Like clockwork: A within‐person analysis of time theft in the workplace

AbstractEmployee time theft is a silent and costly behavior that is difficult to manage in organizations. Time theft is less understood than other forms of deviance as it is engaged in more frequently and considered to be less harmful by those who engage in it. This study tests a within‐person model of time theft in which negative emotion mediates the positive relationship between job stressors (task ambiguity, task conflict) and time theft. Results show support for the mediating role of emotions in the positive stressor−time theft relationship at the within‐person level. Results also show that high levels of between‐person emotional stability weakened the impact of negative emotions on time theft. These results indicate that job related stressors create an environment in which time theft may become a frequent behavior. In discussing these results, we provide recommendations for employers to combat this phenomenon.

BURNOUT SYMPTOMS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AMONG CROATIAN HOSPITAL FRONTLINE NURSES AND PHYSICIANS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: THE CONTRIBUTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS.

Direct contact with COVID-19 patients affect the mental health of frontline healthcare professionals. The main goal of this study was to investigate the levels of burnout and psychological symptoms (posttraumatic symptoms-PTSS, depression, anxiety, and stress-DASS) as well as life satisfaction among nurses and physicians working at University Hospital Dubrava, Zagreb (impacted by the earthquakes) and University Hospital of Split. The second goal was to examine the contribution of gender and personality traits to the levels of psychological symptoms among all participants. A set of questionnaires measuring psychological symptoms and personal characteristics was sent via the Google form platform to healthcare professionals and in total 227 completed the form (138 nurses and 89 physicians). The sample consisted of 180 (79.3% females) and 47 (20.7% males). Among the respondents, 75 nurses and 64 physicians were employees of University Hospital Dubrava of 63 nurses and 25 physicians were employees in the University Hospital of Split. The results showed that physicians in general scored higher on the burnout scale (p<0.001) while nurses reported higher anxiety (p=0.011). Nurses working in Zagreb had higher levels of burnout (p<0.001), more depressive (p=0.009) and anxiety (p=0.027) symptoms as well as experienced more stress (p=0.007), and less life satisfaction (p=0.007) than nurses working in Split. Differences in psychological symptoms and resilience in physicians working in Split and Zagreb were not established. Regression analyses showed that the female gender predicted more PTSS, (B=-4.77, p=0.045) while the physician profession predicted higher burnout symptoms (B=2.67, p=0.002). Considering personality traits, higher emotional stability and resilience predicted lower PTSS and DASS symptoms. Traits extraversion (B=0.17, p=0.003), conscientiousness (B=0.26, p<0.001) and resilience (B=1.21, p=0.024) predicted more life satisfaction. Traits of agreeableness (B=-0.21, p= 0.001) and emotional stability (B=-0.45, p<0.001) predicted a decrease in the intensity of the burnout. This study recognized the importance of personality traits as protective factors contributing to psychological well-being in frontline hospital healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the contrary, exposure to multiple traumas and belonging to a profession of physician emerges as risk factors contributing to more psychological symptoms.

Psychological factors and long-term tinnitus handicap in vestibular schwannoma patients after retrosigmoid microsurgery – a cross-sectional study

Objective This study aimed to investigate the connection between psychological factors and postoperative tinnitus in vestibular schwannoma (VS) patients following retrosigmoid microsurgery. Design Cross-sectional study. Study sample Ninety-three VS patients participated, completing questionnaires on demographics, tinnitus severity (THI-12), personality traits (TIPI-G), dizziness impact (DHI), perceived health benefits (GBI), somatisation tendencies (SOMS-2), and psychological distress (HADS-D). Our analysis involved Mann-Whitney U-tests, Spearman’s rank-order correlations, and false discovery rate correction. Results Most participants reported postoperative tinnitus (77/93), with 41 experiencing it preoperatively. Emotional stability correlated negatively with tinnitus presence, while tinnitus severity was associated with emotional distress. Preoperative somatisation tendencies were also positively linked to tinnitus severity. Postoperative Tinnitus was further linked to reduced perceived health benefits and increased anxiety and depression levels. Notably, age and gender showed no significant associations. Conclusion This study uncovers the interplay between postoperative tinnitus and psychological factors in VS patients, highlighting emotional and cognitive dimensions. Tailored psychological interventions addressing tinnitus‘s psychosomatic impact may enhance patients quality of life.

