IntroductionPublic engagement is critical to the conservation of industrial heritage sites, yet the psychological mechanisms underlying support behaviors remain understudied. This study investigates how perceived value, environmental sustainability awareness, social identity, and perceived government support shape the public’s willingness to participate in and financially support industrial heritage conservation. Particular attention is given to the mediating role of place attachment.MethodsA structured survey was administered to 385 visitors at the “Changtuo 1958” industrial heritage site in Changchun, China. Key constructs—including perceived value, environmental sustainability awareness, social identity, perceived government support, place attachment, willingness to participate, and willingness to pay—were measured using validated multi-item Likert scales. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) to test direct and indirect effects, and mediation analysis was conducted to assess the role of place attachment.ResultsAll four predictors—perceived value, environmental sustainability awareness, social identity, and perceived government support—significantly enhanced both participation and payment intentions. Place attachment partially mediated these relationships, with social identity exerting the strongest overall impact on both outcomes. SEM results confirmed that emotional bonds to the site act as a crucial pathway linking cognitive and social perceptions to public engagement.DiscussionThese findings underscore the importance of affective and identity-based mechanisms in promoting pro-environmental behaviors toward industrial heritage conservation. Strategies to strengthen public support should include fostering emotional connections, enhancing sustainability messaging, and increasing trust in institutional support. The study provides actionable insights for policymakers and heritage managers aiming to enhance sustainable engagement in industrial heritage contexts.

Background: Female workers often face sexual harassment in the workplace. It places them under stress and reduces their job satisfaction. Aim: Understanding the mediating effect of job stress in relation to harassment and job satisfaction is the main objective of the study. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study focused on women workers in the private sector from the Kurdistan region of Iraq. We measured sexual harassment using the sex behavior and workplace questionnaire and assessed job stress using the job stress survey questionnaire. The researchers developed a job satisfaction scale. We analyzed the data using ANOVA, simple linear regression, and Sobel mediation. Results: Study sample consisted of 400 women workers who had experienced sexual harassment at work. The divorced/widowed had higher levels of harassment (M = 76.68), higher levels of job stress (M = 56.94), and worse job satisfaction (M = 50.16). We found a substantial positive link between sexual harassment and job stress and a large, significant negative correlation with job satisfaction. The indirect effect of sexual harassment through job stress accounts for 15% of the impact on job satisfaction. Conclusion: Among female workers, divorced or widowed, older, and lower levels of education are the main risk factors for sexual harassment.

Telepractice in neuropsychology has become increasingly prevalent in recent years due to its ability to provide accessible and convenient care to patients regardless of their location. However, the validation of many neuropsychological tools for distance assessments remains limited, and there is a particular lack of remotely administered assessment tests with alternate forms, which are crucial for monitoring symptoms and performance in clinical contexts and for minimizing practice effects in research practice. Consequently, the present study was aimed at evaluating the consistency of the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) scores across videoconference and face-to-face administrations and to examine whether the scores obtained via videoconference support interpretations similar to those obtained via face-to-face administration. A total of 185 participants aged between 20 and 79 years (M=46.24, SD=19.63) underwent RBANS testing twice: once in person using the standard pen-and-paper modality and once remotely via videoconference, using Alternate Forms A and B to mitigate the learning effects. Results from the linear mixed models revealed no significant differences between remote and face-to-face administrations based on the modality of administration (p>0.05). Bayes factors supported the null hypothesis, suggesting that RBANS performance is consistent across the two modalities of administration. However, discrepancies were observed in certain subtests between alternate forms of the RBANS, highlighting the need for standardization. In conclusion, findings suggested that the same norms that are used to interpret the RBANS scores obtained via face-to-face administration may be employed when administered remotely through videoconferencing. Accordingly, the study provides valuable insights into the feasibility of remote neuropsychological assessment and underscores the potential utility of videoconference technology in clinical and research settings.

