Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated sleep habits of Quebec resident physicians and found that many experience social jetlag, which is the misalignment between required and actual sleep schedules, impacting their health.
  • - An online questionnaire collected data on various factors including sleep duration and disturbances; results showed an average sleep debt of 1.59 hours and significant sleep issues affecting over half the participants.
  • - The findings suggest that severe social jetlag correlates with factors like less physical activity and depressive symptoms, highlighting the need for interventions to support the mental health of resident physicians.

Aim: Medical residency training is associated with a range of sociodemographic, lifestyle and mental health factors that may confer higher risk for psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in residents, yet little research has examined this question. Thus, we aimed to document the prevalence and associated factors of PLEs among resident physicians.

Methods: Physicians enrolled in residency programmes in the Province of Québec, Canada (four universities) were recruited in Fall 2022 via their programme coordinators and social media.

The cognitive mechanisms through which specific life events affect the development and maintenance of eating disorders (ED) have received limited attention in the scientific literature. The present research aims to address this gap by adopting a memory perspective to explore the type of life events associated with eating psychopathology and how these events are encoded and reconstructed as memories. Two studies (n = 208 and n = 193) were conducted to investigate the relationship between specific memories and eating disorder psychopathology.

  • The study examines the link between childhood exposure to urban greenspace and mental health outcomes in adolescents, focusing on a cohort from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Children Development.
  • Researchers measured greenspace using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) at varying distances from participants' homes and evaluated self-reported mental health issues at ages 15/17.
  • Findings indicate that greater greenspace is associated with lower inattention problems in both boys and girls, though other mental health issues showed no similar association and adjustments for various factors only slightly affected the results.

Cultivation of self-care is believed to foster more well-being and to mitigate the psychological difficulties that mental health professionals experience. However, how the well-being and psychological distress of these professionals impact their personal self-care practice is rarely discussed. In fact, studies have yet to investigate whether the use of self-care improves mental health, or whether being in a better place psychologically makes professionals more prone to using self-care (or both).

Background: While walking in nature has been shown to improve affect in adults from the community to a greater extent than walking in urban settings, it is unknown whether such benefits apply to individuals suffering from depression. Using a parallel group design, this randomized controlled trial examined the effects of a single walk in nature versus urban settings on negative and positive affect in adult psychiatric outpatients diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD).

Method: Participants recruited from a psychiatric outpatient clinic for adults with MDD were randomly assigned to a nature or urban walk condition.

Background: Concerns have been raised that the COVID-19 pandemic could increase risk for adverse mental health outcomes, especially in young adults, a vulnerable age group. We investigated changes in depression and anxiety symptoms (overall and severe) from before to during the pandemic, as well as whether these changes are linked to COVID-19-related stressors and pre-existing vulnerabilities in young adults followed in the context of a population-based cohort.

Method: Participants (n = 1039) from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development reported on their depression (Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, short form) and anxiety (General Anxiety Disorder-7 Scale) symptoms and completed a COVID-19 questionnaire during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the summer of 2020 (age 22 years).

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic was characterized by a significant increase in the endorsement of conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories are narratives that can enable and accentuate distrust toward health professionals and authorities. As such, they can lead to violent radicalization and should be considered a public health issue.

Stress and anxiety have been shown to temporally impair executive functions, but the role of other emotions, such as sadness, has been inconclusive. Moreover, the role of affect regulation in this relationship has not been extensively studied. The present research investigated whether certain types of mental states (mental output resulting from the use of affect regulation within a specific context or with respect to a specific material or theme) relative to the context of loss would predict impairment of executive functions.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) and their corresponding N-oxides (PANOs) are natural protoxins biosynthesised by many plant species and are responsible for occasional fatal intoxication outbreaks due to the consumption of contaminated food. However, only in rare cases has the origin of the contamination been determined. Although their presence has been studied in many matrices, occurrence data on popular widely used cooking herbs, seeds, spices and leafy vegetables is very scarce.

In deuterium-tritium cryogenic implosions, hot-spot x-ray self-emission is observed to begin at a larger shell radius than is predicted by a one-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamic implosion model. Laser-imprint is shown to explain the observation for a low-adiabat implosion. For more-stable implosions the data are not described by the imprint model and suggest there are additional sources of decompression of the dense fuel.

We theoretically compute the coupling constant C between two emission modes of an extended cavity laser with a multiple quantum-well active layer. We use an optimized Monte Carlo model based on the Markov chain that describes the elementary events of carriers and photons over time. This model allows us to evaluate the influence on C of the transition from a class A laser to a class B laser and illustrates that the best stability of dual-mode lasers is obtained with the former.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether coherent integration of negative memories into the self could positively predict well-being over time, and whether certain emotion regulation strategies could facilitate this coherent integration. In turn, coherent integration of negative memories was expected to further facilitate adaptive emotion regulation strategies over time.

Method: A total of 303 participants took part in this longitudinal study.

In empirical research, sexual passion has frequently been conceptualized as the interdependent dynamics experienced with a partner and as following a unidimensional continuum of intensity. A recent theoretical model conceptualized sexual passion as an intrapersonal motivation, which can energize both partnered and non-partnered sexual behaviors (Philippe, Vallerand, Bernard-Desrosiers, Guilbault, & Rajotte, 2017). This model also departs from the typical unidimensional continuum by positing the existence of two types of sexual passion: harmonious sexual passion (HSP) and obsessive sexual passion (OSP).
