Background
Posttraumatic growth (PTG) is associated with two important cognitive factors: challenge to core beliefs and event-related rumination. The objectives of this study were to 1) validate the French versions of the Core Beliefs Inventory (CBI, Cann et al., 2010) and the Event-Related Rumination Inventory (ERRI, Cann et al., 2011) and 2) explore direct and indirect effects of core beliefs and rumination on PTG in the long-term.
Methods
A sample of adults (N = 433 at T1, N = 222 at T2, six months later) who had experienced at least one traumatic event in their lifetime completed online questionnaires measuring core beliefs, rumination, distress, and PTG. Confirmatory factor analyses, correlations, and structural equation modeling were performed.
Results
Analyses supported a two-factor structure for the CBI: (1) beliefs about justice, control, and the causality of events and (2) beliefs about relationships, self, and the future; as well as for the ERRI: (1) intrusive rumination and (2) deliberate rumination. Both scales showed good psychometric qualities. Disruption of beliefs about relationships, self, and the future at T1 and deliberate rumination at T2 had a direct positive effect on PTG at T2, while intrusive rumination at T1 had no effect. Deliberate rumination mediated both the relationship between disruption of core beliefs and PTG and the relationship between intrusive rumination and PTG.
Conclusions
The results demonstrate the validity of the CBI and ERRI and are consistent with the theoretical model emphasizing the importance of cognitive processing in the development of PTG.
创伤后成长(PTG)与两个重要的认知因素有关:对核心信念的挑战和与事件相关的反刍。本研究的目的是:1)验证法语版本的核心信念量表(CBI, Cann et al., 2010)和事件相关反刍量表(ERRI, Cann et al., 2011); 2)探索核心信念和反刍对PTG的长期直接和间接影响。方法对至少经历过一次创伤事件的成年人(T1时为433人,T2时为222人,6个月后为222人)进行在线问卷调查,测量核心信念、反刍、痛苦和PTG。验证性因素分析,相关性和结构方程建模进行。结果分析支持CBI的双因素结构:(1)关于正义、控制和事件因果关系的信念;(2)关于关系、自我和未来的信念;以及ERRI:(1)侵入性反刍和(2)故意反刍。两种量表均表现出良好的心理测量质量。T1阶段的人际关系、自我和未来信念的破坏和T2阶段的刻意反刍对T2阶段的PTG有直接的积极影响,而T1阶段的侵入性反刍对PTG没有影响。刻意反刍在核心信念破坏与PTG的关系和侵入性反刍与PTG的关系中起中介作用。结论CBI和ERRI测试的有效性与强调认知加工在PTG发展中的重要性的理论模型一致。

Background
Limited evidence on antidepressant effectiveness in pregnant women with eating disorders (ED) challenges pharmacotherapy management. We examined antenatal depressive and anxiety symptoms with continued antidepressant use in women with ED.
Methods
We used data from the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) linked to the Medical Birth Registry of Norway and MoBa Genetics. MoBa questionnaires at weeks 17 (early) and 30 (mid-late pregnancy) measured antidepressant exposure and symptoms of depression and anxiety using the 5-item Hopkins Symptom Checklist. We fitted generalised linear models and adjusted for confounding. In a subsample, we stratified analyses by polygenic-score tertiles for antidepressant response.
Results
We identified 5920 pregnancies in women with ED, mainly binge-eating disorder (BED) (84.0 %) and bulimia nervosa (BN) (12.4 %). Of these, 48 (0.8 %) continued antidepressants into early pregnancy, 93 (1.6 %) discontinued during, and 85 (1.4 %) discontinued before pregnancy. At early pregnancy only, continued antidepressant was associated with lower severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms relative to discontinuation. Among women with BED, this was specific to lower anxiety symptoms (β:-0.43, 95 %CI:-0.84, -0.02). This association was not observed in women with BN. In women with higher antidepressant-response polygenic-score continued antidepressant was associated with lower symptom severity relative to discontinued (range of β:-0.86 to -1.35).
Conclusions
Continuing antidepressants in early but not mid-late pregnancy is associated with lower severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms in women with BED. The association observed in women with higher antidepressant-response polygenic-score calls for larger studies on personalized treatment in perinatal ED.

