The psychologically rich life questionnaire: Italian validation and exploration of its relationships with mindfulness, self-compassion, and cognitive fusion within the health psychology framework
Authors: Mauro Federica , Di Trani Michela , Simione Luca 
Published: February 2025

IntroductionBased on the theoretical framework that a fulfilling life encompasses happiness, meaning, and psychological richness, this study introduces the Italian translation of the Psychologically Rich Life Questionnaire (PRLQ-I), exploring its connection with mindfulness, self-compassion, cognitive fusion, and anxiety, positing psychological richness as a critical, yet distinct, component of well-being. Psychological richness, characterized by diverse and interesting experiences, complements the hedonic and eudaimonic dimensions of well-being, offering a broader perspective on what constitutes a meaningful life.MethodsAfter a subsequent back translation procedure, the resulting questionnaire version was checked for the comprehensibility of the items. Then, the PRLQ-I’s reliability and single-factor structure were evaluated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses in a large sample (N = 418) of the Italian population, as well as convergent and discriminant validity.ResultsThe exploratory factor analysis confirmed the original PRLQ structure, indicating one dimension, namely psychological richness, and the excellent internal consistency of the questionnaire. The confirmatory factor analysis revealed a good fit of the model for the one-factor structure. We then showed that psychological richness is positively associated with mindfulness and self-compassion, confirming that psychological richness is related to other happiness constructs but appears to be distinct from them. Moreover, psychological richness is inversely related to anxiety and cognitive fusion.DiscussionThese results demonstrate the optimal reliability of the scale, even in its Italian version. They moreover provide suggestions for incorporating these related dimensions into programs designed to promote psychological richness, confirming its role in enhancing psychological well-being.

IntroductionMothers are exposed to a variety of stressors in the early years of their children’s lives, being at risk for mental illness. The aim of our analysis was to estimate the type and frequency of and potential risk factors for psychiatric disorders in mothers with children aged up to three years.MethodsBased on random population samples from three urban areas in Germany, mothers of infants were recruited for a population-based cohort study as part of the SKKIPPI project. The subjects underwent a two-stage screening process at baseline: A standardized psychiatric diagnostic interview using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I- 7) was conducted only with mothers who showed an elevated psychosocial and mental health burden. Mothers with specific psychiatric disorders were invited for follow-up after six months.Results814 mothers participated in the psychiatric interview, 304 in the follow-up. At baseline interview, 5% of the mothers had at least one current psychiatric disorder. Generalized anxiety disorders (2%) and major depressive episodes (1%) were the most common disorders. Of these mothers, 42% were still affected at the 6-month follow-up. Risk factors were having at least one strong stressor in life, a severe negative experience in the own childhood, a previously diagnosed psychiatric disorder, a low/medium educational level, and having already received support through early childhood support programs.DiscussionThe occurrence of psychiatric disorders in mothers with young children seemed lower than previously reported, in the majority symptoms disappeared after 6 months. The study provides important information on the frequency of psychiatric disorders in this group and enables care services to be adapted to meet their needs.

IntroductionAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) identification poses significant challenges due to its multifaceted and diverse nature, necessitating early discovery for operative involvement. In a recent study, there has been a lot of talk about how deep learning algorithms might improve the diagnosis of ASD by analyzing neuroimaging data.MethodTo overrule the negatives of current techniques, this research proposed a revolutionary strategic model called the Unified Transformer Block for Multi-View Graph Attention Networks (MVUT_GAT). For the purpose of extracting delicate outlines from physical and efficient functional MRI data, MVUT_GAT combines the advantages of multi-view learning with attention processes.ResultWith the use of the ABIDE dataset, a thorough analysis shows that MVUT_GAT performs better than Mutli-view Site Graph Convolution Network (MVS_GCN), outperforming it in accuracy by +3.40%. This enhancement reinforces our suggested model’s effectiveness in identifying ASD. The result has implications over higher accuracy metrics. Through improving the accuracy and consistency of ASD diagnosis, MVUT_GAT will help with early interference and assistance for ASD patients.DiscussionMoreover, the proposed MVUT_GAT’s which patches the distance between the models of deep learning and medical visions by helping to identify biomarkers linked to ASD. In the end, this effort advances the knowledge of recognizing autism spectrum disorder along with the powerful ability to enhance results and the value of people who are undergone.

