Bridging the gap in mental health literacy: co-adapting and feasibility testing a digital intervention to improve mental health literacy amongst young people aged 12-14 in the UK.

Background: Digital interventions have shown promise in enhancing mental health literacy among young people (YP). Initially developed in Indonesia, the Improving Mental Health Literacy Among Young People in Indonesia (IMPeTUs) intervention is a co-produced digital application designed to improve mental health literacy and self-management of anxiety and depression in YP. This study aimed to co-adapt the IMPeTUs intervention with YP in the UK and evaluate the feasibility of conducting a future definitive trial in education and community settings.

Association of childhood socioeconomic status and health with depressive symptoms in later life: a cross-sectional latent class analysis of the 2014/2015 Indonesia Family Life Survey.

Objectives: While childhood circumstances predict mental health outcomes in high-income countries, evidence from low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) like Indonesia remains scarce. This study examines the long-term association between childhood socioeconomic status (SES), health and depressive symptoms in adulthood, testing the hypothesis that early-life disadvantages increase the odds of depressive symptoms later in life.

Design: Cross-sectional analysis using latent class analysis to cluster childhood SES/health and logistic regression to assess associations with depressive symptoms.

My Story and Me: a narrative study of young women and girls' stories of their mental health and associated support.

Background: Recent data in England show rising levels of mental health difficulties among young women, as compared to young men. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the lived experiences of young women and girls (across different ethnic groups, who are neurodivergent, and/or who identify with the LGBTQIA + community) in the UK about their mental health and associated support.

Method: Narrative interviews were conducted with 29 young women and girls aged 14 to 24 years.

Exploring the mediating role of depression and anxiety in the relationship between social and biological factors and quality of life in Indonesia: a structural equation modelling approach.

Objectives: To examine the association between social and biological factors and quality of life (QoL), and whether depression and anxiety mediate this relationship.

Design: Cross-sectional study with individual level as the unit of analysis.

Main Outcome Measures: Depression and anxiety were measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Short Depression scale and Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale, while QoL was assessed using the EuroQol Five-Dimension scale.

Association between climate related hazards and depression among coastal communities in Indonesia.

Climate change has a profound impact on the mental health and well-being of people all over the world. However, studies on the impacts of climate-driven rising sea levels on mental health remain few. This study aims to examine the risk of depression among people who live in coastal areas susceptible to the natural hazards associated with climate change.

The impacts of antipsychotic medications on eating-related outcomes: A mixed methods systematic review.

Background: Almost all antipsychotics are associated with weight gain. Given the gravity of this side-effect and its consequences, it is imperative to understand the mechanisms involved. One mechanism that could contribute to this side effect is the impact of antipsychotics on eating-related outcomes.

The impact of social support on university students living with mental illness: a systematic review and narrative synthesis.

Background: Limited reviews address the role of social support for university students with mental health issues, despite its proven significance for other vulnerable groups.

Aims: The current review aims to examine the current evidence on the nature and impact of social support for students with self-reported and diagnosed mental health problems, along with the availability and effectiveness of social support interventions.

Methods: Electronic databases (CENTRAL, CINAHL, Embase, HMIC, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, SCOPUS, Web of Science) and grey literature databases (EThOS, SSRN) were systematically searched from inception to March 2024 Articles were eligible for inclusion if they reported on the nature and role of social support for university students with mental health problems.

Conceptualizing the social networks of children of parents with serious mental illness: a thematic analysis.

Aims: Social networks, defined as the set of active and significant ties surrounding an individual, influence the wellbeing of vulnerable children. The best evidenced mechanism through which this occurs is where networks act as a vehicle to access social support. Little is known about the content and function of social networks of children of parents with severe and enduring mental illness (COPMI).

De-escalating aggression in acute inpatient mental health settings: a behaviour change theory-informed, secondary qualitative analysis of staff and patient perspectives.

Background: De-escalation is often advocated to reduce harm associated with violence and use of restrictive interventions, but there is insufficient understanding of factors that influence de-escalation behaviour in practice. For the first time, using behaviour change and implementation science methodology, this paper aims to identify the drivers that will enhance de-escalation in acute inpatient and psychiatric intensive care mental health settings.

Methods: Secondary analysis of 46 qualitative interviews with ward staff (n = 20) and patients (n = 26) informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework.

Gender, marginalised groups, and young people's mental health: a longitudinal analysis of trajectories.

