Pub Date : 2024-07-26 DOI: 10.1016/j.mhp.2024.200354

Objective

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an unprecedented interest in pet ownership, with many viewing pets as a coping strategy to mitigate isolation, loneliness, anxiety, and depression. However, the evidence that pet ownership is associated with mental health benefits is not conclusive.

Methods

6018 individuals in the UK completed online questionnaires from April 2020 and were recontacted at regular intervals for 12 months. We asked about pet ownership and pet adoption, and examined associations with depression, anxiety and anhedonia symptoms, and loneliness. We tested hypotheses related to dog ownership, exercise frequency and maintaining a daily structure, and the association between ownership and loneliness in individuals living alone.

Results

Pet ownership was not associated with beneficial effects on any of the mental health outcomes at the first assessment or longitudinally. Instead, associations were in the unexpected direction, with owners generally having slightly worse mental health symptoms and loneliness. Dog owners were more likely to report exercising daily or nearly every day (40 %), relative to individuals with no pets (35 %), but were not more likely to maintain a daily schedule. Among individuals living alone, both cat and dog owners were less lonely than non-owners, but effect sizes were small. Initial levels of depression, anxiety, anhedonia or loneliness did not predict subsequent pet adoption.

Conclusion

Our findings challenge the narrative around the beneficial associations between pet ownership and mental health, a probable driver of the “pandemic puppies” phenomenon. The benefits found, for exercise in dog owners and loneliness in pet owners living alone, were marginal.

目的在 COVID-19 大流行期间，人们对饲养宠物产生了前所未有的兴趣，许多人将宠物视为缓解孤独、寂寞、焦虑和抑郁的一种应对策略。然而，拥有宠物对心理健康有益的证据并不确凿。方法英国有 6018 人从 2020 年 4 月开始填写在线问卷，并在 12 个月内定期与他们再次联系。我们询问了拥有宠物和领养宠物的情况，并研究了与抑郁、焦虑和失乐症状以及孤独感之间的关联。我们检验了与养狗、运动频率和保持日常生活习惯有关的假设，以及养狗与独居者孤独感之间的关联。相反，两者之间的关系却出乎意料，养狗者的精神健康症状和孤独感普遍略差。与不养宠物的人（35%）相比，养狗的人更有可能每天或几乎每天锻炼身体（40%），但他们并不更有可能坚持每天锻炼。在独居者中，养猫和养狗的人比不养猫和养狗的人更不孤独，但影响程度很小。最初的抑郁、焦虑、失乐症或孤独感水平并不能预测随后的宠物收养情况。结论我们的研究结果对有关拥有宠物与心理健康之间有益关系的说法提出了质疑，这可能是 "大流行小狗 "现象的一个驱动因素。在养狗者的运动和独居者的孤独感方面发现的益处微乎其微。

What medical students want from Mental Health Self-Help Resources: A focus group study 医学生对心理健康自助资源的需求：焦点小组研究

Q2 Medicine

Mental Health and Prevention

Pub Date : 2024-07-23 DOI: 10.1016/j.mhp.2024.200353

Background

Medical students frequently report higher levels of psychological distress than the general population, and emotional regulation skills learnt during their time of study underpin future psychological self-management. There have been few self-help mental health resources designed for this population, and it remains unclear what formats medical students prefer these resources to take on. Therefore, this study sought to understand what medical students want from self-help mental health resources.

Methods

Otago Medical School students in their second, third, or Honors research years of study participated in focus groups where questions were posed to them about their preferences about format, perceived benefits, and interactions with self-help mental health resources. The data was recorded, transcribed, and thematically analyzed to identify relevant themes.

Results

Thirty-four participants took part in six focus groups which lasted an average of 34 min each. Themes emerged around format, usefulness, and engagement. Formats included passively used resources like podcasts, actively used like reflective journals and social group-based resources to strengthen communities. Useful resources included novel, targeted approaches that would assist with navigating specific struggles as opposed to previously taught academic content. Recommendations included advertising through trusted student bodies and providing short, gamified resources.

Conclusion

Participants reported a strong preference for brief, visually appealing, and gamified resources. It is recommended that universities provide a diverse collection of these self-help mental health resources tailored specifically to at-risk student populations like medical students to increase their uptake and, in doing so, provide them with more effective mental health support.

