Background: Caregiver stress can pose serious health and psychological concerns, highlighting the importance of timely interventions for family caregivers of people with dementia. Single-session mindfulness-based interventions could be a promising yet under-researched approach to enhancing their mental well-being within their unpredictable, time-constrained contexts. This trial will evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of a blended mindfulness-based intervention consisting of a single session and app-based follow-up in reducing caregiver stress.

Methods/design: The study is a single-blinded randomized controlled trial with two arms (intervention versus an education session on dementia care) and assessments at baseline, 8 weeks, and 6 months. The eligibility criteria include: family caregivers aged 18 years or older; providing care for an individual with a confirmed medical diagnosis of dementia for at least 3 months prior to recruitment, with a minimum of 4 hours of daily contact; and exhibiting a high level of caregiver stress. The intervention comprises a 90-minute group-based session with various mindfulness practices and psychoeducation. Participants will receive a self-practice toolkit to guide their practice over a duration of 8 weeks. Sharing activities will be implemented through an online social media platform. The primary outcome is perceived caregiving stress. The secondary outcomes include depressive symptoms, positive aspects of caregiving, dyadic relationship, trait mindfulness, and neuropsychiatric symptoms of care recipients. The feasibility outcomes include eligibility and enrollment, attendance, adherence to self-practice, and retention, assessed using mixed methods.

Discussion: The study will contribute to the evidence base by investigating whether a single-session mindfulness intervention is effective and feasible for reducing caregiver stress among family caregivers of people with dementia.

Introduction: Tokophobia is an intense and pathological fear of pregnancy and childbirth. Despite its significance, no research in Lebanon has investigated primary tokophobia within the general population. Nevertheless, it is crucial to assess the attitudes of both women and men, as potential future parents, towards pregnancy and childbirth, particularly during these challenging times for the Lebanese population. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Tokophobia Severity Scale (TSS) and Fathers' Fear of Childbirth Scale (FFCS) for assessing primary tokophobia among Lebanese nulliparous women and childless men, respectively.

Methods: This cross-sectional investigation encompassed all Lebanese governorates; 651 women and 618 men were recruited via social media platforms, using a snowball sampling technique. The questionnaire included the Tokophobia Severity Scale, the Fathers' Fear of Childbirth Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire, and the Lebanese Anxiety Scale.

Results: Factorial analysis of the TSS in women revealed a three-factor model: concerns related to personal complications (Factor 1), fetal well-being (Factor 2), and outward behavioral responses to fear (Factor 3). The FFCS also yielded a three-factor measurement model: emotional responses during the partner's childbirth (Factor 1), concerns regarding the hospital environment during childbirth (Factor 2), and anxieties surrounding the perinatal health of both the partner and child (Factor 3). Both scales were internally consistent with Cronbach's alpha > 0.9, indicating their reliability. The TSS and FFCS demonstrated statistically significant correlations with measures of anxiety and depression, thus attesting to convergent validity.

Conclusion: The results of this study provide evidence for the psychometric validity and reliability of the TSS and FFCS scales in Arabic-speaking populations. Given the previously overlooked nature of primary tokophobia in these populations, the availability of these validated instruments can significantly enhance the ability to detect and address this condition, ultimately facilitating the provision of necessary support services.

导言托克恐惧症是一种对怀孕和分娩的强烈病态恐惧。尽管其意义重大,但在黎巴嫩还没有研究调查过普通人群中的原发性恐高症。然而,评估作为未来潜在父母的女性和男性对怀孕和分娩的态度至关重要,尤其是在黎巴嫩人口面临挑战的时期。因此,本研究旨在评估托克恐怖症严重程度量表(TSS)和父亲生育恐惧量表(FFCS)的心理测量特性,以分别评估黎巴嫩未婚女性和无子女男性的原发性托克恐怖症:这项横断面调查涵盖了黎巴嫩所有省份;通过社交媒体平台,采用滚雪球抽样技术,招募了 651 名女性和 618 名男性。调查问卷包括托克恐惧症严重程度量表、父亲生育恐惧量表、患者健康问卷和黎巴嫩焦虑量表:对妇女的 TSS 进行因子分析后发现了一个三因子模型:对个人并发症的担忧(因子 1)、对胎儿健康的担忧(因子 2)和对恐惧的外显行为反应(因子 3)。FFCS 也产生了一个三因素测量模型:伴侣分娩时的情绪反应(因素 1)、对分娩时医院环境的担忧(因素 2)以及对伴侣和孩子围产期健康的焦虑(因素 3)。两个量表的内部一致性良好,Cronbach's alpha 均大于 0.9,表明其具有可靠性。TSS和FFCS与焦虑症和抑郁症的测量结果在统计学上有显著的相关性,从而证明了它们的趋同效度:本研究结果为 TSS 和 FFCS 量表在阿拉伯语人群中的心理测量有效性和可靠性提供了证据。鉴于这些人群中的原发性托克恐怖症以前曾被忽视,这些经过验证的工具可以大大提高发现和解决这种情况的能力,最终促进提供必要的支持服务。

