Physical Education and Physical Fitness Across Development: A Neurodevelopmental Perspective on Childhood and Adolescence |Chapter 2 | An Overview of Disease and Health Research Vol. 10

 

Physical education is a fundamental component of childhood and adolescent development, contributing not only to physical fitness but also to cognitive, emotional, and psychosocial maturation. Contemporary evidence from developmental neuroscience highlights adolescence as a sensitive period of heightened neuroplasticity, during which physical activity exerts profound effects on brain structure and function. School-based physical education provides a unique environment that combines movement, novelty, skill acquisition, and peer interaction; key drivers of neural adaptation during this developmental “grey zone.” This chapter examines physical education as a neurodevelopmentally active process, synthesising evidence on its role in enhancing physical fitness alongside executive function, emotional regulation, motivation, and mental well-being. By integrating perspectives from exercise science and adolescent neuroscience, the chapter emphasises the need to design physical education programs that align with brain maturation processes to optimise both physical and mental health outcomes in children and adolescents.

Chronotypes and Health: Biological and Social Implications | Chapter 6 | An Overview of Disease and Health Research Vol. 6

 

Chronotypes represent an individual’s natural preference for sleep and activity timing within the 24-hour day, governed by circadian rhythms and the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). This review explores how chronotypes categorised as morning, evening, and intermediate affect various dimensions of health and behaviours. It examines the biological underpinnings of chronotype, including hormonal and genetic mechanisms, and the tools used for its assessment, such as the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, Munich Chronotype Questionnaire, actigraphy, and sleep diaries. The study highlights significant associations between chronotype and physical health outcomes, including sleep quality, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular health, and immune function. In terms of mental health, evening chronotypes are particularly vulnerable to depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders, often due to misalignment between biological rhythms and societal demands. Furthermore, chronotype influences cognitive functioning, academic performance, and the impact of shift work, particularly among working adults. Understanding and aligning daily routines with an individual’s chronotype can lead to improved well-being, enhanced productivity, and reduced health risks. The findings underscore the importance of recognising chronotype differences to improve health outcomes, optimise daily functioning, and tailor interventions in educational, clinical, and occupational settings. Future research should continue to explore chronotype-based interventions and policies that respect biological diversity in human functioning.

Prevalence of Depression, Anxiety, Stress and Its Associated Factors among Married Women in Rural Kolar | Book Publisher International

 

Introduction: Mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, and stress are pressing public health concerns, particularly among married women in rural India. Socio-economic challenges, cultural norms, and familial responsibilities contribute to their heightened risk of psychological distress. Despite the severity of these issues, research and data on mental health in rural areas like Kolar, Karnataka, remain limited, making it difficult to fully address their needs.

 

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among rural married women in Kolar and also to identify those associated socio-demographic factors.

 

Methods: A community-based cross-sectional observational study conducted within a specific population between July 2023 and December 2024 among 630 married women aged 18–60 years in the Rural Health Training Centre (RHTC) field practice area of Devarayasamudra, Kolar. Participants were selected using multi-stage random sampling. Data was collected using a pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire and the DASS-42 scale, which includes 42 items across three subscales—depression, anxiety, and stress—each rated on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 to 3. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 22.0 with Chi-square tests and logistic regression.

 

Results: The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress was 72.3%, 71.9%, and 61.9%, respectively. Severe to extremely severe forms were notably high. Significant associations were found between mental health status and factors like age, education level, socioeconomic status, and family structure (p<0.05). Older women and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds showed higher prevalence rates.

 

Conclusion: A substantial burden of depression, anxiety, and stress exists among married women in rural Kolar. Socio-demographic factors critically influence mental health. Community-based mental health programs focusing on early detection and socio-economic empowerment are urgently needed. Additionally, region-specific mental health research and longitudinal studies should be encouraged to generate local evidence for informed policy-making.

The Counselling and Psychotherapy Room as a Healing Space | Chapter 7 | Medical Science: Recent Advances and Applications Vol. 11

 

