Autistic people face both similar challenges to non-autistic people as they navigate menopause and additional unique challenges. Semi-structured interviews with 15 autistic and 14 non-autistic adults (assigned female at birth), explored experiences of menopause. Thematic analysis was carried out for the autistic and non-autistic groups separately. Analysis yielded four overarching themes: information about menopause, experiences of menopause, medical support for menopause and backdrop to the menopause. Each of these contained subthemes which indicated both shared and unique experiences between the groups. Both groups reported a lack of information about menopause, endured negative psychological changes during menopause and experienced menopause alongside other important life events. Autistic people faced unique challenges during menopause, including medical professionals not accommodating autistic differences, uncertainty-induced anxiety and the lifelong impact of living without an autism diagnosis. This study highlights the need for tailored care for this group during the menopause transition.

This study evaluates the psychometric properties of the Vietnamese version of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI-V) and examines factors associated with burnout among community pharmacists in Thua Thien Hue, Vietnam. A cross-sectional, interview-based study was conducted in Hue City from January to June 2023, involving 362 pharmacists. The following measurement properties of CBI-V were tested: distributional characteristics, structural validity (principal component and confirmatory factor analyses), internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega), known-groups validity (Mann-Whitney U or Kruskal-Wallis H test). The CBI-V demonstrated good internal consistency, with Cronbach's α and McDonald's Omega coefficients ranging from 0.867 to 0.904. The 19-item, three-factor model showed a good fit, supported by Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measures. CPs working in hospital retail settings, experiencing higher job satisfaction, and having a better grasp of accurate drug information sources were associated with higher burnout scores (p<0.05). This psychometric assessment study in community pharmacists concludes that the CBI-V is a reliable tool for assessing burnout, providing insights for public health interventions in healthcare digital transformation.

Conflicting health messages negatively impact trust. Breast cancer screening (BCS) is one area of healthcare where conflicting messages are common. We examined whether women's healthcare system trust was impacted after exposure to information about harms and benefits of BCS. We enrolled 497 women into this study. Participants were administered a decision aid (DA) containing information about the harms and benefits of BCS and reported their healthcare system trust pre- and post-DA exposure. We observed a significant decrease in healthcare system trust from pre- to post-DA. This decrease in trust was associated with participants' perception that the message conflicted with their previously held beliefs and not the reactions it elicited. When people receive information about BCS that conflicts with past health messages, they may lose trust in the healthcare system. This underscores the importance of adopting consistent messages about BCS.

Children and young people (CYP) with long-term health conditions (LTC) are at higher risk of developing mental health difficulties. Research suggests nature-based therapeutic interventions (NBTIs) may benefit CYP's wellbeing, but less is known about the impact on CYP with LTC. This study's objective was to explore how CYP with LTC and associated psychological difficulties experienced a NBTI and the impact on their wellbeing. Ten participants aged 10-13 attended a NBTI and took part in semi-structured interviews that explored how they made sense of their journey through the intervention, its impact on mental, physical wellbeing and sense of self. An interpretative phenomenological analysis of the interview data yielded four group experiential themes: 'Overcoming Illness-Identity', 'Freedom to Choose', 'Sense of Connection' and 'A Mindful Presence'. Participants reported improved self-esteem, a deepened sense of belonging with peers and nature, and enhanced emotion regulation. Clinical implications and directions for future research are discussed.

Framing public-health behaviors as benefiting others, rather than the self, can increase behavior uptake in adults. However, there are mixed results on the effects of such messaging in a vaccination context, and it is unclear how children reason about the social and moral implications of vaccination. In this study, we present school-aged children (N = 60) with hypothetical vaccine-like behaviors and manipulate whether they benefit the self or others, and whether they prevent low or high severity harm. We find that children readily endorse these behaviors when they prevent high severity harm, and that the beneficiary of the behavior does not impact children's endorsement. Younger children thought vaccine-like behaviors were morally important regardless of who they protected; However, as children get older, they thought about the vaccine-like behaviors in moral terms when they protected others. We discuss potential implications for how communications about vaccination may impact children's reasoning about others.

