Online Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy-Based Nutritional Intervention via Instagram for Overweight and Obesity

Background/Objectives: Obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease treated through lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, and surgery. With the rise of social media, platforms like Instagram have become tools for lifestyle interventions. This study evaluated the impact of a cognitive-behavioral-therapy-based nutritional intervention via Instagram on body weight, eating behavior, and mental health in individuals with overweight and obesity. Methods: A 5-week online intervention delivered daily nutritional, cognitive, and behavioral content via a private Instagram account using live sessions, reels, feed posts, polls, and stories. Standardized dietary plans were sent by e-mail. Self-reported weight and waist circumference and questionnaires on eating behavior, self-esteem, stress, and anxiety were collected. Engagement and interaction were measured through comments, likes, number of followers, story retention, participation in live sessions, and direct messages. Results: The final sample included 66 participants (63 women), 27 with overweight and 39 with obesity, and a mean age of 40.5 ± 10.6 years. After the intervention, body weight decreased by 1.1 kg, while waist circumference remained unchanged. Participants with obesity showed significant improvements in binge eating, uncontrolled eating, self-esteem, stress, and anxiety, while those with overweight showed improvements in binge eating and stress. Weight loss was associated with reduced binge eating and lower cognitive restriction, while lower uncontrolled eating was related to decreased emotional eating, anxiety, and stress. Additionally, participation in live sessions was associated with reduced binge eating. Conclusions: This online intervention via Instagram was effective in improving weight loss, eating behavior, and mental health symptoms in participants with overweight and obesity.

What Makes Me Happy and what Worries Me? A Cross-national Comparison of Stressors and Resources for Stress Relief Among Youth

AbstractNumerous evidence-based programs aim to promote youth mental health. Unfortunately, however, they often fail to engage the target group and lack cultural sensitivity. The present study addresses these issues by using a participatory approach to look at variations of stressors and resources for stress relief among students (12-15 years) in three European countries. Two participatory workshops were conducted in three schools in Austria, Poland and Slovenia, with a total of 81 students participating in the first workshop, and 83 in the second. This study presents the findings derived from two distinct participatory activities wherein participants reported their stressors (Relevant Topics activity) and resources (Photovoice activity). Overall, the study revealed remarkable similarities in stressors and resources across the three countries, but differences were also identified. Stressors relating to interpersonal relationships, school, and self-concept were common themes. While concerns regarding health, future, and global issues were less frequently mentioned, they remained persistent across all countries, an indication of their growing relevance amid today’s multiple crises. Animals, sports, and relationships emerged as the most frequently reported resources. Creative arts and expression, music, and calm activities like reading, and spending time in nature were also frequently cited. Notably, engagement with digital devices or social media emerged neither as a common stressor nor as a notable personal resource. The findings will be used to inform the content development of a culturally sensitive digital mental health promotion program, covering salient topics comprehensively while ensuring diversity awareness.

Development of adaptive coping strategies of students in a university setting (on the example of the Educational and Practical Center for Conflict Resolution of Southwestern State University)

The purpose of the study. A significant task today is to increase the socio-psychological well-being of students in a university setting. Due to the increased intensity of educational activity, its complexity, and multitasking, the mental stress of students is increasing. Significant stress factors are the new social situation of development; the situation of external assessment in the process of intellectual tests; individual and personal characteristics of participants in educational relations; students' concerns about the ability to cope with educational tasks.The purpose of our work is to explore the possibilities of using the potential of the Educational and Practical Conflict Resolution Center of Southwestern State University for the development of adaptive coping strategies of students.In our work, we investigated the preferred coping strategies of students, offered recommendations for creating psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of students' coping strategies that contribute to successful adaptation to the conditions.Methods. Theoretical and methodological analysis of scientific sources on the research problem was used in the work; empirical research methods: testing using the following techniques: "Questionnaire of coping methods" by R. Lazarus and S. Folkman (Ways of Coping Questionnaire – WCQ), adapted by the Bekhterev National Research Institute; "Coping behavior in stressful Situations" by N. Endler, J. Parker.Results. In the process of empirical research, it was revealed that the most characteristic for students in a stressful situation is coping, focused on avoidance, which manifests itself in distraction. That is, a significant number of students prefer not to solve the problem, but to distract themselves from it by other activities.Among the methods of coping behavior, "escape-avoidance" is pronounced, which most researchers consider to be maladaptive. Coping strategies "distancing" and "positive reassessment" are significantly expressed, which are aimed not at solving the problem, but at reducing emotional involvement in it, preventing emotional reactions to frustration.Conclusion. Thus, there is an obvious need for students to develop problem-oriented coping strategies. In particular, the strategies of "self-control" and "solution planning", which will help students direct their efforts to a rational solution of the problem.

