Introduction
Patients and families affected by paediatric cancer experience psychosocial burden not only during active treatment but also during follow-up care. Use of health services during follow-up treatment should be organised according to patients’ and family members’ needs with regard to their physical and mental situation. This study aims (1) at analysing healthcare use (medical and psychosocial) and associated factors in follow-up care of paediatric cancer patients and (2) at investigating the psychosocial situation and support needs of children and their families during follow-up care. Based on the results, recommendations for healthcare planning and for the development of new and the optimisation of existing support offers will be derived.
Methods and analysis
We will conduct a prospective observational study using a naturalistic explorative design with quantitative and qualitative methods. Paediatric cancer patients in follow-up care, their parents and siblings will be invited to fill out a questionnaire at three measurement points (baseline, 6 months follow-up, 12 months follow-up; target n=252 complete data sets over all measurement points). Additionally, parents will be interviewed using a semistructured interview guideline (target n=15–20) at baseline. Quantitative data will be analysed using descriptive statistics, linear mixed models and regression models. Moreover, explorative analyses will be conducted. Qualitative data will be analysed using qualitative content analyses.
Ethics and dissemination
The study was approved by the Local Psychological Ethics Committee (LPEK-0281). Our findings will be published in scientific, peer-reviewed journals and presented to clinicians and researchers on conferences. To assure that results will be available to affected patients and families, a lay summary will be written and disseminated using several ways (upload on the homepage of the research group, upload on the homepage of the psychosocial working group in the Society for Paediatric Oncology/Haematology in Germany, sending to relevant patient organisations).

The classical secretory renin-a is known to be involved in angiotensin generation, thereby regulating not only blood pressure, but also promoting oxidative stress as well as apoptotic and necrotic cell death. In contrast, another cytosolic renin isoform named renin-b has been described, exerting protective effects under ischemia-related conditions in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. Using microarray-based transcriptome analyses, we aimed to identify the signaling pathways involved in mediating cardioprotection in H9c2 cells overexpressing renin-b. By transcriptome profiling, we identified increased gene expression of several genes encoding glycolytic enzymes and glucose transporters, while the transcript levels of TCA-cycle enzymes were decreased. Complementing data from metabolic analyses revealed enhanced glucose consumption and lactate accumulation due to renin-b overexpression. Renin-b overexpression further stimulated AKT/mTOR signaling, where numerous genes involved in this pathway showed altered transcript levels. For AKT, we also detected enhanced phosphorylation levels by means of Western blotting, suggesting an activation of this kinase. Moreover, analysis of the ROS levels identified an increase in ROS accumulation in renin-b-overexpressing cells. Altogether, our data demonstrate that renin-b overexpression induces the metabolic remodeling of H9c2 cells similar to that seen under oxygen deprivation. This metabolic phenotype exerting so-called aerobic glycolysis is also known as the Warburg effect.
This study explored the evidence of validity of internal structure of the 12-item Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy—Spiritual Wellbeing Scale (FACIT-Sp-12) in Brazilian adolescents with chronic health conditions. The study involved 301 Brazilian adolescents with cancer, type 1 diabetes mellitus, or cystic fibrosis. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Item Response Theory (IRT) were used to test the internal structure. Reliability was determined with Cronbach’s Alpha and McDonald’s Omega. The EFA suggested a one-dimensional scale structure in contrast to the original 2-factor model or the 3-factor model which were not reproduced in the current CFA. All quality indicators for the EFA one-factor exceeded the required criteria (FDI = 0.97, EAP = 0.97, SR = 3.96 and EPTD = 0.96, latent GH = 0.90. and the observed GH = 0.85). The FACIT-Sp-12 for adolescents yielded strong evidence for a 1-factor model and with good reliability.
Emotional Feelings: Evaluative Perceptions or Position-Takings? Introduction to the Special Section
(2022)
This special section of Emotion Review is devoted to the discussion of a recent philosophical emotion theory, the theory of emotions as affective position-takings (Jean Moritz Müller, The World-Directedness of Emotional Feeling: On Affect and Intentionality, Palgrave MacMillan, 2019). The aims of the special section are to provide readers with a spotlight view of recent research in the philosophy of emotion, to advance emotion theory, and support the interdisciplinary dialogue. To increase the accessibility of the special section texts to a nonphilosophical readership, we first discuss the relationship between the philosophy and the psychology of emotions and give a brief review the main types of theories of emotional experience.
