Exploring the mediating roles of cognitive and behavioural coping strategies on the relationship between age and well-being
Creators: name: Knowles, Simon

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the possible mediating role of various cognitive and behavioural coping strategies on the relationship between age and psychological (i.e., cognitive and somatic anxiety) and physiological (i.e., chronic fatigue, digestive and cardiovascular symptoms) well-being. Fourteen specific individual coping strategies (four disengagement, four engagement, and six behavioural) were assessed in this study. The four disengagement and four engagement coping styles were taken from the Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI) included in the Standard Shiftwork Index (SSI), while the six behavioural coping strategies were based on recommendations published within the shiftwork literature (e.g., exercising, altering family or social life commitments to fit in with working shifts, advising friends and family about shift patterns, etc). Three open-ended questions were also included in the questionnaire allowing shiftworkers to provide further contextual detail about the specific coping strategies utilised. One hundred and eight Police Officers with at least 12 months shiftworking experience completed a modified version of the SSI and an active coping questionnaire. A series of exploratory stepwise regressions provided evidence that shiftworkers utilise a constellation of different coping strategies, and that each of these coping strategies may mediate specific aspects of the relationship between age and psychological and/or physiological well-being. Comments from shiftworkers provided further evidence for the variety of coping strategies utilised to help adapt to shiftwork.
Witchcraft and occult crime within a contemporary Canadian context.

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Religion, General.

description: This thesis deals with the place of witchcraft and occult crime within contemporary social relations, particularly in the areas of law and enforcement. The methodology combines a sampling of case law for charges laid under section 365 of the Canadian Criminal Code, outlining the crime of 'Pretending to Practise Witchcraft', as well as the surveying of a decade of Canadian media coverage, between the years of 1987 and 1997, for events associated with witchcraft and the occult. Coverage was studied for the selection of events that invoked either formal intervention by the state or some manner of informal community mobilization. The analysis is two-fold. The case law for section 365 is examined in depth to determine how the law has interpreted the crime of witchcraft over this past century. Ten cases are reviewed to determine how the court system defined and tried the crime of witchcraft as well as to identify any major shifts or changes in this process. In the second component of the thesis, dealing with events identified through media coverage, Jock Young's ' Square of Crime' is used as framework for the analysis and organization of the data.

subject: Climate | Energy

description: Germany is obligated to report its national emissions of greenhouse gases, annually, to the European Union and the United Nations. Over 80 % of the greenhouse-gas emissions reported by Germany occur via combustion of fossil fuels. The great majority of the emissions consist of carbon dioxide. To calculate carbon dioxide emissions, one needs both the relevant activity data and suitable emission factors, with the latter depending on the applicable fuel quality and input quantities. In light of these elements' importance for emission factors, the German inventory uses country-specific emission factors rather than international, average factors. To determine such factors, one requires a detailed knowledge of the fuel compositions involved, especially with regard to carbon content and net calorific values. The present publication provides an overview of the quality characteristics of the most important fuels used in Germany and of the CO2 emission factors calculated on the basis of those characteristics. Since annual greenhouse-gas emissions have to be calculated back to 1990, the study also considers fuels that are no longer used today. To that end, archival data are used. Gaps in the data are closed with the help of methods for recalculation back through the base year. Quelle: Umweltbundesamt

Subjects: subject: Biology, Animal Physiology.

description: In situ and in vivo experiments were performed on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to examine (i) the direct effect of CO2 on the systemic vasculature and (ii) the influence of internal versus external hypercarbic acidosis on a variety of cardiovascular variables. Adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were exposed to acute, localized environmental hypercarbia (2.0 and 4.0% CO2 in air) over the gills via injections (60 ml/kg) of equilibrated seawater directly into the buccal cavity. Adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) were exposed to acute environmental hypercarbia (approximately 20 min). Experiments were performed to examine the influence of environmental hypercarbia on aspects of cardiorespiratory physiology, and in separate series of experiments the muscarinic antagonist atropine (100 nmol kg-1; both species) and complete branchial denervation (dogfish) were used to investigate putative CO2-chemoreceptive sites on the gills and their link to the autonomic nervous system. The homogeneity of the cardiovascular and ventilatory responses amongst fish to elevated ambient CO2 was investigated by exposing six species of fish to acute environmental hypercarbia (approximately 20 min). The experiments were performed in vivo using two marine teleosts, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and Pacific sanddab (Citharychthus sordidus); two freshwater teleosts, brown bullhead (Ictalurus nebulosus) and American eel (Anguilla rostrata); as well as one marine elasmobranch, the Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias).

