Article Abstract
Purpose: Mental wellbeing and life satisfaction play an important role in the development of adolescents, yet factors potentially influencing these states have not been sufficiently studied, especially in Vietnam. This study aims to fill the research gaps by exploring the associations of the parent-child relationship, self-esteem, and resilience on the mental wellbeing and satisfaction with life of adolescents.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to July 2020 on 1,023 adolescents from 10 to 18 years old living in Vietnam. To assess the satisfaction with life as well as the mental wellbeing of participants, this study used the Satisfaction with life and The World Health Organization-Five Wellbeing Index scale.
Results: More than 70% of participants reported having conflicts with their parents (74.6% of those conflicted with their father ad 73.9% of those conflicted with their mother), while 26.3% stated dissatisfaction with life. The mean score of mental wellbeing was 61.5 (SD = 23.0). Higher academic performance, self-esteem, resilience, encounter loneliness and isolation within own family, and having support and sharing from family members had a positive effect on life satisfaction and mental wellbeing. Female participants had higher satisfaction with life score (Coef = 0.77; 95%CI = 0.10; 1.44) but they had a lower mental wellbeing score (Coef = -6.00; 95%CI = -8.57; -3.44) than male participants. High school students had lower both satisfaction with life and mental wellbeing scores than secondary students.
Conclusion: The results highlight the importance of being aware of the influence that expectations (of higher grades) and bias (toward male children) imposed by parents, teachers, and society on the mental wellbeing of youths, especially in Asian cultures. Strengthening the family bond and encouraging young people to share their feeling is also crucial to enhancing the mental health condition of adolescents.

The true cost of the white coat: How academic medicine's definition of success silences authenticity and compounds trauma in medical training.

The author examines the impact of academic medicine's rigid definition of success on the authenticity and well-being of medical students. Through a reflective analysis grounded in personal experience, the author highlights the discrepancy between institutional success metrics-such as perfect grades, prestigious publications, and competitive research grants-and the value of community advocacy, health equity work, and authentic expression. The narrative illustrates how success in medical education often adheres to an unspoken curriculum, promoting assimilation over inclusion and forcing students to choose between authenticity and conformity to advance in their careers.

Racialized exposure to multiple COVID-19 deaths and their consequences for mental health.

COVID-19 unleashed a bereavement crisis on a scale unseen in over a century. While evidence suggests COVID-19 deaths are acutely damaging to well-being, it is unclear how multiple losses affect mental health, whether there are ethnoracial differences in cumulative loss, or if the association between multiple COVID-related deaths and psychological distress varies by race-ethnicity. Using national survey data (n = 1810) collected following the Omicron surge in the United States, we estimate a series of regression models to assess the association between multiple COVID-19 losses and psychological distress, racial-ethnic differences in aggregate death exposure, and differential vulnerability to multiple losses across racial-ethnic groups.