Hintergrund: Das gemeinsame Auftreten von verhaltensbasierten Risikofaktoren, speziell das Tabakrauchen, der gesundheitsriskante Alkoholkonsum, Übergewicht/Adipositas und mangelnde körperliche Aktivität stellt eine enorme Herausforderung für die öffentliche Gesundheit dar. Aktuell ist deren Verbreitung sowie deren soziodemografische Prädiktoren bei Krankenhauspatient*innen mit nicht-übertragbaren Erkrankungen unzureichend beschrieben.
Ziel: Zum einen untersuchte diese Arbeit die Verbreitung der vier verhaltensbasierten Risikofaktoren bei Krankenhauspatient*innen. Zum anderen wurden soziodemografische Prädiktoren der verhaltensbasierten Risikofaktoren bei Krankenhauspatient*innen mit nicht-übertragbaren Erkrankungen, d.h. mit kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen, Krebserkrankungen, chronischen Erkrankungen des Atmungssystems sowie Diabetes mellitus Typ II, untersucht.
Methode: An einem Universitätsklinikum in Vorpommern wurde über 17 Monate hinweg ein systematisches Patientenscreening hinsichtlich derer verhaltensbasierten Risikofaktoren sowie soziodemografischen Faktoren durchgeführt. Insgesamt konnten 5.762 Patient*innen im Alter von 18 bis 64 Jahren in die Studie eingeschlossen werden. Zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von verhaltensbasierten Risikofaktoren wurden Häufigkeiten sowie 95%-Konfidenzintervalle ermittelt. Zur Untersuchung von Prädiktoren verhaltensbasierter Risikofaktoren wurden logistische Regressionen durchgeführt.
Ergebnisse: Von allen Krankenhauspatient*innen litten über die Hälfte an nicht-übertragbaren Erkrankungen (n=3.214, 55,7 %). Insgesamt wiesen in allen vier untersuchten Fachabteilungen des Krankenhauses 96,2 % der Patient*innen (58,6 % männlich) mindestens einen und 71,4 % zwei oder mehr verhaltensbasierte Risikofaktoren auf. In der Subgruppe der Krankenhauspatient*innen mit nicht-übertragbaren Erkrankungen waren die Häufigkeiten vergleichbar. Über fast alle Erkrankungsgruppen hinweg zeigte sich, dass es bei den verhaltensbasierten Risikofaktoren zu einem eher homogenen Auftreten hinsichtlich ihrer soziodemografischen Prädiktoren kam.
Diskussion: Es besteht ein ausgesprochener Bedarf an systematischen Screening- sowie Interventionsmaßnahmen bei Krankenhauspatient*innen hinsichtlich ihrer verhaltensbasierten Risikofaktoren. Dabei sollten v.a. multiple Risikoverhaltensmuster gleichzeitig adressiert werden. Maßnahmen zur Prävention sollten zielgruppenorientiert entwickelt und umgesetzt werden, wobei soziodemografische Unterschiede bei verhaltensbasierten Risikofaktoren zu berücksichtigen sind. Im Sinne der Primär-, Sekundär- sowie Tertiärprävention sollte das Auftreten nicht-übertragbarer Erkrankungen bei bislang noch nicht erkrankten Patient*innen verhindert und der Behandlungserfolg sowie die Prognose bei bereits erkrankten Patient*innen verbessert werden.
