Jan 26th 2024, 05:33

Abstract
Suicide poses a significant public health concern, particularly among adolescents and youth exposed to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). However, little research exists on understanding ACEs’ prevalence and suicidality consequences in Zimbabwe. Therefore, this study examined the prevalence and association between individual and cumulative ACEs with suicide risk among adolescents and youth in Zimbabwe. The study utilized data from the 2017 Zimbabwe Violence Against Children Survey (ZVACS) for males and females aged 13 to 24 (N = 8,715). Prevalence estimates were determined using chi-square tests, and four logistic regression models were employed to assess the association between individual and cumulative ACEs with suicide risk. 31.8% of the participants reported lifetime suicidal ideations or attempts. Participants who experienced emotional violence (69.1%), sexual violence (58.4%), witnessed community violence (47.0%), witnessed physical violence (53.2%), experienced physical violence (44.6%), orphaned (38.8%) and experienced cumulative ACEs (35.3%) reported lifetime suicidal ideations or attempts. Similarly, experiencing individual ACEs (physical and sexual violence, witnessing physical and community violence, and being orphaned) and cumulative ACEs were significantly associated with a higher risk of reporting lifetime suicidal ideations or attempts among the participants in the regression models. These findings underscore the importance of implementing strategies for preventing ACEs and suicide risk behaviors and enforcing effective child welfare policies. Future research should conduct longitudinal designs to investigate the specific ACEs that contribute most strongly to increased suicide risk among adolescents and youth in Zimbabwe.

Jan 26th 2024, 04:04

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on individuals, families, and communities, leading to increased stress, anxiety, and mental health issues. To address these needs, Together for Wellness/Juntos por Nuestro Bienestar (T4W/Juntos), a website providing mental health resources, was created. This study aims to understand the experiences of users of the T4W/Juntos website, to learn about the benefits of the website for its users during the pandemic, and to identify areas for improvement. A thematic analysis was conducted with answers given by 199 participants who responded to at least one of six open-ended questions that were included with other close-ended questions (reported elsewhere) in an electronically administered survey. The open-ended survey questions were developed with input from diverse stakeholders, including under-resourced populations. The sample was recruited through partnerships with 11 state-wide agencies. Five main themes were identified from analysis of the data. The major themes were (1) Disruptions and Challenges Experienced During the COVID-19 Pandemic, (2) Benefiting from an Accessible Website, and (3) Wanting Access to Additional Resources. The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Institutional Review Board (IRB) for Human Subjects approved the study, and participants provided informed consent. The website provided access to resource links that brought needed information, a sense of empowerment, and support for individuals dealing with mental health issues related to the pandemic. Participants highly recommended the website to others. However, they also suggested improvements such as more specific resources and additional languages.

Jan 26th 2024, 03:04

Abstract
Mobile mental health (mHealth) applications could increase access to psychological care for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but very few applications for PTSD include evidence-based intervention strategies. We examine perceptions of and experiences using Renew—an exposure-based mHealth application for symptoms of PTSD. Veterans with clinically significant symptoms of PTSD (N = 93) and access to an Android smartphone were invited to use Renew for 6 weeks and then completed a semi-structured qualitative feedback interview. Veterans predominately identified as non-Hispanic (89.2%), White (63.4%), and as cisgender women (68.8%). Self-report surveys assessing PTSD severity, COVID-19 stress, and the perceived helpfulness of Renew were completed pre- and post-treatment. A research dashboard collected total time spent in Renew. Identified qualitative themes included the following: General Satisfaction, Challenges to Use, Specific Functions Appreciated, Positive Impact on Functioning, Appraisal for On-Demand Care, and Relationship to In-Person Therapy. 94.29% of participants self-reported satisfaction with Renew, and 37.36% of participants experienced greater than a 10-point reduction in PCL-5 scores. A joint display contains mixed methods interpretations of the qualitative themes and relevant quantitative data. Renew was perceived as an acceptable form of mental health management and may have unique benefits compared to in-person therapy in terms of privacy, control, and accessibility. Participants who engaged in the exposure components perceived them as challenging but therapeutically beneficial. A perceived lack of support, accountability, and trust with the application were identified challenges.

Jan 26th 2024, 00:48

Psychological Services, Vol 20(4), Nov 2023, 745-755; doi:10.1037/ser0000783
Prolonged exposure (PE) is a first-line treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) available in specialty mental health. PE for primary care (PE-PC) is a brief version of PE adapted for primary care mental health integration, composed of four—eight, 30-min sessions. Using retrospective data of PE-PC training cases from 155 Veterans Health Administration (VHA) providers in 99 VHA clinics who participated in a 4- to 6-month PE-PC training and consultation program, we examined patients’ PTSD and depression severity across sessions via mixed effects multilevel linear modeling. Additionally, hierarchical logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess predictors of treatment dropout. Among 737 veterans, medium-to-large reductions in PTSD (intent-to-treat, Cohen’s d = 0.63; completers, Cohen’s d = 0.79) and small-to-medium reductions in depression (intent-to-treat, Cohen’s d = 0.40; completers, Cohen’s d = 0.51) were observed. The modal number of PE-PC sessions was five (SD = 1.98). Providers previously trained in both PE and cognitive processing therapy (CPT) were more likely than providers who were not trained in either PE or CPT to have veterans complete PE-PC (OR = 1.54). Veterans with military sexual trauma were less likely to complete PE-PC than veterans with combat trauma (OR = 0.42). Asian American and Pacific Islander veterans were more likely than White veterans to complete treatment (OR = 2.93). Older veterans were more likely than younger veterans to complete treatment (OR = 1.11). (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

