Outcomes of Best-Practice Guided Digital Mental Health Interventions for Youth and Young Adults with Emerging Symptoms: Part II. A Systematic Review of User Experience Outcomes.

Although many young people demonstrate resilience and strength, research and clinical evidence highlight an upward trend in mental health concerns among those aged 12 to 25years. Youth-specific digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) aim to address this trend by providing timely access to mental health support for young people (12-25years). However, there is a considerable gap in understanding young people user experiences with digital interventions. This review, co-designed with Australia's leading mental health organization Beyond Blue, utilizes a systematic methodology to synthesize evidence on user experience in youth-oriented digital mental health interventions that are fully or partially guided. Five relevant online databases were searched for articles published from 2018 to 2023, yielding 22,482 articles for screening and 22 studies were included in the present analysis. User experience outcomes relating to satisfaction and engagement were assessed for each included intervention, with experience indicators relating to usefulness, usability, value, credibility, and desirability being examined. Elements associated with positive/negative outcomes were extracted. Elements shown to positively influence user experience included peer engagement, modern app-based delivery, asynchronous support, and personalized content. In contrast, users disliked static content, homework/log-keeping, the requirement for multiple devices, and social media integration. Asynchronous interventions showed high satisfaction but faced engagement issues, with combined asynchronous/synchronous interventions reporting better completion rates. DMHIs offer a promising platform for youth mental health support and has the potential to dramatically increase the reach of interventions through the adoption of technological and user experience best practices. While young people respond positively to many aspects of intervention modernization, such as interactive, app-based design, other concepts, such as social media integration, they need to be adopted by the field more cautiously to ensure trust and engagement.Trial Registration CRD42023405812.

The concept of privacy in the digital world according to teenagers

Abstract Aim This study aims first to explore how adolescents define the idea of online privacy and how well they understand all the implications of using their data online, using emergent themes modeling. A co-occurrence analysis comparing narratives was performed to better understand how the concept of online privacy differed according to participants’ age. Subject and methods Five hundred eighty-eight adolescents (64.8% female) completed a narrative task about their definition of online privacy. “Reflection of self-online,” “digital safe,” “human right,” and “ability to surf the web and emotional consequences” are the four emergent themes closely related to the adolescents’ definition and meaning of online privacy. Results The results did not show differences between the two age groups in the interpretation of the construct, except for the concept of safety. Adolescents older than 15 years used more emotional content. Conclusion The findings are discussed in terms of how understanding young people’s online privacy can help to design a safer Internet.

ЦІННІСНІ ОРІЄНТИРИ ВІЙСЬКОВО-ПАТРІОТИЧНОГО ВИХОВАННЯ СТУДЕНТСЬКОЇ МОЛОДІ В УМОВАХ СУЧАСНОГО РЕФОРМУВАННЯ ВИЩОЇ ШКОЛИ

The article focuses attention on the importance of prioritizing militarypatriotic education of student youth in higher schools of Ukraine in the conditions of today's realities (war with the Russian Federation). It is emphasized that military- patriotic education is an integral part of patriotic education. It is noted that the organization of military-patriotic education should be aimed at making student youth aware of the significance and importance in their lives of striving to protect their country; formation of psycho-physical and moral-spiritual readiness for service in the army; understanding the values of this important aspect of their life for themselves, their families and the country on the whole. Modern youth should feel the need to protect their country on all fronts, starting directly from the front line and ending with professional, competent, qualified and competent help in the reconstruction of Ukraine. The desire of student youth to join these undoubtedly historic and significant moments of the life of Ukraine will testify to their awareness of civic duty, courage, understanding of the life values, freedom and development; wishes for constructive and positive changes; overcoming those obstacles that prevent the country from flourishing. It is noted that the values of democracy, as shown by professional pedagogical experience, cannot be considered and realized without students' understanding of their own mandatory contribution to the protection and preservation of their state. Emphasis is placed on priority forms and methods of military-patriotic education of student youth. It is emphasized that the military-patriotic aspect of educational activities focuses on: the need of young people to protect those values that are dearest to them; overcoming any manifestations of self-doubt; positive changes in your environment; motivation to make responsible decisions; understanding and feeling like a person who wants and can protect himself, his family and country. Summarizes the importance and priority in the modern higher education of Ukraine: the military-patriotic direction of education of student youth; young people's understanding of the country's values, its protection and independence; students' understanding and solving of social and moral problems in the context of society's challenges; formation of moral thinking, moral maturity and moral self-improvement; recognition of moral provocateurs and false values. It is noted that the democratic values chosen and defended by Ukrainians are confirmed by their desire for a civilizational choice for society, the state and the development of their children, which is an absolute priority in modelling the system of the educational process of modern higher schools of Ukraine.

