en: Model for compassion fatigue onset in cancer care nurses: focusing on patient traumatic events and nurses' cognitive reactions.

en: Continuous interaction with patients with cancer is key in the onset of compassion fatigue (CF) among nurses, and cognitive reactions are hypothesized to mediate the relationship between patient interactions and CF. This study develops and evaluates a model addressing traumatic events in patients with cancer, nurses' cognitive reactions, and professional quality of life, including CF.A cross-sectional survey was conducted among nurses working at designated cancer hospitals. The Professional Quality of Life Scale was used to measure CF, while items assessing patient traumatic events and nurses' cognitive reactions were developed based on previous qualitative findings. Structural equation modeling was employed to examine associations among variables.Data from 536 participants were analyzed. Among five event categories, ``bad news from doctors'' directly affected CF; the others indirectly affected CF, mediated by four subfactors of cognitive reactions: ``reconsideration of the meaning of life,'' ``desire to avoid one's professional duties,'' ``sense of professional mission,'' and ``compassion for patients and their families.'' All effects on CF, except ``compassion for patients and their families'' (β=-0.357, p = 0.001), were positive.These findings highlight the significance of specific traumatic events experienced by patients and cognitive reactions to these events at the onset of CF among cancer care nurses. Preventing CF is conceivable by targeting nurses' cognitive reactions—especially thoughts confronting life's meaning, desire to avoid or escape professional duties, and a sense of mission as a nurse—while promoting compassionate thoughts toward patients and their families.The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12912-025-04050-4.

en: Worklife balance, social support, and professional quality of life among end-of-life care nurses: A secondary analysis

en: Limited research has explored how factors related to nurses' personal lives impact their professional quality of life (QOL). The present study aimed to investigate the effects of satisfaction with work-life balance (WLB) and social support from family, friends, and significant others on the professional QOL among nurses providing end-of-life care. This cross-sectional study utilized an online survey to assess nurses in home care settings and palliative care units. WLB and social support were assessed using a 4-point Likert scale, whereas the Professional QOL Scale was utilized to measure secondary traumatic stress (STS), compassion satisfaction (CS), and burnout (BO). In a multigroup analysis, WLB had significant direct effects on STS and BO in both settings. Regarding CS, WLB demonstrated a significant effect only in palliative care unit nurses (β = 0.212). Social support had significant direct effects on STS and BO in home care nurses (β = -0.190 and -0.215, respectively). These results suggest that professional QOL is affected by WLB among nurses providing end-of-life care; however, social support impacts the professional QOL of only those in home care settings.

en: Expectations of respiratory physicians from psychologists in palliative care for patients with non-cancer respiratory diseases.

en: Psychological symptoms are common in patients with non-malignant respiratory disease (NMRD). Psychologists can likely play a role in NMRD palliative care. We aimed to explore the expectations of respiratory physicians from psychologists in NMRD palliative care. An ad hoc questionnaire was developed based on a free-descriptive questionnaire survey among respiratory physicians from four hospitals in Japan. Using this questionnaire, we surveyed respiratory physicians from eight hospitals in Japan and assessed their expectations of psychologists' support and outcomes. Expectations were compared between physicians with and without experience of working with psychologists. The quantitative questionnaire was completed by 129 physicians. Data analysis from 108 participants revealed that the highly expected support included "getting early information on patients' psychological distress" (97.2%) and "counseling family members regarding anxiety caused by changes in patient's condition" (96.3%). Physicians also expected "relief in patient's psychological distress" (96.3%) and "providing the psychological support that families need" (95.4%) from psychologists. Compared to physicians with experience of working with psychologists, those without expected more in terms of "giving specific advice on the way of communication and psychological support" (p = 0.035) and "providing psychological support for difficult-to-handle patients and families on behalf of other medical staff" (p = 0.036). Respiratory physicians may expect relief of psychological distress experienced by patients and their families from psychologists by getting information about their distress and providing psychological support. These results may be useful for psychologists to provide palliative care for patients with NMRD in collaboration with respiratory physicians.

en: Psychometric properties of the Japanese version of the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory for community-dwelling older adults.

en: This study developed a Japanese version of the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI-J) and its short form (GAI-J-SF) to evaluate anxiety in older adults in Japan and assess these measures' psychometric properties with a cross-sectional design. Participants (N = 400; mean age: 75ears) were community-dwelling older adults who answered a set of self-report questionnaires. They were recruited from a community centre for older persons in the Kanto region of Japan. Of the respondents, 100 participated in a follow-up survey to evaluate test-retest reliability. Item response theory was adopted to evaluate item parameters. Confirmatory factor analysis with categorical data suggested that, as with the original Geriatric Anxiety Inventory, the GAI-J/GAI-J-SF had a unifactor structure. Test-retest correlation and internal consistency analyses indicated that these scales had high reliability. Item response theory results showed that both measures' item parameters were acceptable. Correlations with the Penn State Worry Questionnaire, State Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Only, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 were mostly consistent with our hypotheses. This supports the high convergent validity of the GAI-J/GAI-J-SF. The findings indicate that the GAI-J and the GAI-J-SF have robust psychometric properties for assessing late-life anxiety in older Japanese adults. Future GAI-J studies in clinical groups are needed.

