“…The Bonferroni-Holm correction ( Holm, 1979 ), a powerful sequentially rejective multiple testing procedure that strongly controls the family wise error rate, was applied to the McNemar pairwise tests to account for multiple comparisons. Effect sizes for Cochran Q tests were estimated using the chance-corrected measure (“ R ”) devised by Berry et al (2007) and interpreted using the following criteria: 0–0.2 (small), 0.2–0.5 (moderate), 0.6–0.8 (relatively large), 0.8–1 (large), as adopted in a recent study ( Morgado et al, 2021 ).…”

Uncertainty Makes Me Emotional: Uncertainty as an Elicitor and Modulator of Emotional States

Uncertainty and emotion are an inevitable part of everyday life and play a vital role in mental health. Yet, our understanding of how uncertainty and emotion interact is limited. Here, an online survey was conducted (n = 231) to examine whether uncertainty evokes and modulates a range of negative and positive emotions. The data show that uncertainty is predominantly associated with negative emotional states such as fear/anxiety. However, uncertainty was also found to modulate a variety of other negative (i.e., sadness/upset, anger/frustration, and confusion) and positive (i.e., surprise/interest and excited/enthusiastic) emotional states, depending on the valence of an anticipated outcome (i.e., negative and positive) and the sub parameter of uncertainty (i.e., risk and ambiguity). Uncertainty increased the intensity of negative emotional states and decreased the intensity of positive emotional states. These findings support prior research suggesting that uncertainty is aversive and associated with negative emotional states such as fear and anxiety. However, the findings also revealed that uncertainty is involved in eliciting and modulating a wide array of emotional phenomena beyond fear and anxiety. This study highlights an opportunity for further study of how uncertainty and emotion interactions are conceptualised generally and in relation to mental health.

“…While originally developed for adults, the concept of MHL has since been extended to adolescents ( Morgado et al, 2021a ), as the first onset of many mental disorders usually occurs in childhood or adolescence ( Jorm, 2019 ). MHL has been recognized as an important factor in promoting the youth’s mental health, potentially benefiting both individual and public mental health ( Kutcher et al, 2015 ; Wei et al, 2015 ; Marinucci et al, 2022 ).…”

BackgroundThe positive component of Mental Health Literacy (PMeHL) refers to a person’s awareness of how to achieve and maintain good mental health. Although explored recently, the term still lacks a clear definition among healthcare practitioners.AimTo identify the attributes and characteristics of PMeHL, as well as its theoretical and practical applications.MethodsLiterature search (using the Medline and CINAHL databases) and review, covering the last 21 years, followed by concept analysis according to the steps described by Walker and Avant approach.ResultsPositive component of Mental Health Literacy is considered one component of MHL, integrating positive mental health. The concept’s attributes include: (a) competence in problem-solving and self-actualization; (b) personal satisfaction; (c) autonomy; (d) relatedness and interpersonal relationship skills; (e) self-control; and (f) prosocial attitude. Four case scenarios (model, borderline, related and contrary cases) were used to clarify the antecedents (individual factors and social/contextual factors) and consequences (individual sphere; relational/social sphere; contextual/organizational sphere) of PMeHL.ConclusionPositive component of Mental Health Literacy is considered a component of MHL, which deserves attention throughout the lifespan, in different contexts and intervention levels. Considering PMeHL as a multi-faceted and dynamic construct will help understand the mechanisms that improve mental health and promote healthy behaviors. Priority should be given to robust primary research focused on nursing interventions that enhance and sustain PMeHL in people and families.

“…Psychoeducational interventions combine the elements of cognitive behavior therapy, group therapy, and education and its basic aim is to provide the patient and families knowledge about various facets of the illness and its treatment so that they can work together with mental health professionals for a better overall outcome [ 25 ]. More recently, some authors have reinforced the importance of developing psychoeducational interventions in the health–illness continuum and throughout the life cycle in different contexts [ 26 , 27 ], namely in children and adolescents, their families, and caregivers [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Some authors have assessed the effectiveness of psychoeducational interventions in increasing anxiety mental health literacy [ 26 , 32 , 33 ] and reducing anxiety levels in adolescents [ 34 , 35 ].…”

The Effectiveness of Psychoeducational Interventions in Adolescents’ Anxiety: A Systematic Review Protocol

The COVID-19 pandemic had a strong impact on increasing anxiety in adolescents. This systematic review aims to identify the most effective psychoeducational interventions for reducing anxiety in adolescents following the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The inclusion and exclusion criteria have been defined, and the search strategy has been planned. The search strategy will aim to locate both published and unpublished studies using, among other databases: CINAHL Plus with Full Text; PubMed; the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; and the JBI Database of Systematic Reviews. Following the search, all identified citations will be collated and uploaded into Endnote, and duplicates removed. Titles and abstracts will then be screened by two independent reviewers and by a third reviewer if a disagreement occurs. The results of the search will be reported in full in the final systematic review and presented in the PRISMA flow diagram. Eligible studies will be critically appraised for methodological quality using standardized critical appraisal instruments from the JBI. Data will be extracted from the studies included using the standardized JBI data extraction tool. For data synthesis, studies will be pooled using JBI SUMARI. The GRADE approach for grading the certainty of evidence will be followed, and a summary of findings will be created using GRADEPro GDT software. The results from this systematic review are expected to provide an overview of the most effective psychoeducational interventions for reducing anxiety in adolescents, allowing researchers to design and propose a new multicomponent psychoeducational intervention that will be validated and tested in the future. PROSPERO protocol registration number: CRD42020204356.
