The participants ranged in age from 32 to 66 years, with an average age of 44 years. The group consisted of 10 women and 7 men.Results: We found two major themes and seven subthemes around positive experiences and benefits as motivations for using e-bikes.Conclusions: From analyzing the data, themes and subthemes were identified. The results are divided into two major themes: Experience of well-being and Benefits in everyday life, which consist of four and three subthemes respectively. In keeping with self-determination theory, the interpretation was that participants' basic psychological needs were satisfied by using e-bikes, which, in turn, improved well-being and sustainable motivation. The study showed that the opportunity to borrow an e-bike can be a good way to promote motivation for active transportation, appeasing traffic congestions in current infrastructure, and also promoting human health.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143711073","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}

A total of 52 eligible studies were identified.Results: We observed several barriers in the endometriosis management: the perception of patients as challenging and psychosomatic; lack of awareness and medical knowledge; persistent taboos and biases; challenging communication about pain, pregnancy, and infertility; lack of empathy from HCPs; and barriers in diagnostic tools and healthcare accessibility. Key facilitators were HCPs and community awareness; taking patients' symptoms seriously; compassionate communication about fertility and pain; shared decision-making, encouraging patients to seek evidence-based information; and multidisciplinary support.Conclusion: We were able to identify concrete barriers and facilitators to successful endometriosis management. Future research is now required to identify optimal ways to implement this evidence, and research the extent to which it applies to more diverse populations in non-Western setting, and to explore the impact of HCP demographic characteristics.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-39"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143664381","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}

This systematic review assessed the effectiveness of client-centred counselling for weight management in Black African women with overweight and obesity in high-income countries, identifying culturally tailored strategies and theoretical underpinnings.Methods and Measures: This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, with nine databases searched from 1970 to June 2022.Results: Twenty-two studies were included, 91% (n = 20) of which reported positive effects on weight loss. Face-to-face and a combination of in-person and telephone client-centred counselling were found effective. Although the optimal treatment duration was unclear, interventions lasting six to twelve months were most beneficial. Interventions were delivered by registered dietitians, physicians, nutritionists, and health coaches. Most interventions (n = 14) were informed by social cognitive theory, with 19 studies incorporating cultural adaptations such as language considerations, socio-cultural values, constituent involvement, and leveraging target group experiences. Studies using at least two cultural adaptation strategies were more likely to be effective.Conclusion: Client-centred counselling appears promising for weight management in Black African women with overweight or obesity. Long-term follow-up studies are needed to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of these interventions in this population over time.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-32"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143606084","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}

While various theories have been proposed to explain physical activity behaviour, most focus on explicit cognitions such as intention. The aim of this study is to apply the Multi-Process Action Control(M-PAC) model to Korean university students, examining the entire process from intention formation to behaviour implementation, while also investigating the predictive utility of the M-PAC framework for explaining physical activity behaviour.Methods: A total of 330 participants completed baseline surveys, which assessed constructs outlined in the M-PAC framework. One month later, 234 participants completed a follow-up survey to measure physical activity.Results: The study found that affective attitude, perceived opportunity and capability were significant predictors of intention in the reflective process. Intention, in turn, predicted physical activity through the sequential mediation of behavioural regulation in the regulatory process and identity and habit in the reflexive process, aligning with the theoretical flow of the M-PAC framework.Conclusion: The study highlights the roles of behavioural regulation, identity, and habit in translating intention into sustained physical activity. These findings underscore the need for interventions targeting both intention formation and the processes that sustain long-term engagement in physical activity.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143586753","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}

Specifically, we examined factorial structure, reliability, measurement invariance, convergent and predictive validity in respect to reported physical activity.Methods and measures: In Study 1, 285 participants completed the 40-item PALMS, and in Study 2, 638 adolescents completed a shorter measure derived from Study 1, along with the Behavioural Regulation in Sport Questionnaire (BRSQ).Results: Factor analysis in Study 1 indicated that a short seven-factor measure, called PALMS-21, adequately captures adolescent participation motives. Study 2 demonstrated acceptable model fit (factor loadings >.30, RMSEA = .046, SRMR = .040), and reliability values above .740. Factor correlations between PALMS-21 and BRSQ supported convergent validity, with high positive correlations between enjoyment and intrinsic motivation. Measurement invariance was established across gender, age, and sport modality. Results showed evidence of predictive validity of the PALMS-21 in explaining variance in reported physical activity. Mediation analysis demonstrated a positive indirect effect from enjoyment to reported physical activity, via intention to be physically active.Conclusion: Taken together results suggest that the PALMS-21 is a valid and reliable measure of motives to engage in physical activity and sport. As such, the PALMS-21 could be used to provide personalized advice to individuals or to monitor the dynamics in participation motives over time, which could guide the development of effective interventions.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143586755","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}

Semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather detailed accounts of their diagnosis, treatment, and communication experiences.Results: Two primary themes emerged from the analysis. 'Challenges in obtaining accurate diagnosis and adequate treatment', reflected participants' feelings of invalidation and including sub-themes of 'medical mystery and misdiagnosis' and 'sex bias in healthcare'. 'Importance of trust in fibromyalgia management', highlighted the crucial role of trust in improving care, with sub-themes of 'positive impact of active listening' and 'improved trust over time'.Conclusion: This study highlights the need for a more patient-centred, compassionate, and collaborative approach to fibromyalgia management.

Being exposed to idealised content elicits self-othering, i.e. voices-of-the-self associated with postfeminist ideals devaluing various 'deficient' aspects of the self, and thus negative affects. To counter the adverse effects of self-othering, young women consume social media content aimed at normalising and thereby affectively re-integrating 'othered' aspects of the self. They also post selfies in order to be 'seen'. Our findings suggest that being negatively affected by social media requires young women to engage in ongoing affective labour to actively restore - if only temporarily - a sense of self-worth through social media use.Conclusion: The precariousness of the produced states of self-acceptance raises the question under what conditions social media use can have a positive impact on young women's self-understandings and thus psychological wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143567969","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}