People in the community, family members, neighbours, friends, local doctors, and clergy usually form emotional and social support systems for individuals. Counselling and psychotherapy are to be found in many guises in society, and to add to the complexity, there are many formal schools of counselling and psychotherapy which are informed by their own particular theoretical framework. This review hopes to establish the different aspects of this healing process. The first part of the Literature Review delineated the relationship between the concepts of extra-sensory perception and healing. Based on Jung’s experiences related to the collective unconscious, Dunne has demonstrated that most of his findings were based on his realisations and work done on his own dreams. Exploration on the subject continued with an avalanche of experiential techniques of psychotherapy and spiritual practices of all kinds, from Gestalt therapy to transcendental meditation, among therapists and lay people in the 1970s and 1980s. Secondly, this review provided an overview of the importance of Self-knowledge as part study of the healing process in the counselling and psychotherapy room. It was noted that nowadays, some knowledge in the field of extra-sensory healing in the therapy and counselling field has been analysed closely. Finally, in part three, a typological psychotic view of the subject was given. Experiences from counsellors, healers and psychotherapists which involve premonition, visions or any other phenomenological aspect have occurred in sessions. This development shifts the field of scientific enquiries into a new period; one that is separated from the past by its recognition of the psychiatric, psychological and medical field, which influence in a direct and indirect way the work carried out in the counselling room as a healing space.

The Role of Rehabilitation Medicine in the Psychological Etiology of Blindness or Visual Impairment: A Critical Synthesis | Chapter 6 | Disease and Health Research: New Insights Vol. 6

 Background: Most research and subsequent treatment interventions operate dichotomously in the conceptualization of causality regarding mental health among people with BVI, advancing the conclusion that such problems are either related to physical impairment or social structure. Roughly 3 million adult Americans have a visual impairment or blindness, and over 4 million adults aged 40 and older. Despite data demonstrating an elevated prevalence of mental health symptoms in people with BVI, this population remains largely untreated. The relatively low rates of mental health care service initiation are particularly concerning because individuals with BVI frequently interact with many systems of rehabilitative treatment intended to enhance quality of life.

 

Aim: The present study highlights the Role of Rehabilitation Medicine in the Psychological Etiology of Blindness or Visual Impairment.

 

Patients and Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted. The literature review utilized a critical systems typology, whereby relevant literature was selected, reviewed, and analyzed intra and extra-organizationally. In addition, a thorough discussion of disability-related factors was provided, lending a socio-political lens to the problem.

 

Results: Considerable data indicates that short-term mental health care services for people with BVI are ineffective treatment methods, albeit primarily employed in health-rehabilitative processes. Multiple studies offered data indicating the presence of diverse and entangled mental health issues relative to vocational rehabilitation services, mobility tool utility, and emotional reactions to vision loss. Many studies suggested that disability identity work be integrated into health-rehabilitative processes for people with BVI. A critical forum or podcast can provide a means of educative introspection that aids people with BVI to recognize the power that is given, not necessarily power held. Reality therapy, then, can be an organized effort to incorporate into clinical settings which people with BVI are cognizant of, and may specifically request, during assessment or evaluative procedures.

 

Conclusion: To improve the utility of mental health care services for people with BVI, a reenergization of the mental health care needs of this population must occur. Future mental health policy and practice for individuals with BVI can be improved with the help of a podcast or forum that critically examines and educates listeners about the health-rehabilitation issues that impact the provision of mental health care services. In order to improve understanding of this demographic and their particular mental health needs, disability researchers must expedite qualitative, community-based techniques and develop research on integrating critical perspectives in treatment with persons with BVI.

The Power within: Unveiling the Psychology of Women | Book Publisher International

The Power Within: Unveiling the Psychology of Women is a comprehensive analysis of women's psychological landscape that highlights the inner strengths that promote women's personal growth and resilience. The primary objective of the book is to examine the fundamental psychological traits that empower women in a range of life domains. Important objectives include analysing how social forces impact women's mental health, promoting self-determination, and comprehending emotional intelligence.

 

The book is structured into seven thematic chapters, each addressing a core element of the female psyche. Chapter 1, The Psychology of Resilience, delves into how women overcome adversity and the strategies they employ to build lasting strength. Chapter 2, The Power of Emotional Intelligence, emphasises the benefits of emotional awareness for success in both personal and professional domains. Chapter 3, The Significance of Confidence and Self-Worth, explores how self-perception impacts motivation, achievement, and emotional stability. Chapter 4, Developing the Inner Voice, guides women to strengthen self-reflection and inner clarity for independent decision-making. Chapter 5, Connections and the Strength of Bonding, discusses the importance of social networks and emotional support in sustaining psychological health. Chapter 6, The Impact of Feminism on Women’s Psychology, analyses the transformative effects of feminist ideologies on identity, autonomy, and empowerment. Chapter 7, Women’s Mental Health: From Struggles to Strength, addresses psychological challenges and highlights recovery, resilience, and empowerment.