Jan 25th 2024, 23:06

Abstract
This study examines the longitudinal associations between psychological and social well-being, which represent the private and public dimensions of eudaimonic well-being, respectively. Data were drawn from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) project (N = 6,453). Participants were assessed at three-time points, each approximately a decade apart. Both between-person and within-person associations between social and psychological well-being are examined. The results reveal a strong between-person association, consistent with previous cross-sectional results. In addition, novel insights are gained by uncovering longitudinal within-person associations that suggest consistent and coordinated changes in psychological and social well-being over time. More specifically, deviations from typical levels in one dimension are associated with corresponding deviations in the other dimension after about 10 years, suggesting a reciprocal link. Notably, person-specific changes in social well-being are a better predictor of subsequent changes in psychological well-being, than the other way around. These findings underscore the interdependence of the two facets of eudaimonic well-being and highlight the importance of considering both dimensions in intervention strategies. Taken together, these findings enrich our understanding of the dynamic nature of eudaimonic well-being.

Jan 25th 2024, 21:51

Asian American Journal of Psychology, Vol 14(4), Dec 2023, 307-326; doi:10.1037/aap0000314
Pilipinx Americans (PA) make up the third largest sub-Asian American group, yet continue to be disproportionately understudied in the social sciences. Subsequently, very little is known about the bio-psycho-social-spiritual (BPSS) factors that may impact their well-being. Recognizing the social, political, and historical conditions that impact PA is critical for understanding their well-being. Specifically, over 300 years of Spanish and U.S. American colonization of the Philippines have had profound and lasting impacts on Pilipinx and PA. Pilipinx scholars argue that Pilipinx have internalized the effects of colonial violence resulting in the development and intergenerational transmission of colonial mentality (CM). This study aims to build from the vital research on CM by answering the following research question: What is the relationship between CM and BPSS factors of well-being among PA? The literature search included 11 databases, gray literature, and consultations with content experts. Two reviewers independently assessed eligibility for inclusion, and information on CM measurement, sample, outcomes, and study design was extracted. The search strategy and selection criteria yielded 15 studies. Within the collective sample of 5,052 PA, significant relationships were found between CM and depression/self-esteem/body dissatisfaction, mental health help seeking, ethnic identity development, acculturation, and enculturation. CM is one form of internalized racism unique to PA. This systematic review indicated that CM has the potential to impact the BPSS well-being of PA. Recommendations for indigenizing practice and grounding future research in anticoloniality are provided, specifically through the restoration of kapwa, a core Pilipinx cultural value.

Jan 25th 2024, 17:23

Canada’s decriminalisation of assisted death has elicited significant ethical implications for the use of assisted death in healthcare contexts. Euthanasia by removal of vital organs (ERVO) is a theoretical extension of medically assisted death with an increased plausibility of implementation in light of the rapid expansion of assisted death eligibility laws and criteria in Canada. ERVO entails removing organs from a living patient under general anaesthesia as the mechanism of death. While ERVO is intended to maximise the viability of organs procured from the euthanised patient for donation to recipients, ending the lives of patient donors in this manner solely to benefit ill or dying recipient patients merits further ethical consideration. Specifically, the paper explores the application of personalist bioethics in determining whether the means of procuring organs through assisted death justifies the end of improving the lives of those who would benefit from receiving them. Further, by discussing the medical, social and ethical implications of ERVO, I will explicate a broader philosophical understanding of the influences of legalising assisted death on human dignity and conscience.

Jan 25th 2024, 17:22

Objectives
Poor prognosis and lack of effective therapeutic options have made palliative care an integral part of the management of severe COVID-19. However, clinical studies on the role of palliative care in severe COVID-19 patients are lacking. The objective of our study was to evaluate the utility of palliative care in intubated COVID-19 patients and its impact on in-hospital outcomes.
Methods
Rate of palliative care consult, patient-level variables (age, sex, race, income, insurance type), hospital-level variables (region, type, size) and in-hospital outcome variables (mortality, cost, disposition, complications) were recorded.
Results
We retrospectively analysed 263 855 intubated COVID-19 patients using National Inpatient Sample database from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020. 65 325 (24.8%) patients received palliative care consult. Factors associated with an increased rate of palliative care consults included: female gender (p<0.001), older age (p<0.001), Caucasian race (p<0.001), high household income (p<0.001), Medicare insurance (p<0.001), admission to large-teaching hospitals (p<0.001), patients with underlying comorbidities, development of in-hospital complications and the need for intensive care procedures. Patients receiving palliative consults had shorter hospital length of stay (LOS) (p<0.001) and no difference in hospitalisation cost (p=0.15).
Conclusions
Palliative care utilisation rate in intubated COVID-19 patients was reflective of disease severity and disparities in healthcare access. Palliative care may help reduce hospital LOS. Our findings also highlight importance of improving access to palliative care services and its integration into the multidisciplinary management of severe COVID-19 patients.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/journal-article-abstracts/jme-2023-109386v2/) Should vaccination status be a consideration during secondary triage?
Jan 25th 2024, 17:21

