Background

Despite dyadic interdependence of preparedness for death, associations of death preparedness (conjoint cognitive prognostic awareness and emotional acceptance) with psychological distress and quality of life (QOL) have been mainly examined cross-sectionally in patients or caregivers. This study longitudinally assessed associations of patient-caregiver concordance on death preparedness with dyads' psychological distress, QOL, and caregivers’ burden.

Patients/methods

Among 520 Taiwanese terminal cancer dyads, multivariate hierarchical linear models examined associations between death-preparedness concordance and anxiety, depression, QOL, and caregiving burden, separately for patients and caregivers across four concordant states (unprepared-concordant, cognitive-concordant, emotional-concordant, and sufficient-concordant) versus discordance, reported as β estimates with 95 % confidence intervals.

Results

Death-preparedness concordance was associated with outcomes, except unprepared concordance showed no association with patient outcomes, and emotional concordance was unrelated to caregiver outcomes. Relative to the discordant group, patients in the cognitive-concordant state had more anxiety (0.927 [0.364, 1.490]) and worse QOL (−3.933 [-6.661, −1.205]), whereas those in the emotional-concordant state had fewer symptoms of anxiety (−1.913 [-3.154, −0.672]) and depression (−1.617 [-3.128, −0.106]). The sufficient-concordant state was associated with fewer anxiety symptoms (−0.940 [-1.471, −0.409]) and better QOL (4.119 [1.252, 6.986]). Caregivers in unprepared- and cognitive-concordant states had more depressive symptoms and worse QOL, while those in the sufficient-concordant state reported fewer depressive symptoms (−1.960 [-3.348, −0.572]) and better QOL (3.922 [1.419, 6.425]). Cognitive-concordant caregivers also reported higher subjective burden (2.228 [0.962, 3.494]).

Conclusions

Sufficient concordance in death preparedness reduces patient anxiety and caregiver depression while improving dyads’ QOL, underscoring its role in enhancing end-of-life outcomes.
背景:尽管死亡准备存在二元相互依赖关系,但死亡准备(联合认知预后意识和情感接受)与心理困扰和生活质量(QOL)的关联主要在患者或护理人员中进行横断面研究。本研究以纵向方式评估患者与照护者对死亡准备的一致性与二人心理困扰、生活质量及照护者负担的关系。患者/方法在520名台湾晚期癌症患者中,采用多元层次线性模型,分别对患者和护理人员在四种和谐状态(未准备和谐、认知和谐、情绪和谐和充分和谐)和不和谐状态下的死亡准备一致性与焦虑、抑郁、生活质量和护理负担之间的关系进行了研究,报告为β估计,置信区间为95%。结果死亡准备一致性与预后相关,但未准备一致性与患者预后无关联,情绪一致性与护理者预后无关。与不协调组相比,认知-和谐状态患者的焦虑症状较多(0.927[0.364,1.490]),生活质量较差(- 3.933[-6.661,- 1.205]),情绪-和谐状态患者的焦虑症状较少(- 1.913[-3.154,- 0.672]),抑郁症状较少(- 1.617[-3.128,- 0.106])。充分和谐状态与焦虑症状减少(- 0.940[-1.471,- 0.409])和生活质量改善(4.119[1.252,6.986])相关。无准备和认知和谐状态的照顾者抑郁症状较多,生活质量较差;充分和谐状态的照顾者抑郁症状较少(- 1.960[-3.348,- 0.572]),生活质量较好(3.922[1.419,6.425])。认知和谐照顾者的主观负担也较高(2.228[0.962,3.494])。结论充分的死亡准备一致性降低了患者的焦虑和照顾者的抑郁,改善了患者的生活质量,强调了其在提高临终预后方面的作用。

Background

Mental health is conceptualized differently across cultures, making exploration of the understandability of screening tools for the purpose of adaptation critical.

Methods

In Uganda, we used cognitive interviewing to understand comprehension of and make adaptations to three scales for measuring psychological distress: the Thinking Too Much (TTM) Questionnaire, the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9), and the Hopkins Symptoms Checklist (HSCL). We recruited 12 people living with HIV from the Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS) and interviewed seven potential users of the scales (four RCCS survey interviewers and three local health workers). Data were analyzed systematically using a team-based matrix approach.

