“…A possible reason is that most of these experiments were conducted using a mixed design, with comparisons between experiment and control groups and within the experiment groups. Studies may have reported isolated pronounced effects between the experiment and control group or within the experiment groups, whereas the interaction was not significant [28] or not reported [9,13,25,26,29,30]. Only one study reported no effect at all [27].…”

“…As shown in Table 2, 15 RCT studies with sufficient data were included. Among these studies, 14 obtained anxiety measurements, including social anxiety disorder [14,25,26] and GAD [10,13,[27][28][29][30][31][32], and 4 studies obtained panic measurements [10,[31][32][33]. There were 994 participants included in total, and 478 and 354 participants were allocated in the intervention and control groups, respectively.…”

Physical activity is believed to promote mental health. However, research has not yet reached a consensus on whether physical activity declines panic and anxiety symptoms in children, adolescents, and early adulthoods. The current chapter carried out a meta-analysis to investigate the association between physical activity and panic/anxiety based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Search is conducted on 22nd April 2022, which follow databases: MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and SPORTDiscus. Fifteen articles (N = 994) were identified and included, where four studies reported measurement in panic symptoms and fourteen studies reported measurement in anxiety symptoms. The meta-analysis among the pooled effect sizes demonstrated a small significant effect of physical activity intervention reducing panic disorder (d = −. 45, SE = .12, Z = −3.65, p < .001) and a middle effect reducing anxiety (d = −.51, SE = .15, Z = −3.38, p < .001) in children, adolescents and early adulthoods. Age or gender ratio was not found to be significant in predicting the effect sizes. More evidence is required to produce a solid conclusion.

“… 54 A recent study on children showed the effect of physical exercise on reducing anxiety among victims of ET. 55 However, no studies have been performed on anxiety-reducing treatment for adult victims of ET with accompanying suicidality. An evidence-based modality of treatment of anxiety symptoms, whether pharmacological or psychosocial, would be recommended until further evidence accumulates.…”

Early Trauma and Relationships among Recent Stress, Depressive Symptoms, Anxiety Symptoms, and Suicidal Ideation in Korean Women

et al. 2021

Background Evidence continues to accumulate that the presence or absence of early trauma (ET) implies unique characteristics in the relationships between suicidal ideation and its risk factors. We examined the relationships among recent stress, depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and suicidal ideation in Korean suicidal women with or without such a history. Methods Using data on suicidal adult females, 217 victims and 134 non-victims of ET, from the Korean Cohort for the Model Predicting a Suicide and Suicide-related Behavior, we performed structural equation modeling to investigate the contribution of recent stress, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms on suicidal ideation within each group according to the presence or absence of a history of ET. Results Structural equation modeling with anxiety and depressive symptoms as potential mediators showed a good fit. Recent stress had a direct effect on both depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms in both groups. Only anxiety symptoms for victims of ET (standardized regression weight, 0.281; P = 0.005) and depressive symptoms for non-victims of ET (standardized regression weight, 0.326; P = 0.003) were full mediators that increased suicidal ideation. Thus, stress contributed to suicidal ideation by increasing the level of anxiety and depressive symptoms for victims and non-victims, respectively. Conclusion Tailored strategies to reduce suicidal ideation should be implemented according to group type, victims or non-victims of ET. Beyond educating suicidal women in stress-management techniques, it would be effective to decrease anxiety symptoms for those with a history of ET and decrease depressive symptoms for those without such a history.

“…According to Article 1 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), “a child refers to every human being below the age of eighteen years, unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier.” Annually, millions of children all over the world are abused physically, sexually, emotionally and economically (Naderi et al , 2019).…”

“…However, in crime-committing societies, there is a high rise in statistics on child abuse. Societies having organized violence such as war, various social harms, and social inequalities, as well as societies in which violence is acceptable at the level of society, media, and communications, and there are no particular and effective regulations on defending the rights of children, the rate of child abuse is extremely higher than those having lower rates of violence (Naderi et al , 2019). According to the report published by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in November 2017, which is entitled “A FAMILIAR FACE: Violence in the lives of children and adolescents,” millions of children were exposed to physical violence and sexual abuse.…”

Purpose The reduction of the violence and child abuse requires the cooperation of national and international health-related organizations. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of NGOs in health and peace development through administrating supportive programs for child abuse and violence victims. Design/methodology/approach The present research was a mixed method research, and the type of research was a descriptive-analytic study. To collect data, library and field methods were used. The research sample included 137 staff members of the NGOs supporting children in Tehran. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. Findings According to authorities and members of the NGOs supporting children, networking and affective factors played a significant role in the development of health and peace (P<0.01). This was feasible by controlling the factors affecting violence and child abuse. Practical implications Given the fact that NGOs are contributing to the development and establishment of peace through effective participation and networking, trying to support the victims of child abuse and violence, the need for more attention from governments is recommended in order to support these organizations, especially legislative and financial support is needed to expand the activities of such organizations. Originality/value This paper is original in its method, topic and findings. The first is mixed method research, which has studied the role of networking of NGOs for peace development through implementing support programs for victims of child abuse and violence.
