The psychological mechanisms underlying how depression, anxiety, and stress influence self-care and caregiver contribution to self-care remain unclear in IBD dyads. This study examined the dyadic associations between emotional distress and self-care behaviours in IBD, testing the mediating role of self-efficacy in both patients and caregivers. A multicentre cross-sectional study was conducted in accordance with STROBE guidelines across nine Italian IBD units. Emotional distress was assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), self-efficacy using the Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale (SCSES) for patients and the Caregiver Self-Efficacy in Contributing to Self-Care (CSE-CSC) for caregivers, and self-care behaviours using the Self-Care of Chronic Illness Inventory (SC-CII) and its caregiver version (CC-SC-CII). The Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model (APIMeM) with Bayesian estimation was applied to test direct and indirect effects while adjusting for demographic and clinical covariates. A total of 274 patient-caregiver dyads were enrolled. Patient depression showed credible indirect associations with self-care through lower self-efficacy. Anxiety showed weak and inconsistent associations, with only one credible negative total association between patient anxiety and patient self-care monitoring. Patient stress showed credible positive direct associations with patient self-care outcomes. Caregiver-to-patient partner effects were generally non-credible. Depression undermines self-care in IBD primarily via diminished self-efficacy, whereas patient stress may be linked to adaptive vigilance in patient self-care. Strengthening patient self-efficacy and addressing depressive symptoms may represent relevant targets for supporting self-care in individuals with IBD, while caregiver-focused strategies require further investigation in longitudinal or interventional designs.</p>","PeriodicalId":520814,"journal":{"name":"The Psychiatric quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147849339","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}

This study examined correlates of adolescents' attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. A sample of 686 Chinese adolescents (Mean age = 16.67 years, SD = 2.39 years; 55.2% were females) completed measures of depressive and anxiety symptoms, non-stigmatizing attitudes toward peers with mental health problems (perceived competence and social acceptance), and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that female adolescents reported more positive help-seeking attitudes compared to males. Higher levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms were associated with less favorable help-seeking attitudes. Notably, perceived competence positively predicted help-seeking attitudes, whereas social acceptance showed a negative association. The final regression model accounted for 13.1% of the variance in help-seeking attitudes. These findings suggest that adolescents' help-seeking attitudes are shaped not only by emotional distress, but also by how psychological difficulties are understood and evaluated within the peer context. Interventions may benefit from addressing both emotional distress and peer-related stigma processes while fostering supportive environments that make professional help more acceptable and accessible to adolescents.</p>","PeriodicalId":520814,"journal":{"name":"The Psychiatric quarterly","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147826365","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}
