Exploring the substitution of cannabis for alcohol and other drugs among a large convenience sample of people who use cannabis

BackgroundThe substitution of cannabis for alcohol and other drugs has been conceptualised in a harm reduction framework as where cannabis is used to reduce the negative side-effects, addiction potential, and social stigma of other drugs. There is currently mixed evidence with recent reviews suggesting cannabis co-use patterns may vary by age and ethnicity. Yet few studies have had large enough samples to examine this demographic variation in detail.AimsTo explore the co-use of cannabis with alcohol and other drugs within demographic subgroups of a large sample of people who use cannabis. Specifically: (1) whether cannabis is being substituted for other drugs, and (2), whether cannabis use leads to more, less or the same level of other drug use.MethodOnline convenience survey promoted via Facebook™ completed by 23,500 New Zealand respondents. Those who had used cannabis and any of eight other substances in the same six-month period were asked if their use of cannabis had any impact on their use of each other substance (“a lot more”, “little more”, “no impact/same”, “little less”, “a lot less”). Frequency and quantity used of each other drug was compared by co-use group. Generalised logistic regression models were developed to predict co-use categories.ResultsSignificant proportions reported cannabis use led to “less” alcohol (60%), synthetic cannabinoid (60%), morphine (44%) and methamphetamine (40%) use. Those who reported using “less” had lower frequency and amount used of other drugs. Approximately seven-out-ten reported cannabis use had “no impact” on LSD, MDMA, and cocaine use. One-in-five reported using cannabis led to “more” tobacco use. Young adults (21–35-years) were more likely to report cannabis use led to “less” drinking and methamphetamine use. Adolescent co-users (16–20 years) reported mixed impacts. Māori were more likely to report cannabis use resulted in “less” alcohol, tobacco, methamphetamine, and LSD use. Students and those living in cities were less likely to report cannabis use lowering use of other substances.ConclusionCannabis and other drug co-use patterns are moderated by life stages, lifestyles, cultural perspectives, and urbanicity. Harm reduction initiatives and policy reforms should take account of these moderating factors.

Patuntung Ilalang Embayya: Exposing Implicit Violence and Reducing Negative Stigma through Albert Ellis' Perspective

The indigenous Kajang Ilalang Embayya community in Bulukumba, who adhere to the Patuntung faith, often face implicit violence such as negative stigma, discrimination, cultural norms, and social structures due to the conservatism of their local beliefs. This study aims to uncover the implicit violence experienced by Patuntung adherents, explore the existence strategies of the Patuntung belief system, and evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive disputation techniques in multicultural counseling from Albert Ellis' perspective to reduce negative stigma. This research uses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design and quantitative statistical analysis to assess changes after the intervention. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and questionnaires, then analyzed using Atlas.Ti and JASP software.

Introducing the ELPIS scale: a novel tool for measuring emotional empathy toward cancer patients.

Empathy, defined as the ability to understand and share another person's feelings, is crucial in the healthcare setting, particularly for patients with cancer who face significant psychosocial challenges. We aimed to develop a novel tool, the Empathy, Life with Cancer, and Psychosocial Skills (ELPIS) Scale that prioritizes emotional and cognitive components in order to determine the reflection of the negative stigmatization of cancer in societies on individuals, excluding the behavioral and ethical dimensions of empathy. The study was conducted using a quantitative research design with a sample of first- and second-year medical students in Türkiye. An initial pool of 48 items was developed based on an extensive review of the literature and existing empathy scales. Following expert review and pilot testing, the scale was refined to 24 items. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to establish the scale's factor structure and validate its reliability and validity. The exploratory factor analysis revealed a three-factor structure comprising "emotional empathy," "sympathetic responses," and "realistic approaches," with a total of 20 items after refinement. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the model fit, with the scale demonstrating high internal consistency across all three dimensions. The scale's reliability was further supported by high Cronbach's alpha values. The results suggest that the ELPIS Scale is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring emotional empathy toward cancer patients. It offers a nuanced approach by separately assessing emotional, sympathetic, and realistic components of empathy, making it a valuable tool for both educational and clinical applications. Future research should explore the scale's application in diverse populations and settings, as well as its utility in tracking empathy development over time. In conclusion, the ELPIS Scale, which focuses on the emotional and cognitive components of empathy, a multifaceted construct, fills a critical gap in the measurement of empathy in the context of cancer care and provides a comprehensive tool that can improve both patient care and the education of healthcare providers.