Ismail Mohamed Sh Abukar,1 Abdirashid Ali Asir Rage,1 Mohamed Omar Warsame2 1School of Public Health and Research, Somali National University, Mogadishu, Somalia; 2Department of Public Health, Federal Ministry of Health and Human Services, Mogadishu, SomaliaCorrespondence: Mohamed Omar Warsame, Email diirshe143@gmail.comBackground: An important mental health concern is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), especially for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the Horn of Africa. Limited access to psychosocial support and primary health care exacerbates mental health issues.Aim: This study was to examine the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder and factors associated with IDPs in Mogadishu.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from Sep 25 to Oct 20, 2023, employing analytical design. The study population included individuals aged 18 and older directly exposed to forced displacement due to conflicts and disasters. A multistage random sampling method was used, with a final sample size of 364 participants from over 20 different camps in Daynile and KAHDA. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) was assessed using Questionnaire of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5).Results: The prevalence of PTSD among participants was 60%. The PTSD prevalence was highest among male respondents at 75% compared to 54% among the females with over half (63%) of the PTSD cases being females, while 37% were males. Only 0.3% reported the availability of mental health services, emphasizing the lack of adequate support.Conclusion: The study highlights a significant prevalence of PTSD among Mogadishu’s IDPs, underscoring the immediate need for mental health prioritization to address challenges in conflict-affected areas. The lack of mental health integration into primary care requires urgent intervention for enhanced services in the Horn of Africa. Recommendations propose targeted mental health interventions, especially for females, addressing gender-based violence and loss. Programs should consider those with multiple displacements, addressing cumulative trauma impact. Providing comprehensive support for those facing property destruction is crucial. Collaborative efforts among humanitarian organizations, local authorities, and mental health professionals are vital for an effective response to the mental health challenges faced by IDPs in conflict-affected areas.Keywords: prevalence, post-traumatic, stress disorder, factors and internal displaced persons

Background: Online helplines have shown a high acceptance, feasibility, and usability, especially with young people. Helplines usually aim to provide one-time crisis intervention; however, there are users who frequently use such services, tying a disproportionately large proportion of service capacities. To date, there is no research on the characterization of frequent users of online helplines. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to characterize frequent chatters in a chat-based counseling context. Methods: This cross-sectional study retrospectively analyzed anonymous data of users who approached the German messenger-based psychological chat counseling service krisenchat between May 2020 and July 2021 (N = 6657), with a focus on frequent users - the “frequent chatters”. Frequent chatters were defined as those who received an above average (M + 2 ∗ SD) amount of messages from counselors over a period of one week and had at least 7 days of contact with the service over the entire data collection period. Chi-square-tests and Mann-Whitney-U tests were conducted to identify differences between frequent users and the population of all users. Results: In total, n = 99 (1.5 %) users met the definition for frequent chatters and accounted for roughly a tenth (9.85 %) of all chats of the service. The mean frequent chatter was 17 years old (M = 17.29, SD = 3.56), female (n = 78, 82.1 %), and approached the service in the late afternoon (M = 5:00 pm, SD = 5:25 h). Compared to the general user population, frequent chatters reported significantly more severe concerns to counselors, of which 81.8 % included psychiatric symptoms, such as suicidality (43.4 %) and non-suicidal self-injury (41.4 %). In addition, frequent chatters were significantly more likely to contact krisenchat alongside the use of other professional help services. Further, frequent chatters wrote significantly longer and more messages during the counseling process and within a session than the general user population of krisenchat. Compared to the general user population, frequent chatters did not differ in their satisfaction with the service. Conclusion: Frequent users are known from telephone helplines and are also represented in a chat-based context. Compared to the general user population, they are more likely to report serious mental health conditions and half of them currently receive professional help, suggesting a high need for social support. In light of the increasing development of chat-based helplines, there is a need for further research on frequent chatters to develop tailored counseling strategies for their needs and to analyze options for an optimized service provision.

