In regions with limited accessibility to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, condoms remain a critical method for HIV prevention. However, there is a notable lack of research examining the impact of chemsex on condom use self-efficacy. This study aimed to examine condom use self-efficacy among chemsex users and to explore its interrelationship with chemsex and condomless anal sex. Adult MSM in Hong Kong were recruited in 2021. Logistic regression analysis was employed to explore factors associated with condomless anal sex, while mediation analysis was employed to examine the relationships among chemsex, condom use self-efficacy, and condomless anal sex. The analysis included 316 MSM, 51 (16.14%) of whom engaged in chemsex in the last three months, with significantly lower condom use self-efficacy scores. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that chemsex engagement was significantly associated with a higher likelihood of condomless sex. Mediation analysis showed that chemsex engagement indirectly increased the likelihood of condomless anal sex through its negative impact on condom use self-efficacy, with an odds ratio of 3.52 (95% CI: 2.12-7.09). Furthermore, sexual orientation was found to moderate this indirect effect. Among gay men, the indirect effect was more pronounced (odds ratio: 3.74, 95% CI: 2.20-7.71) compared to bisexual men (odds ratio: 2.01, 95% CI: 1.18-4.12). These findings highlight the importance of targeted interventions aimed at enhancing condom use self-efficacy among MSM, particularly among those engaging in chemsex. Strengthening self-efficacy may play a critical role in promoting condom use and reducing the risk of HIV and STIs in this population.</p>","PeriodicalId":54535,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Health & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"2122-2140"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143659704","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}

This study aimed to investigate burnout prevalence, associated factors, and its relationship with the areas of worklife mismatch among industrial workers in Thailand. A cross-sectional study assessed burnout among 390 industrial workers (87.4% of 446) from a company in Thailand between June and August 2024. The questionnaire consisted of three sections including personal and occupational factors, the Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS). Descriptive and inferential statistics, including bivariate analysis and binary logistic regression, were employed for data analysis. Forty-four industrial workers (11.3% of 390) reported burnout. Burnout was statistically associated with strong family relationships, mental disorders, sleeping seven or more hours per day, and working more than eight hours per day. Burnout was associated with a mismatch in six dimensions of areas of worklife including workload, control, reward, community, fairness, and values. In conclusion, industrial workers showed relatively low burnout levels in this study. Factors including family relationships, mental disorders, sleep duration, and working hours were significantly associated with burnout.

The study objective was to document sleep health and its correlates among preconception women. Females (18-45 years) from Canada and who are trying to conceive were recruited to participate in the PREGO Study. Sleep health (duration, quality, and disorders) was measured using the Sleep Health Index. Sociodemographic (age, marital status, level of education, income, ethnic or cultural origins, weight and height), pregnancy-related (gravidity), behavioral (physical activity level, alcohol and caffeine intake, nicotine and cannabis use) and psychological (marital happiness, life satisfaction, depressive and anxiety symptoms, stress, psychological distress) data were self-reported using validated questionnaires. Multivariable linear regression analyses were used to identify correlates of preconception sleep health. Preconception sleep health data were available for 620 women (mean age: 29.9 ± 3.5 years; 67.6% nulligravid). Participants' global sleep health score was 71.5 ± 14.4 (out of 100, with higher scores indicating better sleep health) and 81.3% had sleep duration variability between weekdays and weekends. Depression (β = -1.60; 95% CI: -1.99, -1.22) and life satisfaction (β = 0.39; 95% CI: 0.11, 0.67) were significant correlates and explained 16% of the variance in sleep health. Preconception women appear to have good overall sleep health, but for many their sleep duration varies between weekdays and weekends. Having higher levels of depressive symptoms was associated with worse sleep health, while good sleep health was associated with higher life satisfaction. It may be worthwhile to ask women wishing to conceive - especially those with depressive symptoms - about their sleep health.