Results

The HSCL was generally well understood, with minor clarifications needed. The TTM Questionnaire was also well understood, though differences between “how much” and “how often” required specificity. Both included local idioms of distress from prior adaptations. The PHQ-9 performed less well, with many questions interpreted variably or showing unclear local applicability, especially among people living with HIV. For example, questions about trouble concentrating were misunderstood, focusing on examples like newspapers rather than the broader issue of concentration.

Conclusion

Future research should explore the validity and utility of commonly used instruments as mental health research expands in Africa, and both researchers and public health programmers should consider the strengths and limitations of screening instruments in their setting.
不同文化对心理健康的概念不同,因此探索筛查工具的可理解性对于适应至关重要。方法在乌干达,我们采用认知访谈法了解并调整了三种测量心理困扰的量表:思考过多(TTM)问卷、患者健康问卷9 (PHQ-9)和霍普金斯症状检查表(HSCL)。我们从Rakai社区队列研究(RCCS)中招募了12名艾滋病毒感染者,并采访了7名潜在的量表使用者(4名RCCS调查采访者和3名当地卫生工作者)。使用基于团队的矩阵方法系统地分析数据。结果对HSCL的理解普遍较好,需要进行少量的说明。TTM问卷也被很好地理解,尽管“多少”和“多久”之间的差异需要具体说明。两者都包含了先前改编的痛苦的当地习语。PHQ-9的表现不太好,许多问题解释不一,或显示不明确的局部适用性,特别是在艾滋病毒感染者中。例如,关于注意力不集中的问题被误解了,人们把注意力集中在报纸之类的例子上,而不是更广泛的注意力集中问题。结论随着心理健康研究在非洲的扩展,未来的研究应探索常用工具的有效性和实用性,研究人员和公共卫生规划人员应考虑筛查工具在其环境中的优势和局限性。

Background

In lower-income countries, research is lacking on levels and associations of using sexually explicit, physically non-violent media (SEM) or sexually explicit, physically violent media (SVM) with well-being outcomes in high-school students.

Objective

We tested theories of gendered aggression and moral incongruence to explain the associations of SEM use and/or SVM use versus non-use with sexual misconduct perpetration/victimization and other well-being outcomes among students attending three high schools in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Method

712 students completed surveys about their general health, mental health, alcohol use, academic disengagement, sexual misconduct perpetration and victimization, beliefs about pro-violence peer norms, and any SEM/SVM use in the prior six months. Unadjusted and adjusted regression models were estimated.

Results

Most reported SEM (47 %) or SVM (32 %) use. SVM use was higher among boys (39 %) than girls (27 %) (χ2 p = 0.01). Among boys, compared to non-users, users reported worse self-rated health (SEM acoef = 0.44 (0.10, 0.78); SVM acoef = 0.58 (0.23, 0.93)), higher alcohol use (SEM aOR = 2.42 (1.06, 5.58); SVM aOR = 2.44 (1.05, 5.62)), and higher sexual misconduct perpetration involving physical dating violence, stalking, or sexual violence (SVM aOR = 5.02 (1.39, 18.06)). Among girls, compared to non-users, SVM users reported higher sexual misconduct perpetration (aOR = 2.59 (1.13, 5.92)) and sexual violence victimization (aOR = 5.74 (1.81, 18.22)); SEM users reported higher sexual misconduct victimization involving physical dating violence, sexual harassment, stalking, or sexual violence (OR = 2.32 (1.33, 4.04)).