Трудоустройство молодежи с инвалидностью: решение проблемы в Европе и США

<p style="text-align: justify;">Decisions regarding career and education are among the most important ones young people make. Successful career guidance is an individual and a social benefit: it helps people make progress in school and work, but it also helps the efficient functioning of labor and educational markets, and contributes to a number of social policy objectives. This supports government investment in career guidance. Career guidance programs — in and out of school — have a formative impact on young people's understanding of themselves and the world of jobs and can improve outcomes in educational and social services, as well as in the economy. Therefore as young people continue the education and training longer and the labor market becomes more sophisticated, the need for career guidance increases. The article presents an overview of current approaches and methods in the career guidance for young people with disabilities in the European Union and the USA. Demographic characteristics and employment rate of the population with disabilities in the reviewed regions are given. The tools (“Individual Transition/Education Plan”) used to manage the transition from school to work are explored in details in the context of expectations and requirements from national legislation. The research describes the roles and tasks to be performed by all involved parties at various stages in the development of Individual Transition/Education Plans. Special attention is paid to the assessment of professional competences which are fundamental to start a successful career. Also areas for development in successful career guidance support are mentioned, including the need for schools to start the occupational education early and the essential role of exposure to the world of job.</p>

Social Entrepreneurship In The New Economy Among The Younger Generation

Purpose: This essay aims to reconstruct young people's understanding of and attitude towards social entrepreneurship as a field of endeavour critical to developing crucial competencies in the New Economy. The study also aims to describe young people's perceptions of their willingness to participate in society and the current economy as agents.
 Design/methodology/approach: a diagnostic study (based on a so-called task catalogue) was carried out with a group of more than 500 students in Indonesian vocational high schools, senior high schools, and private schools, as well as three workshops with students from particular school types.
 Findings: According to the study, students are aware of the possibilities of engaging in social activism through broadly construed social entrepreneurship and third sector involvement. It was also proven that they are well cognizant of the opportunities and requirement for action in this regard. The materials that students have discussed transfer into skills required in the New Economy.
 Research limitations/implications: A lot of variables that could influence teenage behaviour must be taken into account in modern study. These difficulties will undoubtedly merit consideration throughout the formulation and creation of the research's tools in further in-depth studies.
 Practical implications: Young people's social entrepreneurship is constantly evolving, and even though its focus shifts (from shared management activities to civic engagement and social solidarity activities), it always refers to collaborative efforts on the cusp of economic and social reality. Young people's attitude towards carrying out duties that are beneficial to society is also evolving. Young people view them as a chance to address both societal issues and the difficulties posed by the postmodern world's transformations.
 Social implications: Young people are more conscious and involved citizens as well as more responsible future members of the New Economy thanks to the competencies they have acquired.
 Originality/value: The paper reconstructs the tools, strategies, and perspectives of young people towards the agency opportunities provided by social entrepreneurship. The knowledge that was gathered was examined in light of the project's competency-based competence issues.

Stavovi studenata u Republici Srpskoj prema trep muzici - od dominantnih narativa ka aktuelnim muzičkim preferencijama

Abstract: Historically speaking, different musical genres have periodically been a reason and a tool in the labelling of certain social groups, and recently, similar cautionary narratives have been found in trap music as well. They range from concern for young people's tastes, values and understanding to a moral panic that requires the regulation of public policies and the response of political actors. This observation of musical preferences is the result of a long-term understanding of cultural consumption through Pierre Bourdieu's theory of homology, where tastes appear as indicators of the status in society, that is, they indicate social hierarchies in which those who consume elite culture are at the top, while mass culture is reserved for the lower classes of society. As an alternative, Richard Peterson's theory of cultural omnivores and univores stands out in social sciences, indicating the necessity of a wider contextual positioning of cultural consumption and its perception in relation to other factors, thus showing that musical preferences can no longer be used as unmistakable indicators of social power relations, but that the cultural capital of those who are positioned higher on the social scale is reflected in the recognition and consumption of a wide range of genres and different cultural products. This understanding is complemented by the results of our exploratory research, which provide an overview of social and cultural factors that shape musical affinities and create certain perceptual frameworks regarding the trap genre. Research examines cultural and identity aspects of musical preferences among the student population in the Republic of Srpska, focusing on the phenomenon of trap music. The sample consists of 284 respondents (78.52% female students and 21.48% male students of the University of Banja Luka and the University of East Sarajevo). Through quantitative methodology, which included an online survey of the convenience sample, the goal was to uncover how dominant social narratives about trap music are reflected or challenged within the student community. Although the research has shortcomings (in terms of the non-representative sample and the necessity of using a local method), preliminary findings indicate that music preferences depend on a wider socio-cultural context, that the student population cannot be viewed homogeneously and that listening to trap music is part of a life stage (early youth). In addition, it is important to conclude that the audience of this genre separates reality from artistic expression, but also recognizes the dominant capitalist dimension of the music industry.

