The purpose of this study was to investigate key psychosocial factors that may increase the risk for stunting. Within this observational study, 162 mothers living in rural Tanzania completed a cross-sectional quantitative survey measuring parental substance use, intimate partner violence (IPV) and mothers' mental health (i.e., depression/anxiety). One month after survey completion, children's height and weight were measured in triplicate to assess for childhood stunting. Sequential mediation revealed that parental alcohol use (b = 0.03, SE = 0.02, 95% CI [0.003, 0.08]) and alcohol-related consequences (b = 0.07, SE = 0.05, 95% CI [0.02, 0.20]) predicted greater IPV, which, in turn, was associated with elevated maternal mental health problems and ultimately childhood stunting. This study helps to clarify the pathways through which psychosocial risk factors confer heightened risk for childhood undernutrition. Going forward, this knowledge may also help to inform preventative interventions intended to reduce childhood stunting.","PeriodicalId":51355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"13591053261442341"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147845912","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}

Although low subjective status manipulations during adulthood have triggered unhealthy food choices, causal effects on food choices during adolescence are unclear. In two preregistered online experiments, adolescents aged 14-17 years compared their families to those with higher socioeconomic statuses (n = 473) and themselves to those with higher social statuses in their schools (n = 775) and completed a food choice task. There were inconsistent effects of the subjective status manipulations on subjective statuses, and no statistically significant effects on food choices, in adolescents. Longitudinal studies examining fluctuations in subjective socioeconomic and social statuses and food choices across the school years, or experiments with alternative manipulations, are needed to examine potential influences of subjective statuses on food choices in adolescents.","PeriodicalId":51355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"13591053261442340"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147845848","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 mixed-methods study examined the impact of endometriosis on family life, with a focus on parenting. Women completed an online survey including three open-ended questions, analysed using Template Thematic Analysis. Quantitative analyses included t-tests comparing parents and non-parents on mental health and social outcomes, and multiple regressions examining whether variables correlated to endorsement of themes. Fewer participants were parents compared with the general Australian population. Parents and non-parents reported comparable levels of pain and psychological distress. Parents reported greater friend support, while non-parents reported higher relationship satisfaction. Four themes were identified: early family planning influenced by medical advice; functional and emotional consequences for parents and children; challenges to romantic relationships; and ripple effects on family and social life. Pain severity predicted pre-conception impacts, and partner support predicted broader family and social effects, while psychological distress was unrelated to theme endorsement.","PeriodicalId":51355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"13591053261443279"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147823249","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}

We adopted phenomenology to explore women's experiences of menopause symptoms. Four women self-identifying as peri-menopausal, menopausal or post-menopausal completed an autophotography task and semi-structured online interviews. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis generated four themes: Adrift on a sea of confusion summarized women's worries and uncertainty about change; Planning for uncharted waters recounted unfamiliar symptoms and \"relief\" of \"diagnosis\"; Going with the flow describes acceptance of change; and Toward calmer currents revealed an emerging coherent identity. Women's menopause experiences were both positive and challenging. Epistemic injustice, experienced through poor services and healthcare professional knowledge, delayed help-seeking. Phenomenological theory explained coexisting incommensurate feelings of psychological distress and growing resilience. Reconstructing menopause as opportunity for growth in older womanhood would benefit women's quality of life. To facilitate earlier help-seeking and access to treatment, societal and professional education needs strengthening to include the breadth of menopause symptoms.","PeriodicalId":51355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"13591053261437578"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147823291","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 narrative analysis approach enabled the collection of multi-layered and rich insights into the lived experiences of Melanie, a doctor who has had a SCI for over 6 years. Melanie's woven narrative showcases the complex interplay between PTG and PTD, with her adjustment to a new way of living being described as 'an ongoing journey'. We highlight Melanie's emergence of PTG as well as the challenges she has faced in the aftermath of her SCI. The findings represented by five themes: Adapting to a new way of living; Recognising what matters; Relationships and the two sides of its coin; The personal nature of spirituality; and Reflections: 'we are a hard population to talk to' demonstrate the coexistence of PTG and PTD in the aftermath of a traumatic event. Future research should explore this further, given the potential implications for the provision of holistic and person-centred SCI rehabilitation strategies.","PeriodicalId":51355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"13591053261437580"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147823244","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 with seven women aged 25-64 who had received diagnoses through the UK cervical screening program, using a framework based on the Common-Sense Model of Illness Representations. Reflexive thematic analysis revealed varied emotional responses shaped by prior knowledge, health history, and support systems. Limited awareness of HPV frequently led to heightened anxiety and distress, exacerbated by unclear result communication and challenges within the screening process. Participants engaged in information-seeking behaviours post-diagnosis; while some found reassurance, others encountered confusing or inaccurate content online. Findings underscore the complex relationship between HPV understanding and patient experience, highlighting the need for improved public health education, clearer communication strategies, and holistic, patient-centred support.","PeriodicalId":51355,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"13591053261444564"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147823354","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}