Conclusion

Most high-school students in this study reported sexualized media use, and boys reported SVM use more often than girls. Corroborating gendered aggression theory, sexualized media use tended to predict violence perpetration among boys and victimization among girls. Corroborating moral incongruence theory, boys’ use was associated with worse self-rated health and alcohol use. Contextualized programs may reduce student access to common modalities of sexualized media use and educate school communities about the harms of use.
在低收入国家,缺乏关于高中生使用性暴露、身体暴力媒体(SEM)或性暴露、身体暴力媒体(SVM)与幸福感结果之间的水平和关联的研究。目的对越南胡志明市三所高中学生的性别攻击和道德不一致理论进行检验,以解释SEM的使用和/或SVM的使用与不使用与性行为不端犯罪/受害和其他幸福结果之间的关联。方法712名学生在过去6个月内完成了总体健康、心理健康、酒精使用、学业脱离、性行为不端犯罪和受害、对暴力同伴规范的信念以及任何SEM/SVM使用情况的调查。对未调整和调整后的回归模型进行估计。结果大多数报告使用SEM(47%)或SVM(32%)。男生(39%)使用支持向量机的比例高于女生(27%)(χ2 p = 0.01)。在男孩中,与不使用电子烟的人相比,使用电子烟的人自评健康状况较差(SEM acoef = 0.44 (0.10, 0.78);SVM的acoef = 0.58(0.23, 0.93)),较高的酒精使用(SEM aOR = 2.42 (1.06, 5.58);支持向量机aOR = 2.44(1.05, 5.62)),以及涉及肢体约会暴力、跟踪或性暴力的更高的性行为不当犯罪(支持向量机aOR = 5.02(1.39, 18.06))。在女孩中,与非用户相比,支持向量机用户报告更高的性行为不端犯罪(aOR = 2.59(1.13, 5.92))和性暴力受害(aOR = 5.74 (1.81, 18.22));SEM用户报告了更高的性行为不当受害者,包括身体约会暴力、性骚扰、跟踪或性暴力(or = 2.32(1.33, 4.04))。结论本研究中大多数高中生报告了性媒体的使用,男生报告的SVM使用频率高于女生。证实了性别攻击理论,性化媒体使用倾向于预测男孩的暴力行为和女孩的受害行为。证实道德不一致理论,男孩使用与较差的自我评价健康和酒精使用有关。情境化项目可能会减少学生接触到性媒体使用的常见方式,并教育学校社区了解使用媒体的危害。

This study examined associations between perceived social support, maternal mental health, and parenting practices among mothers with young children under aged 2 years in rural Western Kenya. Data were collected as part of the baseline evaluation of a cluster randomized controlled trial evaluating a parenting intervention. Maternal perceived social support was reported using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and community connectedness with two study-developed items. Maternal depressive symptoms were measured using the CES-D, parenting distress with Parenting Stress Index–Short Form, and caregiver stimulation practices with Family Care Indicators. Multilevel linear regression models examined associations between social support and maternal mental health and parenting outcomes. The analytic sample included 539 mothers, of whom 49.4 % were aged 25–34 years, 36.4 % were at risk of depression, and 19.9 % reported high parenting stress. Higher perceived support was associated with fewer depressive symptoms (β = −0.14, p < .001), lower parenting stress (β = −0.24, p < .001), and greater stimulation practices (β = 0.08, p = .04). Family support was more strongly associated with mental health outcomes, while friend support was associated with stimulation. Community connectedness was associated with lower parenting stress but not with depressive symptoms. Findings highlight the importance of family support for maternal well-being and peer support for fostering stimulation practices among mothers with young children.
本研究调查了肯尼亚西部农村地区2岁以下幼儿母亲的感知社会支持、母亲心理健康和育儿实践之间的关系。数据收集作为评估父母干预的集群随机对照试验的基线评估的一部分。使用感知社会支持的多维尺度和社区连通性与两个研究开发的项目来报告母亲感知社会支持。使用ce - d量表测量母亲抑郁症状,使用父母压力指数简表测量父母压力,使用家庭照顾指标测量照顾者刺激实践。多水平线性回归模型检验了社会支持与产妇心理健康和育儿结果之间的关系。分析样本包括539名母亲,其中49.4%的年龄在25-34岁之间,36.4%的人有抑郁风险,19.9%的人有很高的育儿压力。更高的感知支持与更少的抑郁症状(β = - 0.14, p < .001)、更低的养育压力(β = - 0.24, p < .001)和更多的刺激实践(β = 0.08, p = .04)相关。家庭支持与心理健康结果的关系更为密切,而朋友支持与刺激有关。社区联系与较低的养育压力有关,但与抑郁症状无关。调查结果强调了家庭支持对孕产妇福祉的重要性,以及同伴支持对在有幼儿的母亲中促进刺激做法的重要性。

Introduction

The design and implementation of digital mental health interventions (DMHI) requires understanding users' attitudes and perceptions to enhance acceptance in practice. In Peru's university settings, this remains underexplored.