Adolescent boys' experiences of stress - a focus group study. 青春期男孩的压力体验--焦点小组研究。
IF 2.7 3区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2024-10-19 DOI: 10.1186/s40359-024-02076-y

Background: The number of adolescents reporting that they are stressed has more than doubled among both boys and girls. Most focus is given to girls because they typically not only report higher levels of stress but also feel stressed more frequently than boys do. However, studies have confirmed that boys' experience of stressors is the same, implying that genders are equally prone to experiencing stress. Although male and female adolescents appear to experience stress in a similar way, how they cope with these stressors might differ. This study focused on boys' experiences of stress and how they cope with it.

Method: Eight focus groups were conducted with 39 adolescent boys aged 12-19 years enrolled in four schools in southern Sweden. The data was analysed inductively with conventional content analysis.

Results: The analysis resulted in three categories: Stress perception - time as a key factor, Identifying stressors and levels of stress, and Silent struggles and distractions. The boys had experienced considerable stress in their lives, despite their limited understanding of the concept. Their coping skills focused on engaging in sports or distracting themselves from stressors while relying less on social support from peers, school staff, or family.

Conclusions: Adolescent boys might need assistance in identifying stress and clearly voicing their specific concerns. They should also be provided with spaces that are free from stigmatization and judgement. Parents, teachers, and school nurses should be equipped with the appropriate tools and education on how to discuss stress and mental health in general with adolescent boys to prevent possible negative long-term consequences for both their physical and mental health.

背景:报告自己压力过大的青少年人数在男孩和女孩中都增加了一倍多。人们之所以关注女孩,是因为她们通常不仅报告的压力水平较高,而且比男孩更经常感到压力。然而,研究证实,男孩对压力的体验是相同的,这意味着两性同样容易感受到压力。尽管男女青少年似乎以类似的方式体验压力,但他们应对压力的方式可能有所不同。本研究主要关注男生的压力体验以及他们如何应对压力:对瑞典南部四所学校的 39 名 12-19 岁的青少年进行了八次焦点小组讨论。采用传统的内容分析法对数据进行归纳分析:分析结果分为三个类别:压力感知--时间是一个关键因素;确定压力源和压力水平;以及沉默的挣扎和分心。尽管男孩们对压力概念的理解有限,但他们在生活中经历了相当大的压力。他们的应对技巧主要是参加体育运动或分散自己对压力的注意力,而较少依赖来自同龄人、学校教职员工或家人的社会支持:结论:青春期男孩在识别压力和明确表达自己的具体关切方面可能需要帮助。还应为他们提供没有污名化和评判的空间。家长、教师和学校护士应配备适当的工具,并就如何与青春期男孩讨论压力和一般心理健康问题开展教育,以防止对他们的身心健康造成可能的长期负面影响。

Assessing the psychometric properties of the World Health Organization -five well-being index (WHO-5) in Filipino samples amid the COVID-19 pandemic. 在 COVID-19 大流行的菲律宾样本中评估世界卫生组织五项幸福指数(WHO-5)的心理测量特性。
IF 2.7 3区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2024-10-19 DOI: 10.1186/s40359-024-01941-0

Background: The WHO-5 well-being index is a brief rating scale extensively used to evaluate well-being symptoms. Despite the increasing number of studies validating this instrument across different samples from different countries, its psychometric properties remain unexplored in the Philippine context. Bridging this gap, the present study assessed the psychometric properties of the WHO-5 in Filipinos amid the pandemic.

