The research team employed directed qualitative content analysis to analyze interview data.Results: Five themes emerged: a) inconsistent access to PrEP and PrEP knowledge, b) need for improving low PrEP awareness, c) managing hesitancy to prescribe or use PrEP, d) perceived HIV vulnerability and inherent stigma, and e) normalizing PrEP as part of routine sexual healthcare to increase uptake and maintenance. Interviews revealed an openness towards PrEP as an HIV prevention strategy for AA, cisgender women in Alabama.Conclusion: Improving PrEP uptake and maintenance among AA women in the U.S. South must go beyond increasing awareness to improving PrEP access and trust through visibility of AA women's PrEP use and incorporating PrEP education and services into routine sexual healthcare.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1443-1462"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11374930/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140028745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This pilot trial evaluated the acceptability and feasibility of a cognitive-behavioural intervention targeting risk factors for post-surgical pain among patients scheduled for TKA (UTN: U1111-1243-1067/ACTRN12621001095853).Methods: Patients with elevated expectations of post-surgical pain and anxiety were recruited from TKA waiting lists. Treatment was remotely delivered by a psychologist over 3 sessions, supported by online and written resources. Eligibility, recruitment and completion rates, and perceptions of treatment were collected. Pain, disability, pain- and treatment-expectations, self-efficacy and catastrophizing were measured pre- and post- intervention.Results: Of 241 people pre-screened, 144 were invited to complete screening, 51 declined, 58 did not meet inclusion criteria, 35 enrolled, and 30 completed the trial. Satisfaction ratings were high, and participants found the content understandable, useful and relevant. Pre to post treatment scores for pain intensity and pain catastrophizing improved with small effect sizes.Conclusions: A psychological intervention is acceptable to patients awaiting TKA and may lead to small improvements in pain-relevant outcomes. An RCT aimed at reducing persistent post-surgical pain by combining cognitive behavioural therapy with physical therapy and medical optimisation is planned.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144966303","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, navigating healthcare with multimorbidity is typically disjointed due to complexities in treatment, management, and service provision. This study sought to examine how older patients navigate healthcare whilst living with multimorbidity.Methods and measures: Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with five older adults, aged 65 or older, living with multimorbidity in residential care in England. An Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis was undertaken.Results: Overall, participants experienced navigating healthcare whilst living with multimorbidity as challenging. Group Experiential Themes included 'Health knowledge and understanding', 'Relationships and expectations' and 'Navigating health care with a single lens'. Collectively these themes represented narratives involving how having limited understanding of health conditions, experiencing challenges in communication with health professionals, and receiving segmented care in a health care system driven by a single condition focus interfered with navigation.Conclusion: These findings highlight experiences of older adults living with multimorbidity navigating healthcare and illustrate several ways older adults living with multimorbidity may be supported to navigate services with less challenges.

This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the relationship between self-compassion and HRQoL in individuals with endometriosis in Aotearoa New Zealand. Resilience and perceived symptom severity were examined as potential mediators.Methods and measures: Six hundred and three individuals with endometriosis completed an online questionnaire measuring demographic and endometriosis-related information, endometriosis symptoms (number and severity), HRQoL, self-compassion and resilience.Results: In line with international research, the current sample reported significant impairment in all aspects of HRQoL. As expected, those with higher levels of self-compassion reported less impairment in HRQoL, and this relationship was partially mediated by perceived symptom severity (all aspects of HRQoL). Resilience mediated the relationship between self-compassion and two aspects of HRQoL (emotional wellbeing and control/powerlessness).Conclusion: These findings confirm that HRQoL is significantly impaired in individuals with endometriosis in Aotearoa New Zealand and point to the potential role of self-compassion and resilience as protective factors in encouraging positive coping styles to manage symptoms and maintain high HRQoL. Interventions targeting self-compassion may be a promising tool to improve wellbeing in individuals with endometriosis.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1479-1496"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140111177","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}

TST constructs (i.e. PA beliefs, intention, behavioral prepotency, self-regulatory capacity) were measured via self-report measures. PA was subsequently assessed over a 7-day period with waist-worn Actigraph GT9X. Robust linear regression models and generalized linear mixed models tested the association between PA beliefs and intention, and the associations between intention, behavioral prepotency, self-regulatory capacity and device-measured PA at baseline and 18-months.Results: Short-term positive beliefs were associated with intention at baseline and 18-months, whereas short-term negative beliefs were associated with intention at 18-months only. Intention was associated with moderate/vigorous PA (MVPA) minutes and bouted MVPA at baseline and 18-months. The intention by self-regulatory capacity interaction was significant at baseline.Conclusion: Findings lend some support for the use of TST for understanding PA and suggest that short-term beliefs about PA may represent a meaningful target for intervention.","PeriodicalId":20718,"journal":{"name":"Psychology & Health","volume":" ","pages":"1569-1586"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11543920/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140892296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experts have warned of a 'crisis in osteoporosis treatment', calling for research on psychological processes underlying medication decisions. We observed that people's tendency to judge the lower risk of action (i.e. side effects) as worse than the higher risk of inaction (i.e. osteoporotic fracture) may be consistent with an omission bias. The present work explored psychological predictors of this phenomenon.Methods: Two online studies were conducted with samples of female participants at risk for osteoporosis. Study 1 (N = 245) examined willingness to accept bisphosphonates in a series of risk statements as well as beliefs associated with medication acceptance. Study 2 (N = 396) randomly assigned participants to review educational (versus control) materials targeting these beliefs.Results: In Study 1, 83% of participants exhibited an omission bias, and participants' willingness to accept medication was associated with certain beliefs (e.g. medication efficacy, susceptibility).
