Mediation analysis results showed that psychological resilience mediated the relationship between perceived social support and employment anxiety for lower employment anxiety. Career adaptability moderated the mediating effect of psychological resilience More >

    Canadian Journal of Urology, Vol.32, No.1, pp. 21-27, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cju.2025.064705 - 20 March 2025

    Abstract Purpose: While the mental health impact of a prostate cancer diagnosis, including low-risk prostate cancer, is well-documented, the effect of pre-existing anxiety and/or depression on adherence to active surveillance protocols in low-risk prostate cancer patients remains unclear. This study assessed the association between prior anxiety and/or depression and active surveillance adherence in men with low-risk prostate cancer. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study involving 426 men diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer who were recommended active surveillance as the primary management strategy. Active surveillance adherence was defined by completion of both a prostate-specific antigen test… More >

    Lingling Yu1,2, Yanxia Chen3,*, Jinming Li2, André O. Werneck4, Fabian Herold5, Alyx Taylor6, Benjamin Tari7, Liye Zou2

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 97-110, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2025.061237 - 03 March 2025

    Abstract Background: Taking actions to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular engagement in physical activity (PA) and reducing sedentary behavior (SB), may protect against the development of internalizing problems among healthy youth. However, it remains unclear whether such associations exist among youth with chronic pain who often report symptoms of depression and anxiety. To this end, we aimed to investigate the associations between independent and combined PA and/or SB patterns with indicators of internalizing problems in this vulnerable population.

    Associations between Rejective Parenting Style and Academic Anxiety among Chinese High School Students: The Chain Mediation Effect of Self-Concept and Positive Coping Style

    Dexian Li1, Wencan Li2, Xin Lin3,*, Xingchen Zhu4,*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.27, No.1, pp. 1-17, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2024.058744 - 31 January 2025

    Abstract Background: The phenomenon of academic anxiety has been demonstrated to exert a considerable influence on students’ academic engagement, leading to the emergence of a phenomenon known as “learned helplessness” and undermining the self-confidence and motivation of high school students. Using acceptance-rejection theory, this study elucidated how a rejective parenting style affects Chinese high school students’ academic anxiety and explored the urban-rural heterogeneity of this relationship. Methods: Data were analyzed using a stratified whole-cluster random sampling method. There are a total of 30,000 high school students in the three regions of northern and central China (from… More >

    Le-Qing Jin1, Chen-Wei Pan1, Chun-Hua Zhao2, Dan-Lin Li1, Yi-Bo Wu3,*, Tian-Yang Zhang1,4,*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.27, No.1, pp. 29-40, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2025.057962 - 31 January 2025

    Abstract Background: Although previous studies indicate that perceived social support might be associated with adolescent psychological problems, the specific mechanism has not been thoroughly discussed. Based on theoretical and empirical research on problematic Internet use (PIU) and sleep quality, this study explored whether they play a mediating role between perceived social support and symptoms of depression and anxiety among adolescents. Furthermore, we investigated whether these relationships varied by place of residence. Methods: A sample of 2115 Chinese adolescents was included, and analyzed data related to perceived social support, PIU, sleep quality, symptoms of depression and anxiety,… More >