en: Factors related to the fatigue of relief workers in areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake: survey results 2.5 years after the disaster.

en: After the Great East Japan Earthquake (March 11, 2011), the fatigue of relief workers became a major problem in affected areas. In the present study, we conducted a questionnaire survey 2.5 years post-disaster identifying factors related to the fatigue of relief workers. This survey was cross-sectional and participants ( = 119) were relief workers living in affected areas. We used a self-administered questionnaire which included participants' current problems, sources of strong feeling of loss, psychological distress and compassion fatigue. Based on answers (Yes/No) to the fatigue item, we created 2 groups; a Fatigue-group and a Non-fatigue group. We employed bivariate analysis on items with significant differences between the two groups and entered them into a multivariable logistic regression model. Fifty-seven (48%) reported that they were "very tired" and were assigned to the Fatigue group. The total score of the 6-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6) and each subscale score (burnout, secondary trauma, and compassion satisfaction) of the Professional Quality of Life measure (Pro-QOL) in the Fatigue group were significantly higher than those in the Non-fatigue group. There were significant differences between the two groups for 11 items relating to current problems and sources of strong feelings of loss, and the following items were extracted as factors related to the fatigue of relief workers: loss of trust in others (adjusted OR, 10.03: 95%CI, 2.30-43.79), no confidence to continue work (adjusted OR, 6.27: 95%CI, 1.72-22.83), loss of important person(s) (adjusted OR, 5.58: 95%CI, 2.05-15.19), and sleep disturbance (adjusted OR, 5.14: 95%CI, 1.93-13.67). Many relief workers who reported fatigue had experienced various losses and current problems. Adequate consideration and care systems for local relief workers with fatigue should be given for a long-period after a disaster and it is important for the workers themselves to continue accepting support from others and maintaining self-care habits.

ja: 看護師を対象としたProQOL日本語版(ProQOL-JN)の作成

en: In this study, we developed a Japanese version of the Professional Quality of Life Scale for Nurses (ProQOL-JN). The scale was designed to evaluate the quality of life of people working as health care professionals and involves three subscales: compassion fatigue/secondary traumatic stress, compassion satisfaction, and burnout. The scale's reliability and validity were examined using data from 618 Japanese nurses. The results indicated that this scale had three component structures; furthermore, a testretest correlation and an internal consistency indicated that the scale had high reliability. Correlations with the Impact of Event Scale-Revised, the Japanese version of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, and the Japanese version of the Burnout Inventory were mostly consistent with the current theory of professional quality of life, which supports the high validity of the ProQOL-JN. These results indicated that the scale has the required reliability and validity to measure nurses' quality of life.

en: Facing and Avoiding Negative Emotions in Young Adults

ja: 青年期における不快情動との直面を促進する要因に関する検討

en: The aim of this study was to explore what factors helped young adults face negative emotions, and how these factors influenced their avoidance of such emotions. In Study 1, 156 undergraduates completed an open-ended questionnaire. Based on the analysis of the answers, 27 items for facing negative emotions were developed, and along with a 10-item avoidance scale, 320 undergraduates answered them in Study 2. Factor analysis found five factors that helped face negative emotions: supportive others, confidence in negative mood regulation, comfortable environment, painful experience in the past, and will for growth. Results of path analysis indicated that confidence in negative mood regulation, supportive others, and comfortable environment were related to avoidance of negative emotions directly or indirectly. The three factors seemed to be crucial when we wanted to study how young adults faced or avoided their own negative emotions.

en: The purpose of this study was to examine how avoidance of negative emotions affected friendship orientation among Japanese young adults today. We hypothesized a causal model that avoidance of negative emotions resulted in superficial friendship, mediated by anticipation of hurt feeling after self-disclosure. In this study, 190 college students, 61 men and 129 women, completed a questionnaire. Results of structural equation model analysis indicated that avoidance of negative emotions directly influenced two aspects of friend-ship orientation: group formation and caring for friends. It also demonstrated that the avoidance had a significant effect on avoidance of intimate relationship with friends, which was mediated by the anticipation of hurt feeling. The results suggested that avoidance of negative emotions by young Japanese directly and indirectly resulted in superficial friendship.

en: Objective: In previous studies, resignation has been examined from the point of view of goal disengagement and goal reengagement; its relationship with mental health was also considered. However, in a similar survey of Japanese youth, it is predicted that the results may differ from the studies mentioned above, due to differences in culture. This study investigates the effects of goal disengagement and goal reengagement on the mental health of adolescents in Japan.Methods: In all, 235 college students (132 men and 103 women) participated in this study. The participants completed a Japanese Goal Disengagement and Reengagement Scale and the Japanese version of the Perceived Stress Scale.Results: Assessment using a hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that those who were able to reengage in new goals reported better mental health in uncontrollable situations. However, there was no association between any subscales of goal disengagement and the mental health of adolescents.Conclusions: These findings indicate that the tendency of goal reengagement is an important factor that can protect the mental health of adolescents confronted with unattainable goals.
