Aim: The aim of this study is to provide conceptual clarity on psychosocial distress among African American and Latine men who have sex with men living with human immunodeficiency virus.
Design: Concept analysis.
Methods: The 8-step Walker and Avant framework guided the concept analysis of psychosocial distress tailored to this patient population.
Data Sources: A literature review was conducted using the research databases PubMed/Medline, PsycINFO, the Cumulated Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature and Scopus with the selected search terms.
Results: A total of 7 articles were retrieved and analysed to explicate the antecedents, attributes, and consequences of psychosocial distress in this population. Four cases were developed to further clarify the concept of psychosocial distress; a model case, borderline case, related case and contrary case.
Conclusion: As experienced by African American and Latine men who have sex with men living with human immunodeficiency virus, psychosocial distress is defined as a state of suffering due to uncontrollable structural and/or social factors that threaten the individual's existence and/or livelihood based on their social identity as a racial/ethnic, sexual minority.
Implications For The Profession And/or Patient Care: The concept analysis of psychosocial distress can be useful to guide future theory and measurement development to enhance disease-specific and general health outcomes for sexual and racial/ethnic minoritised men who have sex with men.
Reporting Method: Not applicable.
Patient Or Public Contribution: No patient or public contribution.

Purpose Of Review: This review aims to analyze the impact of martial arts on youth, addressing the physical and psychosocial benefits, as well as the injury risks associated with increased participation.
Recent Findings: Data from the National Federation of State High School Associations indicates a notable increase in youth participation in martial arts, with a rise of over 13,000 participants from 2018 to 2022. In addition to physical benefits, recent studies highlight that martial arts can significantly enhance mindfulness, reduce stress, and improve self-control, thus diminishing bullying behaviors in school-aged children.
Development of a non-specialist worker delivered psychological intervention to address alcohol use disorders and psychological distress among conflict-affected populations in Uganda and Ukraine.

Background: Despite the significant burden of alcohol use disorders (AUD), there is a large treatment gap, especially in settings and populations affected by armed conflict. A key barrier to care is the lack of contextually relevant interventions and adequately skilled human resources to deliver them. This paper describes the systematic development of the CHANGE intervention, a potentially scalable psychological intervention for people with co-existing AUD and psychological distress in conflict-affected populations, delivered by non-specialist workers (NSWs).

Evidence on the effectiveness and implementation of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions for men in humanitarian settings is limited. Moreover, engagement and retention of men in such interventions has been challenging. Adaptations may therefore be required to improve the appropriateness and acceptability of these interventions for men.