Seeking the roots of entrepreneurship: Childhood and adolescence extraversion predict entrepreneurial intention in adults

AbstractEntrepreneurial personality research has mostly used cross‐sectional data, giving rise to the question of whether the results can be used to predict entrepreneurial outcomes. Using a unique longitudinal dataset, we investigate whether and from what age personality in childhood and adolescence predicts entrepreneurial intention in young adulthood. We cover a time span of 17 years by assessing personality at four different developmental phases (6–9, 9–12, 12–15, and 14–17 years of age) and one measurement of entrepreneurial intention in young adulthood (23–26 years of age). We employ a variable‐oriented approach by studying the Big Five traits—imagination, conscientiousness, extraversion, benevolence, and emotional stability—individually and a person‐oriented approach by studying the “entrepreneurial personality profile,” a configuration of these traits. Extraversion as measured at 9–12 years already predicts entrepreneurial intention in young adulthood. This relationship becomes stronger as the age at which extraversion is measured increases. Unlike earlier literature, we do not find clear prospective relationships regarding the other traits. Our study presents insights into the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention and highlights the importance of extraversion in childhood and adolescence. The difference between our results and those of previous cross‐sectional research highlights the importance of using longitudinal data.

Effects of Baduanjin practice on emotional, attention and cognitive function in acupuncturists: protocol for a clinical randomized controlled neuroimaging trial.

In Chinese medicine, the mental focus and emotional stability of acupuncturists are key to optimal clinical outcomes. Many renowned acupuncturists utilize Traditional Chinese Qigong practices to enhance their concentration and emotional regulation abilities. Nevertheless, the existing literature lacks comprehensive evidence addressing this matter. This study will enroll 99 acupuncturists and randomly allocate them to one of three groups: Baduanjin, aerobic exercise, or a waiting-list control. The Baduanjin group will undertake 24 weeks of training, with three one-hour sessions weekly. The aerobic group will engage in brisk walking for the same duration and frequency. The control group will not receive any specific training. Assessments of emotion regulation, attention, cognitive functions, finger sensation, and athletic ability will be conducted at baseline (-1 week), mid-intervention (12 weeks), and post-intervention (24 weeks). Additionally, 20 participants from each group will undergo fMRI scans before and after the intervention to explore brain functional and structural changes relating to emotion, attention, cognition, motor skills, and sensory perception. This study aims to contribute valuable insights into the effectiveness of Qigong practice, specifically Baduanjin, in enhancing emotional regulation, attention, and cognitive functions in acupuncturists and to investigate the neuroimaging mechanisms behind these effects. Approved by the Sichuan Regional Ethics Review Committee on Traditional Chinese Medicine (No. 2023KL - 118) and adhering to the Declaration of Helsinki. Results will be shared through policy briefs, workshops, peer-reviewed journals, and conferences.Clinical trial registrationwww.chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR2300076447.

The association between objective and subjective oral health conditions and the presence of anorexia of aging among Japanese older Adults1

Anorexia of aging is a risk factor for malnutrition among older adults. This study aimed to evaluate the association between objective and subjective oral health and anorexia among independent older adults. This cross-sectional study targeted independent older adults aged ≥65 years who participated in the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study conducted in 2022. The outcome variable was the presence of anorexia, as assessed by the Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire. Exposure variables were dental status (≥20 teeth, 10–19 teeth with/without dentures, and 0–9 teeth with/without dentures) as objective oral health and oral health-related quality of life measured by five items of the short version of the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) (eating, speaking, smiling, emotional stability, and enjoying with others) as subjective oral health. We fitted the Poisson regression model, including possible confounders, and estimated prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals. Among 19,787 participants (mean age: 74.6 years [1SD = 6.2], male: 48.5%), 9.0% were classified as having anorexia. After adjusting possible confounders, those with ≤19 teeth had a higher proportion of experiencing anorexia compared to those with ≥20 teeth; however, the association was less pronounced among those with dentures (0−9 teeth with dentures: PR = 1.48 [1.31−1.68], and 0−9 teeth without dentures: PR = 2.08 [1.65−2.63]). Even after adjusting for dental status, each item of OIDP was significantly associated with the presence of anorexia (all p < 0.05). The results showed that both objective and subjective poor oral health were significantly associated with a higher probability of developing anorexia of aging. Therefore, improving both objective and subjective oral health through appropriate dental care could contribute to maintaining appetite in later life.

