Examination of Chronic Sorrow Among Parents of Children With Disabilities: Cross-Sectional Study

Their emotions can include sadness, anger, and frustration and be periodic in nature [4]. Multiple studies have aimed to measure chronic sorrow among parents of children with different health conditions. These include but are not limited to chronic illness and disabilities [4], autism [5,6], cancer [7], sickle cell disease [8], neurodevelopmental disorders [9], type 1 diabetes [10], and Down syndrome [11]. As a result, the concept of chronic sorrow emerged to explore the daily experiences of these parents.

Association of Spontaneous and Induced Self-Affirmation With Smoking Cessation in Users of a Mobile App: Randomized Controlled Trial

Sadness, in particular, may be a hindrance to quitting smoking and predicting relapse during the smoking cessation process [55]. Sadness is associated with reward-seeking tendencies to mitigate loss [56], which can result in increased hedonically pleasing, but often unhealthy, appetitive behavior [57], including smoking [55]. Thus, when current or former smokers feel sad, they may turn to cigarettes in an attempt to improve their mood.