背景医学生经常报告比普通人群更高水平的心理困扰，在学习期间学到的情绪调节技能是未来心理自我管理的基础。针对这一人群设计的自助式心理健康资源很少，目前仍不清楚医学生更喜欢这些资源采取何种形式。因此，本研究试图了解医学生希望从自助式心理健康资源中获得什么。方法奥塔哥医学院第二、第三或荣誉研究年级的学生参加了焦点小组，在小组中向他们提出了关于他们对自助式心理健康资源的形式、感知益处和互动的偏好等问题。结果34名参与者参加了6个焦点小组，平均每个小组持续34分钟。围绕着形式、实用性和参与度等方面出现了一些主题。形式包括被动使用的资源（如播客）、主动使用的资源（如反思日记）和基于社会团体的资源（以加强社区）。有用的资源包括新颖的、有针对性的方法，相对于以前教授的学术内容，这些方法有助于克服特定的困难。建议包括通过可信赖的学生团体进行宣传，以及提供简短、游戏化的资源。建议大学为医科学生等高危学生群体提供这些自助式心理健康资源，以提高他们的使用率，从而为他们提供更有效的心理健康支持。

Q2 Medicine

Mental Health and Prevention

Pub Date : 2024-07-18 DOI: 10.1016/j.mhp.2024.200355

Objective

Bus drivers are at risk of ill health due to their job, and specific stressors can lead to physical, psychological, and behavioural outcomes. The driver's state of mind and body has a significant role in how well they operate the bus. The primary objective of this systematic review is to analyse the factors affecting the mental health of drivers around the globe.

Methods

The review follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidance. APA PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Regional Business News, Business Source Ultimate, CINAHL Ultimate, and SPORT Discus were searched for relevant studies. The initial search returned 102 studies that were subjected to further screening using the inclusion and exclusion criteria and 11 studies were selected for the review.

Results

This review identified alcohol and substance abuse, job stress and poor working conditions, occupational factors, driver-passenger communication tension and complex driving environments as the major factors that affect the mental health of bus drivers.

Conclusion

The findings of this review will help researchers, governments, policy makers, bus companies and bus drivers’ unions to identify key areas of priority to focus on when considering the mental health of bus drivers. Future studies need to use qualitative method to further explore bus drivers lived experience of mental health issues and more women drivers need to be considered in these studies.

Along the way: Pilot study of a perinatal interpersonal psychotherapy group on distressed women 一路走来围产期人际心理治疗小组对受困妇女的试点研究

Q2 Medicine

Mental Health and Prevention

Pub Date : 2024-07-08 DOI: 10.1016/j.mhp.2024.200352

Objective

This is the first perinatal interpersonal psychotherapy group (P-IPTG) implemented for distressed women from pregnancy to postpartum. The aim is to explore the changes in postpartum adjustment for women who receive/do not receive P-IPTG and compare the changes of the two groups.

Methods

A quasi-experimental longitudinal design was applied to Taiwan community women. The sample sizes of the intervention and control groups were 25 and 233, respectively. Participants replied to measures four waves from their third trimester to one year postpartum. The intervention group participants received an eight-session P-IPTG, which consisted of four sessions in pregnancy and four in postpartum. Within-group changes were examined by repeated measure ANOVA, and between-group changes were compared by generalized estimating equations (GEE).

Results

ANOVA results showed that depression decreased from baseline to four months postpartum in the intervention group (p < 0.05). In the general dyadic relationship, no change was noted in the intervention group, while there was a reduction in the control group (F = 13.52, p < 0.001, eta² = 0.055). GEE comparison indicated favorable changes in the intervention group: greater reduction in depression at four months postpartum (β = -3.35, Wald χ² = 6.17, p = 0.013), greater improvements in perceived partner support at four and eight months postpartum (βs = 3.18, 3.12, Wald χ²s = 4.59, 3.95, ps = 0.032, 0.047), and greater enhancement in relationship satisfaction with mothers-in-law at eight months postpartum (β = 0.59, Wald χ² = 4.81, p = 0.028).

Conclusion

P-IPTG can make favorable trends of change in postpartum depression and partner/in-law relationships. This pilot study lays a foundation for further research in longitudinal perinatal interventions.

目的这是首个针对孕期至产后受困扰妇女实施的围产期人际心理治疗小组（P-IPTG）。方法采用准实验纵向设计，以台湾社区妇女为研究对象。干预组和对照组的样本量分别为 25 人和 233 人。受试者从怀孕三个月到产后一年共回答了四次问卷。干预组的参与者接受了八节 P-IPTG 课程，其中四节在孕期，四节在产后。结果表明，干预组从基线到产后四个月的抑郁程度有所下降（p <0.05）。在一般的夫妻关系方面，干预组没有发生变化，而对照组有所下降（F = 13.52，p < 0.001，eta2 = 0.055）。GEE 比较表明干预组出现了有利的变化：产后 4 个月时抑郁的减少幅度更大（β = -3.35，Wald χ2 = 6.17，P = 0.013），产后 4 个月和 8 个月时感知伴侣支持的改善幅度更大（βs = 3.18，3.12，Wald χ2s = 4.结论 P-IPTG 可以使产后抑郁和伴侣/婆媳关系出现良好的变化趋势。这项试点研究为进一步研究纵向围产期干预奠定了基础。

Objectives

To describe: i) how scalability domains (i.e., factors that influence a program's ability to expand to reach a larger population) are assessed and reported within randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of programs to improve child social and emotional learning in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings; and ii) relative impact of scaled-up programs.

