Abstract

The marital dissolution as a traumatic event for children and adolescents might yield different outcomes for each adolescent. Previous studies suggested that adolescents who have high resilience tend to experience positive changes / post- traumatic growth following traumatic events, which results in higher well-being. Hence, it is necessary to conduct research about resilience and post-traumatic growth as predictors of psychological well-being among adolescents who have been through their parents’ marital dissolution. The recent study aims to investigate the relations among those variables. A total of 56 participants (mean age: 15.27; 66.1% female) who lived in Semarang completed three measurements. Correlational, t-test, and path analysis were applied. The result suggests that both resilience and post-traumatic growth significantly and positively correlated toward psychological well-being. Furthermore, post-traumatic growth was found to have a significant partial mediating effect on the relationship between resilience and psychological well-being. These findings suggest that though promoting resilience could improve the psychological well-being of adolescents who have been through their parents’ marital dissolution, clinicians need to ensure that adolescents experience post-traumatic growth through cognitive therapy or counseling sessions to achieve better psychological well-being.

Abstract

Introduction Anxiety prevalence among PDL is 40% to 100%, and unmanaged anxiety may lead to more severe psychological and health concerns. Aim This study examined the mediating role of forgiveness in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and anxiety among PDL. Methods A cross-sectional non-experimental design was conducted among 376 PDL. Participants completed the ACEQ, Heartland Forgiveness Scale, and GAD-7. Data were analyzed using correlation, regression, and mediation analyses. Results ACEs were positively associated with anxiety (r = .43, p < .001) and negatively associated with forgiveness (r = -.16, p = .002), while forgiveness was negatively associated with anxiety (r = -.37, p < .001). Forgiveness partially mediated the relationship between ACEs and anxiety (β = 0.104, p = .004). Conclusion Forgiveness partially mediates the relationship between ACEs and anxiety; however, trauma-informed interventions remain necessary to address underlying childhood adversity and reduce anxiety among PDL.

Abstract

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) signifies the final stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), often necessitating kidney transplants or hemodialysis for survival. Hemodialysis imposes significant limitations on patients' daily lives, potentially leading to psychological issues. Prior studies have examined hemodialysis patients' experiences and quality of life, but the Philippine context, particularly among young adults, remains understudied. This research aims to describe the lived experiences of young adult hemodialysis patients, understand their perceptions of life-and-death risks, and explore changes in their quality of life and mental health. The study employed descriptive phenomenological research with thematic analysis, involving five young adult patients undergoing hemodialysis. Themes such as difficulty understanding their situation, dealing with life’s difficulties, life of uncertainty, and psychological impacts emerged from the data which provided insight into the experiences of young adult patients. Understanding these experiences can enhance care, support, and overall quality of life for young adult hemodialysis patients.