description: In this study, an in vitro tyrosinase inhibition assay in combination with ultra performance liquid chromatography-orbitrap mass spectrometry (UPLC-orbitrap-MS) was developed for the rapid screening and identification of tyrosinase modulators from roots of Angelica keiskei. Of the 15 candidates considered, nine chalcones, xanthoangelols (1), B (2), D (3), E (4), G (5), H (6), 4-hydroxyderricin (7), xanthokeismin B (8) and (2E)-1-[4-hydroxy-2-(2-hydroxy-2-propanyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-7-yl]-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one (9), five coumarins, umbelliferone (10), selinidin (11), isopimpinellin (12), phellopterin (13) and xanthyletin (14), and one other compound, ashitabaol A (15), were distinguished between the test samples and the controls with statistical significance, and the structure of each compound was determined by comparing with in-house standards and the literature. Among these, six compounds, xanthoangelol (1), xanthoangelol D (3), xanthoangelol H (6), 4-hydroxyderricin (7), laserpitin (16) and isolaserpitin (17), were isolated from roots of A. keiskei. Of the compounds isolated, compounds 1, 7 and 16 were subjected to tyrosinase inhibitory assay, and the IC50 values were 15.87 ± 1.21, 60.14 ± 2.29 and >100 μM, respectively. The present study indicated that the combination of in vitro tyrosinase inhibition assay coupled with UPLC-MS/MS could be widely applied to the rapid screening of active substances from various natural resources.

description: Introduction: Deficits in social skills can be an important modulating factor in the development and progress of various mental disorders. However, limited resources in inpatient care often impede effective social skills training. This study investigates the feasibility of a blended group training for social skills (SST) in an inpatient psychiatric setting. Methods and Analysis: For this one-group pretest–posttest trial, inpatients with a diagnosed mental disorder were recruited. Participation in the blended SST lasted four weeks and took place within usual inpatient psychiatric care. The blended intervention comprised four face-to-face group sessions and three complementary online modules within four weeks. Assessments took place before (t1) and after (t2) the training. Feasibility outcomes (use, acceptance, satisfaction, implementability into usual psychiatric inpatient care) and effectiveness outcomes regarding social skills were assessed. Results: N = 15 participants were recruited. Most patients completed all questionnaires (93%) and all modules of the blended SST concept (60%). All participants (100%) would recommend the blended intervention to a friend. Regarding social skills, exploratory analyses revealed a non-significant medium-sized effect (Cohen’s d = 0.5 95%CI 0.3 to 1.25, p = 0.08). Discussion: This trial shows that a blended care SST is feasible for the use in acute psychiatric inpatient care setting. Although the wards were acute, with high turnover and change of inpatients, 60% of participants were treated per protocol over four weeks. Overall, the evidence on blended care concepts in psychiatric care settings is extremely poor to date. Hence, this trial should encourage intensified blended inpatient psychiatric care research.
Demographic and social research on the population and environment nexus in Australia: explaining the gap
Creators: name: Betts, Katharine
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Solving the problem of the adverse impact of human numbers on the natural environment is a collective action problem and, if we are to understand it fully, we need good interdisciplinary research which includes work by demographers and sociologists. A number of factors inhibit this work in Australia: narrow disciplinary training; the scarcity of extrinsic rewards; and, as population growth has come to depend on immigration, the risk of peer disapproval. There is also little encouragement for such research from political leaders or the public. Indeed survey data show that the more Australians worry about the state of the environment the more likely they are to want a higher migrant intake.

description: Researchers have consistently shown that as a society, we have failed to protect a large number of Aboriginal children and youths from violence and aggression across multiple contexts. Aboriginal children and youth are at a disproportionate risk of being involved in violent victimization ranging from homicides, family violence, and physical and sexual abuse compared to the rest of Canadian children and youth. However, the extent to which Aboriginal children and youths are involved in bullying remain largely unknown. In the present study, data from a Canadian population-based study was used to examine ethnic and sex differences in children’s and youths’ involvement of different forms of bullying (general, physical, verbal, social). Participants were categorized into three broad ethnic groups: Aboriginal, Caucasian, and ethnic minority. Results indicated that across the forms of bullying, Aboriginal children and youths were more frequently involved than their non Aboriginal peers. Sex differences also emerged, such that, Aboriginal boys were more frequently physically victimized than their non Aboriginal, same sex peers while no ethnic group differences were found for girls. The results highlight the need for an Aboriginal-specific bullying policy and specialized programs and services at school to support this vulnerable group of Canadian school-aged children.