Methods

We undertook a rapid review in November 2023 to identify RCTs of universal programs delivered in ECECs which were effective on at least one child social, emotional, and learning outcome. This formed a sample of pre-scale RCTs where additional intervention characteristics and reporting of seven scalability domains were extracted according to the Intervention Scalability Assessment Tool. To identify scale-up evaluations, we searched for related publications of the pre-scale RCTs. For directly comparable outcomes, we calculated the relative effect size between pre-scale and scaled-up programs.

Results

Twenty-two RCTs were included. Scalability domains were variably reported with only one study reporting on all assessed domains. Almost all programs were delivered by an external facilitator together with child educators, and none concurrently targeted physical health behaviours, such as physical activity and nutrition. We identified one formal evaluation of a scaled-up trial. Compared to the pre-scale trial, the scaled-up trial had a reduced effect on behavioural difficulties and an increased effect on prosocial behaviour.

Conclusions

More comprehensive reporting of scalability domains and formal evaluations of scaled-up social and emotional learning programs in ECEC are needed to ensure the intended outcomes to child health and wellbeing are achieved.

目标描述：i) 如何在随机对照试验（RCT）中评估和报告在幼儿教育和保育（ECEC）环境中改善儿童社交和情感学习的计划的可扩展性领域（即影响计划扩展以覆盖更多人群的能力的因素）；ii) 扩展计划的相对影响。方法我们在 2023 年 11 月进行了快速回顾，以确定在幼儿教育和保育机构中实施的、对至少一种儿童社交、情感和学习结果有效的通用计划的 RCT。这就形成了规模前 RCT 样本，根据干预可扩展性评估工具（Intervention Scalability Assessment Tool）提取了额外的干预特征和七个可扩展性领域的报告。为了确定推广评估，我们搜索了与规模前 RCT 相关的出版物。对于直接可比的结果，我们计算了扩大规模前和扩大规模后项目的相对效应大小。报告的可扩展性领域各不相同，只有一项研究报告了所有评估领域。几乎所有计划都是由外部指导者和儿童教育工作者共同实施的，没有一项计划同时针对体育锻炼和营养等身体健康行为。我们发现了一项对扩大试验的正式评估。与扩大规模前的试验相比，扩大规模后的试验对行为障碍的影响有所减少，而对亲社会行为的影响有所增加。结论需要对幼儿保育和教育中的可扩展性领域进行更全面的报告，并对扩大规模后的社会和情感学习计划进行正式评估，以确保实现对儿童健康和幸福的预期成果。

Background

Although men are more likely to die by suicide than women, they are less likely to seek help when feeling suicidal. Masculine socialisation leaves men feeling stigmatised for their mental health problems. Researchers consider podcasts an efficient way to promote health information and offer social support to individuals who are unable to access services.

Methods

Nine male listeners of a UK based men's mental health podcast series were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. Participants discussed their reflections of six podcast episodes and what they gained from listening. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis.

Results

Five interconnected themes were identified which described listener's reflections: understanding other men's lived experiences; facilitating male intimacy; combating male isolation; learning how to seek help and reflecting on a culture of positive masculinity.

Conclusions

The podcasts promote more inclusive, flexible versions of masculinity which encourage reflection on an individual's lived experience. Listening to men's mental health podcast episodes may provide a vehicle for men to initiate new ways of seeking informal help, reducing feelings of loneliness and fostering male intimacy.

背景虽然男性比女性更有可能死于自杀，但当他们有自杀倾向时，却不太可能寻求帮助。男性社会化使男性因心理健康问题而感到耻辱。研究人员认为，播客是宣传健康信息并为无法获得服务的个人提供社会支持的一种有效方式。方法采用半结构化访谈的方式，对英国男性心理健康播客系列的九名男性听众进行了采访。参与者讨论了他们对六集播客的看法以及他们从收听播客中获得的收获。结果确定了五个相互关联的主题来描述听众的反思：了解其他男性的生活经历；促进男性亲密关系；消除男性孤独感；学习如何寻求帮助以及反思积极的男性文化。收听男性心理健康播客节目可以为男性提供一种新的途径，以寻求非正式帮助、减少孤独感并促进男性之间的亲密关系。本文还讨论了有关本研究成果如何帮助播客制作者开发促进灵活男性气质的剧集的建议。

Background

Organized sport is shown to be a promising tool for promoting mental health and positive youth development (PYD) among socially vulnerable children and young people. Icehearts is a Finnish sport-based positive youth development programme targeted at children and adolescents with a higher risk of social marginalization and mental health problems. It provides socially vulnerable children with a mentoring relationship that lasts 12 years through childhood and adolescence.