Burnout in podiatrists associated with individual characteristics, workplace and job satisfaction: A national survey.

Burnout is highly prevalent among health practitioners. It negatively impacts job performance, patient care, career retention and psychological well-being. This study aimed to identify factors associated with burnout among Australian podiatrists. Data were collected from registered podiatrists via four online surveys administered annually from 2017 to 2020 as part of the Podiatrists in Australia: Investigating Graduate Employment (PAIGE) study. Information was collected about work history, job preferences, personal characteristics, health, personality, life experiences and risk-taking behaviours. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to determine if (i) individual characteristics, (ii) workplace factors and (iii) job satisfaction measures were associated with burnout (based on the abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory). A total of 848 responses were included, with 268 podiatrists (31.6%) experiencing burnout. Participants experiencing burnout were slightly younger, more recent to practice, had poorer health, greater mental distress, lower scores for resilience, extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness to experiences. They were less likely to have financial and clinical risk-taking behaviour and more likely to have career risk-taking behaviour. Prediction accuracy of these individual characteristic variables for burnout was 72.4%. Participants experiencing burnout were also more likely to work in private practice, have more work locations, work more hours, more direct patient hours, see more patients, have shorter consultation times, more likely to bulk bill chronic disease management plans, have less access to sick leave and professional development and be more likely to intend to leave patient care and the profession within 5years than participants not experiencing burnout. Prediction accuracy of these workplace-related variables for burnout was 67.1%. Participants experiencing burnout were less satisfied with their job. Prediction accuracy of these variables for burnout was 78.8%. Many of the factors associated with burnout in Australian podiatrists are modifiable, providing opportunities to implement targeted prevention strategies. The strength of association of these factors indicates high potential for strategies to be successful.

Personality traits and cognition as predictors of long-term quality of life after transplantation for alcoholic liver disease

IntroductionLiver transplantation (LT) is a crucial treatment for end-stage alcoholic liver disease, the most common liver disease in developed countries. Personality traits and cognition, a relatively stable characteristics, are known to be significantly associated with quality of life (QoL). However, how they impact QoL in long-term LT survivors is unclear.ObjectivesThe study aimed to assess the associations between personality traits and cognition and their impact on the QoL in long-term LT survivors.MethodsFirst time LT recipients due to end-stage alcohol liver disease without long-term complications were consecutively included during standard outpatient care. Sociodemographic and clinical data was collected. Personality traits were assessed using 50-item International Personality Item Pool of the Five-factor model (IPIP), cognition using Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), and QoL using EuroQoL-5D (EQ-5D) questionnaire.ResultsEighty-three participants were included (mean age 62.9±7.03y, 90.6% male). Median MMSE score was 27±2.00, and median years since LT 5±2.91. Significant positive associations were found between IPIP dimensions Extraversion (B=0.297, p&lt;0.01), Agreeableness (B=0.384, p&lt;0.01), Conscientiousness (B=0.511, p&lt;0.01), and Emotional stability (B=0.432, p&lt;0.01) with EQ-5D visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). IPIP dimension Conscientiousness (B=0.338, p&lt;0.01) and Emotional Stability (B=0. 379, p&lt;0.01) were significantly associated with descriptive dimension of EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L). MMSE score was significantly associated with QoL (EQ-VAS B=0.291, p&lt;0.01; EQ-5D-3L B=0.283, p&lt;0.05, respectively). However, MMSE score was not shown to be a statistically significant predictor of QoL, whereas Consciousness was a significant predictor of EQ-VAS (β 1.404, t 3.125), and Emotional stability of EQ-5D-3L (β 0.011, t 2.132).ConclusionsSome personality traits predicted QoL in long-term LT survivors. Therefore, assessment of personality traits should be considered as a part of pre-LT evaluation within a regular psychiatric clearance evaluation.Disclosure of InterestS. Medved: None Declared, B.

