Methods: The qualitative interpretive approach was used. A multi-case study design was used. Purposeful sampling and random sampling techniques were used to select the participants. Data were collected using in-depth semi-structured interviews with fifteen teachers.

Results: The findings revealed that teachers lacked ICT skills. Also, the lack of ICT infrastructure and internet access made it difficult for teachers to help learners use ICT and inhibited active learning. Thus, training could enable teachers to acquire ICT skills to improve the teachinglearning process.

Conclusion: Therefore, making ICT an integral component of the rural primary school education system is a serious issue for policy-making and planning to enhance learner participation, collaboration, and communication processes during the teaching-learning process. Furthermore, mechanisms, such as ICT training, provision of laptops, and improved internet access could provide opportunities for learners to utilize technology during the teaching-learning process in rural primary schooling.

Objectives: The main objective of the present study was to investigate the possible relationship between mobile phone addiction, sleep quality and academic performance of college students and how one factor significantly influenced the other.

Methods: In the study carried out electronically through the MS FORMS platform, 112 students participated: 30 men, 80 women, 1 non-party person and 1 transgender man, with an age range of 18 to 65 years (mean age 30). The SAS_SV research scales for mobile phone addiction, PSQI for sleep quality, and APS for academic performance were used to investigate correlations. Data were analyzed using Jamovi 2.3.

Results and Discussions: The results of the present study demonstrated statistically significant correlations between the variables under investigation with a p-value less than 0.05, verifying the primary hypothesis.

Conclusion: In this particular study, it was observed how important the effect of the mobile phone might be on the quality outcome of sleep, on academic performance, but also in what other ways the three different factors could negatively influence each other in terms of student performance.

Objectives: To investigate the impact of work-related stress, anxiety and depression on employees' food choices and behavioral responses to food.

Method: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted on a sample of public and private sector employees who completed a questionnaire on food attitudes and psychological distress. Food attitudes were assessed with the EAT-26 scale, while depression, anxiety and stress were assessed with the DASS-21 scale.

Results and Discussion: The questionnaire was completed by 52 employees with a mean age of 39.7 ± 14.0, 75.0% of whom were women, with a mean total employment duration of 14.1 ± 10.2 years. Overall, 5.8% of participants reported very severe depression, 1.9% reported very severe anxiety, and 15.4% reported very severe stress.Moreover, 75.0% of employees were within the normal range of scores on the EAT-26 scale, while 25.0% had evidence of a possible eating disorder. Contrary to expectations, the total score of the DASS-21 was not correlated with the EAT-26 score (p = .930), while no statistically significant correlations were recorded between the dimensions of the two questionnaires.

Conclusion: The small sample size is a major limitation of the study that probably affected the finding of statistically significant correlations between the main research variables. Future research can focus on more representative samples in the Greek working population, examining in more detail the relationship between eating disorders and work-related stress.

Methods: A systematic search was carried out on psychological and bio-medical databases from inception to July 2023. Only original articles, written in English, assessing the impact of temperament and parenting on childhood internalising and externalising problems before the age of 9 were included.

Results and Discussion: Out of an initial pool of 868 records, a total of 190 records were deemed eligible for full-text screening, and 21 studies were included in the narrative synthesis. Of the 16 studies that explored both parent and child influences, all but one found a joint effect of parent and child variables on the outcomes. Multiple studies found evidence for temperament as a moderator in the relationship between parenting and mental health outcomes, but there was also evidence of moderating and mediating effects of parenting on internalising and externalising problems in childhood.

Conclusion: The findings of this review highlight that both parenting and child temperament play a role in internalising and externalising difficulties and the importance of considering both contributions of child temperament and parenting behaviours in developmental psychopathology research. However, whilst we can conclude parenting and child factors play a role in these difficulties, deciphering the specific traits and how they interact requires further exploration. Future studies should consider the importance of recruiting nationally representative samples or over sampling from disadvantaged communities and increasing the presence of fathers within the literature on parenting.

Objective: This study constructed a knowledge co-construction model for smart learning communities.

Method: This study used the grounded theory research method.

Results and Discussion: The optimization iteration of knowledge co-construction as \"value provision that matches individual interests and community goals → value definition of self-organizing exploration → value presentation of topic focus → value proliferation of knowledge innovation\" is summarized.

Conclusion: The experiential dominant logic of value co-creation and self-organizing system theory are used to analyze this model’s element structure and correlation mechanism. Based on this, suggestions for promoting knowledge co-construction to achieve sustainable community development are proposed.