Self-regulation, the ability to control thoughts, emotions, and behavior for goal-directed activities, shows rapid development in infancy, toddlerhood, and preschool periods. Early self-regulatory skills predict later academic achievement and socioemotional adjustment. An increasing number of studies suggest that screen media use may have negative effects on children’s developing self-regulatory skills. In this systematic review, we summarized and integrated the findings of the studies investigating the relationship between young children’s screen media use and their self-regulation. We searched the ERIC, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Web of Science databases and identified 39 relevant articles with 45 studies. We found that screen time in infancy is negatively associated with self-regulation, but findings were more inconsistent for later ages suggesting that screen time does not adequately capture the extent of children’s screen media use. The findings further indicated that background TV is negatively related to children’s self-regulation, and watching fantastical content seems to have immediate negative effects on children’s self-regulatory skills. We suggest that future studies should take the content and context of children’s screen media use into account and also focus on parent- and home-related factors such as parental behaviors that foster the development of self-regulatory skills.

The COVID-19 pandemic that has occurred since the beginning of 2019 has changed various aspects of human life. The rapid spread of the virus has restricted human activities, ranging from economic, educational, to socio-religious activities. This situation is a new thing for humans giving rise to various experiences. This study aimed to understand individual psychological experiences, including thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and perceptions in facing the pandemic in various age groups. This research consisted of two stages: the grounded theory survey approach and the phenomenological approach. In the first stage, as many as 447 participants of adolescence and early, middle to late adulthood have filled out an online questionnaire via the google form. The next stage was interviews with 15 participants related to experiences in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. The interview results were then analyzed using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis method. The results showed that most adolescents described the COVID-19 pandemic as a crisis, while most of the adult group described it with negative emotions. All age groups decided on health as their main concern. Most of the participants considered that there were things to be grateful for during the COVID-19 pandemic. Groups of adolescents and early and middle adults made their family the thing they were most grateful for during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, the late adult group placed health as most grateful for. Gratitude was also believed to be a provision for someone to survive and see the positive side of an unpleasant event.

Recent research has highlighted the multifaceted nature of friendship; however, the purpose of this study is to quantify the benefits of friendship at work. The study investigates the impact of supervisor behavioral integrity on employee proactive behavior. Moreover, it constructed a moderated mediation model based on attachment theory to examine the function of affective commitment as a mediator and workplace friendship as a moderator.Methods: In three stages, 266 employee data from 20 Pakistani service industries were gathered (including seven banks, four educational institutes, five travel firms, and four telecom providers). Data on supervisor behavioral integrity, workplace friendship, affective commitment, employee proactive behavior, and demographics were collected between March and September 2020.Findings: The findings indicated that supervisor behavioral integrity had a beneficial impact on employee proactive behavior. Affective commitment mediates the relation between supervisor behavioral integrity and employee proactive behavior. Furthermore, workplace friendship moderates the relationship between supervisor behavioral integrity and affective commitment and the indirect impact of supervisor behavioral integrity on employee proactive behavior through affective commitment.Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, workplace friendship is an essential informal aspect in any organization. Leadership as a formal organizational component would be greatly agitated even when employees have a low level of workplace friendship. Friendship in the workplace inspires employees to take action in order to succeed.Keywords: supervisor behavioral integrity, affective commitment, employee proactive behavior, workplace friendship, attachment theory

Nurses hold pivotal role during COVID-19 pandemic through providing care toward the infected patients. Various pressures experienced by the nurses while working with COVID-19 patients affected their mental health states. This systematic review attempted to describe the mental health state of nurses who specifically work with COVID-19 patients. Five journals published in 2020 by international publishers were assessed for the methodological rigorousness including the title and its abstract, introduction and research aims, method and data, sampling, data analysis, ethics and bias, results, transferability, as well as the implications and usefulness. Through rigorous review of five studies using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) protocol, the mental health state of the nurses caring for patients diagnosed with COVID-19 patients can be inferred from emotional, cognitive and behavior components, with mental health aspects such as anxiety, anger, fear, sadness, distress, happiness, optimism and germ aversion. Findings from this systematic review can be further developed as a more elaborate research using psychological variables found in nurses caring for COVID-19 patients

