This article offers 10 tips from parents to help other parents learn how to make a difference in their child's education.

This paper explores how parents in Hong Kong perceive the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of academic and non-academic private tutoring (PT) for their children, using a thematic analysis of interviews with 80 parents from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. We seek to understand the role of PT in parents' thinking about their children's learning and developmental needs in uncertain times, which foregrounds parents' temporalities in the face of disruption. We find that maintaining pre-pandemic PT levels was the most common attitude for almost half of the sample, followed by roughly similar groups of parents who increased or decreased their use of PT. Parental perceptions of the functions of PT converged on three main uses: mitigating the effects of schooling disruptions, making productive use of newfound free time and providing a sense of normality. Using a timescapes lens, we identify temporal elements in how PT factored into parents' experiences and perceptions of managing "gained" and "lost" time, adapting to remote learning, avoiding health risks and reflecting on inequalities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

There is still no consensus in the scientific community in the debate on the relationship between mental health and the use of video games. This study examined the association between mental health, in terms of well-being and psychological symptomatology, and video games use, in terms of hours of use and positive or negative experiences. The sample consisted of two groups of Argentine participants, one made up of 189 gamers (Mage = 30.1 years, SD = 9.46; 66.1% male) and a second group formed by 91 non-gamer participants (Mage = 33.4 years, SD = 11.1; 87.91% female). The results showed no linear or curvilinear relationship between mental health and the number of hours spent gaming, and no differences in the level of mental health between gamers and non-gamers. Associations were found between psychological symptomatology and negative gaming experiences, as well as between well-being and positive gaming experiences. The results would support the displacement, compensation, and bidirectional hypotheses. Mental health and gambling experiences do not appear to be independent phenomena. The moderated interaction hypothesis is proposed as a new hypothesis for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives. To determine the prevalence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms among medical students in Peru during the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated factors. Materials and methods. Cross-sectional study in 270 medical students from a Peruvian public university. Participants were recruited through non-probability sampling. Obsessive-compulsive symptoms were assessed with the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Scale (Y-BOCS). After the descriptive analysis, Poisson regression with robust variance was used to determine the factors associated with probable obsessive compulsive disorder (probable OCD). The crude (PRc) and adjusted (PRa) prevalence ratios were calculated, along with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results. The prevalence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms was 13.3% in medical students. During bivariate analysis, students with probable OCD were younger (p=0.044) and had a lower level of knowledge about COVID-19 (p=0.045). The crude model showed a lower prevalence of probable OCD among those with an adequate level of knowledge compared to those with an inadequate level (PR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.28 to 0.98). However, after adjusting for other variables, none of the described variables were statistically significant. Conclusions. One in ten medical students presented clinically significant obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Implementing future interventions is crucial to preserve the mental well-being of this vulnerable population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article explores Peru's transition towards community mental health from 1980 to 2022. Using an approach from medical anthropology and related social sciences, we argue that the community mental health reform in Peru has been influenced and shaped by multiple sociohistorical and political processes such as the period of internal armed conflict, economic crises, and the adoption of neoliberal policies. This article is based on an analysis of the national guidelines and reports related to mental health, participant observation in a Community Mental Health Center and with residents of a district of Lima, and interviews with citizens, health providers, and mental health activists. The analysis of the national mental health guidelines shows how sociohistorical processes influence mental health policies. The ethnographic work complicates citizens' varying perceptions of the community mental health model and the process of psychiatric deinstitutionalization. Now that mental health care takes place in the community, our ethnographic analysis points to changes in different notions of madness, care, and mental health and illness. The mental health reform also generates opportunities, such as mental health activism and the potential inclusion of community actors, as well as the inclusion of people with mental health problems in the elaboration of their diagnoses and treatments.

During university education, students experience a new environment and need to adapt to new ways of relating to their families and peers. This period involves changes in early adulthood, which can affect mental health. Due to COVID-19, students' activities had to adopt virtual formats. In this context, the present study explored the association of depression and school connectedness in university students from a public university in Guatemala. A total of 494 students from different careers participated. Participants completed an adapted version of the subscale of the "What it is Happening in the School (WHITS)" instrument. For depression, we used the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ9) and a demographic questionnaire. Analyses through a simple linear regression resulted in a significant model: F (1, 49) = 79.10, p < .001, R² 13 %, with an equation Y = β0 (17.53) + β1 (-0.32) X. The results showed that increased connectedness to school is associated with less depression symptoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article addresses the impact of racist medical practices on African American women in the United States. Historically, African American women have been ignored and mistreated by the medical field in the country. Cases of inhumane experiments conducted on black bodies, such as the infamous Tuskegee experiment, are mentioned. These acts have generated mistrust in the African American community towards the American healthcare system. Additionally, it is highlighted that the maternal mortality rate for African American women is higher than that of any other race in the country. In response to this situation, it is proposed that African American women take control of their own health by practicing self-care and educating themselves about their physical and mental well-being.

The article analyzes the use of technology in the detention of migrants and its alternatives. It highlights that the technologies used in immigration detention receive less attention than the technologies used to manage borders. The need to address ethical and human rights issues related to the use of technology in this context is raised. The change in the United Kingdom from in-person appearances to telephone appearances is mentioned as an example of how technology can alleviate the requirements of the appearance procedure and improve the mental health and well-being of those affected. The International Detention Coalition (IDC) is conducting research to understand the impact of technology on the lives of migrant people and promote better policy practices. The importance of establishing strong legal frameworks at the national level to protect the rights of those affected and ensure accountability in the use of technology in the detention of migrants is also highlighted.

Speech given in the context of an Act of Recognition of the UAB for the academic career in defense of the rights of women and dissident groups, awarded by the Observatory for Equality, in commemoration of International Working Women's Day (8M). A narrative is constructed, the result of thirty-eight years of dedication to the UAB, which is organized around the beginnings, academic references, intergenerational family memory and links with research and teaching. It focuses on a work of articulation between Gender Studies and Mental Health, highlighting the theoretical-epistemological critique of the intersection, lived in one's own skin, between Gender, Power and Science, in relation to Science Psychology and implications of the scientific-cultural construction of Binary Sexual Identity in relation to the Science of Mental Health. Narrative built from a commitment to intersectional feminist thought and for an emancipatory and inclusive psychology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we explored the symptoms of anxiety, depression and subjective memory complaints and the consumption of food rich in Omega 3 (ω3) fatty acids among university students from Córdoba, Argentina, knowing that ω3 rich foods are beneficial to those symptoms. A sample of 303 students participated during the second wave of COVID-19. The results showed that 56.8% of the students reported anxiety symptoms and 60.7% depression. Most of the students did not report significant memory failures. About the consumption of ω3, it was reported that only 14.5% of the students consumed foods rich in ω3 frequently enough. Together, the data indicates that special attention should be focus on this type of population, generating adequate prevention plans in relation to mental health, and promoting the benefits of ω3 consumption.
