Hispanic and Latinx people practice spirituality in a wide array of forms. Whereas Catholicism has been the dominant religion for centuries, a re-birth of Native American and African spirituality has taken place over the last few decades. In parallel, the influence of the United States in the Latin world is reflected in the rapidly growing popularity of Evangelical Christianity. In order to better understand and study spiritual practices in Latin America, one must understand the historical vicissitudes that led to the formation of these religions and the context in which they became ingrained in these territories.

西班牙裔和拉美裔人的精神信仰形式多种多样。几个世纪以来,天主教一直是占主导地位的宗教,而在过去的几十年里,美洲原住民和非洲人的精神信仰得到了重生。与此同时,美国对拉丁世界的影响也反映在福音派基督教的迅速流行上。为了更好地了解和研究拉丁美洲的精神习俗,我们必须了解导致这些宗教形成的历史变迁以及它们在这些地区根深蒂固的背景。 [ Psychiatr Ann .

Spirituality and psychiatry have had a complex relationship, with much debate on the inclusion of spiritual and religious concepts in guiding psychiatric care. South Asians in the United States (US) are the largest growing immigrant population with a heterogeneous mix of many religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Jainism, Sikhism, and Christianity. South Asians are more vulnerable to mental health disorders compared to the US general population in general, yet have much lower health care utilization rates. This article aims to address the unmet needs in mental health care for South Asians and address the knowledge gap among mental health care practitioners, to enable spiritually integrated care.

灵性与精神病学之间的关系错综复杂,关于将灵性和宗教概念纳入精神病学护理指导的争论不绝于耳。在美国,南亚人是增长最快的移民群体,他们混合信奉多种宗教,包括印度教、佛教、伊斯兰教、耆那教、锡克教和基督教。与美国普通人相比,南亚人更容易患精神疾病,但其医疗保健利用率却低得多。本文旨在解决南亚人在心理健康护理方面未得到满足的需求,并弥补心理健康护理从业人员的知识空白,从而实现精神上的综合护理。 [ Psychiatr Ann .

Methods of restraint can be used to prevent hospitalized psychiatric patients from injuring themselves or others, but use of restraints causes various ethical problems in psychiatric nursing. This study examined the relationship between nurses' sociodemographic characteristics, types of restraint methods used, nurses' opinions about those methods, and their level of ethical sensitivity toward their use. We found the moral sensitivity of our participants to be moderate, and statistically significant differences were found related to marital status, shift type, and restraint method used. Based on our results, we recommend improving nurses' working conditions, increasing their level of ethical knowledge, and expanding the number of studies on these issues.

Several studies have suggested that misophonia should be categorized as an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) due to similar neural manifestations, such as impairments in limbic structures, and psychological features, such as perfectionism and disgust sensitivity. However, the two disorders may differ in the domains of disgust sensitivity. In OCD, the domain of pathogen disgust has been studied extensively as per the contamination subtype. In misophonia, pathogen disgust has not been reported. We hypothesized that moral disgust may better characterize individuals with misophonia, as studies indicate that people with misophonia view their triggers as morally unacceptable. Furthermore, neuroimaging has shown anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) activation particularly during exposure to misophonic triggers, which is an area associated with moral assessment of stimuli. Another psychological factor that may point to the two disorders being discrete is intolerance of uncertainty (IU), an aversion to undetermined events. IU has been well documented in OCD: It has been found to be positively associated with striatal volume and dysfunction in the ACC—both of which are common findings in OCD. We expected people with misophonia not to exhibit IU since they experience distress in response to specific triggers and, unlike individuals with OCD, do not experience preemptive anxiety. Multivariate logistic regression analysis run on survey-gathered data revealed IU as a significant predictor of OCD symptoms and moral disgust as a significant predictor of misophonia. Consistent with our hypotheses, our findings suggest that IU and moral disgust and the associated neural underpinnings differentiate misophonia from OCD. [ Psychiatr Ann . 2023;53(12):570–580.]