Objective

To identify coping strategies, attitudes toward mental health, and perceptions of implementing DMHI among members of a public university in Peru.

Methods

A qualitative phenomenological study with purposive sampling was conducted with 34 participants: 10 students, 10 faculty members, 10 administrative staff, and 4 institutional policy decision-makers from a public university in Peru. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, and thematic and content analysis was performed to identify patterns and categories.

Results

Participants reported various coping strategies, most commonly seeking professional help and social interaction. Although most consider mental health essential, economic barriers and negative experiences hinder adherence to services. Virtual care during the pandemic was positively valued for continuity and convenience, although some expressed doubts about its effectiveness compared to in-person care.

Conclusions

In a public Andean university, there is openness to digital solutions for managing mental health, yet barriers persist related to cost, privacy, and connectivity. Universities should strengthen workforce training and advance context-tailored DMHI efforts within the campus setting.
数字心理健康干预(DMHI)的设计和实施需要了解用户的态度和看法,以提高实践中的接受度。在秘鲁的大学环境中,这一点仍未得到充分探索。目的确定秘鲁一所公立大学成员的应对策略、对心理健康的态度以及对实施DMHI的看法。方法采用定性现象学方法,对秘鲁一所公立大学的10名学生、10名教师、10名行政人员和4名机构决策者进行有目的抽样研究。使用半结构化访谈收集数据,并进行主题和内容分析以确定模式和类别。结果参与者报告了各种应对策略,最常见的是寻求专业帮助和社会互动。尽管大多数人认为心理健康至关重要,但经济障碍和负面经历阻碍了人们获得服务。大流行期间的虚拟护理因其连续性和便利性而受到积极评价,尽管一些人对其与面对面护理相比的有效性表示怀疑。在一所公立安第斯大学,人们对管理心理健康的数字解决方案持开放态度,但与成本、隐私和连接相关的障碍仍然存在。大学应加强劳动力培训,并在校园环境中推进因势制宜的DMHI工作。

Digital labor as a social determinant of mental health: The case of performative extreme eating in Japan 数字劳动作为心理健康的社会决定因素:日本极端饮食行为的案例
IF 2.6 Q1 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-10-03 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100537

Introduction

Social media has transformed eating into a global spectacle, with online eating performances emerging as one of the major entertainment genres. While the impact of online performance on viewers is a growing public health concern, the well-being of the performers themselves remains underexplored. This narrative review analyzes “performative extreme eating”—the voluntary, deliberate consumption of excessive food for entertainment or digital labor—framing it as a challenge for mental, behavioral and occupational health.

Methods

This narrative review synthesizes information from diverse sources through a non-systematic search of academic literature, supplemented by an analysis of journalistic reports and relevant cultural media to provide a comprehensive overview of the phenomenon, using Japan as a primary case study.

Results

Performative extreme eating often appears distinct from clinical eating disorders as it may lack the subjective distress or loss of control required for diagnosis. However, this performative facade can obscure serious underlying vulnerabilities, including undiagnosed binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa. Our analysis of the Japanese context reveals how precarious digital labor acts as a social determinant of mental health, creating a public health blind spot exacerbated by nascent worker protections and policy inaction.

Conclusion

Performative extreme eating is a pressing challenge at the intersection of digital culture, the gig economy, and occupational health. Addressing it requires a multi-pronged strategy: Targeted research on its prevalence and health effects, occupational health guidelines for performers, and thoughtful, evidence-based regulations.
社交媒体已经把吃变成了一种全球奇观,在线吃表演也成为了一种主要的娱乐形式。虽然在线表演对观众的影响日益成为公共卫生问题,但表演者本身的健康状况仍未得到充分探讨。这篇叙述性评论分析了“表演性极端饮食”——为了娱乐或数字劳动而自愿、故意地过量食用食物——将其视为对心理、行为和职业健康的挑战。本文以日本为主要案例,通过非系统的学术文献检索,综合了来自不同来源的信息,并辅以对新闻报道和相关文化媒体的分析,对这一现象进行了全面的概述。结果表现性极端饮食症与临床饮食失调症不同,缺乏诊断所需的主观痛苦或失控。然而,这种表象掩盖了严重的潜在弱点,包括未确诊的暴食症和神经性贪食症。我们对日本背景的分析揭示了不稳定的数字劳动力如何成为心理健康的社会决定因素,造成了一个公共卫生盲点,而新生的工人保护和政策不作为加剧了这一盲点。在数字文化、零工经济和职业健康的交叉点,表演性极端饮食是一个紧迫的挑战。解决这一问题需要多管齐下的战略:对其流行程度和健康影响进行有针对性的研究,为表演者提供职业健康指南,并制定周到的、以证据为基础的法规。

