The demands of motherhood have been shown to negatively impact physical activity (PA) engagement. Participants in a larger PA-based study in British Columbia, Canada were invited to participate in this sub study. Forty-eight photos and descriptions were provided by 9 participants with infants 3-7 months of age. Photos depicted challenges with PA, PA self-efficacy, body image and self-compassion in motherhood. We noted four themes that reflected the complex and gendered nature of postpartum PA engagement. First, gendered expectations of motherhood placed demands on time and space for PA engagement. Second, how mothers felt about their bodies both positively and negatively impacted their sense of self and PA engagement. Third, moments of self-compassion illustrated how navigating feelings of self-compassion about PA was messy. Fourth, PA self-efficacy was essential and required reimagining PA within the constraints of motherhood. In conclusion, PA postpartum is complex and impacted by broader concepts related to the expected duties of motherhood.
事实证明,母亲的需求会对参与体育锻炼(PA)产生负面影响。在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省进行的一项规模更大的基于 PA 的研究邀请参与者参与了这项子研究。9 名参与者提供了 48 张照片和描述,照片中的婴儿年龄为 3-7 个月。照片描述了母亲在 PA、PA 自我效能感、身体形象和自我同情方面所面临的挑战。我们注意到有四个主题反映了产后 PA 参与的复杂性和性别性。首先,对母亲的性别期望对参与 PA 的时间和空间提出了要求。其次,母亲对自己身体的感觉对她们的自我意识和参与 PA 有积极和消极的影响。第三,自我同情的时刻说明了如何驾驭自我同情的 PA 感觉是混乱的。第四,PA 自我效能感至关重要,需要在母亲身份的限制下重新认识 PA。总之,产后 PA 是复杂的,受到与预期的母亲职责相关的更广泛概念的影响。

As most women now reaching the age for cervical cancer screening (24.5 years old) in the UK will be HPV vaccinated, their current perspectives on screening can inform effective interventions to increase screening uptake (and thus, early detection). Twenty-four interviews were conducted with women aged 24-30 years old to explore their views on cervical cancer screening (n = 12 attendees and n = 12 non-attendees). Reflexive thematic analysis generated six themes that were then mapped onto the COM-B model. Reflective motivations (e.g. reassurance) were key facilitators to screening attendance for both groups. Social opportunities (e.g. open communication) contrasted between the groups, with attendees more likely to have discussed screening with friends. Automatic motivations (e.g. embarrassment) were key barriers to attending screening in both groups. Notably, HPV vaccination did not factor into the decision to attend screening. Interventions to increase screening uptake may target motivational and social factors.

Fatalism is one of the variables associated with disease management. This descriptive-correlational study aimed to determine the level of fatalism in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and its relationship with diabetes self-management and perception of risk to maternal and fetal health in pregnancy. The study included 531 pregnant women. The data were collected using a pregnancy information form, the Fatalism Scale, the Perception of Pregnancy Risk Questionnaire, and the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire. Fatalism explained 25% of the total variance on risk perception in pregnancy and 7% of the total variance on diabetes self-management. Fatalism had a fully mediating role in the effect of risk perception in pregnancy on diabetes self-management. It is important for health professionals to evaluate the effects of women's perceptions of fatalism on their health behaviors in order to maintain a healthy pregnancy process.

Large-scale events like natural disasters and epidemics can have significant impacts on individuals' mental health worldwide. Thus, it is crucial to examine the psychological effects of such events on people. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-compassion, death distress, doomscrolling, and resilience, among individuals affected by earthquakes. A total of 364 Turkish adults affected by the earthquakes that occurred in Türkiye on February 6, 2023, participated in the study. Structural equation modeling was utilized to explore the mediating roles of doomscrolling and resilience in the association between self-compassion and death distress. The results of the structural equation modeling indicated that both doomscrolling and resilience mediated the relationship between self-compassion and death distress in earthquake-affected individuals. These findings contribute to understanding the interplay between self-compassion, death distress, doomscrolling, and resilience in the context of earthquakes and are expected to inform future research endeavors.

