Both positive childhood experiences (PCEs) and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can have repercussions throughout adulthood. The literature shows that ACEs can increase psychopathological symptoms, such as obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS), whereas PCEs can protect against psychopathology. Difficulties in emotional regulation (DER) may also contribute to the development of obsessive-compulsive symptoms.Aims: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between PCEs, ACEs, and OCS. Biological sex differences were examined across variables. The study also analyzed whether DER mediates the relationships between PCEs and OCS, and between ACEs and OCS.Methods: The sample consisted of 206 adults (168 women and 38 men). Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Benevolent Childhood Experiences Scale, the Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form, and the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised.Results: Significant relationships were observed between the variables, and sex differences in OCS were found. DER partially mediated the relationship between PCEs and OCS. DER also partially mediated the relationship between emotional neglect and OCS.Conclusion: These results highlight the importance of positive and adverse childhood experiences for the development of OCS, as well as the mediating role of DER in these associations.","PeriodicalId":48135,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mental Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149012499","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}

However, the effectiveness of different colouring formats remains unclear.Aims: This study evaluated a self-guided mindful colouring intervention for university student wellbeing, comparing outcomes between paper and digital formats.Methods: In this quasi-experimental study (non-random time-based allocation), 297 participants between 18-26 years of age completed ≥6 colouring sessions over two weeks in their allocated format (paper: n = 134; digital: n = 163). Participants self-reported perceived stress (PSS), anxiety (STAI-S/T), depression (HADS-D), quality-of-life (MQLI), and dispositional mindfulness (MAAS). Effects over time and group were investigated with linear mixed‑effects models.Results: Across both groups, mindful colouring was associated with significant improvements in stress (η2p = .26), mindfulness (η2p = .10), quality-of-life (η2p = .12), and self-reported symptoms of depression (η2p = .17), trait anxiety (η2p = .16), and state anxiety (η2p = .03). Results highlight that poorer baseline wellbeing led to larger improvements. There were no significant time x group interactions.Conclusions: Mindful colouring is a feasible, low-cost, scalable intervention that is associated with improved student wellbeing over two weeks. Digital colouring may therefore be suitable to enhance accessibility and portability of intervention materials in resource-limited settings.","PeriodicalId":48135,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mental Health","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148992101","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}

Aims: To analyze the effects of a school-based physical exercise intervention on adolescents' mental health. Methods and materials: A 12-week cluster randomized controlled study was conducted in two public schools in Brazil. The intervention included structured physical exercise sessions within Physical Education classes, twice a week, for 20 minutes per lesson. The intensity of the exercises was monitored via heart rate sensor. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - Short Form (DASS-21) was used to measure symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Multilevel linear mixed models were used to evaluate the effects of the intervention on mental health indicators. Results: A total of 131 adolescents were included in the analysis (52.7% female; age 13.2 ± 0.90).

Included studies were mapped by location, design, and program characteristics, then narratively synthesized.Results: The initial search yielded 8820 articles, of which twenty met inclusion criteria. Programs reflected diverse therapeutic orientations, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and recovery-based models. Participation in DTPs was associated with reduced psychiatric symptoms, improved functioning, and enhanced quality of life. Common therapeutic factors included structured routines, group-based interventions, milieu therapy, person-centered care, and coordination with community and mental health services. Patient satisfaction was generally high, though concerns regarding continuity of care post-discharge were noted.Conclusion: Transdiagnostic DTPs across therapeutic orientations appear effective in promoting recovery in adults with mental illness.

Ordinal logistic regression examined associations between social variables and service use.Results: Social isolation was consistently linked to greater use of healthcare services, increasing the odds of both primary care (OR = 1.07) and emergency department attendance (OR = 1.10, both p < .001). Conversely, higher social integration modestly increased primary care use (OR = 1.04, p = .02) but was not significantly related to emergency department visits (OR = 1.02, p = .34).Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of addressing social isolation within healthcare policies to reduce service strain and improve patient outcomes.
