Abstract

Introduction: Back pain is a common reason for being absent from work and seeking medical treatment. It can result from injury, activity, and some medical conditions. Back pain consists of lower back pain and upper back pain. Back pain does have a physical cause, but it can also be triggered by precipitating factors, namely loneliness. To explain the mechanism that associates back pain with loneliness. Methods: Literature review. Results: Loneliness is divided into 2 types, namely social loneliness and emotional loneliness. Social loneliness is associated with the absence of a social network from the same circle, with which they can share the same activities or interests. Emotional loneliness can arise due to the absence of close emotional attachment. Whether or not back pain persists depends on whether the individual chooses problem-solving or problem avoidance. Loneliness in several studies increases the morbidity rate of physical and mental illness and also the mortality rate. Early detection of somatic symptoms and loneliness requires a self-measurement scale. Therapeutic interventions aimed at increasing social connection hold merit in reducing the impact of pain on engagement with activities. The treatments are usually Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Antidepressants. If necessary, consulting a psychiatrist is recommended. The cooperation of orthopedists, rheumatologists, and physical therapists with psychiatrists can be useful in improving the condition of patients. Conclusions: Recommendations for management are needed both in terms of general and specific strategies, as well as loneliness interventions.

Abstract

Introduction: Loneliness among college students is quite prevalent. Students in their early years experience a transition period when entering university. Conditions with a new living environment, a new social environment, adjustments to peer relations, and a new academic atmosphere, support the occurrence of loneliness conditions in students. This study aims to understand loneliness in college student Methods: Literature ReviewResults: College students have a greater risk of experiencing loneliness. The impact of loneliness on students is also quite significant, both physically and psychologically. Loneliness can affect mental conditions of depression, anxiety, suicide, and low self-esteem which will ultimately lead to a decrease in quality of life. The physical effects of loneliness can also result in prolonged feelings of fatigue, limited physical activity, cardiovascular disorders, and unhealthy lifestyles which ultimately also have an impact on decreasing quality of life. Intervention and prevention to overcome loneliness are urgently needed, such as improving social skills, overcoming and adapting maladaptive social cognition, increasing social support, mindfulness interventions, and improving friendships. Conclusions: Prevention programs for loneliness are very important to implement. Such an intervention could help reduce the burden of the disease in students’ future professional lives.

Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Loneliness, a subjective feeling of social isolation, and social isolation, an objective lack of social connections, contribute to social vulnerability and physical frailty. Psychological factors and social support play important roles in CVD, affecting health behaviors and physiological mechanisms. This review aims to provide an understanding of how loneliness and social isolation impact CVD. Methods: A literature review was conducted to identify relevant studies investigating the association between loneliness, social isolation, and cardiovascular disease. Results: The findings indicate that social isolation and loneliness are significant risk factors for CVD, independent of other risk factors. The prevalence of loneliness has increased in modern society, affecting individuals of all ages. Loneliness and social isolation influence physiological processes such as activating the HPA axis, causing inflammation and alterations in immune function, and activating the sympathetic nervous system. These effects contribute to an increased risk of CVD, including elevated blood pressure, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and potential cardiac autonomic dysregulation. Conclusion: Loneliness and social isolation pose significant risks for cardiovascular disease (CVD), influencing physiological processes such as inflammation, immune function, and sympathetic nervous system activation. Understanding these relationships is crucial for developing effective strategies to prevent and manage CVD, emphasizing the importance of interventions targeting both psychological and physiological aspects of social well-being.

Abstract

Introduction: Caring for children with special needs often poses various challenges, including coping with stress in parenting. Single parents have an even increased vulnerability to stressful conditions in parenting, especially from feelings of loneliness and alienation. This literature review aims to obtain an effective intervention model for overcoming loneliness for single parents with special needs children. Methods: Various studies were searched with the keywords “role of a single parent,” “function of a single parent,” “children with special needs,” and “loneliness.” Selected studies are evaluated and critically reviewed. Results: Various challenges of parenting children with special needs include stigma, efforts to overcome communication and behavior problems of children, adjustments to parenting according to special needs conditions, economic burdens, and intrapersonal problems of single parents. These challenges can be significant stressors that further degrade the quality of life of single parents and their children. However, they can be opportunities for personality development and parenting skills through self-care efforts and seeking psychiatric help, including efforts to find a community that understands the experience of being a single parent. Conclusions: Efforts to help single parents cope with loneliness include improving self-efficacy, emotional stability, positive parenting, and social intelligence by being part of a supportive community. Keywords: Single Parent, Children, Special Needs, Loneliness, Psychological Wellbeing

Abstract

Introduction: With the growth of the aging population, we need to ensure that elderly people can live the rest of their lives with a satisfactory quality of life. However, the occurrence of psychosis in the elderly, especially at a later age, is a risk for decreased quality of life and a high risk of morbidity and mortality. The first episode of psychosis in age 60 or over is called very late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis (VLOSLP) and needs to be distinguished from secondary psychosis such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) with psychotic symptoms. Case: A 77-year-old woman was brought by her family to the geriatric psychiatry clinic due to strange behavior such as hearing voices and obeying the voices’ commands since the last 6 months that worsened in the last month. In the last month, the patient also had sleeping difficulty, pacing at night, and accusing family of trying to harm her. After one month of therapy with Risperidone, the patient was showing improvement in the reduction of the voices. Discussion: The patient was assessed as VLOSLP with the first episode of psychosis with schizophrenia spectrum core symptoms such as paranoid delusion and auditory-verbal hallucination.  Conclusion: In this case, clinicians work with insufficient additional examination data, and that could also apply to clinicians in the remote area with no access to more comprehensive modalities to differentiate early stages of AD with psychosis and VLOSLP from clinical symptoms. However, more data is needed to establish clinical criteria regarding VLOSLP.

