Abstract

Correctional officers perform high-risk, demanding public safety functions involving the simultaneous supervision of incarcerated offenders, preservation of institutional order, enforcement of human rights protections, and execution of offender rehabilitation programs. Sustained hypervigilance, volatile interpersonal conflicts, irregular night schedules, systemic understaffing, and acute emotional labor expose prison personnel to heightened risks of psychological distress, chronic fatigue, and occupational burnout. Despite significant progressive prison reforms in post-independence India focusing on inmate welfare and humane custodial management, research evaluating the workplace mental health of correctional staff remains scarce. This study provides a conceptual narrative analysis of the occupational and psychological stressors experienced by correctional personnel in Kerala using an illustrative Composite Vignette methodology. Grounded in the Job Demands–Resources (JD–R) model and Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, empirical literature and official reports—including NIMHANS data and international correctional studies—were qualitatively synthesized. The analysis identifies eight primary occupational and psychological challenges: chronic hypervigilance, sleep disturbances, internal emotional exhaustion, interpersonal detachment, work–life conflict, help-seeking stigma, repeated exposure to unaddressed trauma, and a compulsory sense of duty under structural constraints. To protect personnel well-being and maintain institutional security, prison administrations must implement systemic reforms, including structured 8-hour shift rotations, institutional mental health education, confidential counseling services, and immediate post-incident psychological first aid.

Abstract

Mental health has emerged as one of the most pressing public health concerns of the twenty-first century. Despite increasing awareness, stigma, discrimination, and limited accessibility continue to prevent individuals from seeking timely support. Historically, mental illness was viewed predominantly through a medical model that focused on symptom reduction and institutional care. Contemporary perspectives, however, recognize mental health as a fundamental human right requiring dignity, autonomy, equality, and access to quality services. This paper explores the transition of mental healthcare in India from stigma and exclusion to a rights-based approach, with special emphasis on the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017. The paper examines different forms of stigma and their influence on help-seeking behavior. It discusses the major provisions of the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017, including rights related to treatment, confidentiality, informed consent, community living, advance directives, and protection from inhuman treatment. Further, it highlights national and international initiatives and analyses challenges in implementation. Finally, it emphasizes the role of families, educational institutions, workplaces, communities, and mental health professionals in promoting awareness and safeguarding rights. The paper argues that mental healthcare should be understood not merely as treatment of illness but as an issue of dignity, social justice, and human rights requiring collaborative and policy-based interventions.

Abstract

Adolescent mental health is a critical determinant of psychosocial adjustment and academic achievement. This study aimed to examine the level of mental health among high school students and analyze differences based on gender and type of schooling (residential vs. non-residential). A quantitative causal-comparative research design was employed involving 200 high school students (100 boys and 100 girls; aged 14–16 years) selected via convenience sampling from schools across Karnataka, India. Data were collected using the standardized Mental Health Battery (MHB) developed by Singh and Sen Gupta, which evaluates multiple dimensions of mental health with established reliability (α = 0.72–0.87). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests. The descriptive findings revealed an alarming prevalence of psychological vulnerability, with 61% of students falling into poor (47%) and very poor (14%) mental health categories, while only 1% demonstrated good mental health. Inferential analysis indicated significant gender differences, with female students exhibiting significantly higher overall mental health scores than male students (t = 2.88, p = .004). Furthermore, residential school students demonstrated significantly superior mental health compared to their non-residential peers (t = 5.46, p = .001). These findings underscore the protective nature of structured educational environments and highlight the urgent necessity for targeted, school-based mental health interventions and institutional counseling frameworks tailored to adolescent boys and day scholars.

Abstract

Over the last decade, digital platforms have become an integral part of adolescents’ lives. This paper aims to examine the impact of constant exposure to digital social environments on adolescent mental health from 2015 to 2025. It emphasizes the role of digital platforms in influencing thoughts, feelings, overall personality development, and mental health outcomes among young people. This review highlights key psychological mechanisms, notably upward social comparison, through which adolescents evaluate themselves against idealized depictions of appearance, abilities, and success. Growing evidence links these processes to body dissatisfaction, lowered self-esteem, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Furthermore, this paper addresses moderating factors such as gender differences and active versus passive usage patterns, alongside post-pandemic challenges arising from heightened screen engagement during COVID-19. Finally, the necessity of psychoeducational interventions, digital literacy, and multi-tiered social support systems to foster resilience is discussed.

Abstract

The National Cadet Corps (NCC) of India provides structured military-style training that may differentially shape psychological attributes in youth. This study examined whether NCC enrollment was associated with higher levels of grit and self-esteem relative to non-enrolled peers. A total of 324 young adults (130 female, 194 male) were recruited through purposive sampling: 166 active NCC cadets and 158 non-enrolled students from higher educational institutions specifically the under graduate level in India. Grit was measured using the 12 item Grit Scale (Grit-S; Duckworth & Quinn, 2009) and self-esteem using the 10 item Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES; Rosenberg, 1965). Independent-samples t-tests and Mann–Whitney U tests confirmed significant group differences on both variables. NCC cadets reported substantially higher grit scores (M = 3.55, SD = 0.895) than non-NCC participants (M = 2.39, SD = 0.892), t(322) = −11.70, p < .001. Similarly, NCC cadets exhibited markedly higher self-esteem (M = 31.75, SD = 4.38) compared to non-NCC participants (M = 17.91, SD = 4.96), t(322) = −26.60, p < .001. Frequency analyses revealed that 80 NCC cadets (48.2%) fell in the high-grit category, while 91 non-NCC participants (57.6%) fell in the low-grit category. Gender-based distributions were also explored and reported descriptively. These findings suggest that structured military-affiliated training environments may foster perseverance and positive self-regard in youth. Implications for character development programmes and positive psychology interventions in India are discussed.

Abstract

This study was conducted in response to employees' difficulties in managing increasing and dynamic workloads, particularly multiple tasks, overlapping deadlines, meetings, and unexpected work demands. The study aimed to examine the practical usefulness of a handbook integrating time blocking and to-do list techniques in supporting employees' workload management. A one-group pretest–posttest design was employed with four employees of the Assessment Center Unit selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 15-item workload management scale, supported by observations, semi-structured interviews, and handbook records. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, while qualitative data were analyzed descriptively. The findings showed an increase in mean workload management scores from 54.50 to 57.75, with all participants demonstrating individual improvements; however, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test indicated that the difference between pretest and posttest scores was not statistically significant (p = .066). Qualitative findings indicated that the handbook helped participants organize tasks, determine priorities, record deadlines, allocate working time, and monitor task completion. The findings also showed that time blocking needed to be applied flexibly due to unexpected tasks and changes in work priorities. Overall, the handbook provides preliminary evidence of practical usefulness as a structured tool for supporting workload organization. However, the small sample size, absence of a control group, and short intervention period limit the generalizability of the findings. Future research should involve larger samples, controlled designs, objective performance indicators, and longer follow-up periods.