Defensive Behavior and Integumentary Morphology of the Hairy Dwarf Porcupine Coendou spinosus (Rodentia: Erethizontidae).

New World porcupines (Erethizontidae) exhibit behaviors and possess integumentary structures, including the quills, that are used for self-defense. The North American porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) has been well studied regarding these features; however, information is lacking for the South American Coendou species. We describe the defensive behavior and integumentary morphology of Coendou spinosus to understand the defensive strategies of this species and to compare with those reported for other species. We assessed the behaviors related to warning, defense, and escape of eight porcupines, as well as the characteristics of their pelage and quills. Furthermore, we microscopically analyzed skin samples of a roadkill adult male specimen. Similar to E. dorsatum, C. spinosus exhibited omnidirectional quill erection, revealing an aposematic color and, with their backs toward the perceived human threat, they performed quick tail and body movements to strike the hands of the human trying to capture them by the tail. Furthermore, C. spinosus presented an integumentary structure similar to that of E. dorsatum, and mechanisms to facilitate quill release when touched, penetration, and fixation in the opponent. The most distinct warning behavior noted was the vibration of the quills, which has not been reported for Erethizon. Our study confirms that, like other erethizontids, C. spinosus does not attack but exhibits warning, defense, and escape mechanisms and behaviors when threatened or touched. The dissemination of such information helps to counter the negative stigma associated with porcupines, as they can be the victims of attacks by dogs and humans, and to promote their conservation.

Name and Power Relation to African-American Identity in Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man

This study aims to explore the relationship between names and African-American identity in Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man. Through a qualitative descriptive analysis, the study investigates how power relations influence the construction of African-American identity in the novel. This study used semiotic approach by applying Charles Sander Peirce’s semiotic theory in examiningg the use of name, as well as sociological approach by applying Michel Foucault's concept of power relations in analyzing power relation to social identity. The findings reveal that names, while significant, are not the sole determinants of African-American identity. The study discovers that, after the Civil War, many African-American characters in the novel chose names of European origin in an attempt to avoid negative racial stigma and discrimination. Instead, the study finds that identity construction is primarily shaped by social categorization and comparison and that power relations play a crucial role in limiting positive representations of African-American identity. This study sheds new light on the relationship between names, power, and African-American identity in literature and provides insights into the ongoing discourse surrounding these important cultural and social issues.

Relationships between stigma, coping styles, self-care and post-traumatic growth among colorectal cancer patients with permanent enterostomy: A cross-sectional study

Post-traumatic growth is a positive outcome that helps buffer the adverse experiences in patients after traumatic enterostomy surgery. This study aimed to investigate post-traumatic growth among patients with permanent enterostomy and explore the relationships between stigma, coping styles, self-care, and post-traumatic growth. Convenience sampling was used to enroll patients who underwent a permanent enterostomy. A total of 305 eligible participants completed self-reported questionnaires on stigma, coping styles, self-care, and post-traumatic growth, respectively. Positive coping style and self-care were positively correlated with post-traumatic growth (p < 0.001), whereas, negative coping style and stigma were negatively correlated with post-traumatic growth (p < 0.001). Serial mediation models revealed that stigma could significantly predict post-traumatic growth through five indirect pathways: (1) positive coping (effect = -0.129); (2) negative coping (effect = -0.051); (3) self-care (effect = -0.115); (4) chain mediation of positive coping and self-care (effect = -0.049); (5) chain mediation of negative coping and self-care (effect = -0.019), accounting for 17.6%, 6.9%, 15.6%, 6.7%, and 2.6% of the total effect, respectively. Our findings demonstrated that coping styles and self-care acted as separate and sequential mediators affecting the relationship between stigma and post-traumatic growth in patients who underwent enterostomy. Therefore, interventional strategies targeting coping styles and self-care may provide synergistic benefits to patients with permanent enterostomy by enhancing their post-traumatic growth.