description: We explore the connection between the local escape velocity, Vesc, and the stellar population properties in the ATLAS3D survey, a complete, volume-limited sample of nearby early-type galaxies. We make use of ugriz photometry to construct Multi-Gaussian Expansion models of the surface brightnesses of our galaxies. We are able to fit the full range of surface brightness profiles found in our sample, and in addition we reproduce the results of state-of-the-art photometry in the literature with residuals of 0.04 mag. We utilize these photometric models and SAURON integral-field spectroscopy, combined with Jeans dynamical modelling, to determine the local Vesc derived from the surface brightness. We find that the local Vesc is tightly correlated with the Mg b and Fe5015 line strengths and optical colours, and anti-correlated with the Hβ line strength. In the case of the Mg b and colour–Vesc relations we find that the relation within individual galaxies follows the global relation between different galaxies. We intentionally ignored any uncertain contribution due to dark matter since we are seeking an empirical description of stellar population gradients in early-type galaxies that is ideal for quantitative comparison with model predictions. We also make use of single stellar population (SSP) modelling to transform our line strength index measurements into the SSP-equivalent parameters age (t), metallicity ([Z/H]) and α-enhancement [α/Fe]. The residuals from the relation are correlated with age, [α/Fe], molecular gas mass and local environmental density. We identify a population of galaxies that occur only at low Vesc that exhibit negative gradients in the Mg b– and Colour–Vesc relations. These galaxies typically have young central stellar populations and contain significant amounts of molecular gas and dust. Combining these results with N-body simulations of binary mergers we use the Mg b–Vesc relation to constrain the possible number of dry mergers experienced by the local early-type galaxy population – a typical massive early-type galaxy can have experienced only ∼1.5 major mergers before becoming a significant outlier in the Mg b–Vesc relation.

description: Les nouvelles technologies de l'information et de la communication #NTIC# sont devenues l'un des piliers de la société contemporaine. Des compétences nouvelles sont devenues nécessaires afin que les élèves puissent se déplacer aisément d’un contexte virtuel à l’autre. Préparer les jeunes à affronter les défis de la société du savoir au XXIe siècle implique, de la part de tous adultes responsables, une considération objective du potentiel des usages de ces outils dans différents cadres sociétaux. Ainsi, la présente étude porte sur l’impact des littératies technologiques sur l’estime de soi chez deux adolescents franco-ontariens. Les changements apportés par l’avènement des NTIC à la façon dont les jeunes consomment et produisent des textes #au sens large# ont déclenché des transformations au niveau de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage #Williams, 2008#. Celles-ci ont entraîné un déplacement paradigmatique dans le concept de littératie, reflété dans les nouvelles perspectives théoriques générées par les experts en littératie : les études sur les nouvelles littératies #ÉNL# #Barton, Hamilton et Ivanič, 2002; Gee, 1990; Kim, 2003; Street, 1984, 2003 cités par Masny, Maltais, Vézina et Dionne, 2007#, les multi-littératies #Cope et Kalantzis, 2000; Kress, 2000 cités par Mills, 2010#, et la théorie des littératies multiples #TLM# de Masny #2005#. Par la présente étude de cas multiples, je vise à analyser comment deux adolescents immigrants franco-ontariens s’investissent dans les littératies technologiques et quel est l’effet de cet investissement sur leur estime de soi. Le cadre conceptuel sur lequel cette recherche est fondée est la théorie des littératies multiples de Masny #2005# et le modèle d’autoévaluation de l’estime de soi de Harter #1990# qui complète, à mes yeux, celui de Masny #2005#. Selon les résultats de cette étude, les deux adolescents semblent s’investir dans les littératies technologiques à des fins d’apprentissage, de communication, de divertissement et d’exploration identitaire. Bien que chaque participant pratique une lecture différente des NTIC, chez les deux adolescents, l’investissement dans les littératies technologiques transforme leur lecture du mot, du monde et du soi par le biais du rapport qui s’établit entre leurs apprentissages et leur construction identitaire. En conformité avec les constats de l’étude de Harter #1990#, cette lecture rehausse leur estime de soi dans la mesure où le domaine spécifique d’autoévaluation #succès scolaire, acceptation sociale, apparence physique, etc.# est valorisé par l’adolescent.