The Solution-focused Intervention for Mental health (SIM): description and feasibility testing of a positive psychology intervention in Swedish adolescents 以解决方案为中心的心理健康干预(SIM):瑞典青少年积极心理干预的描述和可行性测试
IF 4.1 Q1 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-07-11 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100493

A paucity of studies exists that report on the description and testing of school-based interventions set out to promote mental well-being among adolescents, particularly in a Swedish context. The aim of this paper is to describe a new strength-based intervention designed using the core elements of solution-focused brief therapy for coaching within a normative frame of mental well-being. The Solution-focused Intervention for Mental health (SIM) is a nine-week, classroom-based, group intervention that has been developed to be both feasible and effective in addressing the current public health challenge concerning adolescent mental health. The intervention is described in accordance with guidelines for group-based behaviour change interventions. The results of three subsequent studies are presented and they support the intervention's feasibility. These studies demonstrate improvements in student participation, session attendance and ratings, as well as in a mental well-being outcome. The first two studies show small effect sizes and the third shows a medium effect size, thereby further substantiating the efficacy of implementing SIM in upper secondary schools. The program is now ready to be evaluated in a forthcoming randomized controlled trial.
目前缺乏关于描述和测试旨在促进青少年心理健康的学校干预措施的研究报告,特别是在瑞典的背景下。本文的目的是描述一种新的基于力量的干预设计,使用解决方案为中心的简短治疗的核心要素,在心理健康的规范框架内指导。以解决方案为重点的心理健康干预(SIM)是一项为期九周、以课堂为基础的群体干预,旨在既可行又有效地应对当前与青少年心理健康有关的公共卫生挑战。干预措施是根据基于群体的行为改变干预的指导方针进行描述的。随后的三项研究结果均支持该干预措施的可行性。这些研究表明,在学生参与、会议出勤率和评分以及心理健康结果方面都有所改善。前两项研究的效应量较小,而第三项研究的效应量为中等,从而进一步证实了高中实施SIM的有效性。该计划现在准备在即将到来的随机对照试验中进行评估。

From Trauma to Resilience to Peace? Charting resilient and pluralistic paths forward in post-civil war Sri Lanka 从创伤到复原再到和平?为内战后的斯里兰卡规划了富有弹性和多元化的前进道路

This introductory editorial for the special issue, “From Trauma to Resilience to Peace? Charting Paths Forward in Post-Civil-War Sri Lanka,” synthesizes six distinct contributions to map the island's psychosocial landscape in the sixteen years since the end of the civil war. Quantitative and qualitative examinations demonstrates that wartime violence, chronic economic stressors, and political volatility continue to impact mental health, while maternal narratives highlight the trans-generational impact of the war. Yet these investigations also reveal some hopeful possibilities for promoting resilience using tools such as spiritual coping, social-capital buffers, and practitioner ingenuity. New directions include targeted clinical care and social-protection policies combined with transitional-justice safeguards and community-based pluralism initiatives. Together, these articles make the case that sustainable peace must be both psychosocial and political, anchoring mental health recovery in both material security and engaged inter-ethnic and inter-religious coexistence.
这篇特刊的导论社论题为“从创伤到恢复到和平?”《绘制内战后斯里兰卡的前进道路》综合了六个不同的贡献,描绘了内战结束后16年里这个岛屿的社会心理景观。定量和定性检查表明,战时暴力、长期经济压力和政治动荡继续影响心理健康,而母亲的叙述则强调了战争的跨代影响。然而,这些调查也揭示了利用精神应对、社会资本缓冲和实践者的独创性等工具来提高弹性的一些有希望的可能性。新的方向包括有针对性的临床护理和社会保护政策,结合过渡司法保障措施和基于社区的多元化倡议。这些条款共同说明,可持续和平必须既是社会心理和平,也是政治和平,将精神健康康复置于物质安全之中,并促进种族间和宗教间共存。