Methods: The research involves a qualitative analysis of ten carefully selected proverbs that focus on the themes of beginnings and endings. The study employs a deconstructionist approach to examine the layered meanings and cultural significance of these sayings, revealing their relevance to human resilience and growth.

Results: The analysis uncovers the inherent dualities and paradoxes embedded in these proverbs, illustrating how they reflect the intertwined challenges and opportunities presented by transitions. The findings highlight the cyclical nature of growth and renewal, emphasizing the interconnectedness of beginnings and endings in human experience. Beginnings and endings are more than mere moments; they are mirrors reflecting the paradoxes of human existence. Proverbs about life's transitions unravel profound truths, revealing the duality of opportunity and challenge.

Discussion: This study reveals how proverbs serve as cultural tools for navigating life’s transitions, blending timeless wisdom with practical resilience. They reflect human adaptability while preserving collective knowledge across generations. However, the limited sample size and lack of empirical validation highlight avenues for future research. Despite these constraints, the findings affirm proverbs’ enduring role in framing life’s cyclical nature and universal human experiences.

Conclusion: By exploring the complexities of transitions through the lens of proverbs, this study deepens the understanding of human nature and the universal patterns of change. It underscores the value of these timeless expressions as tools for navigating life's challenges and opportunities, fostering a richer appreciation of the human journey.

Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature on behavioural change and its links to digital ICTs is undertaken. This is followed by an analysis of quantitative data collected from just under 100 novel eco-app users to explore what they found useful, what they found troublesome, and what forced them to reject and uninstall such apps.

Results: Findings identified an overcrowded marketplace as a barrier to success. Attrition is also an issue of concern in encouraging digital intervention lifestyle change, with some revealing they would uninstall apps if they affected the operation and running of their device, or if the services on offer were irrelevant to their needs at a particular time.

Conclusion: The study concludes by outlining recommendations and guidelines for best practices in future digital interventions for promoting sustainable behavioural change specifically using mobile digital apps.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between May and September 2023 with 321 Italian young adults (69.8% female; mean age = 20.97 years), who completed the 29-item Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire for Young Adults (MHLq-YA). Validity and reliability were assessed using Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses (EFA and CFA). Pearson correlations examined associations between MHL and socio-demographic variables.

Results: The Italian version of the MHLq-YA demonstrated strong psychometric properties, confirming a four-factor structure and high internal consistency. Female participants and those with personal exposure to mental health problems had significantly higher MHL scores. Younger individuals were more likely to endorse misconceptions and stereotypes about mental health.

Discussion: These findings support the MHLq-YA as a valid and reliable instrument for assessing MHL in Italian youth. The observed associations with gender, age, and personal experience emphasize the importance of targeted educational approaches to improve MHL.

Conclusion: The validated Italian MHLq-YA offers a culturally appropriate tool for measuring mental health literacy among young adults. It can inform the development of tailored interventions, educational programs, and public health campaigns aimed at enhancing mental health awareness and reducing stigma in Italy’s youth population.

Methods: We conducted a mixed-methods evaluation by utilizing pre- and post-intervention surveys completed by youth participants and qualitative interviews with social work interns, teachers, and club staff. Quantitative data collection employed validated scales measuring depression, anxiety, resilience, and social connectedness. Qualitative interviews explored experiences with the program, implementation challenges, and recommendations for improvement.

Results: Quantitative findings indicated a significant reduction in depressive symptoms and a substantial increase in resilience among middle school students. At Boys & Girls Clubs, a significant improvement in social connectedness was observed. Qualitative results underscored the value of trusting relationships with adults, the creation of safe spaces, and the importance of tailored interventions. However, stakeholders noted challenges such as inconsistent communication and limited parental engagement.

Discussion: The SYR program’s effectiveness in reducing depressive symptoms and enhancing resilience highlights the significance of school- and community-based mental health interventions. Qualitative findings reinforce quantitative results and emphasize the necessity of supportive adult relationships and collaborative approaches. Identified challenges related to communication and parental involvement point toward areas for program enhancement and future research.

Conclusion: The evaluation of the SYR program demonstrates its potential to effectively enhance youth resilience and mental health within underserved communities. The study emphasizes the critical importance of accessible, culturally responsive, and integrated mental health interventions delivered through collaborative school and community partnerships.