Abstract

Introduction: First-generation antipsychotics could reduce the positive symptoms of schizophrenia but also impair cognitive function. Cognitive and negative symptoms in schizophrenia could be a significant burden experienced both by the patients and caregivers. Thus the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia should be addressed properly. The purpose of writing this article is to increase awareness in administering antipsychotics to elderly patients with schizophrenia, especially in the cognitive aspect and how to overcome possible cognitive decline. Case: An outpatient female schizophrenic patient who was on first-generation antipsychotic treatment complained of forgetfulness. The complaint started 5 years after she received her treatment. While she could still perform her activities of daily living independently, her instrumental activities of daily living were impaired. Her food got burnt while she was cooking, and she also took her medicine excessively because she forgot about it. Both of those events could be very dangerous for her. Discussion: Antipsychotics are the first-line pharmacotherapy for the treatment of schizophrenia but could also cause cognitive impairment. Management of cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia could be performed both non-pharmacologically, by giving cognitive remediation therapy or physical exercise, and pharmacologically, by giving cholinergic agents such as donepezil. Conclusions: Cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia should be managed as well as psychotic symptoms.

Abstract

Introductions: Children with autism are a group of people with a pervasive developmental disorder characterized by abnormalities and/or developmental disabilities, marked by the presence of abnormalities in social interaction, communication, and limited and repetitive behavior. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder have more sleep disturbances that correlate with the severity of autism symptoms, such as aggression. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between sleep disturbances and aggression in children with autism at the Child Psychiatry Daycare Unit of Dr. Soetomo Regional General Hospital Surabaya. Methods: The research design used in this study is cross-sectional with a quantitative approach. Sampling was done using the total sampling method, resulting in 40 respondents. Sleep disturbance variables were measured using the Children’s Sleep Habit Questionnaire Abbreviated (CSHQ-A), and aggression variables were measured using the Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS). Data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation test. Results: The results showed a correlation coefficient of 0.841 with a significant p-value of < α 5% (0.05). Data analysis indicates that sleep disturbances in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder are strongly and linearly related to the level of aggression displayed. Conclusion: In conclusion, the more severe the sleep disturbances experienced by autistic children, the more severe the aggression displayed by children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Abstract

Introduction: Antipsychotic is the drug of choice in patients with mental disorders, especially schizophrenia. The use of antipsychotics in geriatric patients presents a concern, as age can lead to physiological changes that can impact both therapeutic effects and side effects. Problems related to drug therapy, if not resolved, can lead to decreased quality of life, increased health care costs, increased clinical consequences, and even mortality. The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate and assess adverse drug reactions of antipsychotics among geriatric patients. Methods: Systematic literature search using Cochrane, ProQuest, Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar with a publication time limit from 2013 to 2023. We conducted the review in accordance with PRISMA provisions. We identified a total of 1145 articles and included 7 of them in the review. Results: This review presents the incidence of antipsychotic side effects in geriatric patients. The side effects that were observed included low blood pressure, increased blood pressure, somnolence, dizziness, constipation, agitation, weight gain, tremors and extra-pyramidal symptoms, hyperprolactinemia, tachycardia, bradycardia, insomnia, and sedation. Regarding the regimen, four studies reported olanzapine. Two studies reported clozapine and risperidone, and one study reported haloperidol, cariprazine, levomepromazine, and quetiapine. Conclusion: Follow-up and long-term studies with larger sample sizes in geriatrics are needed to confirm the side effects of antipsychotics. Knowledge of drug side effects is useful for determining appropriate therapy for geriatric patients with psychiatric disorders.

Abstract

Introduction: Children with disabilities/chronic illnesses often have difficulties in socializing and tend to have a low self-image. Parents, as the main children’s self-image-forming factor, also ex-perience difficulties in dealing with their children. This study aims to increase children’s and parents’ knowledge about self-image and acceptance, hence improving children’s self-image. Methods: A quasi-experimental research study with the intervention of three modules for children and parents was carried out between June and September 2022. Thirty children and their parents from the Community for Empowerment of Parents of Children with Special Needs, the Heart Warrior Community, and the Foundation for De-velopment of Disabled Children were included. Pretest and posttest were measured and statistically tested using the Wilcoxon test. At the end of the interventions, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Self-Harm Inventory, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, and Pediatric Quality of Life were measured. Results: There was a sig-nificant increase in knowledge on 3 child modules and 1 parent module. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale score is 17.17 ± 2.618 (good self-image); the Self-Harm Inventory score is 2.18 ± 3.275 (low risk of self-injury); the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire score is 18.37 ± 5.230 (moderate difficulty); and the Pediatric Qual-ity of Life value is 34.64 ± 12.077 (good quality of life). Conclusion: The self-image strengthening module intervention is effective in increasing children’s and parents’ knowledge. Children with dis-abilities/chronic illnesses have a good self-image, low self-harm tendencies, and relatively good quality of life.