Human Rights and Mental Health: A Review of Current Awareness and Emerging Developments

Human rights are universal fundamental protections worth of all individuals, including those with mental health conditions. However, these rights are often observed violated in mental health care settings, where individuals may face forced treatment, isolation, and degrading conditions. Despite global advocacy efforts, to ensuring that these rights are respected, continues to be a challenge for healthcare professionals and the general public. This review examines the current awareness of human rights among mental health professionals and the public, identifies the knowledge gaps, and highlights the recent developments in policy and practice aimed at improving human rights in mental health care. A comprehensive search of academic databases identified relevant studies published between 2019 and 2024. Findings suggest a promising level of public knowledge about human rights, yet negative attitudes and stigma persist. While improvements in mental health services have been observed among healthcare professionals; resource limitations and a lack of social support remain challenging. A gap between knowledge and practice is evident, necessitating further education and training to ensure a deeper understanding of human rights complexities in mental healthcare. Overall, this review underscores the importance of continued efforts to raise awareness and advocate for the human rights of individuals with mental health conditions. By implementing educational and sensitization programs, a supportive environment can be created that empowers them to seek help without fear of discrimination.

Perlindungan Perlindungan Terhadap Perempuan Korban Kekerasan Berbasis Gender Online Dalam Era Digital

In today’s digital era, sexual violence crimes often occur in cyberspace. Based on the annual records of the National Commission on Violence Against Women, reports of cases of online gender-based violence have increased in the last five years. Cyberspace is currently not a safe space for women. As a basic law, the Indonesian Constitution of 1945 explicitly regulates the right to a sense of security and protection for everyone. The methods used in this study are normative juridical using a legislative approach and a case approach. The purpose of this study is to provide legal arguments regarding whether an event is right or wrong and how the event should be according to law. Based on the results of the study, in law enforcement, law enforcement officers often use the electronic information and transactions law and the pornography law which results in victims being in a vulnerable position. The negative stigma from society and criminalization of victims result in a minimum of cases being resolved through litigation so that victims do not get the right to handling and recovery as mandated by the law on sexual violence. The state must guarantee a safe space for women in cyberspace. The state must carry out its commitment to provide justice and restitution to victims as mandated by law. For the sake of legal certainty, the government must immediately ratify the implementing regulations of the law on sexual violence. Provide socialization to the public regarding the law on sexual violence to increase public legal awareness and improve the competence of law enforcement officers by providing training in handling cases of online gender-based violence.

A randomized controlled trial of targeted vs. General direct-to-consumer marketing to address psychotherapy attitudes and stigma in military service members and Veterans

ABSTRACT Many military service members and Veterans who experience a psychological need do not seek psychotherapy, which may be due to negative attitudes and stigma toward mental health services. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of a general vs. military-specific direct-to-consumer psychotherapy marketing video to address psychotherapy attitudes in a nationwide sample of military service members and Veterans (N = 262). Participants were randomly assigned to watch a general commercial produced by the American Psychological Association (APA Video), a military-specific commercial produced by the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA Video), or a control video. After watching the video, they were asked to complete measures assessing public and self-stigma, attitudes, intentions, and preferences for psychotherapy. Consistent with our hypotheses, participants in the direct-to-consumer marketing conditions reported experiencing significantly less self-stigma and more positive attitudes and preferences for psychotherapy after watching their videos, compared to participants in the control condition. Participants who viewed the APA video also reported significantly less public stigma than those in the control condition. Contrary to our hypotheses, the targeted VA video did not outperform the general APA video on any of the dependent variables. These results support the use of direct-to-consumer psychotherapy marketing videos, general or targeted, with military service members and Veterans. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

