The impact of skin involvement on the psychological well-being of patients with sarcoidosis.

ABSTRACT: Background:Physicians frequently face challenges when screening and managing mental health impairment caused by different diseases, particularly those involving the skin. Objective:We aim to identify the major aspects of mental health impairment related to secondary skin involvement occurring in sarcoidosis patients. Methods:A total of 718 patients with a biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of sarcoidosis were included from the A Case Control Etiologic Study of Sarcoidosis (ACCESS) study. Sample was divided into two groups depending on presence or absence of skin involvement. Each recruited patient underwent mental health assessment using two measures: depression and mood scales. Demographic data of participants was obtained. Results:A total of 143 sarcoidosis patients had secondary skin involvement, and 575 had no skin involvement. Sarcoidosis patients with skin involvement had lost their appetite more frequently, experienced low mood more frequently, and had frequently encountered a significant loss of acceptance compared to patients without skin involvement. Conclusion:A multidisciplinary approach including a focused psychological assessment for patients with sarcoidosis; particularly those with skin involvement, is encouraged.

Project description:In a modern working environment characterized by new technology and work assignments extended to personal time, employees are expected to balance multiple roles while maintaining maximum productivity. Past studies analyzed work-family conflict and its connection to job performance, without adequate integration of psychological factors into the research model. This study aims to fill the gap and explain the impact of work-family conflict and psychological factors on job performance. To explore the association between work-family conflict and job performance and measure the effects on psychological safety and psychological well-being, an empirical study was conducted on a sample of 277 company employees in Bahrain. The online questionnaire used five-point Likert-scales adopted from previous studies to measure the variables of the research model. In the structural model, relationships between work-family conflict, psychological well-being, psychological safety, and job performance were tested. Confirmatory Factor Analysis with Maximum likelihood estimation was performed by using SEM software AMOS version 23. The findings of the study suggest there is a negative impact of work-family conflict on psychological safety and psychological well-being. This study is significant since it detaches from the prior researches focused on observing the repercussions of work-family conflict in workers' well-being, and centers on the analysis of job performance instead. The findings show that psychological well-being and psychological safety influence job performance. When psychological well-being and psychological safety of employees are unsatisfactory, job performance will decrease accordingly. The mediation test indicated that work-family conflict had an indirect influence on job performance when psychological safety and psychological well-being were mediators. The study contributes to a better understanding of work-family conflict, psychology of employees, and job performance. The study provides valuable insight to organizations on ways to increase employees' effectiveness and ensure better performance by preventing work-family conflict from occurring.
