Thus, individuals may engage in informed decision making, balancing risks and benefits with their values. This study examines how different levels of informed decision making affect the relationship between individuals' momentary prioritization of HIV safety and the perceived safety of their choices. Additionally, it investigates the relationship between informed decision-making levels and choice variability.Methods and measures: 105 participants (104 cisgender men, 1 intersex man) provided safety evaluations for different sexual scenarios involving various HIV prevention strategies. Over six biweekly follow-ups, implemented strategies were reported and matched with safety evaluations, while assessing informed decision-making levels, impulsivity, and personal priority of safety.Results: Higher levels of informed decision making were associated with a weaker positive relationship between momentary prioritization of HIV safety and perceived safety of the chosen strategy, suggesting that perceived safety was less dependent on momentary prioritization of HIV safety. Further, informed decision-making levels were not associated with choice variability.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that informed HIV prevention decisions are associated with higher perceived safety and act compensatory towards low personal safety prioritizations. This highlights the importance of supporting informed HIV prevention decisions.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144317790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address the gap, this study applied the Behaviour Change Wheel framework, and identified barriers and enablers to alcohol reduction to inform the development of a novel intervention.Methods and measures: In a three round online Delphi study 310 women aged 40-65 years completed a survey including COM-B measures, and rated the acceptability of 12 clusters of BCTs; 33 women took part in focus group discussions, and 7 took part in a final workshop.Results: Automatic motivation (habits) and social opportunity (other people's drinking) were the strongest correlates of current drinking behaviour. BCT clusters rated highly were substitution, goals and planning, and identity. Focus groups highlighted the challenges of being a non-drinker in an 'alcogenic' world. Workshop findings suggested an intervention should promote connection with others, and include real life stories from women to promote behaviour change.Conclusions: Midlife women who choose to change their drinking behaviour may face social pressure and stigma. Interventions need to support women and reduce feelings of judgement: using storytelling may be a way to address these challenges.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144286398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the precise mechanisms through which trauma influences health outcomes are unclear. Childhood trauma-related disruptions to sleep in adulthood represent an important potential mechanism. Two 7-day multilevel studies investigated the effects of childhood trauma on daily sleep outcomes and stress-related variables and whether the effects of trauma on sleep outcomes were mediated through these stress-related variables (or vice versa). Participants completed the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire before a 7-day online daily diary study. Measures of daily stress, perseverative cognition, and sleep were completed daily. Multi-level modelling found that higher levels of childhood neglect were associated with poorer daily sleep quality, shorter sleep duration, longer sleep onset latency, and higher daily stress and rumination levels. Higher childhood abuse was associated with shorter sleep duration, greater morning tiredness, and higher levels of daily stress, rumination, and worry. Childhood trauma was found also to have bidirectional, indirect effects on sleep quality and morning tiredness through daily stress-related variables. The current findings suggest that interventions aimed at mitigating the negative effects of childhood trauma should also incorporate components that target modifiable risk factors, such as sleep, stress, worry, and rumination.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"975-996"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136398951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To come towards optimal treatment of multidimensional CRF, the first step is to use a holistic approach to develop a holistic patient profile including the patient's experience and impact of CRF on their life. Methods and measures: Four semi- structured focus groups with twenty- seven breast cancer patients and fourteen interviews with healthcare professionals (HCPs) were held. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to define (sub)themes for the holistic patient profile. The themes of the interviews and focus groups were compared for validity. Results: Breast cancer patients and HCPs described the same five major themes, consisting of experience of CRF, impact and consequences, coping, personality, and CRF treatment. Experience of CRF consists of cognitive, emotional, and physical aspects. Impact and consequences include work, family, partner relation, social contact and hobbies, body, and misunderstanding. Coping consists of twelve (mal)adaptive strategies. Personality and CRF treatment were summarised as themes. Conclusions: A first holistic patient profile was introduced for CRF for breast cancer. This profile can be conceptualized into a questionnaire to collect information for personalized treatment recommendations and monitoring of CRF over time.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1037-1061"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138806093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants recorded clinical visits through a downloadable mobile application. We analyzed 44 recordings from 22 patients: 9 who chose CPM, 8 who considered CPM but decided against it, and 5 who never considered CPM. We used abductive analysis combined with constructivist grounded theory methods.Results: Decisions to undergo CPM are patient-driven and motivated by perceptions that CPM is the most aggressive, and therefore safest, treatment option available. These decisions are shaped not primarily by the content of conversations with clinicians, but by the history of cancer in patients' families, their own first-hand experiences with cancers among loved ones, fear for their children, and anxiety about cancer recurrence.Conclusion: The perception that CPM is the safest, most aggressive option strongly influences patients, despite scientific evidence to the contrary.

The study included 796 German participants aged 16-35.Results: Men exhibited significantly poorer knowledge, stronger menstrual stigma, and weaker policy acceptance compared to women. No significant main effect of the social norm messages on menstrual stigma was found. In contrast, the combined norm messages seem to be beneficial when addressing policy acceptance.

Trait anxiety, fear of diagnosis, anticipating negative interactions with healthcare, and negative associations with screening procedures exacerbated avoidance. Participants justified information non-relevance by attributing risk to other people's characteristics such as family history, gastrointestinal symptoms, being male, or living an unhealthy lifestyle.Conclusion: Novel findings include the triggering influence of trait anxiety and financial constraints on information avoidance.
