Article Abstract

Aim: Patients' and spouses' neurodevelopmental traits may influence marital relationships, which are significantly associated with depressive symptoms. However, no studies have examined marital relationships in persistent depressive disorder (PDD) in terms of neurodevelopmental traits. This study aimed to explore the association between the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) traits of female PDD patients and both partners' (patient and husband) marital satisfaction.

Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was administered during two predetermined consecutive months at seven institutions. Participants were female outpatients who fulfilled the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition criteria for PDD and their husbands. The instruments of the study were the following validated surveys: the Quality Marriage Index (QMI), the Autism-Spectrum Quotient Japanese version-21 (AQ-J-21), and the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale Part A (ASRS Part A).

Results: The patients' AQ-J-21 showed a positive significant association with their QMI in all patients who responded to this study's questionnaire, whereas among couples wherein both patient and husband responded, the ASRS Part A exhibited a positive significant association with the patients' QMI. Conversely, the husbands' ASRS Part A exhibited a negative significant association with the patients' QMI.

Conclusion: The patients' ASD and ADHD traits may play a positive role in the marital satisfaction of female PDD patients, while their husbands' ADHD traits may play a negative role. For female PDD patients with low marital satisfaction, it may be important to consider whether their husbands have ADHD traits; if so, it may be necessary to develop intervention strategies focused on the traits for improving the low marital satisfaction. However, our conclusions are not sufficiently convincing.

Impact of sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors on functional and health-related quality of life outcomes 24 months after radical prostatectomy.

J Cancer Res Clin Oncol

Department of Urology, University Hospital Tübingen, Eberhard Karls University, Hoppe-Seyler Str. 3, 72076, Tübingen, Germany.

Introduction And Objectives: High socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with improved oncological outcomes across various cancer types, including prostate cancer. However, limited evidence exists regarding the impact of SES and lifestyle factors on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including quality of life (QoL), health status (HS), and functional recovery following radical prostatectomy (RP).

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center analysis of 327 patients undergoing RP (177 open, 150 robotic-assisted) assessing pre- and postoperative functional outcomes (QoL, HS, erectile function, continence).

Goal: Employee well-being surveys are essential tools used by healthcare leaders to assess workforce functioning, such as burnout, team dynamics, and perceptions of support, but surveys frequently have low response rates, which may skew results. Research on nonresponse bias is limited because of the difficulty in sourcing data on outcomes of interest from nonrespondents. This study aimed to examine whether nonrespondents and respondents differed on key outcomes of interest to healthcare leaders to understand whether results of an employee well-being survey were valid.
