One key issue remains the absence of high-quality evidence of the effects of DBCIs for long-term health outcomes and unintended consequences. Here, we argue that in addition to better-quality evidence for effects on health, a more consideration of unintended consequences of DBCIs on multiple levels is warranted. Objectives: We suggest a multilevel perspective on unintended consequences of DBCIs building on a socio-ecological understanding of health promotion and prevention. Methods: Narrative literature review. Results: Unintended consequences of DBCIs can be located on the level of the individual engaging with DBCIs, on a level of social interactions, and on the level of health services, in multiple domains from health-related, behavior modification, affective aspects to data privacy and financial implications. Implications: Our proposed social–ecological perspective improves the classification of unintended consequences of DBCIs. This could facilitate building a cumulative evidence base to support the development of more effective and inclusive DBCIs.","PeriodicalId":51983,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Health Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141685180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aims: While previous studies have focused primarily on risk factors that increase the likelihood of behavioral problems, this study focuses on resources that contribute to positive development. Method: As part of the EMPOWERYOU research project, youth aged 11–18 years living in out-of-home care ( n = 79, living in foster and adoptive families and residential groups) and living with their biological families ( n = 71) participated in an online survey. Youth reported on their personal resources, internalizing and externalizing symptoms, and well-being. Results: Youth in out-of-home care reported significantly fewer personal resources, less well-being, and more internalizing and especially externalizing symptoms than youth growing up in their biological families. Path analysis results showed that high self-esteem and high self-control were associated with less externalizing symptoms. Lower empathy/perspective-taking and more self-esteem were associated with less internalizing symptoms. More optimism was associated with increased well-being. These relationships were independent of family placement as there was no moderating effect for placement type. Limitations: Potential limitations arise from focusing solely on self-report and using of a cross-sectional design. Conclusion: The results highlight the relevance of promoting the personal resources of youth in out-of-home care. Since the path analysis did not reveal moderation by family placement, possible interventions do not need to be specified for them, but (already existing) effective interventions can be used.","PeriodicalId":51983,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Health Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140792762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence suggests that illness perceptions and the physician-patient relationship may have a combined effect on treatment adherence. Aims: We investigated the roles of illness perceptions and the physician-patient relationship in medication and lifestyle modification adherence, and explained them using patients’ experiences with essential hypertension.Method: In this mixed methods explanatory sequential study, we used questionnaires to assess illness perceptions, the physician-patient relationship, and adherence to medication and lifestyle modification guidance ( N = 112) in the first quantitative phase. Based on the results of regression analyses, the second qualitative phase was planned. We collected data from three patients through interviews, observations and journals, and conducted within-case and cross-case analyses. Finally, we integrated quantitative and qualitative findings. Results: The physician-patient relationship was an independent predictor of medication adherence (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.29 to 5.89), whereas both illness perceptions (95% CI: −0.32 to −0.04) and the physician-patient relationship (95% CI: 1.05 to 9.48) were independent predictors of adherence to lifestyle modification guidance. Qualitative themes, reflecting the patient’s experience of the concepts explored in this study, explained the quantitative results. Mixing methods revealed high consistency between quantitative and qualitative findings. Limitations: Limitations are the inability to infer causal associations among variables and indirect measurement of medication adherence. Conclusion: Shared decision-making on antihypertensive medications promotes medication adherence. Specifically, the illness perception, perceived illness controllability, and non-judgemental patients’ acceptance within a satisfying physician-patient relationship empower patients to adhere to lifestyle modification guidance.","PeriodicalId":51983,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Health Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140793338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, an up-to-date account of the prevalence of mental disorders according to revised diagnostic criteria is lacking. Aims: The present study investigated the point and lifetime prevalence of a broad range of mental disorders according to DSM-5 in patients with chronic pain and examined associations of current mental health comorbidity with pain catastrophizing and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Method: In this cross-sectional, observational study, patients with self-reported chronic pain receiving inpatient treatment at a specialized tertiary hospital were recruited for participation. Structured clinical interviews were conducted to assess current and lifetime diagnoses of mental disorders. Pain catastrophizing and HRQoL were assessed via questionnaires. Results: 145 patients (63.5% female; Mage = 54.9 years) participated in the study. 57.2% of the sample met the criteria for any current and 77.9% for any lifetime mental disorder. The most prevalent diagnostic groups of current mental disorders were substance-related and addictive disorders (26.2%), somatic symptom and related disorders (17.9%), depressive disorders (17.2%), and anxiety disorders (15.9%). Current mental health comorbidity was significantly associated with increased levels of pain catastrophizing and poorer HRQoL outcomes. Limitations: Chronic pain was only assessed by self-report, and no data regarding the exact medical diagnoses of the participants were collected. Conclusion: Comorbid mental disorders are highly prevalent in patients with chronic pain. Given the adverse effects of this comorbidity, the findings emphasize the need for addressing comorbid mental disorders in the management of chronic pain.","PeriodicalId":51983,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Health Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140517533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aims: The present research, grounded in the theory of resilience-boosting strategies, explored how daily perceived stress affects anxiety and depression, highlighting the critical moderating role of self-affirmation in cognitive pathways, and the significance of positive attention bias in improving stress resilience. Methods: Using a diary methodology, data was collected from 241 participants over 14 consecutive days and was analyzed using a multilevel linear model. Results: Daily positive attention bias mediated the relationship between perceived stress and anxiety/depression, while self-affirmation acted as a cross-level moderator, affecting the relationship between daily perceived stress and daily positive attention bias and its mediation effect. Specifically, for those with high self-affirmation, daily perceived stress has a weaker negative correlation with daily positive attention bias, which coincides with a decreased intensification of anxiety and depression. Limitations: The study’s limitations include a narrow demographic focus on young Chinese participants, a potential overlook of specific bias components by the self-report scale for positive attentional bias, subjective bias from self-reported stress and emotion measures, and an inability to draw causal conclusions from the diary method. Conclusions: These findings suggest that positive attentional bias and self-affirmation, as a mediating mechanism and cross-level moderator, respectively, are associated with diminishing the effect of perceived stress and the subsequent feelings of anxiety/depression, highlighting their potential protective roles in daily stress.","PeriodicalId":51983,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Health Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140526280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To fight the pandemic, preventive measures were implemented. Despite being accepted by a majority of citizens in Germany, these measures elicited fierce protest from others. It seems that people either like or dislike them. Given the immense complexity of the topic, it is also likely that people hold ambivalent attitudes (i.e., simultaneously positive and negative). Aims: The purpose of this study is to explore ambivalence toward the (non-)implementation of preventive measures in vaccinated and unvaccinated German citizens. Method: Vaccinated ( N = 136) and unvaccinated ( N = 170) participants indicated their positivity, negativity and experienced ambivalence toward the (non-)implementation of preventive measures (e.g., mask mandatory). Results: The structure of positive and negative evaluations (i.e., objective ambivalence) indicates that unvaccinated people are more univalent (negative) and vaccinated people are neutral toward the preventive measures. Interestingly, results indicate a dissociation between objective ambivalence and experienced ambivalence. Limitation: The results are limited by the measurement choice, data collection time, and sample. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the experienced ambivalence increases with increasing personal costs. Implications for behavior change interventions and health psychology are discussed.","PeriodicalId":51983,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Health Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136033505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
