Abstract

Objective Patients with end-stage lung disease (ESLD) experience significant decrements in quality of life (QOL). Although coping strategies are related to QOL in patients with ESLD, the extent to which specific native lung disease moderates this relationship is unknown.Methods We investigated the relationship between coping, native lung disease, and QOL among 187 patients awaiting lung transplantation, including 139 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 48 with cystic fibrosis (CF). Participants completed a psychosocial battery assessing psychological QOL, physical QOL, and coping strategies.Results For both COPD and CF patients, higher levels of Active Coping (P< .0001) and lower levels of Disengagement (P< .0001) were associated with better psychological QOL. For physical QOL, we observed a Native Disease x Coping interaction (P=.01) such that Active Coping was associated with better physical QOL in patients with COPD but not in patients with CF.Conclusions The relationship between coping and QOL may vary as a function of native lung disease. Patients' native disease may need to be considered in order to develop effective interventions to help patients cope successfully with ESLD.

  • Psychological interventions in the area of organ donation and transplantation are a novelty, with some exceptions.

    “salvo algunas excepciones (por ejemplo, Blumenthal et al., 2006; Taylor et al., 2008), este tipo de intervenciones en el área de la donación y del trasplante de órganos sí que constituyen una novedad”

    From Conviviendo con la incertidumbre: intervención psicológica en una mujer con un problema de adaptación en lista de espera para trasplante de pulmón (2015) · cites this paper as Taylor et al., 2008

    The Introduction (page unavailable) says psychosocial interventions for lung transplant candidates have gained recent attention, which supports the limited point that they are relatively new. But the Methods and Discussion (pages unavailable) show that Taylor et al. examined coping and quality of life in a cross-sectional study; the intervention it describes was a separate, earlier trial. This paper is therefore not itself an example of an intervention, and it does not establish novelty across organ donation and transplantation generally. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Se ha constatado la eficacia de intervenciones cognitivo-conductuales dirigidas a desarrollar un afrontamiento más adaptativo del difícil proceso de trasplante, si bien habitualmente se han desarrollado de manera telemática.

    “es destacable que se ha constatado la eficacia de intervenciones cognitivo-conductuales dirigidas a desarrollar un afrontamiento más adaptativo de este difícil proceso (Blumenthal et al., 2006; Taylor et al., 2008), si bien habitualmente se han desarrollado de manera telemática.”

    From Conviviendo con la incertidumbre: intervención psicológica en una mujer con un problema de adaptación en lista de espera para trasplante de pulmón (2015) · cites this paper as Taylor et al., 2008

    The Discussion (page unavailable) reports that a 12-week telephone-delivered coping-skills intervention for lung-transplant candidates was associated with higher quality of life. It does not identify the intervention as cognitive-behavioral or establish that such interventions are usually delivered remotely. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