ChatBot preference and personality

Chatbots are a growing subject of interest to marketers. This paper analyses the comparison of Prosper Insights and Analytics September 2023 data on consumer preference for chatbots to a live person, including the Big Five personality dimensions. Chatbot preferers are younger, have children and are also more likely to work at home. They prefer contactless retail activities and use ChatGPT. The personality characteristics that most strongly associate with chatbot preference are conscientiousness (efficient versus extravagant), emotional stability (sensitive versus confident), agreeableness (friendly versus critical) and openness (curious versus cautious). Most chatbot preferers report more emotional conditions, such as anxiety, depression, loneliness and anger. Emotional involvement in chatbot preference varies by personality characteristics. High levels of chatbot preference are associated with big spending plans; therefore understanding them is crucial for marketers.

Social microclimates and well-being.

Emotional well-being has a known relationship with a person's direct social ties, including friendships; but do ambient social and emotional features of the local community also play a role? This work takes advantage of university students' assignment to different local networks-or "social microclimates"-to probe this question. Using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression, we quantify the collective impact of individual, social network, and microclimate factors on the emotional well-being of a cohort of first-year college students. Results indicate that well-being tracks individual factors but also myriad social and microclimate factors, reflecting one's peers and social surroundings. Students who belonged to emotionally stable and tight-knit microclimates (i.e., had emotionally stable friends or resided in densely connected residence halls) reported lower levels of psychological distress and higher levels of life satisfaction, even when controlling for factors such as personality and social network size. Although rarely discussed or acknowledged in the policies that create them, social microclimates are consequential to well-being, especially during life transitions. The effects of microclimate factors are small relative to some individual factors; however, they explain unique variance in well-being that is not directly captured by emotional stability or other individual factors. These findings are novel, but preliminary, and should be replicated in new samples and contexts. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Most people's life satisfaction matches their personality traits: True correlations in multitrait, multirater, multisample data.

Despite numerous meta-analyses, the true extent to which life satisfaction reflects personality traits has remained unclear due to overreliance on a single method to assess both and insufficient attention to construct overlaps. Using data from three samples tested in different languages (Estonian, N = 20,886; Russian, N = 768; English, N = 600), we combined self- and informant-reports to estimate personality domains' and nuances' true correlations (rtrue) with general life satisfaction (LS) and satisfactions with eight life domains (DSs), while controlling for single-method and occasion-specific biases and random error, and avoiding direct construct overlaps. The associations replicated well across samples. The Big Five domains and nuances allowed predicting LS with accuracies up to rtrue ≈ .80-.90 in independent (sub)samples. Emotional stability, extraversion, and conscientiousness correlated rtrue ≈ .30-.50 with LS, while its correlations with openness and agreeableness were small. At the nuances level, low LS was most strongly associated with feeling misunderstood, unexcited, indecisive, envious, bored, used, unable, and unrewarded (rtrue ≈ .40-.70). Supporting LS's construct validity, DSs had similar personality correlates among themselves and with LS, and an aggregated DS correlated rtrue ≈ .90 with LS. LS's approximately 10-year stability was rtrue = .70 and its longitudinal associations with personality traits mirrored cross-sectional ones. We conclude that without common measurement limitations, most people's life satisfaction is highly consistent with their personality traits, even across many years. So, satisfaction is usually shaped by these same relatively stable factors that shape personality traits more broadly. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

The effect of personality traits on over-the-top service use and binge-watching

With the freedom to consume content on preferred devices at any time as long as there is an Internet connection, the growing demand for over-the-top (OTT) services is evident. In conjunction with the rise of OTT services, binge-watching has become a prevalent behavior. In this research, we explore whether personality traits including the Big Five and need for cognition wield an effect on OTT use and binge-watching. We used a large, diverse, population representative sample from South Korea to investigate this topic. Results indicated that openness to experience and need for cognition were positively related to OTT use. Openness to experience, emotional stability, conscientiousness, and need for cognition had a negative association with binge-watching. When the sample was split by OTT frequency, the binge-watching effects were obtained exclusively for daily OTT users. For non-daily OTT users, most of the personality traits did not exert an effect on binge-watching. Implications of the current findings as well as limitations and future research are presented.