The influence of spirituality and religiosity in the Black community has historically been significant. While spirituality and religiosity are important for the majority of Americans, compared to other races/ethnicities, Black people report the highest valuation for religion in their individual lives. Spirituality and religiosity have known protective effects on health, although, compared to the general relationship between these factors and general health care, the role of spirituality and religiosity within the mental health system is not well characterized. In significant ways for the Black community, while serving a protective and positive function, spirituality and religiosity can also create tensions for patients within mainstream mental health care systems that emphasize a biopsychosocial framework, leaving out key dimensions of spiritual well-being and formation. The complexity of the relationship between Black people's mental health and their religion and spirituality also has roots in a history of colonialism and racism. In this article, we describe some ways in which religion and spirituality have been important to the health and well-being of the Black community, as well as certain ways these factors have created tension within the community.

精神信仰和宗教信仰对黑人社区的影响历来很大。虽然精神信仰和宗教信仰对大多数美国人来说都很重要,但与其他种族/族裔相比,黑人在个人生活中对宗教的重视程度最高。众所周知,灵性和宗教信仰对健康具有保护作用,不过,与这些因素与一般医疗保健之间的一般关系相比,灵性和宗教信仰在心理健康系统中的作用还没有得到很好的体现。对于黑人社区来说,灵性和宗教信仰在起到保护和积极作用的同时,也会给主流心理健康医疗系统中的病人造成紧张,因为主流心理健康医疗系统强调生物-心理-社会框架,忽略了精神健康和形成的关键因素。黑人心理健康与其宗教和灵性之间关系的复杂性还源于殖民主义和种族主义的历史。在本文中,我们描述了宗教和灵性对黑人社区的健康和福祉具有重要意义的一些方式,以及这些因素在社区内部造成紧张关系的某些方式。 [ Psychiatr Ann .

Sleep disturbances (eg, insomnia, hypersomnia, poor sleep quality) are a prominent feature of bipolar disorder (BD). Furthermore, sleep difficulties are present across all phases of BD, including euthymia, and these difficulties contribute to the risk and maintenance of depressive and (hypo)manic episodes. Although existing pharmacological and psychosocial treatments offer hope for ameliorating sleep difficulties in BD, conventional treatments are limited in their ability to accurately capture detailed sleep patterns, detect early onset of sleep difficulties, and deliver personalized interventions. Widely accessible contemporary digital technologies show promise for mitigating these limitations and advancing sleep treatment for individuals with BD. We summarize and synthesize research examining the use of three digital tools for sleep assessment and intervention in BD: smartphone applications, ecological momentary assessment, and actigraphy. We also discuss the benefits, risks, and limitations of these technologies. [ Psychiatr Ann . 2023;53(11):496–501.]

This study aimed to determine the effect of negative automatic thoughts on medication adherence in individuals with schizophrenia. This was a cross-sectional study carried out in a community mental health center between October 2022 and December 2022. The study included 102 individuals with schizophrenia. Data was collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Negative Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire (NAT-Q), and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS). The individuals' total mean NAT-Q score was 106.34 ± 27.32. There was a strong negative correlation between NAT-Q and MMAS scores ( r = −0.822, P < 0.05). The study found that negative automatic thoughts predicted medication adherence by 67%. The negative automatic thoughts of the individuals were high and the medication adherence of half of the individuals was low. It was determined that the level of negative automatic thoughts of individuals with schizophrenia may negatively affect their medication adherence. [ Psychiatr Ann . 2023;53(11):518–524.]

There appears to be a significant bidirectional relationship between substance use and sleep disturbances. Sleep disturbances with or without a primary psychiatric disorder can increase the risk of emergence or relapse of substance use disorder. Conversely, both short-and long-term use of substances could lead to acute and chronic disturbances in sleep. This narrative review describes the existing literature on the bidirectional relationships between sleep disturbances and substance use in the context of alcohol, opioid, cannabis, tobacco, methamphetamine, and cocaine use.

Sleep disturbances, namely insomnia and recurrent nightmares, are ubiquitous following trauma exposure and are considered hallmarks of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Other sleep disorders frequently co-occur with PTSD. This article describes research examining sleep problems most common in PTSD, including prevalence and clinical characteristics. Sleep disturbances are often robust to trauma-focused treatment; thus, evidence for psychological and pharmacological interventions for insomnia and nightmares in PTSD are discussed. Given the high prevalence of sleep problems in PTSD, more work is needed to empirically study putative mechanisms linking trauma exposure and sleep, as well as how to best target these symptoms in patients with PTSD.