Takotsubo Following Severe Anaphylactic Reaction during Anesthesia Induction

Introduction: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (apical ballooning or broken heart syndrome) is a reversible left ventricular dysfunction due to apical asynergy that occurs typically after sudden emotional stress in a subject without coronary disease. Anaphylaxis is a severe, life-threatening, generalized hypersensitivity reaction, most often starting with urticaria and/or angioedema, that may involve cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Cardiovascular symptoms, including hypotension, cardiac arrhythmia and chest pain, are presumably linked to cardiac mast cell mediator release. Case Report: We describe the case of a woman who experienced a profound reversible cardiomyopathy with typical features of Takotsubo's syndrome during an anaphylactic reaction. Conclusion: Exposure to catecholamines and beta-receptor agonists used routinely during procedures and diagnostic tests can precipitate all the features of stress cardiomyopathy, including cardiac isoenzyme elevation and rapidly reversible cardiac dysfunction. These observations strongly implicate excessive sympathetic stimulation as central to the pathogenesis of this unique syndrome.

Features of the relationship of asthenia and emotional intelligence of student volunteers at different level of their emotional burnout

The high demand for volunteering in various fields has shown the invaluable contribution that volunteers can make to the development of the social sphere. At the same time, most areas of volunteer activity are associated with high emotional stress, which, without proper support, can lead to various unfavorable psychological states, including asthenia and emotional burnout. So, the purpose of the study is to study the relationship between asthenia and emotional intelligence in student volunteers with different levels of emotional burnout. 40 volunteer students of the FSBEI HE KSMU took part in the study. The total sample was divided into two experimental groups of 13 people each (33% of the entire sample): experimental group No. 1 included student volunteers with a low level of emotional burnout, and experimental group No. 2 - with a high level. Psychodiagnostics was carried out using the Asthenic State Scale (ASS) method by L.D. Malkova (adapted by T.G. Chertova) and the “Professional Burnout” (PV) questionnaire (Russian version by N.E. Vodopyanov, E.S. Starchenkova). The study revealed relationships between indicators of asthenia and emotional exhaustion in volunteers, as well as between indicators of asthenia and emotional intelligence in volunteers with a low level of emotional burnout. Thus, increasing the level of emotional intelligence of volunteers, namely, understanding their own and others’ emotions, can act as a resource in the prevention of not only emotional burnout, but also asthenia.

Challenges and perceived impacts of ambulance diversions during emergency department overcrowding: a multi-stakeholder study

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES Ambulance diversion has emerged as a strategy to address Emergency Department (ED) overcrowding, but the question of when or whether diversion should be triggered is widely debated. Although the positive and adverse impacts of diversion have been primarily studied using quantitative data, little is known about the experience and perceptions of key stakeholders involved in diversions. Our study aims to explore the challenges and impacts of ambulance diversion as experienced by key stakeholders and their suggestions for improving the diversion process. METHODS We conducted semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders including physicians, nurses and paramedics across two EDs and four fire stations. All interviews were audio-recorded following consent and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were subjected to thematic analysis to identify key themes and sub-themes. Coding discrepancies were resolved through iterative discussions until no new themes were identified. RESULTS A total of 33 stakeholders were interviewed. The primary reasons for ambulance diversions were perceived to be resource constraints in EDs, overcrowding and bed block situations. Challenges during diversions included communication breakdowns, operational delays, lack of clarity in diversion criteria and emotional stress for both Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and hospital staff. Participants felt diversions impacted patient safety, staff morale, system efficiency and could generate inter-institutional conflict. Suggestions on improvements focused on use of alternative care pathways, improving hospital’s flow issues, better information sharing, and optimizing the diversion process through strategizing the timing and duration of diversions. Reworking the hierarchical approach of dissemination of information to ground staff was also suggested. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights that while diversions may offer temporary relief for overwhelmed hospitals, they also pose challenges and negative impacts on receiving hospitals and EMS operations. Our findings underscore the need for systemic improvements to address the root causes of ED overcrowding and enhance understanding among stakeholders involved in diversions.

