Public health initiatives have evaluated nonmedical factors to determine whether they have a broader influence on physical health than traditional medicine, especially in reproductive care. These factors, referred to as social determinants of health (SDOH), affect a variety of medical conditions, have an impact on medical strategies, and suggest that traditional medicine may be more limited than commonly thought. The purpose of this article, therefore, is threefold: First, it will offer a general review of selected components of current SDOH that act as nonmedical factors in health and behavioral wellness. Second, it will present specific SODH and their impact on contraceptive and prenatal care. Finally, it will highlight SODH policies that either enhance or impede the ability of health systems to deliver innovative reproductive services to underserved populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":51683,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic","volume":"87 2","pages":"189-208"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9576523","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}

This study aimed to examine the relationship between domains of personality dysfunction, including self- and interpersonal functioning, and loneliness and determine whether such personality factors mediate the relationship between childhood parental indifference and loneliness. In total, 393 community-dwelling adults, mean age 34.3 (SD = 12.67), were recruited online for cross-sectional assessment of loneliness, personality functioning, big-five personality traits and perceived childhood parental indifference. Linear regression analyses were conducted followed by a parallel mediation model. Self- and interpersonal dysfunction were positively associated with loneliness and remained significant predictors of loneliness after controlling for five-factor personality traits. Impaired personality functioning accounted for 12% of loneliness variance. Finally, self-dysfunction mediated the relationship between childhood parental indifference and loneliness. Findings emphasize the importance of addressing personality functioning when developing psychosocial interventions aimed at tackling loneliness.","PeriodicalId":51683,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic","volume":"87 3","pages":"266-290"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10222231","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}

Analyses examined the influences of each symptom variable on QoL and the mediating role of depression as an indirect link between unacceptable thoughts (UT) and QoL. Depressive symptoms had a significant negative relationship with multiple domains of functioning. Generalized anxiety was not significant. Higher endorsement of UT symptoms was related to lower physical, emotional, and social QoL. Depression partially mediated the relationship between UT symptoms and physical, emotional, and social health. Depressive symptoms are important to consider in clinical work surrounding OCD.