The rapid development of widely available and effective vaccines has been integral to the international response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, a significant minority of those offered vaccination have refused, often due to their adherence to ‘anti-vax’ beliefs. These beliefs include that vaccines are dangerous, render the recipient magnetic or contain government microchips.
During the pandemic, numerous calls were made for those voluntarily refusing vaccination to be deprioritised when allocating scarce healthcare resources. While these calls were rejected, the likelihood of the same calls being made during future pandemics necessitates a thorough examination of the ethical implications entailed by such a policy.
Here, I consider an intuitive argument for the use of vaccination status when allocating healthcare resources. This argument claims that, by avoiding vaccination, vaccine refusers are failing to fulfil a social obligation to protect those around them from harm by facilitating herd immunity. They are, therefore, less deserving of healthcare than their vaccinated peers.
I explore three objections to this argument. While a first objection, asserting that no individual can be held responsible for a failure to develop herd immunity, fails, I find two further responses, respectively asserting the primacy of patient autonomy and highlighting the harms deprioritising vaccine refusers would cause to disadvantaged minorities, compelling. I, therefore, conclude that vaccination status should not be considered during healthcare resource allocation, as such discrimination would disproportionately harm marginalised communities.

The effects of condomless vaginal sex and lubricant use on the vaginal metabolome
The vaginal metabolome plays a key role in urogenital health. This study analysed changes in the vaginal metabolome before and after condomless sex with and without lubricant using self-collected mid-vaginal swabs from 44 reproductive-age women. Condomless vaginal sex and lubricant use did not significantly impact the global vaginal metabolome. However, both independently increased concentrations of metabolites indicative of oxidative stress, epithelial damage (eg, sarcosine) and host-produced antioxidants. Stress-related metabolites were positively correlated with bacterial vaginosis-associated bacteria and negatively correlated with protective lactobacilli. The findings point to the need for safer lubricant formulations that protect the female reproductive tract.

Jan 25th 2024, 17:19

Traumatology, Vol 29(4), Dec 2023, 458-469; doi:10.1037/trm0000407
There is an established association between posttrauma symptom severity (PTSS) and attachment insecurity (anxiety and avoidance). However, few studies have examined this association among community samples of trauma-exposed individuals and identified factors that might moderate these associations. We sought to (a) replicate existing associations between PTSS and attachment insecurity in a community sample of trauma survivors and (b) determine the potential moderating role of support-seeking and coping behaviors. Our sample included 824 trauma-exposed individuals (MPCL-5 = 31.6, SD = 20.0; Mage = 37.4, SD = 13.2; 69.3% female; 79.1% White; 77.2% heterosexual). Participants completed an online survey via Amazon Mechanical Turk. Linear regression and moderation analyses tested the association between PTSS and attachment insecurity and whether support-seeking and coping behaviors moderated these associations. PTSS was positively associated with global attachment anxiety (β = .48, 95% confidence interval [.42, .54]) and global attachment avoidance (β = .06, [.15, .29]). The association between PTSS and attachment avoidance was weaker for people who reported greater instrumental and emotional support-seeking or greater active coping. This study provides evidence for the association between PTSS and attachment insecurity. Findings underscore the need to understand causal mechanisms underlying this association and critically evaluate how existing and future interventions can buffer attachment insecurity in trauma-exposed individuals.

Jan 25th 2024, 15:38

Abstract
Public policy initiatives, opinion surveys, and public rhetoric in Canada suggest people wish to die at home. Discourse analysis of statements, policies, reports, and websites of municipal, provincial, and federal governments show how public policy narratives reflect specific understandings of dying at home. Dying is positioned as best kept within the private “home” space. Though frequently framed as a choice, subtle rhetoric also prioritizes home as the ideal place for care at the end of life, and death. Home death preferences are naturalized as common-sense. Along with more nuance in policy communications, transparency in how evidence informs policy is needed.
Sommaire
Les mesures de politiques publiques, les sondages d’opinion et le discours public au Canada laissent entendre que les gens souhaitent mourir chez eux. L’analyse du discours des déclarations, des politiques, des rapports et des sites Web gouvernementaux au palier municipal, provincial et fédéral indique comment les récits de politiques publiques reflètent des compréhensions particulières sur le fait de mourir chez soi. La mort est préférable dans l’espace privé de la « maison ». Bien que souvent présentée comme un choix, une rhétorique subtile donne également la priorité au domicile comme lieu idéal pour les soins en fin de vie et le décès. Les préférences en matière de décès à domicile sont naturalisées comme du bon sens. Avec plus de nuances dans les communications de politiques, la transparence est nécessaire dans la manière dont les données probantes étayent les politiques.