Group dynamics in the delivery of the Reflective Fostering Programme: managing ‘face-threat’ risks in a mentalization-based intervention for foster carers 团体动态在提供反思性寄养计划:管理“面对威胁”的风险,以心理为基础的干预寄养照顾者
IF 2.6 Q1 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2025-12-01 Epub Date: 2025-09-18 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100523

Interventions aimed at enhancing the reflective capacity of parents and carers (their ability to think about their own and their child's mental states, and how these underpin behaviour) aim to improve the quality of the carer-child relationship and child wellbeing. Evaluating how implementation of such interventions for foster carers interacts with the wider context of social care is vital for understanding how intervention mechanisms function. The Reflective Fostering Programme (RFP) is a mentalization-based, psycho-educational intervention delivered across 10 sessions to groups of 5–10 foster carers. Video-recordings of sessions were collected between April 2020 and December 2023 in three sites taking part in a randomised controlled trial in the United Kingdom. Group size in our sample ranged from 5 to 8 people (18 in total). Most participants were foster carers (n = 16), with the remaining (n = 2) kinship or connected carers. In close alignment with the demographic characteristics of carers in the UK, the majority (n = 15) were female, and White British (n = 17). Drawing on Goffman's concept of ‘face threat’, we used conversation analysis to examine the enactment of reflective fostering mechanisms within sessions to explore how the wider children's social care system shaped implementation and mechanisms of change. The development of supportive and trusting group dynamics was critical for facilitating engagement and participation with RFP. However, a supportive dynamic was contingent on carers navigating ‘interactional dilemmas’ to manage face-threatening risks to their personal and professional reputations. Active engagement with RFP relied on successful mitigation of these face-threats. In doing so, an interactional space was afforded for carers to practise and develop their reflective capacity. These findings highlight how implementation of RFP and other group-based foster care interventions need to carefully consider pre-existing relationships, the distribution of power, and strategies for creating a space for carers to overcome potential face-threatening risks and share difficult experiences. Social care services can facilitate implementation by creating a supportive environment which acknowledges and validates carer stress and vulnerability.
旨在提高父母和照顾者的反思能力的干预措施(他们思考自己和孩子的精神状态的能力,以及这些状态如何支撑行为的能力)旨在改善照顾者与孩子关系的质量和儿童的福祉。评估此类干预措施的实施如何与更广泛的社会护理背景相互作用,对于理解干预机制如何发挥作用至关重要。反思性寄养计划(RFP)是一项以心理为基础的心理教育干预措施,分10次向5-10名寄养照顾者提供服务。在2020年4月至2023年12月期间,在英国参加随机对照试验的三个地点收集了会议的视频记录。我们样本中的群体规模从5到8人不等(总共18人)。大多数参与者是寄养照顾者(n = 16),其余(n = 2)是亲属关系或有联系的照顾者。与英国护理人员的人口特征密切相关,大多数(n = 15)是女性,以及英国白人(n = 17)。根据戈夫曼的“面对威胁”概念,我们使用对话分析来检查会议中反思性培养机制的制定,以探索更广泛的儿童社会关怀系统如何影响实施和变革机制。发展支持和信任的群体动力对于促进参与和参与RFP至关重要。然而,支持的动力取决于护理人员如何应对“互动困境”,以管理危及个人和职业声誉的风险。积极参与RFP依赖于成功缓解这些威胁。在这样做的过程中,为护理人员提供了一个互动空间来练习和发展他们的反思能力。这些发现强调了RFP和其他基于群体的寄养干预措施的实施需要仔细考虑预先存在的关系、权力分配以及为照顾者创造空间以克服潜在的威胁风险和分享困难经历的策略。社会关怀服务可以通过创造一个支持性的环境,承认和确认照顾者的压力和脆弱性,从而促进实施。
