Summary: Caregivers in Nigeria were generally willing to use accessible outpatient CAP services, with their decisions not influenced by recognition of CAMH conditions, life stressors, caregiver wellness, or stigma. Beliefs about the etiology and treatment effectiveness of CAMH conditions shaped their help-seeking decisions and views on CAP services.

Summary: This study aims to identify factors that predict contact with outpatient mental healthcare services (OPMH) among individuals who have been diagnosed with a mental health problem in primary healthcare services (PHC), with a special focus on migrants. The study found that migrants from Nordic countries, Western Europe, and the Middle-East/North Africa had a higher risk of using OPMH services compared to the majority population, while migrants from EU Eastern Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia had a lower risk. Men had a higher risk than women, and there were differences in the relationship between predisposing factors and OPMH use among some migrant groups.

Summary: This cross-sectional study assessed the coping mechanisms, quality of life, and anxiety levels of 1586 adult Romanian residents in response to the psychological trauma associated with the Russo-Ukrainian war. The results showed that focusing on and venting emotions, as well as behavioral disengagement, had the strongest negative impact on anxiety and well-being. On the other hand, positive reinterpretation and growth were associated with less anxiety, better overall health, and higher quality of life.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the potential deteriorations in mental health and well-being in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, specifically focusing on vulnerable subgroups. The analysis of secondary longitudinal survey data revealed a decline in mental health-related quality of life in 2020 compared to previous years. However, there was no significant change in life satisfaction during the same period. The results for vulnerability factors, such as age and parenthood, partially aligned with expectations. Overall, there was no substantial breakdown in mental health or subjective well-being in the German population or its subgroups during the first year of the pandemic, suggesting the need for further investigation.

Summary: The study found that during the state of emergency in Portugal, depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms appeared to improve gradually, while the perception of quality of life and sleep worsened. Being female, younger, actively working, and extroverted seemed to be protective factors for mental health adaptability during this period, while having a psychiatric diagnosis or physical illness, and higher neuroticism seemed to be risk factors for mental health deterioration.

Summary: The study revealed that nurses' perceptions of caring for patients with IDD can be understood through the lens of being held hostage in the context of care, depending on intuition and proven experience for care, and contending for the patients' right to adequate care. Nurses felt that the home-care context and organization were not adjusted to the needs of the patients, leading to a disconnect in providing care based on their professional values.