This study was planned to determine the relationship between hedonic hunger, social media addiction and body mass index (BMI) in adolescents. The study was conducted with 720 adolescents receiving education in high schools. Data was collected online using the Children's Power of Food Scale (CPFS) and Social Media Addiction Scale (SMAS). Mean, percentage, t-test, ANOVA and regression analysis were used to analyse data. In the study, it was found that social media addiction explained 16.4% of the variance in hedonic hunger and had a significant impact (F = 140.433, p ≤ 0.001). When the BMI variable was added to the model in the second step (Model II), it was determined that social media addiction and BMI significantly predicted CPFS scores (F = 81.839, p ≤ 0.001) and explained 18.6% of the variance. The study results revealed that social media addiction and BMI significantly predict hedonic hunger in adolescents.

The present study assessed the links between interoceptive sensibility, binge, disordered (emotional, restrained, and external) and intuitive eating among individuals with obesity (n = 57) and normal weight (n = 29). Individuals with obesity presented lower "attention regulation," "body-listening," and "trusting" interoceptive dimensions. When age was controlled, group differences on "trusting" remained significant. Individuals with obesity showed lower intuitive eating, higher emotional, and binge eating compared to controls. Higher "body listening," "eating for physical rather than emotional reasons," and "reliance on hunger and satiety cues" predicted lower binge eating whereas "external eating" predicted higher binge eating among individuals with obesity. Eating for physical reasons and reliance on hunger and satiety had protective mediating roles in the relationship between external and binge eating in both groups. Interoceptive sensibility and intuitive eating should conjointly serve as psychotherapeutic targets for disordered eating, obesity, and weight management.

Given the unpleasant nature of social isolation and loneliness (SIL) and their negative effects on health and wellbeing, interventions are needed. However, persistent issues in the design, evaluation, and reporting of SIL interventions preclude conclusive evidence and commentary on the effectiveness of SIL interventions. Here, we propose guidelines for evaluating SIL interventions, firstly by operationalising them into two categories: (1) interventions aiming to reduce SIL as a primary outcome and (2) interventions aiming to improve non-SIL outcomes in the lives of individuals experiencing SIL. Secondly, we evaluate instruments for measuring SIL and research designs for studying intervention effectiveness. Thirdly, guidelines for reporting information about the intervention, study design, results, and discussion in SIL intervention studies are presented. These guidelines will help researchers to better and more consistently report on SIL interventions and improve comparability of SIL interventions, ultimately contributing to the improvement of interventions and to the mitigation of SIL.
鉴于社会隔离和孤独(SIL)令人不快的性质及其对健康和幸福的负面影响,需要采取干预措施。然而,在社会隔离和孤独干预措施的设计、评估和报告方面一直存在问题,导致无法获得有关社会隔离和孤独干预措施有效性的确凿证据和评论。在此,我们提出了评估 SIL 干预措施的指导方针,首先将其分为两类:(1) 以减少 SIL 为主要目标的干预措施;(2) 以改善 SIL 患者生活中的非 SIL 结果为目标的干预措施。其次,我们评估了测量 SIL 的工具和研究干预效果的研究设计。第三,我们介绍了在 SIL 干预研究中报告有关干预、研究设计、结果和讨论信息的指南。这些指导原则将有助于研究人员更好、更一致地报告 SIL 干预措施,提高 SIL 干预措施的可比性,最终有助于改进干预措施和减轻 SIL 的影响。

Chronic health conditions affect many individuals of working age, who cope with physical, psychological, and social difficulties that often involve limited work ability. This qualitative study explored experiences of self-employed individuals with chronic health conditions to advance our understanding of the effect of chronic illness on work. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 self-employed individuals coping with cancer, heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, lung disease, or asthma. Data were analyzed with thematic analysis. Analysis of the interviews revealed four themes: uncertainty in planning work and committing to customers, acceptance versus denial of reduced work abilities, disclosure of health status to workers and customers, and temporal substitutes as a source of both support and concern. The results indicate that self-employed workers with a chronic health condition cope with unique challenges due to the need to sustain their business in the face of illness and a sense of sole responsibility.

With technological progress, the use of the internet and smartphones has become an inseparable part of our lives and their use is increasing. The uncontrolled use of both the internet and smartphones is defined as problematic use. This study examined the effects of problematic internet and smartphone use on dietary behaviors and abnormal body weight status in young adults. Participants were 560 university students. Participants completed measures of demographics, dietary behaviors, internet and smartphone usage habits, Young's Internet Addiction Test and Smartphone Addiction Scale. Negative associations were found between dietary behaviors and problematic internet and smartphone use. Significant inverse associations were also found between these uses and recommended consumption levels of several food groups. For a healthy future generation, it is recommended that policies be developed to prevent or manage these problematic uses, especially in young adults with negative dietary behaviors and abnormal body weight.
