For example, if the longitudinal stability of the latent factor is higher for women than for men, the capacity of the latent distress scale to predict an event at a subsequent cycle of the survey will be higher for women.
However, future studies may want to test how distress measures as proposed here and possibly others might best be integrated into a unifying measure of distress to reliably predict cardiac prognosis after MI.
In the present study, especially the 'bodily distress' symptoms were able to predict outcome.
43 The increase after the intervention in treatment seeking indicates increased acknowledgment (possibly perception) and acceptance of personal needs, and perception of high levels of emotional distress has been shown to predict professional help seeking.
For the present study, factors that have been previously shown to predict distress will be examined for their potential to moderate the effects of the intervention; namely, availability of social support, cognitive vulnerability to distress, and motivation to seek information [ 8, 31].
The mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (MEPDG) recommends dynamic modulus as a key input parameter to predict distresses (rutting and fatigue cracking) of a flexible pavement.
We conclude that it is possible to predict distress-induced food intake using self-reports of emotional eating provided that the participants have sufficiently extreme emotional eating scores.
The objective of the two current studies was to test whether it is possible to predict distress-induced eating with a self-report emotional eating scale by using extreme scorers.
After adjusting for potential confounders, only being on MDR-TB treatment (AOR: 3.02; 95% CI: 1.17 7.75) and having low economic status (AOR: 3.75; 95% CI: 2.08 6.74) were able to predict psychological distress significantly at 6 months after treatment initiation; none of the other variables significantly predicted psychological distress at 6 months (Table 2).
Studies in tumor-bearing patients suggest that cancer diagnosis and its treatment are associated with substantial psychological and physiological distress [10], which were reported to predict accelerated disease progression [11], [12].