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is affecting many areas of life and has led to major changes in undergraduate medical education. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, high mental burden of medical students has frequently been reported in the literature. Additional pandemic-specific stressors could exacerbate this situation. This study aimed to assess mental health outcomes among medical students during the first semester after the COVID-19 outbreak and perception of the students on how the learning environment has changed. In May 2020, we conducted a cross-sectional survey among undergraduate medical students at a large medical school in Germany. The survey included validated mental health instruments (Distress Thermometer, Patient Health Questionnaire 4) and self-developed items to examine the perception of the study situation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Open-ended questions were analyzed by conventional content analyses. The response rate was 59.2% (914/1,545). Overall, 61.9% of the students reported distress levels above the cutoff. Year 1 students reported significantly higher levels of distress, anxiety and depression than students during their second to fourth year of studies. 48.3% of the students indicated a decrease in their study motivation since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic with significant differences between study years. The binary logistic regression model showed that male gender, being in study year 2, higher distress scores and higher symptoms of depression were significantly associated with a higher likelihood for experiencing serious worries. In the open-ended questions on current concerns related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their studies, students most frequently reported concerns about missing relevant practical learning experience, difficulties with self-regulated learning and self motivation as well as study-related worries. Year 4 students reported significantly more worries about the lack of practical training than students from study years 1 to 3. Analysis of gender differences showed that female students reported more frequently diverse worries. In contrast, female students shared more frequently helpful strategies in all the categories compared to male students. Our findings suggest that medical students experience significant levels of distress and mental burden during the COVID-19 pandemic and highlight the need for ongoing psychological and educational support for medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic and after.
Objectives
To give an overview over the associations between self-reported health literacy and medication adherence in older adults.
Design
A systematic literature review of quantitative studies published in English and German.
Data sources
MEDLINE via PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Epistemonikos and LIVIVO were searched.
Eligibility criteria
Included studies had to examine the associations between self-reported health literacy and medication adherence in the elderly (samples including ≥66% of ≥60 years old) and had to use a quantitative methodology and had to be written in English or German.
Data extraction and synthesis
All studies were screened for inclusion criteria by two independent reviewers. A narrative synthesis was applied to analyse all included studies thematically. Quality assessment was conducted using the NIH Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies.
Results
We found 2313 studies, of which nine publications from eight studies were included in this review. Five studies reported a majority of participants with limited health literacy, one study reported a majority of participants with adequate health literacy, and three publications from two studies only reported mean levels of health literacy. Eight publications from seven studies used self-reports to measure medication adherence, while one study used the medication possession ratio. Overall, six publications from five studies reported significantly positive associations between health literacy and medication adherence while two studies reported positive but non-significant associations between both constructs and one study reported mixed results.
Conclusion
In this review, associations between self-reported health literacy and medication adherence are rather consistent, indicating positive associations between both constructs in older adults. However, concepts and measures of health literacy and medication adherence applied in the included studies still show a noteworthy amount of heterogeneity (eg, different use of cutoffs). These results reveal the need for more differentiated research in this area.

Objective
To identify and summarise evaluated interventions aiming to improve the communication of palliative care (PC) and end-of-life (EoL) issues in physicians caring for cancer patients. Such interventions are needed with regard to the aim of an earlier communication of those issues in oncology daily practice, which is associated with a range of benefits for patients and caregivers but is often impeded by physicians’ communication insecurities.
Design
Systematic review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.Data sourcesRelevant publications were systematically searched in MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Web of Science databases in September 2020 with an update in July 2021.
Eligibility criteria
We included publications reporting a quantitative evaluation of a communication intervention on one or more PC/EoL issues with a communication-related main outcome. Target group had to be physicians caring for cancer patients non-specialist in PC.
Data extraction and synthesis
Two independent raters extracted intervention characteristics, publication characteristics and publication quality. Results were narratively synthesised.
Results
24 publications reporting 22 interventions were included. 13 publications reported randomised controlled trials. A majority of the interventions addressed one specific PC/EoL issue, most often breaking bad news. Teaching strategies mostly involved role-plays. Target group were mainly oncologists. In addition to self-reported outcome measurements for evaluation, most publications also reported the use of external rating data. All but one publication reported significant intervention effects on at least one outcome parameter. Publication quality was overall moderate.
Conclusions
The empirically tested communication interventions on PC/EoL issues seem to effectively improve physicians’ communication. Future interventions should focus on other issues than breaking bad news, such as preparing for the future. Target group should also be organ-specific oncologists, as all primary caring physicians are responsible for timely communication. Our risk-of-bias assessment revealed some weaknesses, indicating that more high-quality studies for evaluation are needed.