Psychiatric Considerations of Infertility.

Infertility, the inability to achieve pregnancy within a year despite normal attempts to conceive without contraception, causes psychosocial burden for individuals and couples. This review summarized the interrelationship between infertility and psychological stress and suggested various forms of psychological intervention for infertility. The PubMed, Google Scholar, and Korean Studies Information Service System databases were searched for English- and Korean-language articles published from 1990 to 2024. Infertility leads to emotional distress from diagnosis to treatment. Also, psychological stress affects the trajectory of infertility. This distress may cause psychiatric illnesses, negatively affecting pregnancy. Psychotherapies, psychopharmacotherapies, and biological treatments can be used for the management of psychiatric illnesses in infertile patients. Digital therapeutics also have the potential to be a competitive treatment option. Regular assessment and management of psychological stress in infertile couples are essential during the course of infertility treatment. Psychological intervention of infertile patients should be implemented according to a personalized plan that completely reflects the individual clinical characteristics.

Psychological resilience and perceived stress among Chinese medical students: mediation between optimistic intelligence quotient and adversity quotient

BackgroundChinese medical students face rigorous academic demands and exacting professional challenges, which lead to significant psychological stress. Understanding perceived stress and psychological resilience is key to enhancing emotional regulation and empathy. This study explores the hypothesis that psychological resilience impacts the perceived stress of medical students, with the Optimistic Intelligence Quotient (OQ) and the Adversity Quotient (AQ) acting as serial mediators, thereby promoting students’ mental health.MethodsA questionnaire survey was conducted to assess psychological resilience, perceived stress, OQ, and AQ among students from the top 20 medical colleges in mainland China. Using random sampling, 60 students per institution were selected, yielding 1,024 valid responses from 1,200 distributed questionnaires. Data were analyzed using correlation and mediation analysis.ResultsThe results showed a significant negative correlation between psychological resilience and perceived stress. OQ was significantly associated with reduced stress and enhanced overall well-being, while AQ was related to stress management skills.A serial mediation pathway was identified from psychological resilience to OQ and AQ, forming a chain influencing perceived stress.ConclusionsThis study highlights the current psychological stress among Chinese medical students and the serial mediating roles of OQ and AQ. Tailored interventions in medical education should focus on enhancing psychological resilience to reduce perceived stress. Future research should explore alternative frameworks in positive psychology and develop new stress management intervention models.

Novel Deep Learning-Based Vocal Biomarkers for Stress Detection in Koreans.

The rapid societal changes have underscored the importance of effective stress detection and management. Chronic mental stress significantly contributes to both physical and psychological illnesses. However, many individuals often remain unaware of their stress levels until they face physical health issues, highlighting the necessity for regular stress monitoring. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of vocal biomarkers in detecting stress levels among healthy Korean employees and to contribute to digital healthcare solutions. We conducted a multi-center clinical study by collecting voice recordings from 115 healthy Korean employees under both relaxed and stress-induced conditions. Stress was induced using the socially evaluated cold pressor test. The Emphasized Channel Attention, Propagation and Aggregation in Time delay neural network (ECAPA-TDNN) deep learning architecture, renowned for its advanced capabilities in analyzing person-specific voice features, was employed to develop stress prediction scores. The proposed model achieved a 70% accuracy rate in detecting stress. This performance underscores the potential of vocal biomarkers as a convenient and effective tool for individuals to self-monitor and manage their stress levels within digital healthcare frameworks. The findings emphasize the promise of voice-based mental stress assessments within the Korean population and the importance of continued research on vocal biomarkers across diverse linguistic demographics.