Teachers are a high-risk group of work-related stress which can negatively impact their mental health. There is limited data on teachers’ mental health in Cameroon. We aimed at determining the prevalence and associated factors of common mental health indicators among primary, secondary and higher institution teachers in the Douala III Municipality.
Methods
This school-based cross-sectional study involved 367 teachers age 20-67 enrolled November 2022 to June 2023. Structured and standard questionnaires of MBI-ES, GHQ-12, GAD-7 and PHQ-9 were used to measure mental health status of teachers. Job-related factors were categorized and scores compared using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests where appropriate. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated.
Results
In our sample, 64% had burnout syndrome (BS), 34.9% emotional exhaustion (EE), 9% depersonalization (DP), 39.2% reduced personal accomplishment (PA), 93.5% psychological distress (PD), 28.4% anxiety and 28.8% depressive symptoms. Primary and secondary school teachers were more burdened; EE (H = 19.27, P < 0.001), anxiety (H = 13.69, P = 0.001), poor job perception (p < 0.05) than higher institution teachers. Females were more anxious (W = 14354.5, P = 0.036). Poor job, interpersonal and social perceptions were independently associated with mental health indicators indicating work influence.
Conclusions
BS, PD, anxiety and depression are high among teachers in the Douala III Municipality. Poor job, interpersonal and social perceptions negatively affect their mental health especially primary and secondary school teachers. Causal studies and intervention strategies by stakeholders become imperative to ameliorate teachers’ mental health and productivity.

Background
While there have been several studies investigating pareidolia in several patient populations, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and Alzheimer’s disease, to our knowledge, no study has investigated pareidolia in patients with major depressive disorder. In the current study, we, for the first time, study pareidolia in patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder.
Methods
We have recruited 75 drug-naïve patients (i.e., to minimise side effects of antidepressants) diagnosed with major depressive disorder and anxiety. We have used the following measures: demographic scale, the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), and the novel Noise Pareidolia Task (NPT-20).
Results
Results show that higher depression was associated with a lower capacity to distinguish noise from faces. Higher depression was also associated with a greater probability of seeing faces when they are not there (i.e., face pareidolia). Surprisingly, we did not find any relations between anxiety and pareidolia.
Discussion
Our results suggest that pareidolia is a common phenomenon in several patient populations and should be investigated in clinical settings in relation to visual hallucinations.

Offspring of depressed parents are at high risk for mental health problems. Nevertheless, some of them do not develop mental health difficulties or do so only temporarily, implying that certain modifiable protective factors could buffer parental-depression-related effects. This systematic review aimed to 1) review the evidence for protective factors enhancing mental health resilience in the offspring of depressed parents; 2) identify outcome-, developmental-stage, and sex-specific protective factors; and 3) summarise conceptual and operational definitions of mental health resilience. We searched PsycINFO, Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science Core Collection, and Cochrane Library in March 2021. Two reviewers blinded to each other’s decisions independently screened abstracts and full texts against pre-determined eligibility criteria, extracted data, and performed risk of bias assessments. Sixty studies (N = 52,966 offspring) examining 70 protective factors were included. Most studies were from high-earning countries (97 %), defined resilience as the absence of psychopathology (90 %), and considered protective factors before young adulthood (97 %) - the peak age for common mental health problems. Most protective factors were examined in only one study (56 %). We observed limited evidence for 10 demographic, parenting, individual, and social protective factors, of which parent-child relationships, co-parent support, and parental positivity were supported across mental health outcomes, and parental positivity was supported across developmental stages. Findings for sex-specific protective factors were inconsistent. Future studies should build further evidence for the protective factors examined and investigate if these associations are causal.
抑郁父母的后代患精神健康问题的风险很高。然而,他们中的一些人没有出现精神健康问题,或者只是暂时出现,这意味着某些可改变的保护因素可以缓冲父母抑郁相关的影响。本系统综述旨在:1)回顾保护因素对抑郁症父母子女心理健康弹性增强的证据;2)确定结局、发育阶段和性别特异性的保护因素;3)总结心理健康弹性的概念和操作定义。我们在2021年3月检索了PsycINFO、Embase、MEDLINE、Web of Science Core Collection和Cochrane Library。两名审稿人对彼此的决定不知情,根据预先确定的资格标准独立筛选摘要和全文,提取数据,并进行偏倚风险评估。60项研究(N = 52966个后代)检查了70个保护因素。大多数研究来自高收入国家(97%),将恢复力定义为没有精神病理(90%),并在年轻成年(97%)之前考虑保护因素——这是常见心理健康问题的高峰年龄。大多数保护性因素仅在一项研究中被检测(56%)。我们观察到10个人口统计学、养育、个人和社会保护因素的有限证据,其中亲子关系、共同父母支持和父母积极性在心理健康结果中得到支持,父母积极性在发展阶段得到支持。性别特异性保护因素的研究结果不一致。未来的研究应该为所检查的保护因素建立进一步的证据,并调查这些关联是否有因果关系。

