Study Design: Cross-sectional.

Objective: To investigate the associations of a set of psychosocial resources with pain and pain-related factors in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and chronic pain.

Setting: Community, Switzerland.

Methods: Data from 1,064 individuals with chronic pain who participated in the second community survey of the Swiss Spinal Cord Injury Cohort Study (Survey 2017) were analyzed. Multiple linear regression modeling was performed to test the hypotheses that higher levels of psychosocial resources (self-efficacy, self-esteem, purpose in life, optimism, hope, social support, sense of belonging) are negatively associated with pain intensity, pain interference and depressive symptoms.

Results: Higher self-esteem, optimism and hope were related to less pain interference and all psychosocial resources under study were negatively associated with depressive symptoms in final models. However, neither of the psychosocial resources was related to pain intensity when models were adjusted for pain interference and depressive symptoms.

Conclusions: These findings strengthen the evidence that psychosocial resources can have an impact on pain interference and depressive symptoms as pain-related factors, and support the notion that psychosocial resources might be promising targets for pain interventions in individuals with SCI.

As part of the formative work of the SUCCEED Africa consortium, we followed a participatory process to identify existing gaps and resources needed for the development and implementation of a rights-based intervention for people with lived experience of psychosis in Malawi, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe. In 2021, we conducted a desk review of published and grey literature on psychosis in the four SUCCEED countries. Using an adapted version of the PRIME situation analysis template, data were extracted across the five domains of the WHO Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) Matrix: health, education, livelihoods, social and empowerment.

Molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) presents a multifaceted challenge in pediatric dentistry, impacting diagnostics, clinical management, resource accessibility, and psychosocial care. The condition's complexity is exacerbated by diagnostic variability, overlapping clinical symptoms, and the need for tailored treatment approaches. This study aims to explore the key challenges associated with the management of MIH in pediatric dentistry, including diagnostic precision, clinical management, resource limitations, interdisciplinary care, long-term follow-up, and psychosocial impact, and to propose strategies for overcoming these obstacles.