Analysis of Psychological and Physiological Responses to Snoezelen Multisensory Stimulation

This study evaluates the effects of two months of regular snoezelen therapy on anger-hostility (AH), assessing both psychological and physiological indicators before and after the intervention. Using the Profile of Mood States (POMS-2), the research measured changes in anger-hostility levels and stress responses, comparing pre- and post-intervention data. At baseline, participants exhibited relatively high levels of anger-hostility, with psychological scores averaging 40.14 (± 2.46) and physiological scores averaging 42.25 (± 2.71), indicating significant irritability, aggression, and elevated stress responses. After two months of multisensory stimulation in a snoezelen room, participants’ psychological scores decreased to 37.40 (± 2.26) and physiological scores to 39.50 (± 2.01), suggesting improvements in mood and physiological stress. The statistical analysis yielded a p - value of 0.047, indicating that the reductions were significant. These findings suggest that snoezelen therapy can be effective in reducing anger-hostility and associated physiological stress, offering a promising intervention for emotional regulation and stress management.

Characteristics of the clinical course and psycho-emotional condition of women with uterine leiomyoma and adenomyosis affected by military intervention

On the one side, in the conditions of war, strong psychological stress leads to the disorders of the reproductive system of women, the increased number of inflammatory diseases and neoplasms of the reproductive system. On the other hand, pre-existing conditions such as leiomyoma and endometriosis of the uterus are the factor that deepens stress, causes distress and leads to a decrease in quality of life.The objective: to study the characteristics of the clinical course of uterine leiomyoma and adenomyosis in the context of psycho-emotional changes in women of reproductive age affected by military intervention.Materials and methods. The clinical course of diseases and the psycho-emotional state of 110 women of reproductive age with adenomyosis and uterine leiomyoma were evaluated.Depending on the severity of the influence of the factors of military aggression, the patients were divided into three groups: the 1st group – 37 women who were in the occupied territories (the examination of this group of patients was carried out after the deoccupation of the territories), the 2nd group – 35 patients who were under the influence factors of the armed conflict, but were not directly invaded by the occupiers, the 3d group – 38 female patients who were internally displaced during the armed conflict.The Spielberger–Khanin questionnaire and the Beck Depression Scale-2 were used to determine the psycho-emotional state.Results. Disorders of the menstrual cycle (75.5%) and pain syndrome (40.0%) prevailed among the complaints. Heavy menstrual bleeding (54.1%, 65.7%, and 65.8%, respectively, by group), perimenstrual bleeding (13.5%, 22.9%, and 26.3% of cases, respectively) were most often diagnosed in all groups. Abnormal uterine bleeding was detected significantly more often in women who were in the occupied territories (10.8% in the 1st group versus 2.9% in the 2nd and 2.6% in the 3d groups; p<0.05).The average score of situational anxiety, which is directly related to dangerous conditions, indicates a high anxiety level in women of the 1st (45.9±1.0 points) and 3d (45.2±1.2 points) groups. The average score of patients in the 2nd group corresponded to a moderate anxiety level (44.1±0.8 points).The level of personal anxiety was the highest in the 3d group (45.3±1.3 points), in the 2nd group women had moderate personal anxiety (43.7±1.0 points), and in the 1st group – low one (29.6±0.9 points).The lowest level of depression was found in women of the 3d group (8.9±0.8 points). In the 2nd group, the average score of depressive manifestations was 10.9±0.6 points, which corresponded to a normal emotional state. In the 1st group, the average depression score was 12.1±0.5 points.Conclusions. Negative outcomes of military aggression were found in patients with adenomyosis and uterine leiomyoma. In the first place in the frequency of reproductive health disorders was ranked by menstrual disorders (from 78.9% to 85.7%) without differences by group. Most often, heavy menstrual bleeding was detected (from 54.1% to 65.8%).Women who were in places of direct war invasion had a much harder time enduring stressful events, as evidenced by high levels of situational anxiety. Women who were under the influence of the factors of the armed conflict, but were not directly invaded by the occupiers, are more prone to experiences of a social nature. Temporarily displaced persons showed certain tendencies towards adaptation, they were more concerned about the existing illness and had the highest level of personal anxiety.

