Ethiopian immigrants (EIs) in Israel, an ethnic minority, are vulnerable to T2DM, with a risk significantly higher than the general population. This study aims to assess and compare health behaviors, specifically physical activity and healthy food consumption, between EIs and Israeli-born individuals (IBs). Utilizing an expanded theory of planned behavior framework, the study incorporates perceived susceptibility to T2DM and perceived health status as additional determinants of these behaviors. A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving a convenience sample of 110 EIs and 97 IBs. Data collection involved questionnaires administered via email or hard-copy. Key variables included attitudes, subjective norms, perceived control, intention, perceived susceptibility, and perceived health status, with logistic regression used to identify significant predictors of health behaviors. Results revealed no significant differences in the rates of physical activity (60.9% for EIs, 60.8% for IBs; <i>p</i> = 0.99) and in healthy food consumption (66.4% for EIs, 78.4% for IBs; <i>p</i> = 0.05). Significant predictors of physical activity differed between the groups. For EIs, intention (OR = 1.35, 95%CI [0.71,1.99], <i>p</i> < 0.001) had a significant effect, while for IBs, this effect was not observed. Perceived health status (OR = 1.63, 95%CI [1.07,2.48], <i>p</i> = 0.023) was a significant predictor across both groups. For healthy food consumption, significant predictors included marital status (OR = 4.25, 95%CI [1.92, 9.44], <i>p</i> < 0.001), BMI (OR = 0.61, 95%CI [0.39, 0.95], <i>p</i> = 0.029), and intention (OR = 2.86,95%CI [1.40,5.86], <i>p</i> = 0.004), with no significant group interaction effects found for these variables. The findings highlight the importance of culturally tailored health interventions that consider both individual and communal beliefs.

This study aimed to explore how the perceived psychological state of partners affects perinatal mental health among Chinese women and examine the mediating roles of couple communication and perceived social support. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 1,654 pregnant women (mean age: 29.7 years; gestational age: 12-41 weeks) from three hospitals in Jiangsu Province. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied for data analysis. The results indicated that an unstable partner's perceived psychological state negatively affects perinatal mental health. Couple communication partially mediates the relationship between partner's perceived psychological state and perinatal mental health, and couple communication and perceived social support performed a serial mediation of this relationship. These findings suggest that a partner's psychological state can induce similar emotional responses in pregnant women. However, effective couple communication can alleviate adverse psychological effects by enhancing perceived social support. This study underscores the imperative to incorporate empowerment of primary support companions (particularly spouses) within prenatal social support frameworks. To advocate for the development of a two-way communication model, the enhancement of effective dichotomous communication skills, and the establishment of a supportive communication environment characterized by openness and regularity.

This observational, descriptive study included 367 patients who met the 2016 diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia set by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). The demographic characteristics of all participants were recorded. Pain levels were measured using the Visual Analog Scale, emotional regulation difficulties were assessed using The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale - 16 item version (DERS-16), and social support was evaluated using the Two-Way Social Support Scale (2-Way SSS). Functionality was assessed using the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR), depression was measured using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), anxiety was evaluated using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and quality of life was assessed using the World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale-Bref (WHOQOL-Bref). Depression scores were higher in the moderate and severe pain groups as determined by VAS activity scores and in the severe pain group as determined by VAS night scores. A statistically significant low positive correlation was observed between VAS night scores and both BAI scores and BDI scores. Higher WHOQoL-BREF physical health and psychological well-being scores were observed in the mild pain group as determined by VAS activity scores. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between FIQR scores and pain severity groups determined by both VAS activity and VAS night scores; between anxiety and depression levels and DERS-16 scores; between DERS-Total and FIQR-Global Impact.

These conditions are characterized by various symptoms, such as malaise, fatigue, and cognitive dysfunction, and are considered to reflect different underlying pathologies. Using a cluster analysis, we hypothesized that long COVID may have different psychosocial outcomes depending on the phenotype. This study is based on the COVID-19 RECOVERY STUDY II (CORES II) conducted in 20 centers in Japan. CORES II included patients aged 20 years and older who were hospitalized and discharged alive between April and September 2021. In CORES II, information collected at hospitalization was followed by an investigation one year after diagnosis into post-infection symptoms, physical and mental health, and patients' social circumstances. Long COVID symptoms, based on symptoms one month after infection, and psychosocial well-being, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and quality of life (QOL), one year after onset were assessed via questionnaires provided one year after diagnosis. We performed a cluster analysis based on long COVID symptoms. We also compared the psychosocial status between clusters. We identified five clusters of symptoms in 746 patients. These clusters were characterized by severe multi-organ dysfunction, olfactory and gustatory disturbances, shortness of breath, muscle weakness, and hair loss. The severe multi-organ dysfunction cluster included a large number of patients with malaise and who were more likely to have a poor psychosocial status one year after onset. In addition, the olfactory and gustatory disturbance cluster appeared to have the second highest depression and anxiety scores after the multi-organ dysfunction cluster.

We used the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and the PRISMA protocol and Rayyan tool for the selection and inclusion of studies. The terms used in the electronic search were 'acne' and 'self-esteem'. After reading the abstracts and applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 studies were selected for quantitative synthesis. The findings of this study indicate that patients with acne experience more mental health disorders, with their subjective perceptions linked to depression, anxiety, and incapacity. Females tend to have lower self-esteem, and their assessments vary depending on the evaluation method used. These results clarify the relationship between acne, self-esteem, and mental health. Furthermore, they provide evidence of factors that increase vulnerability to psychological impacts associated with acne. In conclusion, the literature emphasizes the importance of ongoing research on acne, its impact on self-esteem, and its relationship with other psychological dimensions.