Introduction: Opioid misuse is a public health crisis in the US, and misuse of synthetic opioids such as fentanyl have driven the most recent waves of opioid-related deaths. Because those who misuse fentanyl are often a hidden and high-risk group, innovative methods for identifying individuals at risk for fentanyl misuse are needed. Machine learning has been used in the past to investigate discussions surrounding substance use on Reddit, and this study leverages similar techniques to identify risky content from discussions of fentanyl on this platform. Methods: A codebook was developed by clinical domain experts with 12 categories indicative of fentanyl misuse risk, and this was used to manually label 391 Reddit posts and comments. Using this data, we built machine learning classification models to identify fentanyl risk. Results: Our machine learning risk model was able to detect posts or comments labeled as risky by our clinical experts with 76% accuracy and 76% sensitivity. Furthermore, we provide a vocabulary of community-specific, colloquial words for fentanyl and its analogues. Discussion: This study uses an interdisciplinary approach leveraging machine learning techniques and clinical domain expertise to automatically detect risky discourse, which may elicit and benefit from timely intervention. Moreover, our vocabulary of online terms for fentanyl and its analogues expands our understanding of online “street” nomenclature for opiates. Through an improved understanding of substance misuse risk factors, these findings allow for identification of risk concepts among those misusing fentanyl to inform outreach and intervention strategies tailored to this at-risk group.

Abstract In the industrial 4.0 era, the development of an intelligent manufacturing business model is driven by satisfying customer needs and intelligent algorithms. Enterprises are desirous of adapting a product to the personalized needs of customers to the maximum possible extent. Thus, they increase production configuration diversity, and this leads to increased cost and less efficiency. In order to improve the economy and efficiency of production, this paper proposes an intelligent type-decreased mass customized product configuration method with an improved fuzzy clustering algorithm that combines the Kano’s model and social inertia. The Kano’s model is improved, and social inertia is introduced into the product configuration to adapt to customer psychology and gain better configuration results. We apply this intelligent proposed algorithm to the design of a tablet PC and verify that the improved algorithm is operable and effective in dealing with customer demands and decreases in the variety of products.

However, little is known about the mental health crisis of the pandemic in Sub-Saharan countries. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the magnitude of psychological problems and associated factors among communities living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from March 10 to 30, 2020. Data were collected from 420 respondents selected using a consecutive sampling technique. An online self-administered and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) survey during the initial phase of the pandemic was conducted to assess the presence of psychological problems for the last two weeks in response to the infection.Results: The magnitude of the psychological problem from moderate to severe levels was 66.4%. The predictor variables of the outcome were female gender, above the secondary level of education, monthly income below 3000 ETB, and more than three family size at 95% CI, P< 0.05.Conclusion: At the time of the initial COVID-19 pandemic in Ethiopia, nearly two-thirds of the respondents reported moderate to severe levels of psychological problems. Therefore, working on those identified factors would be vital to promote the mental resilience of a community towards the pandemic.Keywords: anxiety, depression, stress, coronavirus, psychological problem

Background: A considerable proportion of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) have psychotic symptoms during the illness. This subset of BD due to its genetic susceptibility and family segregation has considerable overlap with schizophrenia. However, the extent to which BD patients with psychotic symptoms and without psychotic symptoms differ on neurocognitive functions is still not completely clear. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the neurocognitive functions in BD patients with psychotic symptoms and BD without psychotic symptoms in comparison with healthy volunteers (HVs). Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition BD (16 with psychotic symptoms) and thirty age- and sex-matched HVs were recruited in the study. Clinical severity was assessed using structured rating scales. The presence of psychotic symptoms was assessed using the Lifetime Dimensions of Psychosis Scale (LDPS). All patients underwent tests, namely continuous performance test, Stroop Word-Color interference test, and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, to measure executive functions. Differences between groups were examined using analysis of covariance with age and sex as covariates. Results: There was a significant difference between groups on the performance of all the three tests, with patients performing poorer than HVs. While the HVs differed from both BD with psychotic symptoms and without psychotic symptoms, there was no difference between BD patients with and without psychotic symptoms. There was no significant correlation between LDPS score and scores on neurocognitive tests. Conclusion: The study findings, at least with respect to cognitive function, suggest that BD with psychotic symptoms may not be a categorically distinct subtype of BD. Cognitive functions need to be assessed in all patients with BD, regardless of psychotic symptoms, and remediation interventions need to be provided.

