Abstract

This study examined mental adjustment to breast cancer, that is, coping strategies. Participants were 130 women undergoing breast cancer treatment in two medical settings in Accra, Ghana. They completed questionnaires assessing mental adjustment to cancer, psychological distress (anxiety and depression), negative religious coping, body change stress, and illness perceptions. Data were analyzed using hierarchical linear regression. Results showed that patients who reported higher depression were more likely to engage in anxious preoccupation (worry and thinking about breast cancer). Higher depression was associated with a greater sense of helplessness/hopelessness. Moreover, patients higher in negative religious coping were more likely to experience a greater sense of helplessness/hopelessness. Illness perception facets of personal control and emotional response were positively associated with fatalism and anxious preoccupation, respectively. The results suggest that screening breast cancer patients for psychological morbidity could help identify patients with increased risks for maladaptive adjustment to the disease.

21. Common perinatal mental disorders: a study of correlates, quality of life and birth outcomes among pregnant women in Accra, Ghana

Abstract

Depression and anxiety are among the commonest mental disorders that may affect women during pregnancy. This study aimed at getting a better understanding of how these variables impact on the quality of life of women during the perinatal period and how social support and intimate partner relationship moderate that relationship. In this study, 122 women in Accra, Ghana, completed a series of self –report measures including the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), The Intimate Bond Measure (IBM) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL–BREF). Results indicated 37.7% of the perinatal women experienced moderate to severe symptoms of depression and 16.4% of moderate to severe symptoms of anxiety. While there was a negative relationship between common mental disorders (CMDs) and quality of life during pregnancy, social support partially moderated this relationship. Intimate partner relationship, however, did not act as a buffer against the effects of CMDS on quality of life. CMDs were shown to have adverse effects on birth outcomes in terms of birth weight. The study demonstrated that perinatal mental health problems exist among women in Accra during pregnancy and that it has adverse outcomes for their quality of life with social support serving as a robust buffer in these relationships.

Abstract

Across the world, there has been a movement from traditional to modern eating, including a movement of traditional eating patterns from their origin culture to new cultures, and the emergence of new foods and eating behaviors. This trend toward modern eating is of particular significance because traditional eating has been related to positive health outcomes and sustainability. Yet, there is no consensus on what constitutes traditional and modern eating. The present study provides a comprehensive compilation of the various facets that seem to make up traditional and modern eating. Specifically, 106 facets were mentioned in the previous literature and expert discussions, combining international and interdisciplinary perspectives. The present study provides a framework (the TEP10 framework) systematizing these 106 facets into two major dimensions, what and how people eat, and 12 subdimensions. Hence, focusing only on single facets of traditional and modern eating is an oversimplification of this complex phenomenon. Instead, the multidimensionality and interplay between different facets should be considered to gain a comprehensive understanding of the trends, consequences, and underlying factors of traditional and modern eating. published

Abstract

International audience; Approval of hierarchy and inequality in society indexed by social dominance orientation (SDO) extends to support for human dominance over the natural world. We tested this negative association between SDO and environmentalism and the validity of the new Short Social Dominance Orientation Scale in two cross-cultural samples of students (N = 4,163, k = 25) and the general population (N = 1,237, k = 10). As expected, the higher people were on SDO, the less likely they were to engage in environmental citizenship actions, pro-environmental behaviors and to donate to an environmental organization. Multilevel moderation results showed that the SDO–environmentalism relation was stronger in societies with marked societal inequality, lack of societal development, and environmental standards. The results highlight the interplay between individual psychological orientations and social context, as well as the view of nature subscribed to by those high in SDO.

Abstract

Recently, the issue of homosexuality has generated passionate discussion in Ghana making it obvious that Ghanaians are unaccepting of it and view it as against the culture, moral ethics and religions of Ghana. This study therefore aimed at determining the extent to which religious commitment will moderate prejudicial attitudes toward homosexuals focusing on the cognitive and affective components of attitudes. It also had the secondary aim of determining the relative importance of stereotypic beliefs, symbolic beliefs, and affect in predicting attitudes toward homosexuals. Students of the University of Ghana, specifically from the Department of Psychology, served as participants (N = 183). Findings indicated that participants had prejudicial attitudes toward homosexuals, rating them as very unfavourable. Also, participants’ personal characteristics did not predict their evaluation of homosexuals. Additionally, stereotypic beliefs and affect were found to be the best predictors of participants’ prejudicial attitudes. Finally, it was found that religious commitment moderated the relationship between participants’ attitude components and their evaluation of homosexuals but with the exception of affect. These findings are most probably due to the cultural environment within which participants are socialized. It is recommended that future studies determine which other variables might be affecting prejudicial attitudes toward homosexuals and also examine the behavioural component of such attitudes.Keywords: Prejudicial Attitudes, Religious Commitment, Homosexuals, Attitude Components

Abstract

Community leaders can play an important role in suicide prevention because they are potential gatekeepers in resource-poor settings. To investigate their attitudes towards suicide and the role they play when people are in suicidal crisis, 10 community leaders were interviewed in a rural community in Ghana. Thematic Analysis of the interviews showed that leaders held two conflicting views about suicide: health crisis and moral taboo. They also viewed the reasons for suicide as psychosocial strains more than psychiatric factors. Though they viewed suicide as a moral taboo, they maintained a more neutral position in their gatekeeping role: providing support for persons in suicidal crisis more often than exerting a condemnatory attitude. Implications for gatekeeper training are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study examined the reasons for suicide attempts among patients in Ghana. Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 30 informants who had been hospitalized for attempted suicide. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyse the transcribed narratives, and five main themes emerged: 1) lack of support; 2) abandonment; 3) shame; 4) existential struggles; and 5) supernatural reasons. There were gender differences with abandonment reported by only women and shame associated with economic difficulties reported only by men. Findings are discussed within the context of a socio-cultural theory of suicide behaviour, and implications for the prevention of suicide and care of suicidal persons are suggested.

Abstract

This study explored the views of judges and lawyers of the superior courts of Ghana on the law criminalizing attempted suicide. Qualitative data were collected from 12 experienced legal practitioners of the superior courts (five judges and seven lawyers) using a semi-structured interview schedule. Thematic analysis of the data yielded three main perspectives: In defence of the Law, Advocating a Repeal, and Pro-Health Orientation. Although exploratory, the findings of this study offer cues for stepping up suicide literacy and advocacy programmes toward either a repeal of the law or a reform. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
