background Disclosure of illness and illness experiences can be complicated for patients diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome due to the stigma associated with the illness. In this study, we evaluate the psychometric properties of the Beliefs about Sharing Illness Experiences (BASIE) scale in chronic fatigue patients. In addition, we investigate whether interpersonal trust and personality characteristics predict self-disclosure in chronic fatigue patients.

background Social support in women with breast cancer is associated with quality of life (QoL) and it appears to be vital for treating breast cancer and adaptation to disease. Social support seems to decrease quantitatively and over time while significant improvement in the patients’ long-term emotional and physical function is observed. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the differences in levels of social support and QoL in two independent groups of patients: women with breast cancer (i) during chemotherapy and (ii) two years after the chemotherapy.

background Previous studies indicate that being in a relationship has a beneficial effect on the physical and mental health and also significantly affects the quality of life. One of the essential elements of the relationship is intimacy, which includes sharing experiences, support and mutual understanding, as well as respect and care for the good of the partner. Being in a relationship, the nature of this relationship (marriage vs. informal relationship) as well as the level of intimacy and the assessment of the quality of the relationship may be in relation to the personal sense of well-being. In this research we intended to estimate the significance of these variables for the sense of wellbeing and analyze which of these variables have the same meaning for the sense of well-being of young women and men.

background Filial piety is a concept containing important ideas about how children should treat their parents. Its demands range from material to emotional requirements, and its structures are often generalized to apply to authority relationships beyond the family. The 16-item Dual Filial Piety Scale (DFPS) developed by Yeh and Bedford has been used in different cultural groups to measure individuals’ filial piety attitude. The present investigation translated the DFPS into the Vietnamese language (DFPS-V) and examined psychometric qualities of the scale in a sample of students in Vietnam in two studies.

results The prevalence of SPD was found to be 3.4%. The number of individuals with SPD increased from 2012 to 2018 by 34.1%. As indicated by multiple logistic regression analyses, individuals who have less than $35 000 family income have six times higher risk of SPD occurring (OR = 6.31), while white females (OR = 1.93) in the age group of 45-64 (OR = 2.01) who are not employed but have worked previously (OR = 1.25), and are divorced or separated (OR = 1.57) have a two-fold higher risk for the occurrence of this type of disorder. In addition, the risk of SPD is fivefold higher in poor individuals (OR = 4.81) with inadequate education (OR = 5.44).

Psoriasis is most studied dermatological disorders, demonstrating decreased quality of life in all examined dimensions. However, there are in‑ consistent data on disease influence, health‑related quality of life (HRQoL) and life satisfaction in psoriatic patients. aims of the study were the following: a) to determine the level of general life satisfaction and HRQoL in psoriasis patients; b) to differentiate factors combined with life sat‑ isfaction and HRQoL assessment and determine whether the same variables are connected with life The general life are Psoriasis

The functioning of a person affected with a chronic illness within a family is a complex and many-sided issue. The illness produces an adaptive mechanism, and the ultimate goal of all adaptive measures is to deal with the new situation. The present research was intended to determine the psychological and clinical factors underlying the correct functioning of families with a multiple sclerosis sufferer. The research covered 108 families (216 persons) divided into three groups. We used an interview, the FACES IV questionnaire, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, the Berlin Social Support Scales, the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations, the Acceptance of Illness Scale, the Beck Depression Scale, the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Controlled Oral Word Association Test, Raven’s Progressive Matrices, and the Similarities task from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. The results of the research showed a significant difference in how family life was assessed by the three groups re-garding cohesion and flexibility. A significant difference also related to communication and family life satisfaction. The best fit with the data was shown by the model incorporating two groups of predictors – global psychological variables (family variables) and individual psychological variables. Based on the it is highly probable that the majority of with multiple sclerosis adjust relatively well to the disease. Despite chronic illness, a family can function correctly, but this largely depends on its ability to cope with stress. Clinical parameters of the illness, such as the degree of proved to be irrelevant as predictors. It was also established that a system’s functioning depends on the mental condition of the healthy care-giving spouse. The patient’s cognitive impairment, especially his/her executive deficits, was found to be important.