Depression is one of the most prevalent mental health disorders and is estimated to become the leading cause of disability worldwide by 2030. Increasing access to effective treatment for depression is a major societal challenge. In this context, the increasing use of computers in the form of laptops or smartphones has made it feasible to increase access to mental healthcare through digital technology. In this study, we examined the effectiveness of a 14-week therapist-guided Internet-delivered program for patients with major depression undergoing routine care. From 2015 to 2018, 105 patients were included in the study. For depressive symptoms, we identified significant within-group effect sizes (post-treatment: d = 0.96; 6-month follow-up: d = 1.21). We also found significant effects on secondary anxiety and insomnia symptoms (d = 0.55–0.92). Clinically reliable improvement was reported by 48% of those undergoing the main parts of the treatment, whereas 5% of the participants reported a clinically significant deterioration. However, a large proportion of patients showed no clinically reliable change. In summary, the study identified large treatment effects, but also highlighted room for improvement in the usability of the treatment.

Jana Marie Havigerová, Jaroslava Dosedlová, Iva Burešová Institute of Psychology, Faculty of Arts, Masaryk Univeristy, 603 00 Brno, Czech Republic Objective: Of the many existing health models, models of health behavior are considered optimal for research and application as they focus on concrete forms of behavior that support, maintain, or undermine one’s health, and they accentuate the individual as the initiator of this behavior. Research in this area follows a broad range of concrete partial manifestations of health behavior. Is it necessary to differentiate between various types of health behavior or could these partial manifestations be combined under one common scale? Methods: Data acquisition tool: Health-Related Behavior Scale (HRBS, 42 items). Data processing methods: principal component analysis (the internal structure of HRBS), confirmatory factor analysis (the latent factor structure of four tested models). Sample: N=1,664 adult respondents. Results: The HRBS described ten areas of health-related behavior (ten extracted factors). All tested models of latent structure showed almost identical mathematical and statistical values of the model. Conclusion: Health-related behavior includes a set of partial behaviors (behavior related to nutrition, addictive substances, movement, and physical exercises). An unambiguous latent factor structure has not been revealed. An open question remains whether there is one latent factor behind all health-related behaviors or whether there are multiple latent factors. The use of one or the other model should be deduced from the underlying theory and research objectives. To find a reliable model of health behavior, it is necessary to include moderators and mediators such as personality, attitude, or economic status. Keywords: health-related behavior, model, latent variable analysis

Unemployment in Indonesia, especially in human resource competition of MEA era is not only occurring on low educated workforce, but also on higher educated (Bachelor). Whereas, “obtain jobs not more than 4 months after graduating” is one of the performance indicator in University, Fresh Graduate should be the determinant of Organization’s/Company’s sustainability and development. They should have readiness to face the high work demands. Readiness at work, consists of ability (job readiness) and willingness (psychological readiness). The need analysis on Fresh Graduates of PTN-X Bandung shows that most of them need proper training to increase their readiness in entering working world. Therefore, it is important to do readiness training which called “Psychological Readiness and Job Readiness Training” for Fresh Graduate of PTN- X in Bandung. This research is an action research with one group pretest–posttest design experimental approach. The result of this research shows that “Psychological Readiness & Job Readiness Training” program is effective and plays a role in increasing Fresh Graduates’ readiness at work. The Increasing is more on Willingness/Psychological Readiness aspect than Ability/Job Readiness aspect, quite significantly in knowledge and the level of readiness at work.
