“…Cognitive fusion has shown itself to be a meaningful predictor of a wide range of anxiety and related symptoms, including trait anxiety (Bardeen & Fergus, 2016; Gillanders et al, 2014), social anxiety (Soltani et al, 2018), health anxiety (Fergus, 2015), posttraumatic stress (PTS) (Bardeen & Fergus, 2016), and obsessive‐compulsive symptoms (Hellberg et al, 2020; Reuman et al, 2016). Moreover, cognitive fusion has been shown to predict anxiety above and beyond key risk factors such as negative affect, experiential avoidance, and anxiety sensitivity (Fergus, 2015).…”

Objectives Mental contamination and cognitive fusion have been identified as risk factors for anxiety. The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effect of cognitive fusion on the relationship between mental contamination and anxiety. Method Participants (N = 504 community adults), recruited via Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk), completed measures of mental contamination, cognitive fusion, and anxiety. Results Results from a regression analysis showed that the interaction between mental contamination and cognitive fusion predicted anxiety (β = 0.15, p < 0.001). Simple slopes analysis revealed a positive association between mental contamination and anxiety that was significant at higher (β = 0.25, p < 0.001), but not lower (β = 0.01, p = 0.88), levels of cognitive fusion. Conclusion The development of risk profiles that incorporate mental contamination and cognitive fusion may be beneficial for early identification of individuals at high risk for anxiety.

Background: The internet is essential for social interaction, information acquisition, and entertainment. The internet has a vast amount of knowledge that is accessible with only a click. For a student of today, it is horrifying to consider academic or research activity without internet. However, the indiscriminate use of the internet by individuals, especially students, may hamper their academic performance and quality of life. This study aimed to measure the extent of internet use among undergraduate medical students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed among 926 undergraduate medical students and interns from nine medical colleges of Bangladesh, who were selected using the convenience sampling method. The extent of internet use was assessed by the duration of internet use for academic and non-academic purposes, as well as the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) developed by Kimberly Young. Results: This study revealed that the mean (SD) hours of internet use for academic purposes, non-academic purposes and total duration of internet use were 2.34 (±1.991), 3.74 (±2.413) and 6.08 (±3.124 respectively. Additionally, 39.3%, 33%, and 2.3% of students had mild, moderate, and severe levels of internet addiction, respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that a substantial proportion of undergraduate medical students are spending a considerable amount of time on the internet, with a majority using it for more than 3 hours per day on average. Moreover, a significant portion of these students demonstrated varying levels of internet addiction. BJME, Volume-15, Issue-01, January 2024: 12-24

“…Living a valued life is critical to good mental health [42]. Acceptance and cognitive defusion are two basic psychological processes, and low levels of acceptance and cognitive defusion are associated with mental disorders [3,41]. Evidence suggests that PF is associated with psychological functioning and mental health [8].…”

The left-behind experience as an adverse childhood experience has a negative impact on the mental health of university students. Psychological inflexibility mediated the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and mental disorders, but no similar findings were drawn in psychological flexibility (PF). More research is needed to understand the relationship between PF and mental health of university students with left-behind experience. To investigate the relationship between PF profiles and mental health and sleep quality of university students with left-behind experience based on latent profile analysis. A sample of 1988 Chinese university students with left-behind experience were recruited to complete an online survey. Participants provided demographic information and completed validated measures of PF and mental health. Latent profile analysis was used to identify patterns of PF, and logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relationships among these variables. We found four PF profiles among participants, with the largest number being the moderately flexible profile (n = 808, 40.6%). The level of PF was positively correlated with mental health and sleep quality (all P < 0.001). Females, being left behind at a young age and for a long time, and having little contact with parents were associated with low PF (all P < 0.05). Our study highlights the importance of focusing on the PF of university students with left-behind experience and left-behind children, and the need for interventions to improve their PF and thus their mental health.