랜덤박스 캐릭터 디자인에서 감성적 디자인 평가요소 분석

Recently, there has been an expansion in the development of new products based on consumer data, highlighting the growing importance of emotional design elements. Companies are exploring new evaluation methods for innovative character designs. This study proposes a model to assess and improve the emotional aspects of random box character designs. The methodology involved identifying emotional design elements and analyzing their importance through expert surveys using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) technique. The key elements identified were emotional empathy, creativity, sustainable value, and stability, each showing varying levels of importance. User satisfaction was measured using the IPA (Importance-Performance Analysis) technique and compared with AHP results, revealing that the 'HIRONO character' had higher satisfaction levels than the 'SOSKID character'. This research presents a systematic evaluation method for emotional design elements, expected to provide important guidelines for the development of innovative character designs and contribute to continuous design improvement.

PARTICULARITĂȚI ALE TULBURĂRILOR DE PERSONALITATE LA PREADOLESCENȚII CARE PROVIN DIN FAMILIILE DIVORȚATE

The association between family tensions caused by transitions in parental separation and the effects of the child's adjustment to changes in separation has also been established in numerous studies. The aim of this study was to identify personality disorders in preadolescents living in divorced families compared to those in harmonious, non-divorced families, to facilitate the structuring of psychological interventions oriented/focused on ameliorating these disorders. The sample included 125 children with divorced parents and 103 children from organized families (N = 228 respondents). Self-reported data were collected using the Millon Pre-Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MPACI), authors Theodore Millon, Ph.D., DSc, Carrie Millon, Ph.D., Robert Tringone, Ph.D., Seth Grossman, PsyD. and Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children (HiPIC), authors I. Mervielde, Ph.D. Filip de Fruyt, Ph.D to capture trends in preadolescent personality traits in the context of divorce. The results obtained on personality characteristics of children from divorced families showed significantly differentiated scores on emerging personality patterns compared to the results reported by children from non-divorced families. Specifically, both on the MPACI, the preadolescents showed impaired psychological development in general, an imbalance in the emerging personality pattern (consistent presence of Conformist,Inhibited, Unstable patterns) and on the HiPIC with respect to Emotional Stability, Extraversion, Imagination and Conscientiousness. Our results help to complete the theoretical and practical bases of psychological science with information on the specific disorders that can be caused in children exposed, directly or indirectly, to conflict situations between their divorced parents.

Optimistic bias: Concept analysis

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze and clarify the concept of ‘optimistic bias.’ Methods: A review of the literature was conducted using several databases. The databases were searched using the following keywords: optimistic bias, optimism bias, and concept analysis. The literature on optimistic bias was reviewed using the framework of Walker and Avant’s conceptual analysis process. Results: Optimistic bias can be defined by the following attributes: 1) underestimation of personal risk, 2) vague confidence, 3) positive future prediction and 4) lack of risk recognition. The antecedents of optimistic bias are as follows: 1) risk perception, 2) self-efficacy, and 3) risk controllability. The consequences of optimistic bias are as follows: 1) reduced anxiety, 2) providing emotional stability, 3) negative consequences for preventive health behavior, 4) lack of attention to risk-related information, and 5) negative consequences for self-protection behavior. Conclusion: The definition and attributes of optimistic bias identified by this study can provide a common understanding of this concept and help to develop a nursing intervention program effective in preventing, protecting, and improving health of subjects in the field of nursing practice.

