Among them, apprentices in some cases meet working conditions with significant challenges to mental wellness at a critical developmental period. Although mental health issues have been well documented in higher education students, this is not the case for apprentices. The present experiment thus aimed to fill the gap of available information between the two populations. More specifically, we aimed to provide a topic overview of French apprentices’ mental health and well-being, to examine the prevalence of workplace bullying in French apprentices and its’ associations with mental health difficulties, and to explore apprentices’ attitudes toward help-seeking in order to inform the development of online intervention relevant to apprentices. Main results show that apprentices have poor mental health and that age, gender and business sector act as risk factors, with apprentices aged 18 - 25 years, female apprentices and apprentices in the tertiary sector experiencing higher levels of distress and lower levels of well-being. Results also reveal a high prevalence of workplace bullying associated with psychological distress, alcohol use and maladaptive stress management strategies. Finally, although apprentices are not reluctant to seek help from mental health professionals, the workplace is not considered as a setting where to find help. However, digital self-help programs could fit well with the daily lifestyle and interests of apprentices. Practical recommendations to address mental health issues in apprentices are discussed within a comprehensive framework including community mental health awareness, digital","PeriodicalId":89844,"journal":{"name":"Psychology (Irvine, Calif.)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70786567","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}

Moreover, it has been established by many studies that there are several mediating factors in the relationship between smoking and coronary heart disease. The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between smoking and coronary heart disease, with particular emphasis on the factors that mediate this relationship. Methods: A demographic questionnaire, and the Smoking in psychiatric hospitals—a survey of patients’ views, were used. The research was conducted on a sample of 152 patients at the Cardiology Clinic of the National University of Athens “Sotiria”. Results: The vast majority of patients with coronary heart disease have smoked in the past and continue to smoke, despite their knowledge that smoking is very harmful to health and the physician’s advice to stop smoking immediately. In addition, a partial correlation between smoking and gender as well as smoking and history of psychiatric disorders, and baseline anxiety was found. The latest research hypothesis about the role of stressors is partially confirmed. Conclusions: The effects of smoking cessation are important in terms of the risk and recurrence of coronary heart disease. Smoking cessation interventions have been found to be effective when psychosocial intervention strategies are used. However, the role of emotional intelligence in smoking cessation has also been established. Monitoring and using information about one’s emotions is important in the context of health behavior, as it can be used to guide thoughts, attitudes, and perceptions. Therefore, it is proposed to design and implement educational programs that aim to strengthen and utilize emotional intelligence, both at the level of prevention and in dealing with smoking.","PeriodicalId":89844,"journal":{"name":"Psychology (Irvine, Calif.)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135750953","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}
