How Do Control Beliefs About Stress Relate to Depressive Symptoms in Chinese Healthcare Workers: The Mediating Role of Optimism and Cognitive Reappraisal
This study aims to investigate the relationship between control beliefs about stress and depressive symptoms among Chinese healthcare workers. Additionally, we aim to explore the mediating roles of optimism and cognitive reappraisal within this relationship. A total of 1326 Chinese healthcare workers completed a multi-section questionnaire. The results indicated that control beliefs about stress were negatively correlated with depressive symptoms and positively correlated with optimism and cognitive reappraisal. Furthermore, both optimism and cognitive reappraisal served as independent and serial mediators in the relations...

Utilizing a longitudinal design combined with a person-centered approach, the current study examined the developmental trajectory of social anxiety among 3,861 students throughout their university years. Additionally, we explored the impacts of specific c...

Association Between Preconception Maternal Mental Health-Related Hospitalisation (MHrH) and Outcomes During Pregnancy: A Population-Based Cohort Study in the Northern Territory, Australia
AbstractComprehensive studies investigating the link between maternal hospitalisation for mental health conditions prior to pregnancy and adverse outcomes in pregnancy are scarce in Australia. We aimed to fill this gap by using 18 years of administratively linked data to inform early interventions. We linked the perinatal data from the year 1999 to 2017 to the hospital hospitalisation data to create a cohort of pregnant women aged 15 to 44 years who gave birth in the Northern Territory (NT). We used the International Class ification of Disease 10th revision (ICD-AM-10) codes to locate women with mental health-related ho...

Unpacking the Myth in the Associations Between Self-control and Gaming Disorder in Children and Adolescents: A Comparison Between Traditional and Random Intercept Cross-lagged Panel Model Analyses
This study is aimed at clarifying whether prospective relationships exist between self-control and gaming disorder in children and adolescents or whether they are associated due to common causes. We examined the temporal dynamics of the associations between self-control and gaming disorder symptom severity using a traditional cross-lagged panel model (CLPM; aggregating between- and within-person variance) and a random intercept CLPM (RI-CLPM; disaggregating between- and within-person effects) with three-annual wave data from a large cohort of primary and secondary students (N = 1359, mean age 12.67 (SD 1.40), 834 (61.7...

Country Differences in the Effects of Individual Traits on Depression in Women in Europe
AbstractMental health and, in particular, depression are of great global concern today, especially in middle- and high-income countries. These health issues show an unequal gender prevalence as they are more common in women than in men. The aim of this work is to use micro-econometric models to analyze the prevalence of depression in women in 27 European countries, as well as to quantify the effects of certain individual characteristics on the probability of experiencing depression and the degree to which it occurs. In addition, measures are proposed to assess how each country differs from the total sample. The data used p...

Development and Validation of a Simple Risk Calculator for Alcohol-Related Adverse Outcomes: Results from a Composite Scale Approach in a Nationally Representative Sample
AbstractWe tested how 5 simple variables, routinely collected in primary care (i.e., the 3 AUDIT-C items, age, and sex), could constitute a clinician-friendly risk calculator tool of the 3-year risk of several alcohol-related adverse outcomes (i.e., alcohol use disorder, withdrawal symptoms, occurrence of tremors or seizures, and alcohol related interpersonal relationship problems, legal problems, and psychological problems) among non-alcohol-dependent individuals consuming alcohol.

The Use and Knowledge Around Vaping and Their Correlates Among University Students —A Cross-sectional Australian Study
AbstractThe increasing prevalence of e-cigarette use ( “vaping”) among youth has emerged as a public health concern. We aim to explore vape use, knowledge levels, and correlates in a sample of Australian young adults. Participants from six residential university colleges in Queensland, Australia, were invited to complete an online survey. The sample included 716 students (Mage=18.1 years). Correlates of vape use and knowledge examined included socio-demographic variables, other substance use, and mental health, including PHQ-9 depression and GAD-7 anxiety. In our sample, 62% of students reported lifetime vaping. Just u...