Depression incidence and lifestyle factors, especially breakfast consumption, are associated with both mental and physical well-being among medical students. To promote the well-being of medical students, the relationship between depression levels and skipping breakfast was investigated in 1st- to 6th-year medical students.
Methods
Our cross-sectional study was conducted between June and October 2023. We assessed breakfast quality and skipping breakfast using a questionnaire of breakfast behaviour and the Thai versions of both the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Multiple and ordinal logistic regression analyses were performed to identify significant factors related to depression and skipping breakfast.
Results
In this study, participants were medical students (n = 256), among which 39.8 % were male and 60.2 % female; the prevalence of depression and skipping breakfast was 12.11 % and 72.27 %, respectively. Skipping breakfast was significantly associated with breakfast quality (p-value < 0.001), but not depression levels. Older students (OR = 1.19, 95 % CI [1.02, 1.39], p-value < 0.026); poor quality of breakfast (OR = 3.04, 95 % CI [1.66, 5.58], p-value < 0.001); and not living at home were significantly linked to skipping breakfast. Depression levels were associated with being female, poor sleep quality, family history of psychological disorders, and living in dormitories. However, age was found to be a significant protective factor against depression.
Conclusions
Breakfast quality, sleep quality, current accommodation, and family history of psychological disorders should be considered to promote the improvement of medical students’ mental health.
医学生的抑郁发生率和生活方式因素,尤其是早餐消费,与心理和身体健康都有关系。为了提高医学生的幸福感,本研究以一至六年级医学生为研究对象,调查抑郁水平与不吃早餐的关系。方法于2023年6月- 10月进行横断面研究。我们使用早餐行为问卷和泰国版的9项患者健康问卷和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数来评估早餐质量和不吃早餐。采用多元和有序logistic回归分析确定抑郁与不吃早餐相关的显著因素。结果研究对象为医学生256人,其中男性占39.8%,女性占60.2%;抑郁和不吃早餐的患病率分别为12.11%和72.27%。不吃早餐与早餐质量显著相关(p值<; 0.001),但与抑郁水平无关。大龄学生(OR = 1.19, 95% CI [1.02, 1.39], p值<; 0.026);早餐质量差(OR = 3.04, 95% CI [1.66, 5.58], p值<; 0.001);不住在家里与不吃早餐有很大关系。抑郁程度与女性、睡眠质量差、心理障碍家族史和住在宿舍有关。然而,年龄被发现是防止抑郁的重要保护因素。结论应综合考虑早餐质量、睡眠质量、当前住宿、心理障碍家族史等因素,促进医学生心理健康状况的改善。

Background
People living with HIV (PLWH) face a higher risk of suicide compared to the general population. Understanding the incidence and characteristics of suicide in this population is essential to design effective prevention strategies.
Objective
This study aimed to estimate the incidence rate of suicide among PLWH in Spain and to describe the demographic, clinical, and treatment-related profiles of affected individuals.
Methods
A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the CoRIS cohort, including 19,352 PLWH followed from January 2004 to December 2022. Sociodemographic, clinical, and virological data were analyzed, and suicide incidence rates were calculated per 100,000 person-years.
Results
Over 134,375 person-years, 22 suicides were recorded, corresponding to an incidence rate of 16.37 per 100,000 person-years (95 % CI: 10.26-24.79). Most cases (90.9 %) occurred in men, with a mean age of 37.7 years. A higher proportion of injection drug use (18.2 % vs. 6.4 %) and psychiatric non-AIDS events, including depression and previous suicide attempts, were noted among suicide cases. The suicide incidence rate decreased significantly after 2015, coinciding with the broader use of integrase inhibitors.
Conclusion
The suicide incidence rate among PLWH in Spain has declined in recent years, approaching levels observed in the general population. However, targeted interventions are needed to address mental health challenges and enhance support for vulnerable individuals within this population.