Background: Individuals from marginalised groups experience higher levels of mental health difficulties and lower levels of wellbeing which may be due to the exposure to stress and adversity. This study explores trajectories of mental health over time for young women and girls and young people with other marginalised identities.

Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis on N = 14,215 children and young people (7,501 or 52.

Development and evaluation of a de-escalation training intervention in adult acute and forensic units: the EDITION systematic review and feasibility trial.

Background: Containment (e.g. physical restraint and seclusion) is used frequently in mental health inpatient settings.

Stakeholder perspectives of family interventions for schizophrenia in Indonesia: a qualitative study.

Mental illnesses comprise the single largest source of health-related economic burden globally and low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately affected. Many individuals with schizophrenia do not receive evidence-based, psychosocial interventions as these are largely unavailable, undeveloped, and under-researched in LMICs. Involving service-users and carers in the design of interventions is crucial to ensure stakeholder needs are adequately addressed by the intervention and to aid successful implementation.

An exploration of the Indonesian lay mental health workers' (cadres) experiences in performing their roles in community mental health services: a qualitative study.

Background: Volunteers trained to support community mental health programs in Indonesia are known as 'mental health cadres.' These are lay people trained to provide basic support for people with mental illness in their local communities. The role of cadres in community mental health services is to provide health promotion activities and support for people with mental illness, such as home visits and family assistance.

Lay community mental health workers (cadres) in Indonesian health services: A qualitative exploration of the views of people with mental health problems and their families.

Introduction: In community-based mental health services, lay workers recruited and trained to support mental health programs, known as mental health cadres, have an important role in supporting the care of families and people with mental disorders. This study aims to explore the experiences of people with mental disorders and their families about the role of mental health cadres in improving mental health and caring for people with mental disorders.

Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive design for data gathering.

"Beyond laughter": a systematic review to understand how interventions utilise comedy for individuals experiencing mental health problems.

Introduction: There is evidence for the impact of comedy and humour for mental health and wellbeing. Existing systematic reviews have concluded laughter has a positive impact on wellbeing, however other potential benefits of comedy interventions have remained under explored. The aim of the current study was to synthesise current evidence for comedy/humour interventions and evaluate mechanisms through which comedy interventions may impact upon the recovery of those experiencing psychological distress, using the Connectedness, Hope, Identity, Meaning and Purpose and Empowerment (CHIME) framework.

Detection of genomic mutations in blood and urine free circulating tumour DNA in patients with inoperable and metastatic lung adenocarcinoma harbouring an mutation in tissue: a UK pilot study.

The development of methodologies to analyse circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in the blood or urine of cancer patients provides an invaluable resource that can be used for diagnosis and prognosis and to evaluate response to treatments. Lung cancer has seen in the last years a revolution in treatment strategy with the use of several classes of EGFR inhibitors. However, almost invariably, resistance to such therapies appears.

Biological-physical interactions are fundamental to understanding and managing coastal dynamics.

There is an urgent need to address coastal dynamics as a fundamental interaction between physical and biological processes, particularly when trying to predict future biological-physical linkages under anticipated changes in environmental forcing. More integrated modelling, support for observational networks and the use of management interventions as controlled experimental exercises should now be vigorously pursued.

Exploring the use of social network interventions for adults with mental health difficulties: a systematic review and narrative synthesis.

Background: People with mental health difficulties often experience social isolation. The importance of interventions to enhance social networks and reduce this isolation is increasingly being recognised. However, the literature has not yet been systematically reviewed with regards to how these are best used.

Enhancing the quality of psychological interventions delivered by telephone in mental health services: increasing the likelihood of successful implementation using a theory of change.

Background: The implementation of new and complex interventions in mental health settings can be challenging. This paper explores the use of a Theory of Change (ToC) for intervention design and evaluation to increase the likelihood of complex interventions being effective, sustainable, and scalable. Our intervention was developed to enhance the quality of psychological interventions delivered by telephone in primary care mental health services.

Culturally adapted family intervention for people with schizophrenia in Indonesia (FUSION): a development and feasibility study protocol.

Background: Mental illnesses comprise the single largest source of health-related economic burden globally, and low- and middle-income countries are disproportionately affected. The majority of people with schizophrenia who need treatment do not receive it and are often wholly reliant on family caregivers for daily care and support. Family interventions have an exceptionally robust evidence base for their efficacy in high-resource settings, but it is unknown whether they can produce equivalent effects in some low-resource settings where cultural beliefs, explanatory models of illness and contextual socio-economic issues differ.
