logistic regression models, along with restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses, explored the relationship between hearing status and suicidal ideation, adjusting for potential confounders. Subgroup analyses by sex, race, education level, marital status, family monthly poverty level, vision trouble, mobility trouble, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, and cancer were conducted. A Zero-Inflated Poisson (ZIP) regression model was applied to explore the association between hearing status and the level of suicidal ideation.
Results
Participants with more difficulty hearing showed a higher likelihood of experiencing suicidal ideation (P < 0.05 for all). Further analysis using RCS regression confirmed a linear relationship between hearing status and suicidal ideation risk (Pnonlinear > 0.05). Subgroup analyses revealed no significant interactions across different stratifications (P > 0.05 for all). The ZIP analysis revealed that individuals with moderate hearing trouble or those identified as deaf or hard of hearing exhibited higher frequencies of suicidal ideation.
Conclusions
This study identifies an association between hearing status and suicidal ideation among U.S. adults. Factors such as discrimination, social isolation, environmental inaccessibility, and communication barriers may underlie this relationship. Interventions aimed at reducing suicidal ideation should focus on addressing these underlying factors, improving access to supportive resources, and promoting inclusive and accommodating environments for individuals with hearing difficulties.

Treatment decisions for severe aortic stenosis (AS) are complex, since there are two active and comparable options: transcatheter aortic valve implantation and surgical aortic valve replacement. The disease predominantly affects older individuals, who are frequently comorbid with from cognitive impairment. This study aimed to establish a screening-triggered system to assess the decision-making capacity of patients with AS, support their decision-making, and facilitate referrals to specialists when necessary.
Methods
This is a retrospective pre-post observational study. Relevant healthcare professionals were trained to assess and support patients' decision-making capacities.
Results
Subtotals of 203 and 244 patients were enrolled before and after the implementation of the system, respectively. The requests for decision-making support significantly increased (from 1.5 % to 14.8 % of the patients). 11.5 % of the patients were identified as with declined decision-making capacity. The proportion of patients who received active treatments for AS significantly decreased from 95.0 % to 83.0 %. The nurses' documentation of patients' decision-making capacities significantly increased.
Conclusion
This screening-triggered system identified a substantial proportion of patients with declined decision-making capacity. A significant decrease in patients receiving active treatments for AS and increased documentation of patients' decision-making capacities in nursing records were observed. A future randomized controlled is warranted.