Daily stress detection from real-life speeches using acoustic and semantic information.

Detecting daily stress is of vital importance for workplace safety and health, and natural speech is recommended as one of the main methods of mental stress detection. This study developed machine-learning models for daily stress detection from real-life speeches by fusing its acoustic and semantic signals. First, we collected real-life speech data from life-stress-catharsis room of online chat platform and established a speech database with real daily stress. Second, we obtained the model performances of common machine-learning classifiers for stress detection and compared them with human performance. The stress-detection classifiers achieved a promising performance of 74.25% accuracy and 83.73% F1-score using only acoustic signal. By fusing with the semantic signal, the stress detection model performance was significantly improved and achieved a performance of 81.20% accuracy and 87.46% F1-score, which validated the importance of semantic information in daily stress detection. Meanwhile, the best performance of the machine learning model was close to the human recognition capability. The results of this study validated the feasibility of detecting daily stress based on real speech. The models developed in this study could be used for daily stress detection in real life and can provide information for stress interventions to ease the negative effects on health.

Role of psychoemotional stress in abnormal occlusion

Background: Psychoemotional stress is one of the most significant risk factors in many pathological conditions. Aim: To assess the incidence and severity of psychoemotional stress in patients with abnormal occlusion. Materials and methods: The severity of psychoemotional stress was assessed in 120 patients with abnormal occlusion. A dental examination using primary and secondary methods was performed in all patients. Following a clinical examination, the patients were divided into three groups based on the severity of dental attrition (according to Bushan, 1979). The Russian version (according to Vodopianova) of the Psychological Stress Measure (PSM-25; Lemyr–Tessier–Fillion) was used to assess the severity of psychoemotional stress. The questionnaire included 25 questions with an 8-point score for the interpretation of answers, with 1 point representing the absence of psychoemotional stress symptoms and 8 points representing constant daily emotional stress. Results: The analysis revealed that 42 patients had enamel attrition (Group 1), 49 patients had enamel attrition with partially affected dentin (Group 2), and 29 patients had severe attrition that exposed the dentin (Group 3). All respondents reported experiencing varying levels of psychoemotional stress in their daily lives. The severity of stress increased with more severe clinical manifestations of abnormal occlusion. Moreover, the study revealed that the incidence of psychological stress of varying degrees was 100%. The most common manifestations of psychological stress in patients with abnormal occlusion were as follows: grinding and clenching habit (mean: 3.080±0.099 in Group 1, 4.870±0.185 in Group 2, and 6.080±0.122 in Group 3); feeling unwell (mean: 4.020±0.072, 5.620±0.107, and 6.02±0.12, respectively); fatigue (mean: 4.310±0.103, 5.920±0.124, and 7.310±0.263, respectively); and sleep disorders (mean: 5.280±0.121, 5.690±0.165, and 6.280±0.151, respectively). Conclusion: The severity of stress can be used as an integrated quantitative measure of an interdisciplinary approach in the management of these patients, highlighting the need for specialist consultations to improve the psychological status. The severity of stress is an objective efficacy criterion for the diagnosis and treatment, reflecting changes in the level of psychological stress.

Caregivers' physiological responses during toddler vaccinations: associations with psychological and behavioral responses.