Nudging is a subtle behavioral intervention that has been successful in various domains such as healthy eating and energy conservation, yet its application in mental health remains underexplored. This study examines the effect of nudging to increase engagement with online mental health resources in a university setting. We assigned 2539 first-year undergraduate and graduate students in China to either a nudging group, which received course information augmented with behavioral cues (including framing effects and social norms), or a control group, which received only basic course information. Outcomes measured included self-reported willingness to enroll, willingness to recommend enrollment, and actual enrollment actions. Results indicated that students in the nudging group demonstrated significantly higher engagement levels than those in the control group across all metrics. These findings suggest the potential of nudging strategies to effectively enhance college students' participation in online mental health education.

Although insomnia symptoms is a common public health issue, few studies pay attention to insomnia symptoms among emerging workers in the digital economy. In this study, a total of 1093 emerging workers were recruited. Latent profile analysis was used to investigate the heterogeneity profiles and the relationship between job characteristics and these profiles. Additionally, core symptoms of insomnia were explored through network analysis. Latent profile analysis identified four insomnia profiles: severe insomnia without daytime dysfunction (8.8%), good sleepers (39.6%), mild insomnia (41.7%), and moderate to severe insomnia (9.9%). Job characteristics (e.g. daily working duration, intensity, and performance measurement system) significantly affected the profiles. Network analysis revealed that four profiles had similar network structures, but the edge and strength were varied. The implication for preventing and intervening insomnia symptoms for emerging workers in the digital economy has been discussed.

The study was conducted during the first 8 months of the Russo-Ukrainian war, investigating an interplay of resilience, coping strategies and perceived stress in Ukrainians of various age groups, war experiences and displacement statuses. The study was conducted on the sample of 18-76-year-old Ukrainians (n = 337) using the COPE, CD-RISC-10 and PSS-14 scales. It aimed to understand how Ukrainians cope with war-stressors and stay resilient. Data analyses, including Bayesian ANOVA, independent samples t-tests, linear regressions and bivariate correlation, were conducted using JASP and IBM SPSS-23. The results of the quantitative study showed that Ukrainians attributed their resilience to perceived self-efficacy, regulating emotions and flexibility. It was also found that the pattern of most and least preferred coping strategies was relatively consistent across all the sample subgroups. Thus, to cope with war, Ukrainians relied on 'planning', 'positive interpretation and growth', 'acceptance' and 'active coping' and refrained from 'behavioural disengagement', 'denial' and 'substance use'. It was concluded that coping strategies may be significant predictors of Ukrainians' resilience.

Parents of children facing cancer are subject to psychological distress. In this study, we explored whether the time that had passed since a child's cancer diagnosis was associated with parents' distress levels and whether parental sense of competence (PSOC) moderated this association. Forty-four parents of children with cancer who were hospitalized during 2022 participated. Parents completed questionnaires and provided hair samples for the examination of hair cortisol concentration (HCC). Correlations indicated no significant association between time since diagnosis and distress indices. Yet, linear regression analysis revealed that PSOC moderated the association between time since diagnosis and parental HCC (β = -0.36, p < 0.05). For parents with low PSOC, time since diagnosis did not predict parental HCC. For parents with high PSOC, a longer time since diagnosis was associated with lower levels of parental HCC. Our results provide support for the clinical significance of PSOC as a target for intervention.

The aim of this study was to develop an in-depth understanding of the beliefs parents hold regarding portable pool safety behaviours using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents ( N = 15) of children aged 5 years and younger who owned a portable pool. Interviews examined three key safety behaviours: supervising within arms’ reach, fencing portable pools deeper than 30 cm, and emptying and storing portable pools safely after use. Parents identified a range of advantages, disadvantages, normative influences, and facilitators and barriers towards the three behaviours. The identification of these salient behavioural, normative, and control beliefs enrich limited understandings of portable pool safety behaviours of parents with young children. Current findings fill a knowledge gap in portable pool safety and provide potential targets for messages to improve parents’ behaviours for their young children around portable pools in the hope of preventing loss of life.

This study examines whether adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) predict long-term health issues and how ACEs, alongside stress, impact well-being and cognitive abilities in older adults. 279 adults were categorized into three age groups (30-46, 47-60, and 61-80). Participants completed an online survey assessing health problems, stress, resilience, and ACEs. Additionally, 32 older adults underwent cognitive tests. ACE scores predicted physical and psychological diseases in adults but not in older adults. However, a significant correlation between ACEs and cognitive abilities was evident in older participants. ACEs are significant indicators of long-term health issues and stress in adults but may not predict these factors in older individuals. Understanding ACEs' impact on cognitive abilities in older adults is crucial for tailored interventions and support.
