Undergraduate college women (<i>N</i> = 270; <i>M</i> = 19.39 years, SD = 2.43, range 18-39 years) from diverse racial/ethnic and sexual orientation groups completed a survey online. Measures included hormonal contraception use, body image, weight control behavior, breakfast consumption, sleep behavior, and daytime energy level. Nearly 1/3 (30.9%) of the sample reported current hormonal contraceptive use, with most users reporting use of birth control pills (74.7%). Women who used hormonal contraceptives reported significantly higher appearance orientation and body surveillance, lower average energy, more frequent night awakenings, and more naps. Longer duration of hormonal contraceptive use was significantly related to higher body surveillance, and engaging in more unhealthy weight control behavior. Hormonal contraceptive use is not related to indicators of greater well-being. Rather, hormonal contraceptive use is related to greater attention to appearance, lower daytime energy, and some indicators of poorer sleep quality.

Intolerance of uncertainty often lead to excessive worry, which may be related not only to the tendency to catastrophize pain, but also to increased distress. However, the specific nature of these relationships remains largely unexplored. The present study sought to investigate the associations between intolerance of uncertainty, pain catastrophizing, and symptoms of depression, while exploring how they differ between adults with and without chronic pain. Questionnaires were administered electronically to a community sample of 160 adults. All variables were significantly and positively correlated in the chronic pain group (<i>n</i> = 80), while only intolerance of uncertainty and symptoms of depression were positively and strongly correlated in the pain-free group (<i>n</i> = 80). Individuals in the chronic pain group reported higher levels of pain catastrophizing and symptoms of depression compared to the pain-free group, but both groups exhibited similar levels of intolerance of uncertainty. Intolerance of uncertainty and pain catastrophizing were significant predictors of the severity of depression in both groups, even after controlling for age and gender. However, intolerance of uncertainty was no longer statistically significant in the chronic pain group once pain catastrophizing was considered. These findings suggest that intolerance of uncertainty serves as a general vulnerability factor for psychological distress in adults, while pain catastrophizing acts as a specific vulnerability factor for individuals living with chronic pain. Enhancing knowledge about the role of cognitive factors in depression among individuals with chronic pain could help improve the management of this debilitating condition.</p>","PeriodicalId":54535,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Health & Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9867512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A three-arm cluster randomized controlled trial including three test periods (baseline, post-test, six-month follow-up) was implemented. Seven classes (144 students) were randomly assigned to receive well-being intervention (WBI), lifestyle intervention (LI), or no intervention (NI).

The phenomenon of DSH exacerbates mental illness sequela, while being an essential indicator of suicide risk. Globally, about 800 000 people commit suicide yearly, averaging almost one suicide every 40 s. Based on a Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study, the aim sought to establish the scope of the DSH, suicidality and suicide case-load from a Western Cape Emergency Medical Services (EMS) prehospital perspective. A census of 3 years of EMS Incident Management Records (IMR) from a large rural district with seven local municipalities was undertaken using a novel data collection instrument. The 2976 (N) mental health-related incidents that met the inclusion criteria (from 413 712 cases) suggest a presentation rate of 7 per 1000 EMS calls. Sixty percent (<i>n</i> = 1776) were regarded to have deliberately self-harmed, attempted suicide or committed suicide. Overdose/deliberate self-poisoning accounted for 52% (<i>n</i> = 1550) of all the DSH caseload of the study. Attempted suicide accounted for 2.7% (<i>n</i> = 83) and Suicide for 3.4% (<i>n</i> = 102) of the suicidality case-load from the study, respectively. Suicide averaged 2.8. suicides per month in the Garden Route District over the 3-year period. Men were five times more likely to commit suicide than women, commonly using strangulation, while women mostly ingested household detergents and poison, and overdosed on chronic medication. Understandably, the EMS needs to assess its own capability to respond, treat, and transport health-care users with DSH and suicidality. This study demonstrates the EMS 'everyday' exposure to DSH, suicidality and suicide case-load. It represents a critical first step in the problem-space definition upon which a determination of the need for EMS responses can be based, to interrupt suicidality by removing methods of harm and strengthening the mental health economy through social capital investment.</p>","PeriodicalId":54535,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Health & Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9609207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