Methods: In study one, exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) was conducted using a sample of Filipinos (N = 2,521) from the general population and a unidimensional model of well-being was extracted. In study two, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to examine the one-factor model in 1,289 Filipino government workers. In study three, nomological validity was examined by performing a mediation analysis using 407 Filipino left-behind emerging adult children with dysfunctionality as mediator, pandemic-related adversities as independent variable, and well-being as the dependent variable.

Results: The results of ESEM and CFA provided support for the WHO-5 one-factor model. Moreover, the negative relationship of well-being to anxiety, depression, and distress lend evidence to the scale's criterion validity. The results of the mediation analysis performed in study three implied that those who experienced pandemic-related adversities tended to have greater dysfunctionality, and in turn, had lower levels of well-being.

Conclusions: Overall, the findings suggest that the WHO-5 well-being index is a psychometrically sound tool for measuring Filipinos' well-being.

背景:WHO-5 幸福指数是一种简短的评分量表,广泛用于评估幸福症状。尽管有越来越多的研究在不同国家的不同样本中验证了这一工具,但其心理测量特性在菲律宾仍未得到探讨。为了填补这一空白,本研究评估了大流行病中菲律宾人的WHO-5心理测量特性:方法:在研究一中,使用菲律宾普通人群样本(2521 人)进行了探索性结构方程建模(ESEM),并提取了幸福感的单维模型。在第二项研究中,对 1289 名菲律宾政府工作人员进行了确证因子分析(CFA),以检验单因子模型。在研究三中,通过对 407 名菲律宾留守新兴成年儿童进行中介分析,以功能失调为中介变量、大流行病相关逆境为自变量、幸福感为因变量,检验了名义有效性:ESEM 和 CFA 的结果支持 WHO-5 单因素模型。此外,幸福感与焦虑、抑郁和痛苦之间的负相关关系也证明了量表的标准有效性。研究三的中介分析结果表明,经历过与大流行病相关的逆境的人往往功能失调程度更高,因此幸福感水平也更低:总之,研究结果表明,WHO-5 幸福指数是衡量菲律宾人幸福感的一种心理测量工具。

Evaluating psychological distress in Chinese patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma planned for radiotherapy: a cross-sectional study using the distress thermometer. 评估计划接受放疗的中国头颈部鳞状细胞癌患者的心理困扰:一项使用困扰温度计的横断面研究。
IF 2.7 3区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY Pub Date : 2024-10-19 DOI: 10.1186/s40359-024-02081-1

Objective: We aim to estimate the prevalence of baseline clinically significant distress in Chinese patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) before receiving the first radiotherapy and assess factors predictive of distress.

Methods: One hundred and sixty-eight patients were enrolled to complete a set of questionnaires including Distress Thermometer (DT) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Of these, 131 questionnaires were available for the final analysis. The accuracy of DT was validated using HADS as the gold standard, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were employed to identify the optimal cutoff score of DT.

Results: Distress was reported in sixty-two patients (47%). Patients who were visited in the last week (p = 0.022) and those with medical-related occupations (p = 0.017) were less likely to suffer from psychological distress. Additionally, religious belief was negatively associated with both the DT and HADS-T scores, indicating that patients with religious beliefs were less likely to report high levels of distress (odds ratio (OR) for DT ≥ 4 = 0.291, p = 0.039; OR for HADS-T ≥ 15 = 0.316, p = 0.047). Factors such as age, gender, marital status, education and residency did not contribute to distress levels. DT was significantly correlated with HADS-T (Correlation coefficient (r) = 0.624, p < 0.001) and the best cutoff score of DT was 4 in screening distress.

Conclusions: DT was a brief and effective tool to screen distress among HNSCC patients.

