Implementing digital mental health interventions at scale: one-year evaluation of a national digital CBT service in Ireland.

Background: In recent years, exponential growth in digital innovations and internet access has provided opportunities to deliver health services at a much greater scale than previously possible. Evidence-based technology-enabled interventions can provide cost-effective, accessible, and resource-efficient solutions for addressing mental health issues. This study evaluated the first year of a supported digital cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) service provided by the national health service in Ireland, which has been accessible to individuals who receive a referral from one of five referring groups: General Practitioners, Primary Care Psychology, Counselling Primary Care, Community Mental Health, and Jigsaw (a nationwide youth mental health service).

The Subjective Impact and Timing of Adversity Scale: A Feasibility Study Using Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Data.

This study assessed the feasibility of a multi-domain measure of the occurrence, impact, and timing of childhood/adolescent psychological adversity exposure, the Subjective Impact and Timing of Adversity Scale (SITA). Participants were from among those who had previously participated in two waves of data collection when aged approximately 14 and 21 years. Internal consistency estimates at both online and interview stages were acceptable for all SITA domains (with the exception of parental loss).

Childhood trauma and adult mental disorder: A systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal cohort studies.

Objective: To systematically review evidence for the association between trauma experienced in childhood or adolescence, and the subsequent experience of affective or psychotic mental disorders in adulthood.

Methods: Electronic databases (Scopus, Medline (for Ovid), EMBASE and PsychINFO) were searched for peer-reviewed, longitudinal cohort studies in the English language examining child or adolescent exposure to trauma, and adult-diagnosed depression, anxiety, psychotic disorder or bipolar disorder. A total of 23 manuscripts were retained.

Young People's Online Help-Seeking and Mental Health Difficulties: Systematic Narrative Review.

Background: Young people frequently make use of the internet as part of their day-to-day activities, and this has extended to their help-seeking behavior. Offline help-seeking is known to be impeded by a number of barriers including stigma and a preference for self-reliance. Online help-seeking may offer an additional domain where young people can seek help for mental health difficulties without being encumbered by these same barriers.

Young People Seeking Help Online for Mental Health: Cross-Sectional Survey Study.

Background: Young people are particularly vulnerable to experiencing mental health difficulties, but very few seek treatment or help during this time. Online help-seeking may offer an additional domain where young people can seek aid for mental health difficulties, yet our current understanding of how young people seek help online is limited.

Objective: This was an exploratory study which aimed to investigate the online help-seeking behaviors and preferences of young people.

Incivility in nursing education: A systematic literature review.

Incivility has been investigated worldwide in various settings including non-health and health care settings. However, it has become a growing concern in higher education including nurse education. This is particularly disconcerting since it is concerned with developing a caring profession.

Bridging the digital disconnect: Exploring the views of professionals on using technology to promote young people's mental health.

The increasing role of online technologies in young people's lives has significant implications for professionals' engagement with technologies to promote youth mental health and well-being. However, relatively little is known about professionals' views on the role of technologies in supporting youth mental health. This article outlines key findings from a needs assessment survey carried out in Ireland that sought to determine the views of professionals working with young people on the use of online technologies in supporting young people's mental health and well-being.

Perceived uncivil behaviour in Indonesian nursing education.

Uncivil behaviour is a phenomenon that has attracted a growing number of investigations, particularly in Western based nurse education. Unlike the West, uncivil behaviour is a relatively new field of study to Indonesia. However, with the incidence of incivility becoming a growing problem within Indonesian nurse education it is one that warrants investigation.

Reflexivity and habitus: opportunities and constraints on transformative learning.

This paper will explore the relationship between Mezirow's concept of reflexivity and Bourdieu's theory of habitus in order to develop a more robust framework within which critical reflection can take place. Nurse educators have sought to close the theory practice gap through the use of critical reflection. However, we are not convinced that this has produced the depth and quality of reflection required.

Crisis? What crisis?

The fact that 50% of the 4600 hours that constitute a pre-registration nursing programme takes place in the practice setting, means that there is considerable reliance on mentors and other clinicians to support and teach students. Clinical experience is vital if student nurses are to implement the theory they have learnt in the classroom and become competent and safe practitioners (Panther, 2008). There is, therefore, a need for high-quality clinical learning environments which both provide students with the support they need and measure their clinical competence.

Empowerment and its application in health promotion in acute care settings: nurses' perceptions.

Background: Empowerment has long been a central tenet of health promotion theory. Globally, governments have advocated the use of empowerment in their public health policies. Nurses are seen as essential in the delivery of this agenda using the empowerment model to engage patients in self-care and decision-making.

A discourse and Foucauldian analysis of nurses health beliefs: implications for nurse education.

Aims Of Study: The aim of this study was to investigate nurses' constructions of health in order to determine what influence these have on their health education practices and their implications for nurse education.

Background: Burgeoning literature on health promotion claim that health promotion is central to nursing practice. This is a role that has grown in the context of a rapidly ageing population, emergence of new diseases and variants of old diseases, ecological and environmental concerns and apparent social fragmentation.