Published: February 2025

BackgroundThe fast pace of modem life brings great pressure, which lead to physical and mental health issues. Researches have demonstrated that forest bathing can considerably alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, eliminate negative emotions and promote mental wellbeing. We presented evidences of the positive impact of forest bathing on mental health in the context rapid urbanization and surging health needs in the post-pandemic era, and outlined the current insights into the related factors affecting the effect of forest bathing, as to provide directions for future interventions or research.MethodThe electronic databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science Core Collections and the China Academic Journals (CAJ) offered through the Full-text Database (CNKI) were searched for relevant studies published from the inception of the databases to December 2024. The initial search strategy was performed using keywords, MeSH terms, and free text words such as “forest bathing”, “forest medicine”, “mental health pressure”, “anxiety”, “depression”, “cortisol”, etc.ResultsThe synthesis of the findings in the included studies revealed that forest bathing interventions might improve mental and physical health, reduce blood pressure, improve sleep quality and boost immunity, as well as alleviate depression, anxiety, and stress. Furthermore, the effect of forest bathing on mental health indicators and the differences in these results among different populations varied. Forest environment, tree species, exposure duration, season, composition and concentration of volatile organic compounds have an impact on the effect of forest bathing.ConclusionsForest bathing were effective in lowering cortisol levels, reducing sympathetic nerve activity, as well as improving negative mood, which could serve as a non-pharmacological treatment for mental health in the general population.

Published: February 2025

ObjectiveThis study investigates the association between diabetes and chronic pain across various body regions in individuals aged 50 years and older, while assessing the influence of gender, hypertension status, age, and glycemic control on this relationship.MethodsData from the 2015 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) database included 10,315 participants, with 1,983 diabetic and 8,332 non-diabetic individuals. Logistic regression models assessed the relationship between diabetes and chronic pain, adjusting for confounders. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on gender, age, and hypertension status, and the risk of pain in diabetic patients with well-controlled glycemia was compared to that in non-diabetic individuals.ResultsDiabetes significantly increased the risk of pain in multiple body regions (p &lt; 0.05). Diabetes was associated with a higher risk of headaches in males [OR = 1.33 (1.05–1. 69), p = 0.02] and individuals aged 65 or older [OR = 1.28 (1.04–1.58), p = 0.02]. Among non-hypertensive individuals, diabetes was not associated with an increased risk of pain. In females, hypertensives, and individuals under 65, diabetes significantly increased pain across multiple regions (p &lt; 0.05). Diabetic individuals with well-controlled glycemia still showed a higher risk of finger [OR = 1.34 (1.03–1.76), p = 0.03] and toe pain [OR = 1.44 (1.05–1.99), p = 0.03] compared to non-diabetics.ConclusionDiabetes is linked to increased pain in multiple body regions, especially in females, hypertensives, and those under 65. Even with good glycemic control, diabetic individuals remain at higher risk for finger and toe pain.

Authors: Yu Xinran , Wang Yifeng , Liu Zhengyang , Jung Euitay 
Published: February 2025

IntroductionDespite advancements in digital health, systematic evaluations of mobile applications (Apps) for diabetes management are limited.MethodsResearchers conducted searches on PUBMED, EMBASE, COCHRANE, SCOPUS, and WEB OF SCIENCE from inception to August 2024. The researchers included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effectiveness of app-based interventions in health management among diabetic patients. Reviewers were paired and independently conducted the screening of studies, data extraction, and evaluation of study quality. The primary outcome of interest was the modification of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). The researchers utilized a random effects model to calculate the weighted mean differences (WMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and used the I2 statistic to assess study heterogeneity. Publication bias for the primary outcomes underwent assessment. Studies were Appraised for quality using the Cochrane Risk of Bias assessment.Results41 studies of 3911 initially identified articles that met the selection criteria. The results showed that Apps’ intervention significantly improved glycemic control in diabetic patients, with a mean reduction in HbA1c levels of 0.49% (95%CI: –0.65 to –0.32%) compared to standard care. The analysis also revealed that Apps enhanced patient self-management behaviors. Subgroup analyses failed to resolve heterogeneity, but studies consistently observed improved HbA1c levels. The quality assessment results indicated that most studies performed well in the completeness of outcome data and selective reporting.DiscussionThis meta-analysis confirms that mobile health applications with practical technological functionalities and system architectures are beneficial in managing diabetes. These applications significantly reduced HbA1c levels and improved self-management behaviors. Although some studies exhibited a moderate risk of bias, the overall evidence supports using these applications as valuable tools in diabetes care. Future research should standardize application features, refine system architectures, and address bias issues to enhance.Systematic Review RegistrationPROSPERO (CRD42023441365).
Is transphyseal intramedullary fixation of the distal radius in pediatric fractures a safe procedure? An MRI study