Objective

The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in behavioural and emotional well-being of participating children at 4-year follow-up.

Methods

Data for the feasibility pilot study were collected from parents and teachers of programme participants (n = 65) at baseline (age 7) and at a 4-year follow-up using Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires. A community sample of peers was used as a reference group (n = 75).

Results

Improvement in prosocial behaviour but no statistically significant changes in different areas of internalising or externalising problems, as assessed by the teachers, were found among programme participants. According to the assessments by the parents, no statistically significant changes among programme participants were found. Among the peers in the reference group, a statistically significant decrease in conduct and emotional problems and an increase in prosocial behaviour were observed.

Conclusion

The Icehearts programme may have potential in promoting prosocial behaviour among socially vulnerable children. However, the programme may not be able to reduce emotional and behavioural problems in all children. Further research is needed on how to best support children in need for psychiatric or child welfare services.

背景有组织的体育运动被证明是促进社会弱势儿童和青少年心理健康和积极青年发展（PYD）的有效工具。冰心"（Icehearts）是芬兰一项以体育为基础的青少年积极发展计划，其目标群体是极易被社会边缘化和出现心理健康问题的儿童和青少年。本研究的目的是调查参与计划的儿童在 4 年随访期间在行为和情绪方面的变化。研究方法：在基线（7 岁）和 4 年随访期间，使用优势与困难问卷向计划参与者（n = 65）的家长和教师收集可行性试点研究的数据。结果发现，该计划的参与者在亲社会行为方面有所改善，但在由教师评估的内化或外化问题的不同方面，却没有统计学意义上的显著变化。根据家长的评估，计划参与者在统计上没有发现明显的变化。结论 "冰心 "计划在促进社会弱势儿童的亲社会行为方面可能具有潜力。然而，该计划可能无法减少所有儿童的情绪和行为问题。如何为需要精神科或儿童福利服务的儿童提供最佳支持，还需要进一步研究。

Objective

Teaching is a profession associated with high burnout levels due to its very nature. During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers in Latin America were expected to adjust to remote teaching. The effect this had on burnout syndrome in the region during the pandemic has not been investigated. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of burnout syndrome among teachers in Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru based on their work experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic

Methods

A quantitative, descriptive-correlational, cross-sectional design was employed. 2,012 teachers across different educational levels answered the Spanish Burnout Inventory (SBI) using an intentional non-probabilistic sampling. Ordinal logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the occurrence of guilt linked to syndrome development

Results

Differences were found in the dimensions of enthusiasm toward the job, psychological exhaustion, indolence, and guilt for the various samples, revealing Profile 1 and Profile 2. However, sociodemographic variables did not show significant differences across countries. Ordinal logistic regression analyses also revealed guilt as a predictive factor for elevated burnout levels across all countries

Conclusion

The findings underscore the complex interplay between burnout and guilt among teachers during the pandemic. Specific burnout profiles were identified, emphasizing the necessity for targeted interventions. Promoting supportive work environments and tailored interventions for high-risk teacher subgroups are essential. Addressing psychosocial occupational risk factors in educational policies is crucial for fostering healthier work environments.

目标教师职业的性质决定了其职业倦怠程度较高。在 COVID-19 大流行期间，拉丁美洲的教师需要适应远程教学。在大流行期间，这种情况对该地区职业倦怠综合症的影响尚未得到调查。本研究旨在根据 COVID-19 大流行期间阿根廷、智利、厄瓜多尔和秘鲁教师的工作经历，比较这些国家教师的职业倦怠综合症患病率。通过有意的非概率抽样，2,012 名不同教育水平的教师回答了西班牙职业倦怠量表（SBI）。结果发现，不同样本在工作热情、心理疲惫、懒散和内疚感方面存在差异，显示出特征 1 和特征 2。然而，不同国家的社会人口变量并没有显示出显著差异。结论：研究结果表明，在大流行病期间，教师的职业倦怠和内疚感之间存在着复杂的相互作用。研究发现了特定的职业倦怠特征，强调了采取有针对性的干预措施的必要性。为高风险教师亚群提供支持性工作环境和有针对性的干预措施至关重要。在教育政策中解决社会心理职业风险因素对于营造更健康的工作环境至关重要。
