“…This is one of few studies to ascertain correlates of MHNs' attitudes towards families' importance in mental healthcare practice. Generally, MHNs in this study demonstrated positive attitudes concerning family involvement in mental healthcare, which is in line with previous research among primary healthcare nurses in the care of patients with mental health problems (Fernandes et al, 2018; Nóbrega et al, 2020). This finding also corroborates the fact that families act as pivotal institutions representing supporting roles in patient care.…”

“…A systematic review performed by Barreto et al (2022) indicates that supportive attitudes of nurses towards involving families in nursing care are related to nurses' characteristics including older age, greater clinical experiences, higher educational level, and working at primary healthcare and/or outpatient services. Nurses working in primary healthcare services who attain higher educational degrees and receive specialized education/training in family nursing display favourable attitudes towards the importance of families in the care of patients with mental illness (Fernandes et al, 2018; Nóbrega et al, 2020). Specifically, MHNs who have had an experience of illness in their own family (Sveinbjarnardottir et al, 2011) and more years of clinical experience (Hsiao & Tsai, 2015; Sveinbjarnardottir et al, 2011) hold more positive attitudes about families' importance in mental healthcare practice.…”

Family involvement in mental healthcare is a key ingredient in the recovery of patients with mental illness. Research on the attitudes of mental health nurses regarding family involvement in mental healthcare remains limited. This study aimed to examine factors that affect the attitudes of mental health nurses towards the importance of family involvement in mental health nursing care. A descriptive, correlational study with a cross‐sectional design was conducted with 162 mental health nurses at two psychiatric hospitals in Taiwan. Descriptive statistics, independent t‐tests, one‐way analysis of variance, and stepwise multiple linear regression analyses were applied to analyse data. Mental health nurses generally demonstrated positive attitudes towards incorporating families into nursing care. Older age, more clinical experiences in mental healthcare, and workplace (such as working in chronic psychiatric inpatient wards) were found to be key factors for mental health nurses' attitudes. Particularly, greater competence in working with families and job satisfaction were the most significant factors associated with positive attitudes of mental health nurses towards involving families as important in nursing care. Insight into correlates of mental health nurses' attitudes towards the importance of focusing on families in care is pivotal for targeted interventions to improve nurses' attitudes towards families and, thus, implement family engagement in mental healthcare practices.

“…These results reinforce that mental health goes beyond the biological issues, being the result of multiple social, economic, psychological and cultural interactions [75]. Therefore, it is not only related to the absence of manifestations of mental distress, with the need to assess the frequency and intensity of these events and how this affects people's quality of life [76][77][78].…”

“…Cultural factors can partially explain men's adherence to the health protection measures and consequent increase in the incidence of CMDs during the pandemic period. Generally, men are encouraged to adopt patriarchal values where self-care and health practices go against their masculinity and reinforce the stereotypes of independence, virility, courage and strength which, in turn, can prevent them from adopting protective health [78][79][80][81][82].…”

Objective: to analyze the relationships between sociodemographic variables, intolerance to uncertainty (INT), social support and psychological distress (i.e., indicators of Common Mental Disorders [CMDs] and perceived stress [PS]) in Brazilian men during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: a cross-sectional study with national coverage, of the web survey type, and conducted with 1,006 Brazilian men during the period of social circulation restriction imposed by the health authorities in Brazil, for suppression of the coronavirus and control of the pandemic. Structural equation modeling analysis was performed. Results: Statistically significant direct effects of race/skin color (λ=0.268; p-value<0.001), socioeconomic status (SES) (λ=0.306; p-value<0.001), household composition (λ=0.281; p-value<0.001), PS (λ=0.513; p-value<0.001) and INT (λ=0.421; p-value<0.001) were evidenced in the occurrence of CMDs. Black-skinned men, with higher SES, living alone and with higher PS and INT levels presented higher prevalence values of CMDs. Conclusions: high levels of PS and INT were the factors that presented the strongest associations with the occurrence of CMDs among the men. It is necessary to implement actions to reduce the stress-generating sources, as well as to promote an increase in resilience and the development of intrinsic reinforcements to deal with uncertain threats.

“…Considerando que nos últimos cinco anos foram divulgados estudos realizados no Brasil, utilizando a versão portuguesa da escala FINC-NA, (26,27) ou então esta versão, porém submetida à verificação da equivalência semântica para o português do Brasil, (28)(29)(30)(31) julgou-se necessário realizar o processo total de adaptação deste instrumento para a cultura brasileira. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a validade de construto e a confiabilidade interna da versão brasileira da escala Families' Importance in Nursing Care-Nurses' Attitudes.…”

Conflitos de interesse: nada a declarar.Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar a validade de construto e a confiabilidade interna da versão brasileira da escala Families' Importance in Nursing Care-Nurses' Attitudes (FINC-NA). Métodos: Estudo metodológico, cujos dados foram coletados em novembro de 2019, com 283 enfermeiros, atuantes em três hospitais universitários do estado do Paraná. Utilizou-se o coeficiente α-Conbrach para determinar a consistência interna, análise fatorial exploratória (AFE) em componentes principais, com rotação Varimax para a validade de construto. A relação entre variáveis observadas e variáveis latentes foi avaliada por meio da Análise Fatorial Confirmatória (AFC).Resultados: Os participantes tinham idade média de 40 anos, a maioria era casada, do sexo feminino, e mais de 30% tinham título de mestre ou doutor. Na AFE foram eliminados cincos itens (correlação abaixo de 0,30). O modelo final conservou três fatores, explicando 52,2% da variância dos dados, sendo os mesmos reinterpretados teoricamente. Na AFC os três fatores apresentaram forte correlação (acima de 0,7), porém mais três itens foram excluídos. Não se confirmou relação de causa e efeito entre os três construtos, mas foi ratificado que os itens são confiáveis para se medir as três novas dimensões após a reinterpretação, pois todas as cargas fatoriais são maiores que 0,5. O instrumento final validado conta com 18 itens distribuídos em três fatores e um α-Conbrach de 0,91.Conclusão: A escala possui propriedades psicométricas satisfatórias, demonstrando adequadas evidências de validade e confiabilidade.
