Objectives: Higher education students in Germany are vulnerable to depressive symptoms. Despite ample evidence, no comprehensive review has recently been conducted. Thus, our systematic review and meta-analysis aims at describing the extent to which students are affected by depressive symptoms.

Migraine self-management at work: a qualitative study.

Background: Migraine is common and can be highly disabling. Adequate migraine self-management (SM) can mitigate the potentially adverse health effects of migraine. However, adequate SM can be challenging to implement in everyday life, for instance, at the workplace.

Mental health among adolescents exposed to social inequality in Latin America and the Caribbean: a scoping review.

Background And Objective: Adolescents from Latin America and the Caribbean grow up in a context of social inequality, which diminishes their well-being and leads to impaired emotional-cognitive development. To understand the problem, it is important to synthesize the available research about it. This study aims to explore the knowledge about adolescents' mental health in Latin America and the Caribbean exposed to social inequality.

Can an educational intervention in the context of inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation improve asthma self-management at work? A study protocol of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Asthma self-management (e.g., trigger avoidance or correct medication use) is a cornerstone of therapy.

Associations of loneliness with mental health and with social and physical activity among university students in Germany: results of the COVID-19 German student well-being study (C19 GSWS).

Introduction: University students are at high risk for loneliness with a potential negative impact on health. The COVID-19 measures disrupted students' academic routine and social life, which might have affected their perception of loneliness. This study investigated the prevalence of perceived loneliness among university students in Germany during the COVID-19 pandemic and its associations with mental health, behavioral outcomes, and sociodemographic characteristics.

LGBTQIA+ Adolescents' Perceptions of Gender Tailoring and Portrayal in a Virtual-Reality-Based Alcohol-Prevention Tool: A Qualitative Interview Study and Thematic Analysis.

Gender-sensitive interventions in alcohol-prevention that target adolescents often lead to binary tailoring for girls and boys. However, increased societal and legal recognition of sexual and gender minorities as well as research with this age group demand a broader understanding of gender. Therefore, the present study addresses the question of how interventions should be further developed to include sexual and gender diversity by exploring LGBTQIA+ adolescents' perceptions of gender portrayal and gender-tailoring using -a virtual-reality simulation for training refusal skills under peer pressure to consume alcohol.

COVID-19 related disruption in higher education students' health and wellbeing: Implications for university action.

The COVID 19 pandemic has led to substantial disruptions in the lives of students in higher education. Partial or full closures of institutions for face-to-face teaching or consultations over a long-lasting period of time in many countries have had significant consequences on the psychosocial health and wellbeing of many students. This perspectives article summarizes the implications on mental, social, and behavioral aspects of students' wellbeing.

Correlates of turnover intention among nursing staff in the COVID-19 pandemic: a systematic review.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, shortage of nursing staff became even more evident. Nurses experienced great strain, putting them at risk to leave their jobs. Individual and organizational factors were known to be associated with nurses' turnover intention before the pandemic.

When in Doubt … Career Indecision, Mental Wellbeing, and Consultation-Seeking Behaviour-A Qualitative Interview Study among Students and Counsellors.

University dropout is often preceded by a phase of doubt whether to continue studying, either in general or just the given subject. Mental health problems might be interrelated with this phase of doubt. Counselling services at German universities could provide help, but do not seem to reach students in need.

Critical Health Literacy in a Pandemic: A Cluster Analysis Among German University Students.

In the COVID-19 pandemic, critical health literacy (CHL-P) has been proposed as a means of addressing issues of complexity, uncertainty, and urgency. Our study aimed to identify CHL-P clusters among university students in Germany and to analyze associations with potential determinants. In May 2020, students at four German universities participated in the COVID-19 International Student Well-Being Study, an online survey that yielded a non-probabilistic sample of N = 5,021.

Asthma self-management at work, asthma morbidity, and the subjective prognosis of gainful employment - the role of work engagement and overcommitment: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: Work engagement is considered a constructive and satisfying state of mind promoting well-being, whereas overcommitment contributes to ill-health. We investigated if these psychosocial factors are related to asthma self-management at the workplace (i.e.

Psychosocial working conditions and the subjective prognosis of gainful employment among employees with asthma: a cross-sectional study.

Purpose: The present study set out to examine whether low job decision latitude (JDL, i.e., limited work autonomy) and low social support at work are related to a poor subjective prognosis of gainful employment (SPE) among working rehabilitants with asthma.

General practitioner visits and physical activity with asthma-the role of job decision authority: a cross-sectional study.

Purpose: Psychosocial working conditions-in terms of job decision authority, among others-may influence asthma self-management at work and in leisure time, as recent qualitative research has shown. We sought to statistically investigate potential relationships between job decision authority and two types of self-management behaviours: physical activity (PA) and visits to the general practitioner (GP).

Methods: We combined data from waves 1 and 2 of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) for cross-sectional analyses.

Psychosocial working conditions, asthma self-management at work and asthma morbidity: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Adverse psychosocial working conditions-in particular poor job decision latitude and poor social support at work-may impair the effective implementation of asthma self-management behaviour at work and may be associated with increased asthma morbidity. In this study, we investigate for the first time the association of job decision latitude and social support at work with (1) four asthma-specific self-management behaviours at work (i.e.

What are the perceived influences on asthma self-management at the workplace? A qualitative study.

Objectives: Asthma can represent a substantial challenge to the affected individual, but is usually well controlled by adequate asthma self-management behaviour (SMB). Asthma SMB comprises symptom prevention, symptom monitoring, acute symptom management and communication with important others. The implementation of asthma SMB seems to depend on contextual factors.

Psychosocial working conditions as determinants of asthma self-management at work: A systematic review.

Objective: Asthma exerts a considerable impact on patients and their employers. While adequate self-management is able to improve patients' prognosis, its actual implementation in everyday life may depend on contextual factors. We aimed to review the literature on the potential determinants of asthma self-management at the workplace.
