Systematic review and meta-analysis of developmental assets scales: A study protocol for psychometric properties.

Background And Aims: Application of developmental assets, one of existing Positive Youth Development (PYD) frameworks, has gained momentum in research, policy formulations, and interventions, necessitating the introduction of the most efficient scales for this framework. The present study protocol aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of developmental assets scales to document the underlying logic, objectives, and methodologies earmarked for the identification, selection, and critical evaluation of these scales.

Methods And Materials: In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P), the intended search will encompass databases of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, and PsycINFO, spanning from the inception of 1988 to 1st of April 2024.

Construct validity of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) in patients with COVID-19 and its demographic and medical correlates.

Introduction: The present cross sectional study aimed to evaluate the construct and criterion validity, reliability, and gender and age differences of the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in 2020. The criterion validity was assessed its link with perceived stress, sleep quality, daily life activities, and demographic and medical characteristics.

Methods: A total of 328 COVID-19 patients (55.

Dimensions of Identity Development Scale: Confirmatory factor analysis, gender invariance, and external validity of the Persian version.

The present study was conducted to examine the psychometric properties and gender invariance of the Iranian version of the Dimensions of Identity Development Scale (DIDS). A total of 1453 adolescents (50.8% female; 14-18 years old, mean = 15.

The contribution of transdiagnostic vulnerability factors in patients with chronic insomnia.

Introduction: Various transdiagnostic factors have been associated with insomnia severity. The current study aimed to predict insomnia severity based on a group of transdiagnostic factors including neuroticism, emotion regulation, perfectionism, psychological inflexibility, anxiety sensitivity, and repetitive negative thinking after controlling for depression/anxiety symptoms and demographic characteristics.

Methods: Two hundred patients with chronic insomnia disorder were recruited from a sleep disorder clinic.

The relationship of alexithymia to pain and other symptoms in fibromyalgia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background And Objective: People with fibromyalgia (FM) often report having difficulty with emotional identification and expression, and this "alexithymia" may contribute to their pain and other symptoms. Multiple studies have assessed alexithymia in FM, and we systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed this literature to: (a) describe the prevalence of alexithymia in people with FM; (b) compare the level of alexithymia in FM to both healthy controls and controls with other pain conditions; and (c) determine the association of alexithymia to pain intensity, depression, and anxiety in people with FM.

Databases And Data Treatment: Following PRISMA guidelines, we searched multiple databases (Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO and Google Scholar) from inception to May 31, 2022.

Psychopathology and Poor Clinical Insight in Psychotic Patients: Does the Diagnosis Matter?

Poor clinical insight is one of the most common features of schizophrenia spectrum disorders and plays a critical role in prognosis and treatment. Considering the biological and phenomenological overlap between schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder with psychotic features (BID) and increasing incidents of methamphetamine-induced psychotic disorder (MIPD) patients in Iran, it is necessary to have a clear picture of insight among these three groups. The aim of the present study was to compare clinical insight and other aspects of illness among three different disorders: schizophrenia, BID, and MIPD.