Family conflict as ontological (in)security for young people with experiences of homelessness

AbstractExperiences of family conflict are common in young people's accounts of homelessness, yet in‐depth explorations and conceptualisations of these experiences remain sparse. Drawing on focus group discussions with 29 participants, this article explores the accounts of young people and carers and parents about the dynamics, interactions and characteristics of family conflict. Findings highlight the primacy of verbal insults, criticisms or threats, as well as acts of aggression and violence in young people's and parent's understandings of family conflict. Feelings of mistrust, instability and a lack of safety also pervade family conflict and are considered its most impactful elements. We contend that these impacts are best understood via the concept of ontological (in)security, whereby young people's sense of self, belonging and stability are undermined by family conflict. This provides important insights for developing practice in this space, where working to remove long‐term patterns of family conflict, restoring young people's sense of self and belonging within their family, and supporting the stability and trust within a family may prove beneficial.

University Students' Perceptions of Ethical Leadership and Work Ethics

To achieve the sustainable development goals, it is recommended that organizations worldwide set and adhere to ethical and governance standards. Workplace ethics is an expression of the values an organization holds towards its employees, and therefore includes the behavior of managers and their leadership style and practices. The young generations' perceptions of ethical leadership are worth exploring because they will be the decision-makers of the future. In our research, we interviewed Hungarian university students - mainly studying economics - about ethical leadership and work ethics who have had work experience (N=143). We developed our hypotheses based on Starratt's three-dimensional ethical model and conducted SEM analysis using SmartPLS4 software. We found that the Ethics of Justice factor influences the Ethics of Critique and Ethics of Care factors. Our results also show that achieving greater social justice is important to them in their decision-making. The surveyed Generation Z in Hungary considers the interests of both the individual and the community to be important for workplace ethics. Our research contributes to young people's understanding of ethics in the workplace and ethical leadership.

‘Doing things you don't wanna do’: young people's understandings of power inequalities and the implications for sexual consent

ABSTRACT Legal definitions of sexual consent emphasise ‘freedom’ as central to valid consent; however, power inequalities may complicate freedom. This paper discusses findings from a two-stage focus group study with young people (aged 13–23) in England exploring the implications of power inequalities for sexual consent. In Stage 1, 77 participants explored and ranked the types of power inequalities they felt were common within young people's sexual relationships, with age, gender and popularity being identified as the most common power inequalities. In Stage 2, 43 participants discussed power inequalities using scenarios based on the Stage 1 findings and considered their implications for sexual consent. Thematic analysis of the data produced two themes: powerless and powerful roles in consent communication and power inequalities implicitly constrain freedom to consent. Consent communication was constructed as a unidirectional process whereby those with more power initiate, and those with less, gatekeep. Such roles require deconstruction to position consent as mutual and actively negotiated by partners. Further, since power inequalities were seen to place implicit constraints on freedom to consent, we advocate for an explicit exploration of power and privilege within Relationships and Sex Education to equip young people to recognise, challenge and negotiate these constraints.

The paradox of endless options and unrealistic expectations: understanding the impact on youth mental health

ABSTRACT There is substantial evidence pointing towards a rise in mental health problems among young people worldwide. A recent survey showed that, compared to older age groups, Faroese young people aged 18–24 struggled the most with symptoms of psychological stress, depression, and loneliness. They also worried more about their economic and housing conditions compared to their older counterparts. The reasons for the higher degree of young people´s mental health challenges, however, remain unclear. The aim of this study was therefore to gain insight into the contributors to young people´s mental health. Six semi-structured focus group interviews were conducted with 28 people aged 18–34. Through the thematic analysis, three main themes were identified: 1. Too many options, 2. High expectations and 3. Limiting small-scale living. We interpret these themes as being intricately connected to the recent societal changes, and we address the importance of understanding young people´s mental health considering this context.

Learning Injustice: Historical Memory of the Indonesian 1965 Genocide and Education to Young People

Abstract: When a state refuses to confront and resolve its burned history of past abuses by eliminating its unjust narratives and official history, how will the younger generation learn about its nation's dark past? This article attempts to answer this question by looking at several teaching initiatives that emphasize historical memory in Indonesia. The genocide against leftist groups that began in October 1965 is still being denied by the state, even though some elements of civil society, including victims' groups, have tried various efforts to ensure that the state can carry out the transitional justice agenda. By conducting interviews and direct observations, this paper finds some historical justice education initiatives carried out against young people by elements of civil society. This form of education is quite effective in critically building young people's historical understanding and their agency in the community.

