Efficacy of TF-CBT could be improved by adapting interventions according to the empirical data detailing men's preferences regarding psychological services. This scoping review aimed to document preferences of men who experienced sexual assault regarding psychological services, and to explore barriers and motivators to help-seeking for this population. A systematic approach was used to gather literature describing preferences regarding psychological services, and barriers and motivators to help-seeking. Thirty-five peer-reviewed studies and two non-peer reviewed reports met inclusion criteria. Data from included articles were extracted using a systematic extraction grid. A thematic content analysis was conducted to synthesize and present the results from the 37 studies. The number of empirical studies on preferences regarding psychological services was limited as only five documented preferences, all related to the clinician's characteristics (e.g., clinician's gender) and the type of intervention (e.g., action-oriented). Most studies reviewed barriers to help-seeking. The barriers most frequently identified were adherence to masculine norms and to myths about male sexual assault. Injury or substance abuse following sexual assault often act as motivators to help-seeking for men. To adapt TF-CBT to men who experienced sexual assault, researchers and clinicians should accommodate and further study these men's preferences, consider their motivators regarding help-seeking and alleviate barriers to help-seeking, notably by deconstructing masculine norms.</p>","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"15579883241260512"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11811990/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143389852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was planned to investigate GL's therapeutic effects and its mechanistic role in the tripterygium wilfordii polyglycoside (GTW)-induced OAS rat model. In total, 60 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats at 8 weeks of age were assigned to six groups: blank (NC), model (GTW), GL low-dose (GL-L, 0.3 g/kg/day), GL medium-dose (GL-M, 0.6 g/kg/day), GL high-dose (GL-H, 1.2 g/kg/day), and GL high-dose + PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (GL-H 1.2 g/kg/day + LY 1.2 mg/kg/day) groups. The model was characterized after 8 weeks to examine sperm concentration and viability, serum hormone levels, testes histopathology, and specific protein markers. The treatment efficacy was evaluated by mRNA and protein expression levels, among other parameters. Compared with the GTW group, the viability and concentration of rat spermatozoa were significantly increased after GL intervention (<i>p</i> < .01). Meanwhile, the serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and T hormones in rats in the GL-M and GL-H groups were significantly higher than those in the GTW group (<i>p</i> < .05). Furthermore, GL enhanced the proliferation of spermatogenic cells by modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, increasing and decreasing the levels of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins, respectively.

Using thematic analysis, three themes were developed: (a) encouragement, advice, and support from trusted others, (b) confronting gender-related perceptions and issues, and (c) getting to the benefits. The findings suggest that men are more likely to take up yoga when encouraged by trusted others and male role models. Men face gender-related challenges that can be overcome by educating them about yoga, focusing on its physical benefits, and experiencing the benefits of yoga firsthand. To encourage more men into yoga, yoga teachers need to create an inclusive environment that welcomes men and caters to their needs.