 

The approach combines literary analysis, real-world case settings, and psychological theory. The book demonstrates how fiction can mirror and influence actual psychological experiences through an interpretive analysis of characters, particularly from Shashi Deshpande are That Long Silence. Women's emotional and mental frames are better understood through this interdisciplinary approach. In order to make the findings understandable and relatable, it also seeks to close the gap between theory and lived experience.

 

All things considered, the book offers a comprehensive, inspiring perspective on the feminine mind that honours emotional intelligence, inner strength, and flexibility. It functions as a psychological analysis as well as a source of inspiration for women negotiating challenging social and emotional situations.

Discussing Infrastructure Deficit and Impact on Mental Health in Zambia |Book Publisher International

 

Aim: This book attempts to examine the critical role that physical health infrastructure and associated facilities play in the delivery of effective integrated primary health care services to mental patients in Zambia. The working definition for ‘physical infrastructure’ in the entire book relates to wider capacities that facilitate effective operations of a health facility in the form of hospital buildings, bed spaces, medical equipment, and professional healthcare personnel, among other related elements.

 

Background: The interrogation of the political commitment and unavailability of robust infrastructure development, in the context of Zambia’s integrated health care system, forms the nucleus of the argument in this discourse.

 

Methodology: The arguments presented here are derived from both quantitative and qualitative data pulled from various sources to map out the debate around the impact of inadequate infrastructure facilities on mental health patients in Zambia’s health system.

 

Findings: Inadequate health infrastructure facilities have had a negative impact on the well-being of mental health patients and other sectors of the Zambian society. Without undermining the existing government’s efforts to establish the facilities around the country, Zambia has only one and yet ill-resourced main hospital, offering mental health services. This hospital has been overwhelmed by a combination of insufficient infrastructure, as understood in holistic terms, and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The argument is that a system that does not include these elements, does not represent the demographics of the country and their variegated social problems. If mental patients do not adequately and freely access the services that they deserve, they are gripped with a sense of marginalization by the Ministry of Health and its cooperating partners.

 

Unique Contributions to Theory, Practice, and Policy: For the health reforms to be effective in Zambia, it is recommended that a conceptual integrated health system be anchored on the universal allocation of adequate resources and operationalization of mental health policies. This will enable us to genuinely connect with social determinants of mental health issues within communities. Also, the involvement of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in providing an interface between communities and governments should be supported by organizational or multi-institution capacity and coordination. A systems theory has informed the framework under which this book systematically advocates for a robust infrastructure development programme for mental health care services.

Intimate Fear among College Students: Concepts, Measurements, Consequences, and Antecedent Variables | Chapter 2 | Current Progress in Arts and Social Studies Research Vol. 9

Background: Intimate relationships have a significant impact on college students, and the fear of intimacy seriously hinders the establishment and development of intimate relationships.

Objective: The objective of the study is to understand the research progress on the fear of intimacy among college students and provide reference suggestions for developing corresponding intervention measures.

Methods: A literature search was used to search for Chinese or English literature in CNKI, Google Scholar, and PubMed using the keyword "college students+ fear of intimacy".

Results: Thirty-three papers were included. The fear of intimacy is an important predictor variable for the mental health of college students, negatively predicting their interpersonal relationship quality and subjective well-being, and positively predicting depression and anxiety. The development of fear of intimacy is constrained by various factors such as individual demographics, early experiences, current romantic experiences, and psychological quality.

Conclusion: Previous studies have provided useful reference opinions for understanding the mechanisms of intimate relationship-related issues among college students and providing effective interventions, with good theoretical and practical value. However, research methods need to be improved.

The Applications of Mindfulness Techniques in Management of Borderline Personality Disorder | Chapter 8 | Recent Updates in Disease and Health Research Vol. 5

Many biopsychosocial models of borderline personality disorder (BPD) center on emotion dysregulation, which is frequently addressed in the psychosocial therapies that are linked to the management of disorder. For those with BPD diagnoses, a number of different specialized psychotherapies are believed to be helpful, but it's uncertain if they have similar changing mechanisms. Many psychotherapies include mindfulness as a component. However, its usefulness in the treatment of borderline personality disorder (BPD) is still unclear. The purpose of the concern study is to examine the effect of mindfulness practices in management of borderline personality disorder incorporating with medication. A sample of 50 borderline old patients [clinical diagnosis having the borderline personality disorder (BPD) severity score more than 20 points on [BPDSI] was purposively selected for the study. The patients were given the regular medication incorporating the mindfulness exercises. After 6 months, the symptoms were checked through mental health checklist. A mental health checklist was administered through professionals before and after incorporating the mindfulness with the medication. Study revealed that most commonly improved symptoms were affective instability, inappropriate anger, and feeling of emptiness. Kundalini Yoga (64%) and Sudarshan Kriya (58%) were proved most effective mindfulness practices in decreasing the symptoms of BPD. The study revealed that mindfulness practices have a vast impact in decreasing the symptoms of BPD, while incorporating with medications. The author of this article also addressed several mindfulness techniques that have been shown to be more successful in symptom reduction. They also aim to advocate for the inclusion of mindfulness training in helping professions such as social work courses. Professionals are including mindfulness meditation trainings into their treatment regimens these days since it promotes physical and mental stability. Training of mindfulness/meditation is a requirement of social work practice nowadays. It could be valuable in social work education to explore their own thinking, to evaluate their own personality traits and behavioral patterns. These practices naturally enhance creativity and imagination.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Mental Health of Students in Japan: A Literature Review | Chapter 6 | Recent Updates in Disease and Health Research Vol. 1