目的我们旨在估算中国头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)患者在接受首次放疗前的基线临床明显痛苦的发生率,并评估预测痛苦的因素:方法: 168 名患者入选并填写了一套问卷,包括 "痛苦温度计"(DT)和 "医院焦虑抑郁量表"(HADS)。其中 131 份问卷可用于最终分析。以 HADS 为金标准验证了 DT 的准确性,并利用接收器操作特征曲线(ROC)确定了 DT 的最佳临界值:六十二名患者(47%)报告了窘迫感。上周就诊的患者(p = 0.022)和从事医疗相关职业的患者(p = 0.017)较少出现心理困扰。此外,宗教信仰与 DT 和 HADS-T 评分均呈负相关,表明有宗教信仰的患者不太可能报告高水平的痛苦(DT ≥ 4 的比值比 (OR) = 0.291,p = 0.039;HADS-T ≥ 15 的比值比 (OR) = 0.316,p = 0.047)。年龄、性别、婚姻状况、教育程度和居住地等因素对痛苦程度没有影响。DT 与 HADS-T 有明显的相关性(相关系数 (r) = 0.624,p 结论:DT 是一种简短有效的工具:DT 是筛查 HNSCC 患者痛苦的简短而有效的工具。

Background: The current study examined the psychometric properties of an Arabic translation of the Adolescent Distress-Eustress Scale (ADES) in Saudi Arabia. It assessed the factorial structure through a confirmatory factor analysis, composite reliability through Cronbach alpha and McDonald's omega scores, gender invariance, and convergent validity through its correlation to resilience.

Methods: A total of 505 high school students from 21 randomly selected schools in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (mean age of 16.66 ± 1.10 years, 52.7% females) participated in the study. The questionnaires were translated using the forward and backward technique.

Results: Findings revealed good internal consistency of the Arabic ADES (McDonald's ω being 0.82 for distress and 0.79 for eustress). Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the two-factor structure of the scale and demonstrated measurement invariance across gender at the configural, metric, and scalar levels. Girls had higher Distress scores, while boys reported higher eustress scores, which was consistent with previous studies. Finally, the ADES distress and eustress scales were significantly correlated to resilience supporting convergent validity.

Conclusion: The present study supports the reliability and validity of the Arabic version of the ADES as a self-report method to assess Eustress and Distress in adolescents. Pending further validations to support the present findings, this measure can be utilized by schools, mental health providers, and researchers to support Arabic speaking adolescents globally.

研究背景本研究考察了沙特阿拉伯青少年压力-烦恼量表(ADES)阿拉伯语译本的心理测量特性。研究通过确认性因子分析评估了该量表的因子结构,通过克朗巴赫α和麦当劳Ω分数评估了该量表的综合信度、性别不变性,并通过该量表与复原力的相关性评估了该量表的收敛效度:沙特阿拉伯吉达市随机抽取的 21 所学校的 505 名高中生(平均年龄为 16.66±1.10 岁,女性占 52.7%)参与了研究。问卷采用正反向技术进行翻译:研究结果表明,阿拉伯语 ADES 具有良好的内部一致性(麦当劳苦恼ω值为 0.82,优越感为 0.79)。确认性因素分析证实了量表的双因素结构,并在构型、度量和标度层面上证明了不同性别间的测量不变性。女生的苦恼得分较高,而男生的舒畅得分较高,这与之前的研究结果一致。最后,ADES苦恼和舒畅量表与复原力有显著相关性,支持其收敛有效性:本研究证实了阿拉伯语版 ADES 作为一种自我报告方法来评估青少年的快感和压力的可靠性和有效性。在进一步验证本研究结果之前,学校、心理健康服务提供者和研究人员可以利用这一方法为全球讲阿拉伯语的青少年提供支持。

Background: This study explored the relationship between attention, negative emotions, empathy, mindfulness, and psychological trauma in catastrophic events to reduce psychological trauma in the public.

Methods: A total of 526 adults in Guangxi Province, China, were investigated using self-rating scales for post-traumatic stress disorder, emotion, and empathy, as well as a five-factor self-rating mindfulness scale and a catastrophic incident concern questionnaire.

Results: The results revealed the following: (1) Emotion significantly mediated attention and psychological trauma. (2) Empathy had a significant mediating effect on attention and psychological trauma. (3) Mindfulness moderated the relationship between negative emotions and psychological trauma, amplifying the impact of emotions on trauma rather than buffering it.

Conclusions: When people pay attention to catastrophic events, they should remain sensible and restrained, and avoid excessive emotional involvement to reduce the excessive psychological trauma caused by the event.

