Psychotic-like experiences interaction with common risk factors for suicidal ideation
No full textSuicide is a significant global health issue. A number of risk and protective factors have been associated with suicidal ideation, including resilience, social connectedness, adverse child-hood experiences and psychotic-like experiences (PLEs). In this study we aimed at measuring the impact of PLEs on suicidality and at exploring how the presence of PLEs moderates the effect of resilience, social connectedness and adverse childhood experiences on suicidal ideation in a sample of 500 undergraduate students using an on-line survey. PLEs were strong predictors of suicidality in the whole sample (OR= 5.45, 95%CI [2.62, 11.30]).The effect of resilience, social connectedness and adverse childhood experiences on suicid-ality was assessed separately for individuals with and without psychotic experience. In in-dividuals without PLEs adverse childhood experiences, poor social connectedness and poor resilience were strongly associated with suicide (OR = 1.87 [1.25, 2.80], OR = 3.68 [2.18, 6.21] and OR = 4.06 [2.37, 6.94] respectively). These associations were weaker in subjects with PLEs (OR = 1.28 [0.76, 2.06], OR = 2.12 [1.13, 3.99] and OR = 2.50 [1.26, 4.94] re-spectively).The effect of interpersonal and environmental risk factors for suicide was hampered in pres-ence of PLEs. Psychological implications are discussed. (PDF) Psychotic-like experiences interaction with common risk factors for suicidal ideation.

No full textMental Health Outcomes Among Healthcare Workers and the General Population During the COVID-19 in Italy
Full text linkIntroduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers in Italy have been exposed to an unprecedented pressure and traumatic events. However, no direct comparison with the general population is available so far. The aim of this study is to detail mental health outcomes in healthcare workers compared to the general population. Methods: 24050 respondents completed an on-line questionnaire during the contagion peak, 21342 general population, 1295 second-line healthcare workers, and 1411 front-line healthcare workers. Depressive, anxious, post-traumatic symptoms and insomnia were assessed. Specific COVID-19 related potential risk factors were also considered in healthcare workers. Results: Depressive symptoms were more frequent in the general population (28.12%) and front-line healthcare workers (28.35%) compared to the second-line healthcare workers (19.98%) groups. Anxiety symptoms showed a prevalence of 21.25% in the general population, 18.05% for second-line healthcare workers, and 20.55% for front-line healthcare workers. Insomnia showed a prevalence of 7.82, 6.58, and 9.92% for the general population, second-line healthcare workers, and front-line healthcare workers, respectively. Compared to the general population, front-line healthcare workers had higher odds of endorsing total trauma-related symptoms. Both second-line healthcare workers and front-line healthcare workers had higher odds of endorsing core post-traumatic symptoms compared to the general population, while second-line healthcare workers had lower odds of endorsing negative affect and dissociative symptoms. Higher total traumatic symptom score was associated with being a front-line healthcare worker, having a colleague infected, hospitalized, or deceased, being a nurse, female gender, and younger age. Conclusion: This study suggests a significant psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Italian general population and healthcare workers. Front-line healthcare workers represent a specific at-risk population for post-traumatic symptoms. These findings underline the importance of monitoring and intervention strategies
Role of attachment style in the association between childhood adversities and non-suicidal self-injury among young adults: a multigroup structural equation study
Full text linkBackground Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant health concern among adolescents and young adults, often resulting from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Dissociation, post-traumatic symptoms and attachment style may have a role in shaping such associations. Aims This study aims to provide a unified model of the impact of ACEs on NSSI, exploring complex post-traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD) symptoms and dissociation as potential mediators and the role of the predominant attachment style in affecting such associations. Methods 1010 young individuals attending the last year of high school participated in this cross-sectional study. ACEs, cPTSD, dissociation and NSSI were evaluated using self-report questionnaires. We fitted a path model of NSSI, with ACEs as exogenous variables and cPTSD and dissociation as sequential mediators. Secure, fearful and preoccupied attachment styles were modelled as grouping variables. Results Our findings showed that dissociation mediated the impact of ACEs on NSSI in subjects with a fearful attachment style, as opposed to those with a preoccupied attachment for whom cPTSD symptoms mediated the ACEs-NSSI association. Conclusions Attachment styles moderate the relationship between ACEs and NSSI, with either dissociation or post-traumatic symptomatology mediating the impact of ACEs on NSSI, depending on the predominant attachment style. Our results highlight the importance of attachment as a pathway modifier in the relationships between different psychopathology dimensions, providing a useful framework to better conceptualise the ACEs-NSSI association
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
