Millions have been affected, and while many have recovered, a growing number of recovered COVID-19 patients are reportedly facing neurological symptoms, described as “slow thinking,” “difficulty in focusing,” “confusion,” “lack of concentration,” “forgetfulness,” or “haziness in thought process.” These experiences of mental fatigue, associated with and related to mild cognitive impairments, may be conceptually defined as “brain fog.” Objective To study the prevalence and severity of these brain fog symptoms in COVID-19 recovered patients, and examining their association with age, gender, and COVID-19 symptom severity. Methods A total of 300 patients who tested positive for Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase–Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) for SARSCoV-2 during April–August 2020 were included in our study after complete recovery from their acute illness. They were assessed for brain fog symptoms using the 9-item validated Wood’s mental fatigue inventory. Results/Conclusions The overall cumulative prevalence of any components of brain fog was 34%, with a mean score of 6.11 ± 1.7 in those who experienced it. Males were more affected than females (42.3% vs. 29.1%) with males scoring higher than females. The mean score was higher in severe ill and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients and those who required oxygen or were on a ventilator.","PeriodicalId":46170,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH","volume":"51 1","pages":"142 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46657940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The integration of Indigenous mental health and addictions (IMHA) workers into mainstream mental health services has been adopted to provide more culturally appropriate services, and address health disparities. However, processes for utilizing the role and strategies for supporting this workforce are unclear. This study aimed to understand the experiences of IMHA workers in two Metropolitan Hospital and Health Services (HHSs) to assist in the development of policy and workforce support strategies. Methodology In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with IMHA workers (n = 17) and analyzed thematically. Results The IMHA workforce is extremely valuable, but complex, and confronted by challenging systemic barriers. Experiences of isolation, lack of cultural safety, and limits on practice are common. This situation creates difficulty for the IMHA workers and undermines their effectiveness to work in ways preferred by the IMHA workers. Conclusion Enhancing cultural safety for the IMHA workforce is a crucial precursor to achieving culturally appropriate service provision for Indigenous consumers. The interaction of cultural safety for IMHA workers with consumer outcomes and experiences is an important area for future research.","PeriodicalId":46170,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH","volume":"51 1","pages":"77 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47441837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Concerns about physical and psychological wellbeing had increased across the world with women disproportionately being affected. This research was set to explore the triggers of mental health distress among women during COVID-19 lockdown. The research study utilized a qualitative descriptive approach. Forty (N = 40) women were recruited to take part in the research study. A one to one semi structured interview schedule was used to collect data. NVivo Version 11, QSR International Pty was utilized to organize data for analysis. Content analysis was used to identify, describe, and make inferences about the qualitative data generated. Findings from new interviews were compared for consensus and disagreement. Categories were then collapsed and analyzed into clusters from which concepts and themes were developed. The research study found that the triggers for mental health distress among the research participants included domestic violence, loss of employment, stress of managing children indoors, fear of COVID-19 infection, loneliness and poor access to health services. There is need to consider radical sensitive approaches in preventing triggers of mental health distress among women.","PeriodicalId":46170,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH","volume":"51 1","pages":"117 - 130"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41910981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis used the all-inclusive ED data from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, which reports patient demographic characteristics, diagnoses, location, and disposition. Facility characteristics were compiled from the Hospital Financial dataset published by the same agency. The latter data set allowed calculation of a cost-to-charge ratio for each facility to derive an estimate of the patient care cost. ED patient cases with PTSD (n = 83,346) were matched to controls using an exact neighbor algorithm based on the principal reason for the ED visit, age, gender, race, ethnicity, insurance status and type, and geographic region. In addition to the variables used for matching controls to cases, the analysis used multiple variable regression to control for additional variation based on facility characteristics and physiologic condition. Finally, the model included county fixed effects to the model to further account for the influence of facility and geographic factors. The results show that patients with PTSD spent significantly more time on average in the ED (X minutes). However, patient care facility costs did not change significantly compared to non-PTSD patients. Visit time and costs differed significantly based on demographic characteristics, insurance type and status, preexisting comorbidities, and hospital type. While direct ED related costs do not rise with a PTSD diagnosis, longer visit times imply increased resource use.","PeriodicalId":46170,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH","volume":"52 1","pages":"61 - 69"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42204678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, there are fewer studies on the factor structure of intolerance of uncertainty in non-western countries. In the present study, using confirmatory factor analysis, we studied the factor structure, measurement invariance, and psychometrics of the IUS-12 (Hindi version) on a sample of 862 college students (age: M = 21.42, SD = 3.1) in India. Results show that whereas the different models (i.e. the single-factor, the correlated two-factor, the truncated bi-factor, and the full bi-factor models) were a good fit with the data, the full bi-factor model was the best fitting model. The general factor was a stable and reliable construct that explained most of the variance and, thereby, showed the unidimensionality of the scale. In addition, there was strong measurement invariance in the IUS-12 across gender. Thus, the present study supports the reliability and validity of the IUS-12 and indicates cross-cultural validity of the intolerance of uncertainty. We have also discussed the implications of higher intolerance of uncertainty in India.","PeriodicalId":46170,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH","volume":"51 1","pages":"361 - 380"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47163464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although there is evidence of increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in PTSD, the interpretation of previous studies is confounded by inclusion of people on antipsychotic medications, which independently cause increased MetS. In this study we investigated whether Veterans with PTSD not treated with antipsychotic medications (n=115) demonstrate increased MetS compared to an age-comparable group of people from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHNES; n=1005). Using standardized criteria (abnormal values in 3 out of the 5 domains of obesity, hypertension, high density lipoprotein, triglyceride and fasting glucose concentrations) we compared the prevalence of MetS across groups. Relative to the NHNES group, a significantly higher proportion of the Veteran PTSD group met criteria for MetS (26.9% vs. 41.7%) with a higher proportion of abnormal values in four out of five MetS domains (excepting glucose). Our results suggest that the elevation of MetS associated with PTSD cannot be fully explained by iatrogenic effects of antipsychotic medication.