Mathematical ability is influenced by genes and environment. This study focused on the effect of DRD2, a candidate gene for working memory, on mathematical ability. The results in child participants revealed associations between the DRD2 gene and mathematical ability. It was found that individual's mathematical ability was influenced by Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in DRD2, both in the form of haplotypes and in the way of interaction with parental education. These findings suggest that dopaminergic genes are linked to mathematical ability. This study provides evidence for the genetic basis of mathematical ability and offers guidance for personalized intervention in mathematical education.

Backgrounds: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ).

Methods: A total of 340 adult participants who had been working for at least 8 h a day completed the study questionnaire online. The questionnaire consisted of sections on demographics and socioeconomic characteristics, the IWPQ, and the ultrashortened version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-3). Principal component analysis (PCA) with Promax rotation was conducted to assess the e three-factor structure for the Turkish version of the IWPQ. Cronbach's alpha was used to determine internal consistency. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess test-retest reliability. Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated between the IWPQ and UWES-3 scales to evaluate convergent validity.

Results: The three factors accounted for a total variance ratio of 60.7%. Cronbach's alphas of three subscales (task performance, contextual performance, and counterproductive work behavior) were 0.894, 0.875, and 0.796, respectively. Test-retest reliability showed high agreement, with ICCs of 0.96, 0.98, and 0.91 for the respective scales. There was a statistically significant correlation between UWES-3 and the task performance subscale (ρ = 0.367 and p < 0.001), a statistically significant correlation between UWES-3 and the contextual performance subscale (ρ = 0.403 and p < 0.001), and a statistically significant correlation between UWES-3 and the CWB subscale (ρ=-0.352 and p < 0.001).

Conclusions: The Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ) identifies work performance.The Turkish version of the IWPQ scales demonstrated validity and reliability in assessing individual work performance.

背景:本研究旨在评估土耳其版个人工作绩效问卷(IWPQ)的有效性和可靠性:本研究旨在评估土耳其版个人工作绩效问卷(IWPQ)的有效性和可靠性:共有 340 名每天工作至少 8 小时的成年参与者在线填写了研究问卷。问卷内容包括人口统计学和社会经济特征、IWPQ 和乌特勒支工作参与量表(UWES-3)的超简缩版。采用 Promax 旋转法进行了主成分分析(PCA),以评估土耳其版 IWPQ 的三因素结构。Cronbach's alpha 用于确定内部一致性。类内相关系数(ICC)用于评估测试-再测可靠性。计算了 IWPQ 和 UWES-3 量表之间的斯皮尔曼相关系数,以评估收敛效度:结果:三个因子的总方差比为 60.7%。三个分量表(任务绩效、情境绩效和反工作行为)的 Cronbach's alphas 分别为 0.894、0.875 和 0.796。测试-重测信度显示出很高的一致性,各量表的 ICC 分别为 0.96、0.98 和 0.91。UWES-3 与任务绩效分量表之间存在统计学意义上的显著相关性(ρ = 0.367,p 结论):个人工作绩效问卷(IWPQ)可确定工作绩效。土耳其版 IWPQ 量表在评估个人工作绩效方面具有有效性和可靠性。

Background: Prior research has found that children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and reading difficulties (RD) are at an elevated risk of developing further cognitive deficits and developmental challenges [1]. ADHD and RD are characterized by a deficit in working memory, which negatively affects learning and behavior. The main aims of this study were to design a working memory training app and examine its effectiveness through a 5-week training program in Chinese children with ADHD and/or RD.

Methods: There were three experimental groups, with 26 participants in the ADHD group, 38 participants in the RD group, and 24 participants in the ADHD + RD group. The typically developing (TD) control group had 32 participants. All participants completed the pretest and posttest assessments on executive function and reading performance.

Results: The findings indicate that the experimental groups improved performance in verbal and visual-spatial working memory as well as Chinese word reading. There was an overall reduction in functional impairment following the training, in contrast to the TD group.

Conclusion: This study showed that working memory can be improved through computerized training in children with ADHD and/or RD. The implications of future research in working memory are discussed.

Trial registration: Clinical Trials Identifier: NCT06567444 (retrospectively registered) on 20 August 2024.