Стресс учебной деятельности и учебная мотивация студентов с различным уровнем нейротизма

The current study allowed us to conduct a comparative analysis of the significance of various stress factors assessed by students with different levels of neuroticism and perceived by them as obstacles in the learning process. The study design includes the comparative analysis of two groups of students. We analyzed the relationships between indicators of subjectively assessed intensity of response to academic stress-factors and characteristics of academic motivation among these groups of students. We used the following questionnaires that allow respondents to assess the academic stress factors intensity: “Academic Motivation Scales” (Gordeeva, Sychev and Osin), “Eysenck Personality Inventory” (EPI). The study involved 156 people. It was found out that students with different levels of neuroticism have no significant difference in the severity of various types of academic motivation. But, at the same time, there are a number of differences in assessing the intensity of academic stress under the influence of certain stress factors. There are also differences in the structure of relationships between indicators of academic motivation and stress factors, depending on the emotional stability of the respondents. The results of the study can be useful for creating individual-oriented (taking into account the level of neuroticism) programs of psychological and pedagogical assistance to students striving for high-quality knowledge assimilation and improving their academic performance. On the basis of the obtained data, we can speak about the necessity to form a balance between the experience of the handling stress intensity, which arises as a result of a subjective assessment of the certain phenomena stressfulness during the study process, and the various types of academic motivation, which contribute to the development of professional competencies.

EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING SHIELD: EXPLORING ANXIETY AMONG NURSING STUDENTS

Introduction. The work of a nurse in conditions of war or conflict imposes unique demands on her emotional state.&#x0D; The aim of the work – to study the level of anxiety in nursing students and to identify ways of its regulation.&#x0D; The main part. The paper analyzed the questionnaires of 19 students in the first year, nine in the second year, 10 in the third year, and 10 in the fourth year of the educational and Scientific Institute of Nursing of TNMU. The results showed that a third of future nurses have a high level of reactive anxiety, and half of them have an average level of personal anxiety. A decrease in anxiety was observed among fourth-year students compared to first-year students, which indicates the development of emotional stability during the learning process. Future nurses have a high level of anxiety associated with a sense of danger or failure in their studies and professional activities.&#x0D; Conclusions. The study confirms the high level of anxiety among nursing students, as well as the effectiveness of the training in reducing this anxiety. Psychological support and the development of anxiety management skills can improve these healthcare workers’ psychological well-being and professional performance.

Адаптационный потенциал сотрудников органов внутренних дел как ресурс при преодолении профессионального выгорания

Introduction. The phenomenon of “professional burnout”appears to be of special interest among scientists. Although there have been many studies of the nature of its occurrence and dynamics, there is no unity in understanding the ways to prevent and correct changes of mental and socio-psychological functions caused by personalitydeformation. According to A. K. Markova, specialists of “human-human” professions, working constantly with people, are more at risk of professional deformation than employees of “human-technology” and “human-nature” professions. Supporting this idea, we should note that under conditions of high responsibility, pressure and increasing demandsnot always corresponding the inner resources, this problem becomes especially important. The destructive effect affects mental process and personal characteristics, leading to negative changes in the professional activities of police officers. The mission of police officers to protect the public against criminals and other unlawful encroachments becomes, metaphorically speaking, “transparent” due to professional burnout, in particular, depersonalisation (negligent approach to duties and cynical attitude towards citizens). That is why, it is important to determine in time individuals being more prone to professional burnout, to reveal signs indicating its occurrence, and to develop a methodology stimulating adaptive potential and extension of tunnel thinking provoked by high stress. Methods. The following psychological methods were used: the method of assessment of adaptive abilities - “MOAS” (developed on the basis of Kettell’s Test). This method helped to assess the respondents’ personal characteristics “closeness – sociability”, “emotional instability - emotional stability”, “shyness – courage”, “trustfulness – suspiciousness”, “self-confidence – anxiety”, “relaxation – tension”; the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) adapted by N. E. Vodopyanova, which helped to determine the level of professional burnout on the following three scales: emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and reduction of professional achievements; thePearson correlationmethod (statistical analysis of the data). Results. The results determined four groups of respondents: with high, satisfactory, low, unsatisfactory levels of adaptive potential. The majority of respondents (70.5 %) have insufficient adaptive potential for coping with stressful situations, rational assessment of requirements and personal resources. Besides, employees with low level of adaptive abilities are more prone to professional burnout, especially depersonalisation.

Translating Suicide Safety Planning Components Into the Design of mHealth App Features: Systematic Review.