description: Platon expose la théorie de l’ἀνάμνησις dans le Ménon, le Phédon et le Phèdre; nous soutenons que la doctrine est cohérente malgré les écarts entre ces présentations. L’interprétation de la réminiscence demande également de s’interroger sur la nature de l’innéisme platonicien, la valeur épistémologique de l’expérience et le rôle réservé au mythe. Nous traitons ces questions au travers d’une interprétation du rôle de la théorie dans chaque dialogue, en comparant chaque fois nos résultats avec les deux autres. La réminiscence vise à rendre compte des expériences suivantes : la reconnaissance de la nécessité de certaines vérités, l’utilisation de notions universelles pour décrire des réalités contingentes et la conversion spirituelle permise par un amour noble. Ces trois phénomènes sont expliqués par la remémoration d’un savoir acquis avant la naissance et oublié au moment de l’incarnation; nous n’avons pas conscience de ce savoir, mais il détermine notre expérience du monde à notre insu. Pour cette raison, la meilleure façon de décrire le statut de notre souvenir de la connaissance prénatale est de le tenir pour un archétype. Pour transformer le souvenir d’une forme en connaissance, nous devons, grâce à la dialectique, embrasser dans une définition tous les cas (réels ou hypothétiques) qui lui sont attribués; en effet, nous reconnaissons leur appartenance à cette nature en vertu du ressouvenir. L’âme affranchie du corps jouit d’une intuition plénière des réalités intelligibles, mais son statut change au moment de l’incarnation; en vertu de son rapport au devenir, elle ne peut saisir l’unité d’une forme que de façon synthétique, par le logos. La doctrine de l’anamnèse comporte ainsi, en plus de sa fonction épistémologique, une dimension anthropologique : elle implique une compréhension de l’âme humaine comme intermédiaire entre les choses sensibles et intelligibles. Par conséquent, l’anamnesis a des répercussions éthiques. En effet, la vie doit être une médiation entre ces deux ordres de réalité auxquels nous appartenons, de façon à nous conformer aux archétypes de l’excellence humaine, que nous ne pouvons ignorer sans renier une partie de nous-mêmes.
Chemo-dynamical simulations of the Milky Way

description: Using a state of the art galaxy formation software package, GCD+, we model the formation and evolution of galaxies which resemble our own Galaxy, the Milky Way. The simulations include gravity, gas dynamics, radiative gas cooling, star formation and stellar evolution, tracing the production of several elements and the subsequent pollution of the interstellar medium. The simulations are compared with observations in order to unravel the details of the Milky Way's formation. Several unresolved issues regarding the Galaxy's evolution are specifically addressed. In our first study, limits are placed on the mass contribution of white dwarfs to the dark matter halo which envelopes the Milky Way. We obtain this result by comparing the abundances of carbon and nitrogen produced by a white dwarf-progenitor-dominated halo with the abundances observed in the present day halo. Our results are inconsistent with a white dwarf component in the halo 5% (by mass), however mass fractions of ~1-2% cannot be ruled out. In combination with other studies, this result suggests that the dark matter in the Milky Way is probably non-baryonic. The second component of this thesis probes the dynamical signatures of the formation of the stellar halo. By tracing the halo stars in our simulation, we identify a group of high-eccentricity stars that can be traced to now-disrupted satellites that were accreted by the host galaxy. By comparing the phase space distribution of these stars in our simulations to observed high-eccentricity stars in the solar neighbourhood, we find devidence that such a group of stars - a 'stellar stream' - exists locally in our own Galaxy. Our next set of simulations demonstrate the importance of strong energy feedback from supernova explosions to the regulation of star formation. Strong feedback ensures that the building blocks of galaxy formation remain gas-rich at early epochs. We demonstrate that this process is necessary to reproduce the observed low mass and low metallicity of the stellar halo of the Milky Way. Our simulated galaxy is shown to have a thick disk component similar to that observed in the Milky Way through an abrupt discontinuity in the velocity dispersion-versus-age relation for solar neighbourhood stars. This final study suggests that the thick disk forms in a chaotic merging period during the Galaxy's formation. Our thick disk formation scenario is shown to be consistent with observed properties of the thick disk of the Milky Way.

