文摘Mindfulness would enhance university students’emotional well-being and study engagement.However,the role of affect(positive and negative emotions)and psychological resources(psychological capital)linking mindfulness to study engagement remain underexplored.This cross-sectional study surveyed 688 Chinese university students(females=413,mean age=20.3,SD=0.83),using validated self-report measures of mindfulness,positive and negative emotions,psychological capital,and study engagement.Structural equation modeling and bias-corrected bootstrap analyses(5000 resamples)revealed that mindfulness directly enhanced positive emotions,psychological capital,and study engagement,while reducing negative emotions.Positive emotions partially mediated the positive effect of mindfulness on psychological capital and study engagement.Negative emotions partially and negatively mediated only the mindfulness-psychological capital link.Psychological capital independently mediated the mindfulness-engagement relationship,and two sequential mediation pathways emerged:(a)mindfulness→positive emotions→psychological capital→higher study engagement and(b)mindfulness→reduced negative emotions→psychological capital→higher study engagement.Consistent with broaden-and-build(B&B)theory and Conservation of Resources(COR)theory,these findings suggest that mindfulness fosters study engagement primarily by promoting positive emotional experiences and strengthening psychological capital.By implication,university student support programs should employ mindfulness-based interventions to cultivate emotional and psychological resources for higher students’engagement and overall well-being.
文摘BACKGROUND Appropriate care for individuals who attempt suicide and are admitted to the emergency department(ED)can prevent future suicidal behavior.It is vital to understand their sociodemographic characteristics and the effects of targeted psychological care.AIM To analyze sociodemographic characteristics of suicide attempters treated in the ED and evaluate the efficacy of psychological care.METHODS Data from 239 suicide attempters treated in the ED of the Central Hospital of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture(Hubei Province,China)between January 2021 and February 2025 were divided into 2:Control(n=108)and psychological care(n=131).The demographic characteristics and effects of the psychological care were analyzed.RESULTS The mean(±SD)age of the 239 patients[114 male(47.7%),125 female(52.3%)]was 26.25±9.3 years,of whom 122(45.2%)were single,117(48.9%)were married,and 106(44.4%)had secondary education.Thirty-eight(15.9%)patients had suicidal intent,with a mean of 1.26±0.59 suicide attempts each.Twenty-two(9.21%)patients had a family history of suicide,while 8(3.34%)had a family history of suicide attempt(s).Before intervention,mean Suicidal Intent Scale scores in the psychological nursing and control groups were 21.57±5.28 and 19.86±5.92,respectively(P>0.05).After 1 month of nursing intervention,the respective scores were 10.09±1.11 and 16.48±0.87(P<0.001);and the re-suicide rates were 11.45%(15/131)and 24.07%(26/108)(P<0.001).CONCLUSION Psychological care significantly reduces suicide risk;EDs should provide comprehensive mental health care.
文摘This study examined the relationship between inclusive leadership and authenticity at work in racial minority groups of South Africa,taking into account the mediating role of psychological safety and the moderator role of gender,in that relationship.The sample was composed of 94 employees predominantly working in the professional services sector from South Africa(41.5%females;mean age=37.1),who self-identified as racial minority groups(coloured/black/Indian).Results indicate that inclusive leadership has no direct effect on authenticity at work;however,psychological safety fully mediates this relationship.Regarding the moderation effect of gender,results showed that males are more likely to diminish their self-alienation(a specific component of authenticity at work)when levels of psychological safety are higher.These results are consistent with Social Identity Theory,which posits that individuals derive part of their self-concept from their membership in social groups.In contexts where inclusive leadership fosters psychological safety,individuals(particularly men in traditionally male-dominated work environments)may feel a stronger sense of belonging and group identity,which in turn enhances their willingness to express their authentic selves and reduces self-alienation.Practical implications for companies include the need to improve leadership styles to foster more of an inclusive and psychologically safe culture,where minority groups can be authentic and flourish.

文摘Rheumatoid arthritis(RA)patients face significant psychological challenges alongside physical symptoms,necessitating a comprehensive understanding of how psychological vulnerability and adaptation patterns evolve throughout the disease course.This review examined 95 studies(2000-2025)from PubMed,Web of Science,and CNKI databases including longitudinal cohorts,randomized controlled trials,and mixed-methods research,to characterize the complex interplay between biological,psychological,and social factors affecting RA patients’mental health.Findings revealed three distinct vulnerability trajectories(45%persistently low,30%fluctuating improvement,25%persistently high)and four adaptation stages,with critical intervention periods occurring 3-6 months postdiagnosis and during disease flares.Multiple factors significantly influence psychological outcomes,including gender(females showing 1.8-fold increased risk),age(younger patients experiencing 42%higher vulnerability),pain intensity,inflammatory markers,and neuroendocrine dysregulation(48%showing cortisol rhythm disruption).Early psychological intervention(within 3 months of diagnosis)demonstrated robust benefits,reducing depression incidence by 42%with effects persisting 24-36 months,while different modalities showed complementary advantages:Cognitive behavioral therapy for depression(Cohen’s d=0.68),mindfulness for pain acceptance(38%improvement),and peer support for meaning reconstruction(25.6%increase).These findings underscore the importance of integrating routine psychological assessment into standard RA care,developing stage-appropriate interventions,and advancing research toward personalized biopsychosocial approaches that address the dynamic psychological dimensions of the disease.
