Abstract

Individuals infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have experienced torrents of problems associated with the pandemic, impairing their health, mental, social, and economic conditions. This study aimed to determine the psychological reactions and emotions of patients with COVID-19 infection and the social consequences during hospitalization. The current study used a qualitative and phenomenological design at a training and research hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The study sample included 17 patients (41.6 ± 16.5 years) who had been discharged after COVID-19 treatment. The gathered information was classified into two main domains (social and psychological) and relevant themes and subthemes using a content analysis and classification method. The main factors of distress and emotions were categorized as before, during, and after hospitalization. Patients’ views of life and emotions underwent significant changes from pre-hospitalization to discharge throughout the disease course. While negative feelings such as fear, sadness, and shock/bewilderment were more prevalent before and during hospitalization, emotions concerning the value of health and life and thanksgiving dominated their psychological experiences after hospitalization. Participants experienced the social and economic impacts of COVID-19, including decreased social relationships, education, work, and income, with half experiencing stigmatization, leading to self-shyness, sadness, anger, and disappointment. The current study provided data about the psychological experiences of COVID-19 victims and their social and economic experiences, which may vary at different points throughout the disease course.

Abstract

Knowing the patient’s personality can assist the clinician in improving their relationship and tailoring the interventions for the patient. Several studies have reported that treatment and prevention programs must be tailored to an individual’s social and cultural attributes to facilitate continuous recovery and prevent relapse. This study aimed to develop a deeper understanding of the personality typology, clinical features, and risk of relapse in Filipinos with substance use problems in rehabilitation centers. We used a sequential-explanatory mixed-method approach with two phases (Phase 1: descriptive, cross-sectional design; Phase 2: phenomenological design) to provide an evidence-based framework to tailor treatment according to the personality of individuals with substance use problems. Phase 1 results revealed only one personality cluster for Filipinos with substance use problems, i.e., neurotic-extravert. Participants also had high scores on different scales in the MCMI-III and displayed high chances of reusing illicit substances. Phase 2 revealed four themes: avoidance coping, unwillingness to change, preference for social activities, and perceived lack of support. Integrating the findings of our two phases led to the development of the proposed treatment framework for Filipinos with substance use problems, including activities focused on developing positive coping mechanisms, increasing the motivation of Filipinos with substance use problems, having social activities, fostering support systems, and a post-treatment program. Our study’s findings may aid mental health professionals engaged in substance use prevention and recovery in creating better treatment programs and reducing posttreatment relapse tendencies.

Abstract

This study aimed to translate, adapt, and validate the modified version of the Player Experience of Need Satisfaction (PENS) for Malaysian Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) players. The translation and adaptation process involved a rigorous procedure with nine mental health and linguistic experts. A non-probability sampling method was applied by recruiting 491 participants from the MOBA Facebook groups. The parallel analysis indicated a two-factor structure (autonomy and competence as one factor and relatedness as another factor). Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a better model fit for the translated version compared with the original English version, with satisfactory psychometric properties. Future studies should address psychometric concerns and evaluate the scale across diverse populations and game genres. This study provides a foundation for understanding and enhancing the gaming experience in the dynamic and rapidly growing mobile game aggregation market.

Abstract

The emergence and proliferation of social media gave rise to “selfitis,” an obsession-compulsive engagement in photo selfie-related activities. This phenomenon raises a problem, especially for people experiencing body acceptance concerns and body dysmorphia symptoms, as both of these variables may be linked with photo selfie-taking behavior. With the Philippines having the second-highest average daily social media usage globally, this study explored the association between body acceptance, body dysmorphia symptoms, and selfie behavior. We utilized a cross-sectional explanatory design and investigated the possible mediating and moderating role of body dysmorphia symptoms in the relationship between body acceptance and selfies among 506 Filipinos aged 18–58 who voluntarily completed an online battery of tests measuring body acceptance, body dysmorphia symptoms, and selfie behavior. The results showed that body dysmorphia symptoms moderated and partially mediated the association between body acceptance and selfie behavior, offering a more in-depth understanding of these constructs among our Filipino sample. No clinical association was found between selfie-taking and body dysmorphia symptoms, challenging the notion that frequent selfie-taking is a direct symptom of body acceptance issues. Therefore, understanding and addressing body acceptance concerns requires us to move beyond one-size-fits-all approaches and always consider the specific cultural contexts in which they arise.

Abstract

Schizophrenia is often characterized by delusions and hallucinations, which often appear as manifestations of religious delusions in the Banjar cultural context. This phenomenon can be understood through the hyper-religiosity theory, which explains excessive religious behavior in individuals with schizophrenia. This qualitative case study aims to identify the forms of religious delusion in individuals with hyper-religiosity and the underlying causal factors. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations with 10 informants, comprising four individuals with religious delusions selected using purposive sampling based on their experience of studying Tasawwuf and experiencing religious delusions and six significant others. The findings show that delusions appear in the form of recognition as God or Prophet, receiving divine knowledge, and hyper-religiosity behavior seen in excessive worship practices, intolerance of different beliefs, and fanaticism toward religious symbols. Contributing factors include genetic predisposition, medication non-adherence, and traumatic experiences, which intensify psychological symptoms and demonstrate the complex interactions among cultural, psychological, and biological factors. These findings underscore the importance of clinical approaches that are sensitive to the cultural and religious contexts of patients and the need for further research to develop more effective intervention strategies to address religious delusions in individuals with schizophrenia in religious communities.
