In order to solve the problem of more and more vicious events caused by college students“ mental ill-health, a research method of health education knowledge service information system model based on virtual reality is proposed. The platform development approach is based on virtual reality to provide technical support to the process of acquiring, maintaining, pushing, applying, and updating the knowledge of mental health education for college students. The system includes a knowledge base for storing college students’ mental health education knowledge, tools for supporting acquisition, classification, editing, and storage of knowledge, and tools for knowledge sharing, application, and innovation of teachers and experts engaged in college students’ mental health education. The results are as follows: after using this system, the proportion of students with excellent mental health status in a university has increased significantly, reaching 75%, and the proportion of students with poor health status has decreased from 15% to 7%. The mental health knowledge sharing platform designed in this paper has obtained satisfactory evaluation in the trial universities, accounting for 68% of the trial population. The system presented in this article demonstrates that the system can significantly improve the mental health of college students, and the system outlined in this document is important for improving the efficiency and quality of mental health education for college students and for effectively managing educational knowledge.

“…Some studies have pointed out that the happiness index of middle-class families is significantly higher than that of low-income families [22,23]. The decline of income will affect the mental health of any group [24,25]. People with low economic ability are more likely to suffer from mental disorders, leading to events such as suicide [24,25].…”

Objective: To understand the family function, psychological status, and inﬂuencing factors of the family members of the frontline medical staff ﬁghting COVID-19. Methods: A psychological questionnaire survey was conducted on the families of 189 clinical front line medical staff who participated in the ﬁght against COVID-19 by using the general information questionnaire, the fam- ily care index scale (APGAR), the generalized anxiety scale (GAD-7), and the depression screening scale (PHQ-9), and the inﬂuencing factors were analyzed. Results: The score of family function was 7.00 (5.00, 10.00), 105 individuals (55.6%) had good family function, 72 individuals (38.1%) had moderate family dysfunction, and 12 of them (6.3%) had severe family dysfunction. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, age, educational background, working status during the epidemic, and anxiety level were the inﬂuencing factors of the family function status of frontline medical staff (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The family function of the medical staff participating in the clinical frontline ﬁght against COVID-19 is at a medium level. Gender, age, educational background, working status during the epidemic, and anxiety level are the inﬂuencing factors of the family function status of this group. The family members of medical personnel have a certain extent of anxiety and depression, so the nursing manager should improve the family function and relieve them of anxiety and depression through psychological counseling and humanistic care, so as to improve their family function.

“…The link between inequality and mental health is well-documented (Mangalore et al, 2007 ; Rao et al, 2012 ; Patel, 2020 ). However, the precise mechanisms mediating the interaction between gender, identity, economic inequality and poor mental health are uncertain.…”

Testing hypotheses about the harm that capitalism causes to the mind and brain: a theoretical framework for neuroscience research

et al. 2023

In this paper, we will attempt to outline the key ideas of a theoretical framework for neuroscience research that reflects critically on the neoliberal capitalist context. We argue that neuroscience can and should illuminate the effects of neoliberal capitalism on the brains and minds of the population living under such socioeconomic systems. Firstly, we review the available empirical research indicating that the socio-economic environment is harmful to minds and brains. We, then, describe the effects of the capitalist context on neuroscience itself by presenting how it has been influenced historically. In order to set out a theoretical framework that can generate neuroscientific hypotheses with regards to the effects of the capitalist context on brains and minds, we suggest a categorization of the effects, namely deprivation, isolation and intersectional effects. We also argue in favor of a neurodiversity perspective [as opposed to the dominant model of conceptualizing neural (mal-)functioning] and for a perspective that takes into account brain plasticity and potential for change and adaptation. Lastly, we discuss the specific needs for future research as well as a frame for post-capitalist research.