Published: February 2025

BackgroundRadius and ulna fractures are very common in the pediatric population. Despite the use of pinning through the growth plate, which was proposed in the past and is still being used to treat these fractures, an instrumental validation to define this procedure as safe has not yet been done. Because of this, in the absence of reliable data regarding the passage of fixation devices through the growth plate, most surgical techniques used for treating radius and ulna fractures are based on absolute respect for the growth cartilage. We conducted an MRI pilot study to evaluate the presence of any growth disturbances, bone bridge formation across the physis, or premature closure of the cartilage, to verify the correlation between wire diameter and the percentage of lesions tolerated by the growth plate and to confirm the safety of the trans-physeal pinning procedure. To specifically avoid the wrist fracture healing process near the growth plate as possible bias of the study, we enrolled only patients with mid-shaft forearm fractures.Materials and methodsWe evaluated 26 patients with diaphyseal forearm fractures who underwent intramedullary percutaneous transphyseal fixation of the distal radius with a Kirschner wire. Intramedullary K-wire and plaster cast were removed, without a second surgery or anesthesia, about 35-40 days after surgery. A clinical and radiographic evaluation was performed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months from surgery. We conducted a comparative MRI evaluation of both wrists 12 months after the removal of the K-wire to exclude any growth plate damage related to the passage of the wire through it.Resultsclinical data underlined excellent results in most patients. Radiographic healing was achieved in all cases at three months. No significative cartilage disturbances related to the procedure were found in any patient. An asymmetrical bridge that did not correspond to the wire position was found in some older patients, probably related to the initial phase of the growth plate closure process.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that the percutaneous trans-physeal technique could become a valid alternative to the standard method, offering a rapid learning curve, shorter surgical times, and reduced healthcare costs.

Sumatra Selatan merupakan salah satu penghasil produksi padi di Indonesia. Tipologi lahan sawah di Sumatra Selatan didominasi oleh empat tipologi lahan yaitu: lebak, pasang surut, tadah hujan, dan irigasi. Adanya perbedaan tipologi lahan akan menghasilkan produksi dan produktivitas yang berbeda sehingga memengaruhi pendapatan dan tingkat kesejahteraan petani. Munculnya pandemi Covid-19 membuat sektor pertanian menjadi tidak normal sehingga menyebabkan terjadinya krisis yang memengaruhi tingkat kesejahteraan petani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perbedaan pendapatan dan tingkat kesejahteraan petani padi pada tipologi lahan berbeda di Sumatra Selatan dan menganalisis perubahannya akibat pandemi Covid-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survei dengan dua lokasi penelitian yaitu Kabupaten Banyuasin yang mewakili lahan pasang surut dan Kabupaten Musi Banyuasin yang mewakili lahan tadah hujan dengan total sampel 90 rumah tangga petani padi. Data diolah secara matematis dengan rumus pendapatan dan Nilai Tukar Petani, selanjutnya dianalisis dengan uji t dua sampel berpasangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendapatan dan tingkat kesejahteraan petani padi lahan pasang surut dan lahan tadah hujan di Sumatra Selatan mengalami penurunan saat pandemi Covid-19. NTP lahan pasang surut sebelum pandemi Covid-19 sebesar 110,92 turun menjadi 98,05 saat pandemi Covid-19, sedangkan pada lahan tadah hujan dari 120,06 turun menjadi 100,50.

South Sumatra is one of the rice producers in Indonesia. Rice fields in South Sumatra are typically classified into one of four land types: lowland, tidal land, rainfed, or irrigated. Differences in land typologies result in varying production and productivity levels, which in turn affect farmers’ income and overall welfare. The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic made the agricultural sector abnormal, causing a crisis that affected the level of farmers’ welfare. This research aimed to analyze differences in income and welfare levels of rice farmers on different land typologies in South Sumatra and analyze changes due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This research used a survey method with two research locations, Banyuasin Regency as the sample of tidal land and Musi Banyuasin Regency as the sample of rainfed land with a total sample of 90 rice farming households. The data was processed mathematically using the income formula and Farmer Exchange Rate, then analyzed using a paired t-test. The results showed that the income and welfare of tidal and rainfed rice farmers in South Sumatra declined during the Covid-19 pandemic. The Farmer Exchange Rate for tidal land before the Covid-19 pandemic was 110.92, dropping to 98.05 during the Covid-19 pandemic, while on rainfed land it dropped from 120.06 to 100.50.