文摘BACKGROUND Approximately 30%of patients with head and neck cancer experience adverse effects caused by anxiety and depression.Considering the high prevalence,implementing customized interventions to ease adverse emotional states is imperative.AIM To evaluate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy(CBT)-based psychological interventions in improving the psychological well-being and quality of life(QoL)of patients with laryngeal carcinoma.METHODS This study enrolled 120 patients admitted from February 2022 to February 2024.The control group,comprising 50 participants,received standard supportive psychological care,while the research group,consisting 70 participants,underwent CBT-based interventions.Several clinical outcomes were systematically assessed that included postoperative recovery metrics(duration of tracheostomy and nasogastric tube dependence and length of hospitalization),psychological status(Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale),nutritional markers(serum albumin and hemoglobin levels),sleep quality(Self-Rating Scale of Sleep and Athens Insomnia Scale),and QoL(Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Head and Neck).RESULTS The results demonstrated that the research group experienced superior outcomes,with significantly reduced durations of tracheostomy and nasogastric tube dependence,as well as shorter hospital stays,compared with the control group.Additionally,the research group exhibited markedly lower post-intervention Self-Rating Anxiety Scale,Self-Rating Depression Scale,Self-Rating Scale of Sleep,and Athens Insomnia Scale scores,along with minimal but higher change in serum albumin and hemoglobin levels compared with the control group.All five domains of Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Head and Neck showed notable improvements in the research group,exceeding those observed in the control group.CONCLUSION CBT-based psychological support positively affects the mental well-being and QoL of patients with laryngeal carcinoma,highlighting its potential for broader clinical application.
文摘Objective:Intergenerational ambivalence is the conflicts or differences in opinion occurring between 2 or more generations.Advanced technology,busy lifestyles,working parents,etc.,have widened the area of ambivalence between the mother and young adult.Therefore,the present study aimed to assess the intergenerational ambivalence and psychological well-being of mothers and young adults.Methods:A descriptive correlational survey was done among 150 participants(75 mothers and 75 young adults)of the Shirva panchayat area of Udupi taluk,Karnataka,India.Participants were selected based on the study inclusion criteria.Data were obtained using the demographic pro forma,followed by the Intergenerational Ambivalence Scale and Ryff Psychological Wellbeing Scale.Results:Based on the objectives and hypotheses of the study,the data analysis was done with SPSS version 20(IBM Corporation,Armonk,New York,United States).The mean age of mothers was 46.20 years,and that of young adults was 21.49 years.Both mothers and young adults have moderate levels of intergenerational ambivalence with scores of 70.7% and 73.3%,respectively.The psychological well-being of 57.3% of mothers was at a moderate level.A significant relationship was found between intergenerational ambivalence and psychological well-being(ρ=-0.035,P=0.0767).Conclusions:The present study concluded that as the intergenerational ambivalence of mothers increases,their psychological wellbeing decreases.

文摘This study examines the mediating role of positive psychological capital and the moderating role of ethnicity in the relationship between mindfulness and internalizing/externalizing problems among adolescents.The study sample comprized Chinese adolescents(N=637 ethnic minority;females=40.97%,meam age=12.68,SD=0.49 years;N=636 Han;females=49.06%,mean age=12.71,SD=0.47 years).The participants completed the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure,the Positive Psycap Questionnaire,and the Youth Self-Report.Results from the moderated mediation analysis showed mindfulness was negatively associated with both internalizing and externalizing problems.Ethnicity moderated the relationship between mindfulness and internalizing problems to be stronger for Han adolescents compared to ethnic minority adolescents.Psychological capital mediated the relationship between mindfulness and internalizing problems in both groups,with a negative direction.Findings support the Conservation of Resources theory and highlight mindfulness as a personal resource fostering adolescent well-being in multicultural contexts.