Background:
Social equity in the efficacy of behavior change intervention is much needed. While the efficacy of brief alcohol interventions (BAIs), including digital interventions, is well established, particularly in health care, the social equity of interventions has been sparsely investigated.
Objective:
We aim to investigate whether the efficacy of computer-based versus in-person delivered BAIs is moderated by the participants’ socioeconomic status (ie, to identify whether general hospital patients with low-level education and unemployed patients may benefit more or less from one or the other way of delivery compared to patients with higher levels of education and those that are employed).
Methods:
Patients with nondependent at-risk alcohol use were identified through systematic offline screening conducted on 13 general hospital wards. Patients were approached face-to-face and asked to respond to an app for self-assessment provided by a mobile device. In total, 961 (81% of eligible participants) were randomized and received their allocated intervention: computer-generated and individually tailored feedback letters (CO), in-person counseling by research staff trained in motivational interviewing (PE), or assessment only (AO). CO and PE were delivered on the ward and 1 and 3 months later, were based on the transtheoretical model of intentional behavior change and required the assessment of intervention data prior to each intervention. In CO, the generation of computer-based feedback was created automatically. The assessment of data and sending out feedback letters were assisted by the research staff. Of the CO and PE participants, 89% (345/387) and 83% (292/354) received at least two doses of intervention, and 72% (280/387) and 54% (191/354) received all three doses of intervention, respectively. The outcome was change in grams of pure alcohol per day after 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, with the latter being the primary time-point of interest. Follow-up interviewers were blinded. Study group interactions with education and employment status were tested as predictors of change in alcohol use using latent growth modeling.
Results:
The efficacy of CO and PE did not differ by level of education (P=.98). Employment status did not moderate CO efficacy (Ps≥.66). Up to month 12 and compared to employed participants, unemployed participants reported significantly greater drinking reductions following PE versus AO (incidence rate ratio 0.44, 95% CI 0.21-0.94; P=.03) and following PE versus CO (incidence rate ratio 0.48, 95% CI 0.24–0.96; P=.04). After 24 months, these differences were statistically nonsignificant (Ps≥.31).
Conclusions:
Computer-based and in-person BAI worked equally well independent of the patient’s level of education. Although findings indicate that in the short-term, unemployed persons may benefit more from BAI when delivered in-person rather than computer-based, the findings suggest that both BAIs have the potential to work well among participants with low socioeconomic status.
Parental cancer poses major challenges for families with minor children. Due to diagnosis and treatment family life is disrupted. To prevent long-term consequences in all family members and to design needs-oriented family-centered interventions, further understanding of the family's situation including the impact on the children, quality of life levels and the parental psychosocial needs is necessary. This study aims at investigating the impact of parental cancer on the minor children, family-specific psychosocial needs and quality of life levels of parents and children. Cancer patients parenting at least 1 minor child (<18 years) were eligible for study participation. In total, n=86 cancer patients under treatment participated in the study. After excluding participants without a minor child, 78 patients remained for analyses. We assessed children's quality of life using the parent proxy version of the KIDSCREEN-10 and parental quality of life using the EORTC QLQ C30 quality of life questionnaire. Additionally, the questionnaire comprised open questions about positive and negative changes parents perceived in their children as well as questions on specific family- and child-related psychosocial needs. The majority of participants were mothers (91%), mainly diagnosed with breast cancer (59%). The participating parents provided data on 117 minor children. Parents mentioned positive changes in 38% of the children (e.g., being more attentive and helpful). Negative changes were reported in 37% of the children (e.g., being more anxious and clingy). Parents reported family-specific psychosocial supportive care needs for themselves as a parent (e.g., support regarding parenting concerns), support needs for the partner or the children. Moreover, parents expressed family-related information needs and needs regarding practical aspects (e.g., childcare, household help). Global quality of life was M = 55.7 (SD = 23.4) for parents and M = 57.5 (SD = 15.5) for children. Pearson's correlation coefficient between parental and children's quality of life was 0.377 (p < 0.001). To identify parents with cancer and children in need for additional support, health care providers should proactively inquire about the impact of the disease on the children. In terms of a comprehensive cancer care, the direct assessment of family impact and family-specific support needs in cancer patients with minor children allows for needs-based allocation to support offers.