Suicide safety planning is an evidence-based approach used to help individuals identify strategies to keep themselves safe during a mental health crisis. This study systematically reviewed the literature focused on mobile health (mHealth) suicide safety planning apps. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which apps integrated components of the safety planning intervention (SPI), and if so, how these safety planning components were integrated into the design-based features of the apps. Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, we systematically analyzed 14 peer-reviewed studies specific to mHealth apps for suicide safety planning. We conducted an analysis of the literature to evaluate how the apps incorporated SPI components and examined similarities and differences among the apps by conducting a comparative analysis of app features. An independent review of SPI components and app features was conducted by downloading the available apps. Most of the mHealth apps (5/7, 71%) integrated SPI components and provided customizable features that expanded upon traditional paper-based safety planning processes. App design features were categorized into 5 themes, including interactive features, individualized user experiences, interface design, guidance and training, and privacy and sharing. All apps included access to community supports and revisable safety plans. Fewer mHealth apps (3/7, 43%) included interactive features, such as associating coping strategies with specific stressors. Most studies (10/14, 71%) examined the usability, feasibility, and acceptability of the safety planning mHealth apps. Usability findings were generally positive, as users often found these apps easy to use and visually appealing. In terms of feasibility, users preferred using mHealth apps during times of crisis, but the continuous use of the apps outside of crisis situations received less support. Few studies (4/14, 29%) examined the effectiveness of mHealth apps for suicide-related outcomes. Positive shifts in attitudes and desire to live, improved coping strategies, enhanced emotional stability, and a decrease in suicidal thoughts or self-harm behaviors were examined in these studies. Our study highlights the need for researchers, clinicians, and app designers to continue to work together to align evidence-based research on mHealth suicide safety planning apps with lessons learned for how to best deliver these technologies to end users. Our review brings to light mHealth suicide safety planning strategies needing further development and testing, such as lethal means guidance, collaborative safety planning, and the opportunity to embed more interactive features that leverage the advanced capabilities of technology to improve client outcomes as well as foster sustained user engagement beyond a crisis. Although preliminary evidence shows that these apps may help to mitigate suicide risk, clinical trials with larger sample sizes and more robust research designs are needed to validate their efficacy before the widespread adoption and use.

О структуре личностной ответственности курсантов образовательных организаций ФСИН России

Introduction. The article presents theoretical and empirical analysis of the problem of personal responsibility in national and foreign psychological works. The results of the study of personal responsibility of cadets of educational establishments of the Federal Penal Correction Service of Russia are described. The aim of the research was to identify the structural elements of personal responsibility of cadets of educational establishments of the Federal Penal Correction Service of Russia. The empirical study was conducted at the Academy of Law and Management of the Federal Penal Correction Service of Russia. The participants were 165 cadets representing courses 1 to 5. Each course covered 33 respondents. The scientific problem is to study the personal responsibility of cadets of the educational establishment of the Federal Penal Correction Service of Russiaand to determine its structural elements. Research methods and techniques. To determine the structural elements of personal responsibility of cadets of educational establishments of FSIN of Russia the following methods and techniques were used: “Multidimensional functional diagnostics of responsibility-110 (“OTV-110”)” (V. P. Pryadein,O. V. Mukhlynina); “A Shortened “Basic English” Version (Form C) of the 16 PF Questionnaire” (R. Kettell); “Motivation of success and fear of failure” (A. A. Rean); “Moral reliability questionnaire (MRQ)” (E. Yu.Strizhov); “Test-questionnaire of selfattitude – SAR” (V. V. Stolin, S. R. Pantileev). The research revealed: the structure of personal responsibility of cadets of educational organisations of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia includes: 1) regulatory and dynamic components; 2) personal components; 3) motivational and semantic components. The regulatory and dynamic component comprises ergidity, stenicity, and internality. The personal component is made up of emotional stability, self-attitude, self-control of emotional reactions, the level of empathy, the ability to solve personal and operational difficulties. The motivational and semantic component includes sociocentricity, meaningfulness, recognition of responsibility to norms, understanding of the need to comply with norms, and the level of achievement motivation.