文摘This review explored the application and effectiveness of and research gaps in integrative psychological support in patients undergoing cardiac surgery during the perioperative period.These patients often encounter psychological issues such as anxiety and depression,which affect their postoperative recovery and quality of life.Previous research indicated that preoperative psychological assessments and interventions significantly enhance patients’psychological states and posto-perative outcomes.Interventions,including preoperative education,mindfulness-based stress reduction,and cognitive training,have proven effective in reducing the incidence of postoperative delirium and anxiety.Intraoperative environment optimization(e.g.,music therapy)and postoperative psychological support(e.g.,family visits and psychological interventions in intensive care unit psychological interventions)positively influence patient recovery.Furthermore,theory-based nursing interventions and digital health tools(e.g.,remote monitoring applica-tions)offer new directions for psychological support.However,challenges,inclu-ding fragmented psychological support,insufficient cross-stage integration,and inadequate training,remain in current nursing practices.Future research should focus on developing standardized psychological support pathways,enhancing multidisciplinary collaboration,and verifying the long-term effects of digital the-rapeutics.
文摘This mixed-methods study investigated how AI-enhanced English as a Foreign Language(EFL)learning environments influence students’psychological well-being through the mediating roles of motivation and language learning anxiety and the moderating role of trust.Participants were Chinese university students(N=310,62%female,mean age=18.9,SD=0.8),of whom 15 completed interviews to both add to and to clarify the evidence from the surveys.Structural equation modeling results revealed that AI use had significant indirect effects on well-being through increased motivation and reduced language learning anxiety.Trust in AI significantly moderated both paths,amplifying the motivational benefits and anxiety reduction associated with AI use.Thematic analysis supported these results,identifying three experiential themes:(1)motivational empowerment through personalization,(2)anxiety regulation through safe practice and feedback,and(3)trust as the emotional bridge between AI and well-being.The study extends AI psychology applications by empirically linking technology engagement with affective outcomes and underscores the need for human-centered and trust-enhancing design in AI-supported education.From these findings,we conclude that adaptive,transparent,and autonomy-supportive AI systems promote self-determined motivation,emotional safety,and overall psychological health among EFL learners.
文摘Background:Platform algorithms driving content presentation are profoundly shaping the experience of younger users.While prior research has examined anxiety stemming from young adults’social media usage,the link between upward social comparison and anxiety remains unclear.This study aims to investigate the mediating role of upward social comparison in this relationship and determine the moderating role of psychological resilience.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 562 young Chinese adults aged 18–35(53%female).Data were collected via an online questionnaire employing validated measurement instruments,including scales for social media usage patterns,upward comparator behaviour(INCOM),anxiety levels(GAD-7),and psychological resilience(RSA).Correlation analysis,mediation analysis,and moderation analysis were conducted using SPSS 29.0.Results:As predicted,the results indicate that upward social comparison mediates the relationship between both active(β=−0.11,95%CI=[−0.15,−0.08])and passive(β=0.11,95%CI=[0.07,0.15])social media use and anxiety.Furthermore,psychological resilience(β_(low)=0.10,95%CI=[0.06,0.14];β_(high)=0.05,95%CI=[0.01,0.09])moderated the indirect effect of passive social media use on anxiety through upward social comparison.Conclusion:The findings indicate that upward social comparison significantly influences the anxiety experienced by young social media users,with psychological resilience playing a crucial moderating role.These results offer valuable insights for optimizing content recommendation algorithms on social media platforms to better support young adults’mental health.
文摘BACKGROUND Patients with gastric cancer often experience slow postoperative recovery and psychological stress,necessitating enhanced nursing care to improve their prognosis.AIM To analyze the impact of a timing-theory-guided three-stage integrated nursing intervention(TSIN)on the postoperative recovery of patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery.METHODS Total 84 patients that underwent gastric cancer surgeries between June 2022 and June 2024 were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group based on perioperative nursing methods.The control group(n=42)received routine nursing care,whereas the observation group(n=42)received a timing-theory-guided TSIN.The psychological adjustment capabilities,psychological stress,cancer-related fatigue levels,postoperative recovery,and quality of life of the two groups were compared.RESULTS Compared to the control group,the observation group took lesser time to get out of bed,achieve gastrointestinal motility,have the first mealtime,along with a shorter hospital stay(P<0.05).Before nursing,there were no significant differences between groups’parameters or scores(P>0.05).After nursing,the scores for psychological stress and cancer-related fatigue decreased.In contrast,the scores for psychological adjustment capabilities and quality of life increased,with more significant improvements observed in the observation group,showing significant differences within and between the groups(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Timing theory-guided TSIN can improve the psychological adjustment capabilities of patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery,reduce psychological stress and cancer-related fatigue,accelerate postoperative recovery,and improve the quality of life.