This chapter provides an overview of stress and mental health problems, including depression, anxiety, and suicidality, among students in Japan during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic by searching databases and reviewing studies of this topic. The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially impacted the mental health of students worldwide, disrupted routine education, and caused psychological distress, leading to an increase in the number of suicides in this population. In addition to the fear of infection, the lack of awareness related to COVID-19 preventive measures and the limited communication with others caused by self-isolation and restrictions on movement and activities have negatively affected the mental health of students. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the emergence of reports of its negative impact on mental health worldwide. These repercussions are predicted to be strong among students, as this population is vulnerable to emotional stress because of the psychological challenges associated with the transition to adulthood. However, the data regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of students are insufficient. This chapter provides insights into the stress that developed among students during the COVID-19 pandemic, and its findings can be used to effectively identify and support students who may struggle during future pandemics and crises. In particular, educators may use the results of this study to prevent negative effects on mental health and promote the future academic achievements, general well-being, efficacy, and empowerment of students in this new-normal post-COVID-19 pandemic era.

Impact of Job Stress on Psychological Distress, Cardiovascular Risk, Gastrointestinal Symptoms, and Musculoskeletal Pain in Professionals: A Cross-sectional Study | Chapter 5 | Recent Research Advances in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 4

Introduction: Job-related stress has become a critical concern due to its detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. This study investigates the correlations between job stress, mental health outcomes and physical pain outcomes in professionals from various industries.

Methodology: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 400 participants. We utilised validated instruments to measure job stress, mental health outcomes, and physical pain outcomes. Statistical analysis employed regression analysis to examine the relationships between job stress and health outcomes.

Results: Job stress was positively associated with all mental health and physical pain outcomes. Burnout emerged as the strongest predictor of mental health issues, while job stress directly contributed to all three physical pain types.

Limitations: The cross-sectional design limits causal inferences. Future longitudinal studies can strengthen the understanding of these relationships. The relatively small sample size might affect the generalizability of findings.

Conclusion: This study provides evidence for the significant interplay between job stress, mental health, and physical pain. Workplace interventions targeting stress reduction and burnout prevention are crucial to promote employee well-being and combat the harmful effects of job stress.

 This stage aimed to resolve the psychosocial impact determined by post-frightening scars, using psychometric scales, to evaluate the effectiveness of the Mekeres' Psychosocial Internalization Scale (MPIS), and to recognize relevant predictors of frightening and surgical scar internalization. A scar is a normal and an certain physiological response to the unaffected healing process of wounds or blow in the human body. The concentrate of scar is a kind of odd and unsound fabric that does not possess the form, physiological function and energy of normal skin fabric.The study included a total number of 293 colleagues, aged middle from two points 18 and 64 (m = 38.75; SD = 13.04), of which 149 were daughters (50.9%) and 144 were men (49.1%). We distinguished the results obtained in two subgroups: 153 cases with posttraumatic scars and 140 with surgical scars. Our results emphasize that in the experimental group, taller scores of self-care, usual venture, pain and discomfort increased the cavity levels. Additionally, higher POSAS scores had a definite effect, as it proved to decrease the despair levels. Our regression equating proved expected a good fit for the model, defining 51.6% of lack of hope depression (R2 = 0.516).Relevant predictors for posttraumatic scar internalization (R2=0.721) are adjustment time, Age of the occurrence and subjective evaluation are appropriate indicators for tension and subjective evaluation of the scars and posttraumatic character of life are useful predictors for depression and hopelessness.The intellectual and social newsgathering of trauma's aftereffects, that are followed by hurting, can predict in what way or manner someone will respond and may further hint at their weakness for psychopathology.
