Participants (n=54; 46 healthcare, 8 IT professionals) underwent pre- and post-intervention assessments using validated psychological scales and physiological measurements.Results: Results showed significant reductions in stress (Perceived Stress Scale [PSS], p=0.001) and anxiety (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS] anxiety, p=0.002) across all participants. Healthcare professionals demonstrated significant decreases in depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9, p=0.015), anxiety (HADS anxiety, p<0.001), and stress (PSS, p=0.001). Unexpectedly, weekday sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) worsened in the healthcare group (p=0.013). The IT group showed no significant changes, possibly due to the small sample size. Physiological measurements revealed significant differences between groups post-intervention, including melatonin levels (p=0.001) and electrocardiogram values (p=0.031), suggesting occupation-specific responses to VR interventions.Conclusion: Despite limitations such as unequal sample sizes, this study provides valuable insights into the potential of VR-based stress management programs. The findings underscore the need for occupation-specific approaches and further research with larger, balanced samples to validate these results and explore long-term effects.","PeriodicalId":21164,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Investigation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143720650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Average inter-item correlations, corrected item-total correlations, and internal consistency reliabilities of the measures fall within the recommended ranges. The data were found suitable to factorize the sample through exploratory factor analysis. To determine the structural validity of the measures, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was done, and the data had an adequate model fit for unifactorial solution. Multi-group CFA revealed that both measures can be applied in the same way across age and sex of the participants.Results: An inverse association of school connectedness with smoking susceptibility and positive association with anti-smoking awareness reflected the convergent validity of the measures. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that smoking susceptivity was negatively predicted by anti-smoking awareness and school connectedness whereas, positively predicted by self-esteem of the participants.Conclusion: The SSM and ASAS were found to be psychometrically sound tools to objectively measure never-smoking youths' smoking susceptibility and anti-smoking awareness, targeting effective intervention strategies to prevent adolescents and young adults from being a regular smoker.","PeriodicalId":21164,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Investigation","volume":"22 3","pages":"293-303"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143721291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sarcopenia not only has skeletal muscle dysfunction but also has neurocognitive dysfunction. At present, there is no research to explore the relationship between ADHD and skeletal muscle function. The purpose of this study is to explore whether there is a causal effect between ADHD and sarcopenia.Methods: In this study, genome-wide association study data of ADHD, appendicular lean mass (ALM), hand grip strength, and walking pace (WP) were extracted from public databases. The bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) method was employed to investigate the correlation between ADHD and sarcopenia-related indicators, and the inverse-variance weighted analysis as the primary analysis method.Results: Based on the forward MR analysis, a potential causal relationship exists between ADHD and ALM (odds ratio [OR]=1.020, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.012-1.029, p<0.001). The reverse MR analysis indicates a link between WP and the risk of ADHD (OR=2.712, 95% CI: 1.609-4.571, p<0.001), with an accelerated WP increasing the likelihood of ADHD. Nevertheless, other MR analysis results did not show significant differences.Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate an intricate causal relationship between ADHD and sarcopenia, suggesting the absence of a clear link. WP may be used as one of the indicators to evaluate the risk of ADHD. At the same time, we should pay more attention to the ALM of ADHD patients.","PeriodicalId":21164,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Investigation","volume":"22 3","pages":"304-310"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143721212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The internal consistency of Q-CHAT was 0.764 for the overall sample and 0.825 for the hospital sample. Q-CHAT total scores and item scores in the hospital sample remained stable across age groups, indicating age-invariant properties. The hospital sample showed higher endorsement of less favorable development in social interaction and reciprocity items compared to community sample. No difference in the Q-CHAT item scores was present among age groups in the hospital samples. In the community samples, item scores, such as comprehending a child's speech, using the hand of others as a tool, adapting to a change in routine, repeating the same action, and making unusual finger movements, decreased with the advance of age.Conclusion: The Korean version of the Q-CHAT demonstrates good validity and reliability and is effective in discriminating autistic traits even in children older than 24 months.

The objective of this research was to examine the correlation between objective physical activity (PA) with depression and stress among nurses, with a specific focus on the mediating role of resilience.Methods: This study employed the descriptive-correlation method. One-hundred twenty-seven nurses (76 women) working in hospitals in Bitlis province, Türkiye in 2023 were selected using a convenience sampling. To measure PA, depression, stress, and resilience, ActiGraph GT3X-BT accelerometer, Beck Depression Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale were utilized, respectively. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling.Results: Nurses, particularly women, experienced a moderate level of depression and stress. Moreover, the number of step counts was significantly higher in day vs. night shift. Overall, the nurses in this study, especially women, engaged in PA levels that were significantly below the international guidelines for adults (p<0.001). Additionally, higher intensity levels of PA (i.e., moderate PA [MPA] and vigorous PA [VPA]) were found to be linked with reduced levels of depression (β=-0.528, β=-0.410, respectively) and stress (β=-0.605, β=-0.531, respectively). Lastly, resilience was identified as a significant mediator in the correlation between MPA and VPA with depression and stress (p<0.05).Conclusion: These findings hold great significance as they demonstrate the positive impact of both resilience and PA on the mental well-being of nurses. It is advisable for healthcare authorities to formulate policies and strategies aimed at enhancing the overall stability and performance of the healthcare sector.","PeriodicalId":21164,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Investigation","volume":"22 3","pages":"311-319"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143721226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