Recovering the Vocational Self?: Service User Accounts of Barriers to Work and School and the Role of Early Psychosis Services in Supporting Career Development.

Vocational recovery is frequently identified as a primary goal of specialized early intervention in psychosis services (EIS). However, few studies have investigated the multi-level impacts of psychosis and its social sequelae on emerging vocational identities and mechanisms by which EIS may contribute to longer-term career development. The goal of this study was to deepen our understanding of the experiences of young adults with early psychosis during and following discharge from EIS as they relate to vocational derailment, identity and career development. We conducted in-depth interviews with 25 former EIS recipients and five family members (N = 30). Interviews were analyzed using modified grounded theory, with an orientation to generating a rich, theory informed understanding young people's experiences. Approximately half of the participants in our sample were not in employment, education, or training (NEET) and had applied for or were receiving disability benefits (SSI/SSDI). Among those participants who were working, the majority reported short-term, low-wage work. Thematic findings elucidate factors underlying the erosion of vocational identity, as well as ways in which both participant-reported vocational service characteristics and socioeconomic background shape different pathways to college, work and/or disability benefits both during and following discharge from EIS. Findings underscore the need for additional research on vocational identity among youth and young adults with early psychosis and the development and evaluation of interventions designed to support career development, address social and structural barriers to education and training, and foster long-term socioeconomic mobility.

"Instead of Being on a Screen You Can Be More Out There and Enjoy Your Life": Young People's Understandings of Physical Activity for Health.

Despite documented evidence of the benefits of leading a physically active life, it is reported that less than half of young people in Europe meet the physical activity recommendations. Schools, and in particular physical education (PE), are viewed to be at the forefront of addressing inactive lifestyles and educating young people about physical activity. Nonetheless, given advancements in technology, young people are increasingly exposed to physical activity information "beyond the school gates". Consequently, if PE teachers are to support young people to understand the information they receive surrounding physical activity online, then they need to be able to address any misconceptions about health they may have. In this study, fourteen young people (7 boys and 7 girls) in year 9 (13-14 years old) from two secondary schools in England participated in a digitally-based activity and semi-structured interviews which aimed to explore their conceptions of physical activity for health. It was found that the young people had limited and narrow conceptions of what it means to be physically active. It was suggested the findings could be partly attributed to limitations in students' learning and experiences with respect to physical activity and health in the PE curriculum.

A review of safeguarding in grassroots football: Children and young people's perspectives

AbstractIn 2021, Birmingham County Football Association (BCFA) in partnership with Newman University carried out a quantitative online review to assess coaches, volunteers, parents and young people's understanding of safeguarding information, policies and procedures in relation to football. This paper examines the findings from the children (aged 5–11) and young people (aged 12–17) using the Six Principles of Safeguarding to assess the current safeguarding measures in place to protect children and young people (CYP) playing grassroots football. The review found that whilst most CYP felt safe when playing organised football, there were some concerns raised from the young people in relation to angry parents, abuse and racism. Most children in both groupings had heard of the term safeguarding, but fewer had heard of the term welfare, and struggled to explain what welfare meant. A key finding and concern is that many CYP are not aware of the role of the Club Welfare Officer at their football club or that this might be someone to whom they can disclose issues concerning them. Furthermore, it became evident that further research, awareness raising and implementation of listening to and acting on children's voices needs to be fully embedded into safeguarding practice in children and young people's organised football.

Socio-cultural attitudes toward the body as a predictor of motivation for physical activity in young people brought up in Asian and European culture—Chinese-Polish comparison

The influence of sociocultural attitudes toward the body on young people’s physical activity has received increasing attention. However, there is a lack of cross-cultural research in this area. The main aim of this research was to identify the similarities and differences in the sociocultural attitudes toward the body of Polish and Chinese young people who grew up in European and Asian cultures and to analyze their effect on the motivation for physical activity. A cross-sectional research study was conducted among 18- to 30-year-old Polish (n = 259) and Chinese (n = 208) young people. The variables were measured using the Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire 3 (SATAQ 3) and the Inventory of Physical Activity Objectives (IPAO). Descriptive and comparative statistics, Spearman’s rho, and the stepwise multiple regression analysis were used. The main analysis showed There are both similarities and significant differences in the performance of young Polish and Chinese men and women on the variables studied; Internalization-Athlete, Pressures, and Internalization-General are universal sociocultural predictors of motivation for physical activity among young people in Poland and China; Information is a specific sociocultural predictor of motivation for physical activity in Polish young people. The cultural nuances need to be considered in understanding young people’s Motivation for undertaking physical activity.