description: Transitioning to solid-state batteries using polymer electrolytes results in inherently safer devices and can facilitate the use of sodium metal anodes enabling higher energy densities. In this work, solvent-free ternary polymer electrolytes based on cross-linked polyethylene oxide (PEO), sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl) imide (NaFSI) or sodium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (NaTFSI) and N-butyl-N-methyl-pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquids (ILs, Pyr14FSI or Pyr14TFSI) are developed. Synthesized polymer membranes are thoroughly characterized, verifying their good thermal and electrochemical stability, as well as a low glass transition and crystallinity, thus high segmental mobility of the polymer matrix. The latter results in good ionic conductivities around 1×10−3 S cm−1 at 20 °C. The polymer electrolytes are successfully employed in sodium-metal battery (SMB) cells operating at room temperature (RT) and using P2-Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2 layered oxide as cathode. The electrochemical performance strongly depends on the choice of anion in the conducting sodium salt and plasticizing IL. Furthermore, this solid-state SMB approach mitigates capacity fading drivers for the P2-Na2/3Ni1/3Mn2/3O2, resulting in high Coulombic efficiency (99.91 %) and high capacity retention (99 % after 100 cycles) with

description: Streaming current measurements were used to study the interaction of polyoxometalates (POMs) and nanoparticles (NPs) with flat surfaces as an alternative, innovative approach to infer POM and NP properties of potential sparse material in terms of charge and magnitude. With respect to POMs, the approach was able to reveal subtle details of charging properties of +7 vs. +8 charge at very low POM concentrations. For NPs, the sign of charge and even the zeta-potential curve was retrieved. Concerning NPs, mutual interaction between TiO2 and SiO2 surfaces was studied in some detail via macroscopic measurements. Post-mortem analysis of samples from electrokinetic studies and separate investigations via AFM and HRTEM verified the interactions between TiO2 NPs and SiO2 collector surfaces. The interactions in the SiO2/TiO2 system depend to some extent on NP morphology, but in all our systems, irreversible interactions were observed, which would make the studied types of NPs immobile in natural environments. Overall, we conclude that the measurement of streaming currents at flat surfaces is valuable (i) to study NP and POM collector surface interactions and (ii) to simultaneously collect NPs or POM (or other small mobile clusters) for further (structural, morphological or release) investigations.

description: Many studies have shown that mycorrhizal symbiosis can induce synthesis of phenolic compounds associated with plant protection against environmental stress factors. This protection could be beneficial for the plant, especially at early stages of mycorrhizal colonization. Therefore, it is hypothesized that mycorrhizal symbiosis induces changes in phenolic synthesis in the early stages of corn growth. Phenolic synthesis was studied by analyzing the activity of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and peroxidase and determining the concentration of phenolic compounds by spectrophotometry and HPLC. Two corn cultivars, Pioneer 3737 and Pride K127, were grown in the greenhouse, colonized or not with Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith (Premier Tech). Plants were harvested from the second to the tenth week of growth. Mycorrhizal colonization was around 20% for both maize cultivars Mycorrhizae tend to enhance PAL activity in corn roots at the fifth week. Peroxidase activity was significantly higher in mycorrhizal plants for all weeks studied. The concentrations of proteins and soluble phenolics were influenced by cultivars and mycorrhizae at certain weeks. Hydroxamic acid concentration was not different in mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal corn roots of Pioneer 3737. The low root colonization might have influenced the lack of differences between mycorrhizal and control plants. Mycorrhizal symbiosis seemed to induce an enzymatic defense response in maize at early stages of growth and colonization.

Getting Beyond Good and Evil: Reconciling Naturalism and Skepticism in Nietzsche's Middle Period