Elevating property management in public housing: A systematic literature review

Public housing (PH) focuses on assisting low-income households with housing stability. However, the inefficiency of property management in PH gives rise to a range of challenges in both physical and internal operational management, leading to negative stigmatisation towards tenants living in PH. Various initiatives have been launched to address the inefficiencies of property management. This study categorised and elaborated these initiatives under three main categories: reconceptualisation, externalisation, and managerialisation. There is currently no systematic literature review that provides a comprehensive overview of the initiatives aimed at enhancing property management in PH on a global scale, despite the fact that an overwhelming number of initiatives have been proposed in various studies. Therefore, the present systematic literature review was conducted to provide a comprehensive understanding of the existing research and initiatives pertinent to PH property management. This thorough examination will not only inform the current state of property management practices but also provide valuable insights to guide future research endeavours and decision-making processes in this domain. The outcome of this study revealed the positive impact of managerialisation, showcasing its pivotal role in problem identification and as a strategic indicator for proposing solutions aimed at continuous improvement.

Evaluation of the psychometric properties of the homophobia scale in religious-based university students in Indonesia

This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the homophobia scale in students attending religion-based universities in Indonesia. This research is important as homosexuality is a controversial issue in the country and is still a topic of debate. The Homophobia Scale is a tool that assesses attitudes towards homosexuality through 17 items measuring positive affirmation, negative cognition, and the perceived threat of homosexual behavior. The scale was adapted for the Indonesian context, which is predominantly religious, based on The Heterosexual Attitudes Towards Homosexuality (HATH) Scale and Items, originally translated by bilingual experts. The translated scale was then reviewed for content by psychologists and communication experts, and field-tested for reliability and validity. Data from 327 students aged 18–35 from both state and private religion-based universities were analyzed using Rasch model analyses, including principal component analysis (PCA), reliability analysis, and differential item functioning (DIF) assessment. The study found that the homophobia scale accounted for 42.4 % of the raw variance, indicating its unidimensionality. The scale demonstrated an acceptable level of personal reliability and excellent reliability for individual items. Results revealed significant demographic effects, with age and study program showing more differential item functioning (DIF). Male students were more tolerant towards homosexuals than females. Additionally, students at state universities tended to be more tolerant but held negative views of homosexuality when associated with AIDS. In conclusion, the homophobia scale assessed in this study exhibits promising construct validity and sufficient psychometric properties. The findings indicate that negative stigma towards homosexuals and homophobia still persist among students at religion-based universities in Indonesia, despite limited interaction with homosexuals.

Implementasi Manajemen Konseling Kesehatan Mental bagi Mahasiswa Institut Teknologi dan Kesehatan Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Barat

Undergraduate students are individuals who experience a transition period that focuses on searching for self-identity. During this transition period, students will experience changes in their behavior, emotions and cognition. This change will affect the mental health status of students. Mental health problems in students are a serious problem to be handled because students' mental health problems are invisible but can have bad consequences if not treated immediately. Negative stigma towards mental health has an impact on students' awareness and initiative to resolve their mental health problems. Students feel embarrassed and think that this mental health problem can heal by itself. In fact, mental health problems will get worse if they are not handled well. The importance of mental health counseling services for students as a medium for early detection of mental health problems. Mental health screening can detect several mental health problems so that existing problems can be prevented and students' mental health status can improve. The role of the academic community is very important to support the existence of mental health counseling services. Moreover, policies and service standards do not yet exist at ITEKES Muhammadiyah West Kalimantan. Thus, this underlies strategic planning activities for mental health services that can be beneficial for students and have an impact on student welfare in maintaining their mental status.
