Up to 70% of SGM individuals report healthcare discrimination, which may cause additional challenges for SGM people living with chronic illness including avoiding necessary healthcare. The extant literature highlights how healthcare discrimination is associated with depressive symptoms and treatment nonadherence. However, there is limited evidence on the underlying mechanisms between healthcare discrimination and treatment adherence among SGM people living with chronic illness.Methods: Among a sample of SGM individuals living with chronic illness (n = 149) recruited from social media, the current study examined the mediating roles of anticipated discrimination and depressive symptoms on the relation between healthcare discrimination and treatment adherence in a serial mediation model.Results: We found that healthcare discrimination was associated with greater anticipated discrimination, increased depressive symptoms, and, in turn, poorer treatment adherence. Conclusion: These findings highlight the association between minority stress and both depressive symptoms and treatment adherence among SGM individuals living with chronic illness. Addressing institutional discrimination and the consequences of minority stress may improve treatment adherence among SGM individuals living with chronic illness.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"304-320"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9668691","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}

What is less clear is the differential effectiveness of this technique depending on the task, and the degree of children engagement with the distracting task. The present work examined the role of flow (state of intense concentration and absorption in the distracting task) on children's preoperative anxiety.Methods: Anxiety and flow in a distracting activity were measured in a sample of 100 children (3 to 10 years-old), at two critical moments of the preoperative period prior to ambulatory surgery under general anesthesia (phase 1: up to separation from the parents; phase 2: up to general anesthesia). Common negative postoperative outcomes were also measured.Results: As expected, the analysis showed a negative association between the mean level of flow in the distracting activity during waiting periods and the preoperative anxiety of children at critical moments in the two phases (although there was no effect on postoperative recovery).Conclusion: These findings demonstrate the importance of considering the degree of engagement in the distracting activity to understand the effectiveness of this strategy. The results may help provide guidance for better clinical application of this method.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"321-340"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9572333","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}

Internal consistency was evaluated by Cronbach's Alpha, item-to-rest correlation, and scale-to-scale Pearson correlation.Results: The EFA suggested reasonable fits for both a three-factor and four-factor model, confirmed by the CFA with acceptable goodness-of-fit indices for both models. Using the four-factor-model would require a re-evaluation of the scale. The three-factor model had admissible internal consistency with an overall Cronbach's alpha of 0.66. Individuals with low self-rated health, extreme concern about current health and poor physical fitness, respectively, had lower Approach and higher Diversion and Resignation scores.Conclusion: The psychometric properties showed that the Danish BACQ could be used as a three-factor model.

Surf therapy is a novel form of intervention targeting mental health. The objective of this study was to interrogate programme theory within surf therapy, as delivered by the Waves of Wellness Foundation (WOW) in Australia.Methods and measures: The study utilised grounded theory to understand or develop theoretical mediators for WOW surf therapy based on interviews exploring the experiences of previous intervention participants (n = 16; mean age = 18.4 years, SD = 2.8, range 14-24). Data were analysed through constant comparative analysis.Results: Five categories emerged from participant data as foundational to WOW programme theory: (a) Safe Space, (b) Social Support, (c) Sensory Grounding, (d) Mastery and (e) Respite. These categories have novel theoretical and practical implications for both surf therapy and wider clinical practice, especially around concepts such as delivering 'mental health by stealth' and fostering longer term 'mental health maintenance' for participants.Conclusion: The study developed an initial WOW programme theory, highlighting the importance of foundational therapeutic structures beyond simply going surfing.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"231-253"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9568408","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}

Because of a lower-than-expected rate of recovery, such unrealistic goals have been linked to adverse effects on mental health. Additionally, overtraining due to overly ambitious goals can lead to suboptimal recovery. We investigated the effectiveness of adjusting rehabilitation goals to a more realistic level as a strategy to select appropriate exercise intensity and achieve better recovery outcomes. Design: Patients with arm paralysis from recent stroke were recruited and went through 6-8 weeks of telerehabilitation and in-clinic rehabilitation programme conducted at 11 US sites (N = 124). Main Outcome Measures: Adjustment of recovery goal was assessed in two timepoints during the rehabilitation programme and arm motor function was assessed before and after the clinical trial. Results: Greater use of goal adjustment strategies predicted better recovery of arm motor function, independent from therapy compliance. This pattern was observed only when the choice of exercises is patient-regulated rather than directed by a physical therapist. Conclusion: Benefits from goal adjustment were more pronounced among patients who entered the programme with poorer motor functions, suggesting that goal adjustment is the most beneficial when goals of complete recovery are most unrealistic.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"175-191"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9461987","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}