description: Philosophers such as Clark and Leiter propose that Nietzsche’s position on the concept of truth, while controversial in his early and middle periods, developed into something far less radical in his later works. They claim that Nietzsche should be understood as a naturalist who contends that we can attain truth, and that his falsification thesis, along with skeptical interpretations of it, is incoherent due to self-contradiction. I challenge these thinkers and what I call the naturalist interpretations because if Nietzsche’s middle period is incoherent then little or nothing can be seen as valuable in GS, Z, or BGE. In order to defend Nietzsche from his alleged self-contradiction I examine positions offered by Clark & Dudrick and Berry who attempt to offer a coherent interpretation of his middle period. While neither provides a convincing position, they help me reveal that what Nietzsche calls “strong skepticism” is integral towards his project. Strong skepticism is the notion that we should continuously perpetuate inquiry, while also creating new values. Nietzsche’s project is to get beyond good and evil, which can be achieved by recognizing untruth as a strong skeptic. To get beyond good and evil, Nietzsche asserts that the thing-in-itself must be properly rejected along with any other metaphysical faith. In so doing philosophers of the future can create new values by being honest about their personal judgements as well as recognizing that falsification is necessary for getting around in the world. Ultimately, I conclude that Nietzsche is neither a skeptic nor a naturalist, and instead utilizes elements from both without committing to either.

Au coeur de l'appareil judiciaire médiéval: La pratique de Pierre Christofle, notaire royal d'Orléans (1423--1444)

description: Les historiens qui ont produit l'histoire du notariat français ont isolé cette institution du monde judiciaire médiéval, alors que dans la pratique, un lien étroit unissait le notaire et la justice. Ce lien est perceptible à Orléans grâce aux registres du notaire Pierre Christofle, qui pratiqua dans le deuxième quart du XVe siècle. Sa principale tâche était de donner un caractère authentique à tout acte que les justiciables jugeaient opportuns. Cette fonction d'authentification, le notaire Christofle la devait au prévôt, seigneur judiciaire de la ville d'Orléans. À titre de clerc de la prévôté, et afin de répondre aux différents besoins des justiciables, Pierre Christofle rédigea plusieurs minutes qui touchaient de prés le monde judiciaire. Ce notaire doit par conséquent être considéré comme un auxiliaire de la justice et non pas comme un simple intermédiaire entre la justice et les justiciables. En plus de la faculté d'authentifier, le prévôt détenait la faculté de juger, faculté dont il dut se départir au profit des juges. Certains historiens ont vu à tort cette attribution des fonctions du prévôt comme une division de la justice en deux juridictions, la première contentieuse, relevant des juges, et la deuxième gracieuse, relevant des notaires. Les accords de Pierre Christofle démontrent que ce notaire possédait les deux compétences; de plus, ces accords possédaient la même force probante et exécutoire que les jugements rendus par les juges, ce qui invalide la distinction historiographique entre les décisions rendues en justice et celles rendues par des pratiques infra judiciaires. Il faut plutôt voir les facultés de juger des juges et celles d'authentification des notaires comme des composantes complémentaires de ce que nous avons défini comme un appareil judiciaire médiéval. Cette conclusion renforce par conséquent le lien entre justice et notariat au Moyen Âge et rétablit le rôle et la place de Pierre Christofle au coeur du monde judiciaire orléanais.
Clinical ethics support services are not as well-established in forensic psychiatry as in general psychiatry

description: Background: Mental health care professionals deal with complex ethical dilemmas that involve the principles of autonomy, justice, beneficence, and non-maleficence. Such dilemmas are even more prominent in forensic mental health care, where the restriction of personal rights is legitimated not only by patient well-being but also by public safety interests. Little is known about either the use of formal ethics support services or specific ethical needs in forensic mental health care. Knowledge about the current structures and how they compare with those in general psychiatry would help to identify the most important ethical issues and to analyze whether there are unmet needs that might require specific ethics support. Methods: We performed a survey study in all general psychiatric and forensic psychiatric inpatient departments in Germany. The aims were to compare the availability and functioning of clinical ethics structures and to identify specific ethical needs in inpatient forensic and general mental health care. Results: Clinical ethics support was available in 74% of general psychiatric hospitals but in only 43% of all forensic psychiatric hospitals and 25% of those offering treatment for offenders with substance use disorders. Most ethics support services were interdisciplinary. The most frequently requested retrospective and prospective ethics consultations were on issues of omission and termination of treatment, coercive measures, and advance directives. Among the hospitals without access to ethics support, 71% indicated a need for training in ethics. Discussion: Our results show that ethics consultation is well established in general psychiatry, but less so in forensic psychiatry. Mental health care professionals in forensic psychiatry seem to have a need for ethics support and training in clinical ethics. We also found a difference in access to ethics structures between hospitals that treat mentally disordered offenders and those that treat offenders with substance use disorders. Further research should focus on how ethics support can be comprehensively implemented in forensic mental health care and how this might improve treatment quality and patient and staff well-being.
