Carmen García‐Ríos, Ana Santos‐Ruiz
Many studies have shown that patients with autoimmune disease present a hypoactive hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis, but the results are controversial. Our objective was to study differences in stress response axis activity between patients with autoimmune disease and healthy people. The study sample consisted of 97 women divided into four groups: 37 healthy women (HW), 21 with systemic lupus

Physiological correlates of anxiety in childhood and adolescence: A systematic review and meta‐analysis Stress Health (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-03-07 Katherine Ko, Alana Jones, Deanna Francis, Serje Robidoux, Genevieve McArthur
Anxiety is one of the most prevalent problems that affects children and adolescents. The vast majority of diagnostic tools for anxiety depend on written or verbal reports from children and adolescents or their significant others. The validity and reliability of such reports can be compromised by their subjective nature. Thus, there is growing interest in whether anxiety can be indexed with objective

The foundations of mind‐body medicine: Love, good relationships, and happiness modulate stress and promote health Stress Health (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-03-05 Tobias Esch, George B. Stefano, Maren M. Michaelsen
Although stress is an everyday fact of life, it can lead to poor health outcomes, particularly when intense or prolonged. However, humans have unique cognitive abilities and thus may be able to combat stress by engaging critical psychological defence mechanisms. In this review, we discuss the field of mind‐body medicine, which focuses on improving our understanding of the mechanisms underlying this

Exploring the interplay of psychological and biological components of stress response and telomere length in the transition from middle age to late adulthood: A systematic review Stress Health (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-03-05 Juliana Nery Souza‐Talarico, Sherry Chesak, Natalie Elizalde, Wen Liu, Chooza Moon, Natany da Costa Ferreira Oberfrank, Amy Joanna Rauer, Camila Lopes Takao, Clarissa Shaw, Anitha Saravanan, Fabiana Gulin Longhi Palacio, Harleah Buck
Ageing and chronic stress have been linked to reduced telomere length (TL) in mixed‐age groups. Whether stress response components are linked to TL during the midlife‐to‐late adulthood transition remains unclear. Our study aimed to synthesise evidence on the relationship between psychological and biological components of stress response on TL in middle‐aged and older adults. We conducted a systematic

When experiencing nice interactions at work: Good sleep quality via well‐being Stress Health (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-03-01 Mansik Yun, Terry Beehr
Based on the Work–Home Resources Model and Conservation of Resources Theory, we develop dual mechanisms by which nice interactions (patients' compliments and coworkers' informational support) predict sleep quality. Specifically, we expect these nice interactions to help individuals conserve their personal energy in the form of less cognitive depletion (a cognitive process) and diminished physical fatigue

Mediating effect of coping dispositions on the association between trauma and gastrointestinal symptoms Stress Health (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-02-07 Boukje Y. S. Nass, Pauline Dibbets, C. Rob Markus
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are two gastrointestinal (GI) conditions known to be exacerbated by traumatic life experiences. One way in which these experiences might influence individuals' susceptibility to GI pathology, is by reducing their ability to deal with adversities effectively and predisposing them to passive coping styles that leave them vulnerable to

Infant emotion regulation in the context of stress: Effects of heart rate variability and temperament Stress Health (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-01-24 Sandra J. Weiss, Victoria F. Keeton, Cherry Leung, Sandra Niemann
Stressful events are inherently emotional. As a result, the ability to regulate emotions is critical in responding effectively to stressors. Differential abilities in the management of stress appear very early in life, compelling a need to better understand factors that may shape the capacity for emotion regulation (ER). Variations in both biologic and behavioural characteristics are thought to influence

Multi-ethnic variation in the ties that bind rumination and heart rate variability: Implications for health disparities Stress Health (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-01-11 Vida Pourmand, Adebisi A. Akinyemi, Beatriz Lopez Galeana, Darcianne K. Watanabe, LaBarron K. Hill, Cameron R. Wiley, Jos F. Brosschot, Julian F. Thayer, DeWayne P. Williams
Higher self-reported rumination, a common form of trait perseverative cognition, is linked with lower resting heart rate variability (HRV), which indicates poorer cardiac function and greater disease risk. A meta-analysis and systematic review indicated that in samples with fewer European Americans, the association of rumination with both heart rate and blood pressure was stronger. Thus, trait rumination

The tendency to appraise stressful situations as more of a threat is associated with poorer health and well-being Stress Health (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2023-12-18 Ella McLoughlin, Rachel Arnold, Lee J. Moore
It has been argued that habitually appraising stressful events as more of a threat (i.e., situational demands exceed personal coping resources) may increase one's risk of ill-health (e.g., depression). However, while first theorized 15 years ago, little research has tested this assertion. Thus, this study offered a novel test of the associations between trait challenge and threat appraisals and health-related