Adolescents, particularly vulnerable to pathological Internet use (PIU), may experience reduced academic self-efficacy as their ability to manage academic challenges and derive meaning in life is compromised. This study investigates how PIU (excessive and compulsive online behavior impairing functioning) affects academic self-efficacy in adolescents, exploring the mediating role of meaning in life (a sense of purpose and coherence) and the moderating influence of coping styles. A total of 6445 Chinese senior high school students (Mage = 15.24, SD = 1.44) participated, a population experiencing unique academic and digital pressures that may amplify the effects of PIU. Structural equation modeling was employed to assess these mechanisms. PIU negatively predicted academic self-efficacy (r = –0.32, p < 0.01) and meaning in life (r = –0.20, p < 0.01), while meaning in life positively predicted academic self-efficacy (r = 0.50, p < 0.01). Meaning in life partially mediated the PIU–self-efficacy link, with a stronger effect under negative coping model (β = –0.093, 32 % of total effect) than under positive coping model (β = –0.033, 14 %). Moderation analyses showed opposing effects of coping styles: positive coping attenuated the PIU–self-efficacy association (β = –0.241 vs. –0.163), whereas negative coping amplified PIU’s impact on meaning in life (β = –0.190 vs. –0.227) and self-efficacy (β = –0.090 vs. –0.167). These findings highlight meaning in life as a protective mediator and coping styles as critical moderators, suggesting interventions enhancing meaning and adaptive coping could improve academic self-efficacy among adolescents with high Internet use.
青少年尤其容易受到病理性互联网使用(PIU)的影响,他们可能会经历学术自我效能降低,因为他们管理学术挑战和获得生活意义的能力受到损害。本研究旨在探讨过度和强迫性网络行为损害功能对青少年学业自我效能的影响,探讨生活意义(目标感和连贯感)的中介作用以及应对方式的调节作用。共有6445名中国高中生(Mage = 15.24, SD = 1.44)参与了这项研究,这一群体经历着独特的学术和数字压力,可能会放大PIU的影响。采用结构方程模型来评估这些机制。PIU负向预测学业自我效能(r = -0.32, p < 0.01)和生活意义(r = -0.20, p < 0.01),正向预测学业自我效能(r = 0.50, p < 0.01)。生活意义部分介导了自我效能感与自我效能感的关系,负性应对模式下的影响(β = -0.093,占总效应的32%)强于正性应对模式下的影响(β = -0.033,占总效应的14%)。适度分析显示,积极应对会减弱PIU与自我效能的关联(β = -0.241 vs. -0.163),而消极应对则会放大PIU对生活意义(β = -0.190 vs. -0.227)和自我效能的影响(β = -0.090 vs. -0.167)。研究结果表明,生活意义是一种保护性中介,而应对方式是一种关键调节因子,表明提高意义和适应性应对的干预措施可以提高高互联网青少年的学业自我效能感。

Background
There are increasing efforts to better understand suicidal behaviour among current and former military personnel in Australia. More research using innovative methodologies is needed to identify risk and protective factors that could be addressed within the military.
Objective
To better understand perceived risk and protective factors associated with suicidal behaviour within the military context.
Methods
Three groups of stakeholders were recruited: people with lived experience of suicide in a military context, military mental health clinicians, and researchers with expertise in suicide in a military context. Using concept mapping, participants individually generated risk and/or protective factors for suicidal behaviour in a military context, before organising and rating all statements. Data were collected, analysed, and visually represented using the GroupWisdom platform.
Results
In total, 57 stakeholders participated in at least one stage of the study (i.e., brainstorming, sorting and/or rating). Brainstorming generated 97 perceived risk-factors and 63 perceived protective factors, which were thematically grouped by participants. A multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis generated a 7-cluster solution for risk factors and a 5-cluster solution for protective factors. Most of the risk and protective factors rated highly both in terms of importance and feasibility for the military to address were from workplace-related clusters.
Conclusions
The risk and protective factors for suicidal behaviours within a military context were identified on three social-ecological levels: workplace (community), relational, and individual. The results of this study may inform future suicide research and prevention activities targeted to military personnel.

Background
Childhood maltreatment is a major public health issue and associated with self-harm in adolescents. Self-harm is the strongest recognised predictor of suicide. Associations between reduced pain sensitivity and childhood maltreatment have been reported. We have previously shown that pain hyposensitivity is a robust feature of adolescents living in residential care with self-harm. Here, we explore the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACE), self-harm, and pain sensitivity in this sample.
Methods
Forty-eight adolescents (13-17 years) completed the ACE 10-item scale and were tested using a standardised quantitative sensory testing (QST) protocol. Participants were categorised according to the subtypes of abuse experienced (e.g., physical versus sexual) and frequency of self-harm within the past year. Associations between subtypes of childhood maltreatment, self-harm, and pain sensitivity were examined using ordinal regression, linear regression and independent samples t-test.
Results
In our sample, history of sexual abuse was the strongest predictor of self-harm (p = .01). Those with experience of sexual abuse (n = 13) also showed significantly higher pain thresholds (p = .01). Those with experience of sexual abuse and the most frequent self-harm (n = 11) showed significantly higher pain thresholds compared to those without experience of sexual abuse (n = 10, p = .009).
Limitations
The cross-sectional study design does not allow us to establish causal relationships. Due to the limited sample size, findings should be interpreted as exploratory.
Conclusions
Based on a limited sample of 48, our findings suggest that a history of sexual abuse may have a unique relationship to self-harm and pain hyposensitivity. Longitudinal research is needed to estimate the predictive value of pain sensitivity as a potential biomarker to identify those at risk for self-harm and suicide.