This study investigated biological, psychological, and behavioral aspects of caregivers' responses to toddlers' pain-related distress by measuring caregivers' high-frequency heart rate variability (HRV) responses during toddler vaccination pain and examining associations with caregivers' behavioral responses and psychological stress. Participants included caregiver-toddler dyads (N = 194) from a longitudinal cohort-sequential study who were observed during toddlers' 12-, 18-, or 24-month routine vaccinations. Changes in caregiver HRV were analyzed using growth curve modeling. Conditional growth curve models examined associations between caregiver HRV and caregivers' concurrent behavior and psychological stress. The unconditional growth curve model indicated a slight linear decrease in caregiver HRV (i.e., vagal withdrawal) across the 3 min post-needle (unstandardized B = -0.06, p = .049). In conditional growth curve models, higher levels of parenting stress were associated with less vagal withdrawal during the post-needle period (standardized B = 0.47, unstandardized B = 0.02, p = .003). Caregivers' behavioral responses (i.e., use of soothing and distress-promoting behaviors), state anxiety, and general anxiety symptomology were not significantly associated with HRV responses. Caregiver parasympathetic nervous system activity levels changed minimally from baseline to post-needle and decreased slightly across the post-needle period. Caregivers' self-reported parenting stress was associated with their parasympathetic responses to the procedure. Findings support an improved understanding of the mechanisms underlying caregivers' responses to children's pain-related distress in a naturalistic setting.

Dysregulated RBM24 phosphorylation impairs APOE translation underlying psychological stress-induced cardiovascular disease

Psychological stress contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and sudden cardiac death, yet its molecular basis remains obscure. RNA binding protein RBM24 plays a critical role in cardiac development, rhythm regulation, and cellular stress. Here, we show that psychological stress activates RBM24 S181 phosphorylation through eIF4E2-GSK3β signaling, which causally links psychological stress to CVD by promoting APOE translation (apolipoprotein E). Using an Rbm24 S181A KI mouse model, we show that impaired S181 phosphorylation leads to cardiac contractile dysfunction, atrial fibrillation, dyslipidemia, reduced muscle strength, behavioral abnormalities, and sudden death under acute and chronic psychological stressors. The impaired S181 phosphorylation of RBM24 inhibits cardiac translation, including APOE translation. Notably, cardiomyocyte-specific expression of APOE rescues cardiac electrophysiological abnormalities and contractile dysfunction, through preventing ROS stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Moreover, RBM24-S181 phosphorylation acts as a serum marker for chronic stress in human. These results provide a functional link between RBM24 phosphorylation, eIF4E-regulated APOE translation, and psychological-stress-induced CVD.

The Role of Psychological Factors and Resilience in Mediating Sports Passion in Triathletes

The present study aims to analyze the psychological characteristics associated with the performance of amateur athletes, exploring their relationships with key variables such as resilience, harmonious and obsessive passion, and perception of discomfort. The main objective is to establish the relationship between psychological characteristics and each of the variables used (resilience, personal competence, and acceptance of self and life), and to consider whether these are related to passion (harmonious and obsessive) through a structural equation analysis. The sample was composed of 110 persons: 87 adults (22 females, mean age 40.7 ± 9.1 years; 65 males, mean age in years 42.1 ± 11.9) and 23 adolescents (16 females, mean age 14.8 ± 1.3 years; 7 males, mean age 15.3 ± 2.1 years). Psychological characteristics were assessed using the Psychological Characteristics Related to Performance (CPRD) questionnaire, passion using the Passion Scale instrument, and resilience using the Resilience Scale (RS-14) questionnaire. The analyses were based on a structural equation model analysis (PLS-SEM). The results showed adequate coefficients of determination (R index2) and Stone–Geisser predictive relevance (Q2) for the personal competence resilience factors (R2 = 0.517; Q2 = 0.218) and acceptance of self and life (R2 =.415; Q2 = 0.231), as well as for the passion dimensions harmonious passion (R2 = 0.357; Q2 = 0.168) and obsessive passion (R2 = 0.085; Q2 = 0.034). In conclusion, a close relationship was demonstrated between psychological characteristics related to sports performance and the variables of resilience and passion (both harmonious and obsessive). In particular, it was confirmed that mental skills and stress management are linked to the dimensions of resilience, and these dimensions influence both types of passion. In addition, team cohesion and personal competence also play a crucial role in the development of passion, highlighting the importance of these factors in the assessment of sports performance and influencing the well-being of amateur athletes in their personal and sports development.