Methods: Logistic regression models are employed to data from the Mental Health Million Project (2021) and other socio-economic indices. The analysis investigates correlations between MHQ and various factors, including economic participation, educational attainment, health and survival, Political empowerment, GDP, HDI, GHSI, CCPI, and MPI.

Results: The results illustrate a positive relationship among MHQ and female economic participation and opportunity; it also implies mental health is connected to women workforce involvement. However, educational attainment harms MHQ, probably because unmitigated pressure leads to dim psychological health. Consequently, Health and Survival demonstrate positive connections to MHQ, whereas political empowerment and principal development indicators (GDP, HDI, GHSI, CCPI) show negative correlations. Belonging to MPI means a majority of the time, the more MHQ, which denotes better mental health, is a reality but sometimes, even if you have more MPI it does not mean worse mental health.

Discussion: Our analysis reveals that economic prosperity does not necessarily lead to better mental or social well-being. Indicators like GDP, HDI, GHSI, and CCPI, which are often seen as markers of national success, show a negative correlation with the MHQ. Interestingly, the MPI exhibits a positive association with MHQ, suggesting that economic hardship does not always equate to poorer mental health.

Conclusion: The study highlights the complex interplay between socio-economic development and mental health. The results suggest that economic growth alone is insufficient to improve mental well-being. Policymakers should adopt a holistic approach that balances economic, psychological, and social factors to enhance global mental health outcomes.

Objective: The study dovetails with attitudinal, satisfaction, and socio-economic variables and aims to identify significant factors behind favorable attitudes towards wife beating in India. The paramount importance is placed on understanding the link between attitude towards wife beating and satisfaction variables such as happiness, life satisfaction, and financial satisfaction.

Methods: The discussion is based on the 6th wave of the World Values Survey (WVS) and revolves around the question, “How justified do you think for a man to beat his wife?”. The responses were coded on a 1 to 10 scale where 1 means never justified and 10 means always justified. The analysis included 3070 responses comprising 1345 female and 1725 male respondents. The ordered logit regression technique was used to explain variation in attitudes towards wife beating.

Results and Discussion: In India, men rule culturally. In reality, a collision between culture and modernization continues to occur. There are variables, such as employed women, educated, religious, urban residents, and information literate, that reduce the incidence of wife beating. In this study, the statistical analysis reveals that a favorable attitude toward wife beating is more or less an urban, pro-rich, upper-caste phenomenon. Women and religious persons are against wife beating. Though respondents of higher income deciles favor wife beating, respondents who are financially satisfied and happy in life oppose wife beating. The higher the level of happiness and financial satisfaction, the more likely individuals are to oppose violence against women.

Conclusion: The findings confirm that happier people are prosocial and against domestic violence. Happy women have strong sentiments against the violence of beating women. It can be surmised that improvement in satisfaction variables can restrict social evils like wife beating.

Methods: A structured survey was conducted across 13 Local Health Units (ASLs), with 10 providing complete data, covering 1,664 adults with ASD. The questionnaire, distributed by the Regional Health Department to adult autism centers (NDPSA), explored organizational development, service provision, interagency collaboration, clinical assessments, and interventions.

Results: Findings demonstrated a widespread network of services across the territory, suggesting the feasibility and scalability of the LF model. Nevertheless, areas needing improvement were identified, particularly in the standardization of care practices and service delivery.

Discussion: These findings align with existing literature emphasizing the importance of continuity of care, person-centered planning, and community-based support in ASD. The LF model shows promise in addressing complex needs across the lifespan. However, limitations include variability in implementation and potential gaps in professional training. Further research is needed to refine protocols and assess long-term outcomes.

Conclusion: The Life Project model represents a promising approach to ASD care, emphasizing autonomy, multidisciplinary coordination, and territorial integration, though further efforts are needed to enhance the standardization and quality of services.

Methods: This review analysed recent literature on psychosocial determinants, lifestyle influences, and emerging therapeutic interventions for ED.

Results: Psychosocial factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, and social stigma significantly contribute to the onset and persistence of ED, often exacerbating underlying physiological causes and discouraging affected individuals from seeking treatment. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, including poor diet, physical inactivity, substance abuse, and sleep disturbances, are also independently associated with an increased risk of ED.

Discussion: Advances in treatment now extend beyond pharmacotherapy, incorporating novel approaches such as low-intensity shockwave therapy, stem cell therapy, and digital health interventions. These developments reflect a paradigm shift in ED management.

Conclusion: This review underscores the importance of adopting a holistic, biopsychosocial approach to the assessment and treatment of ED, integrating psychological, social, and lifestyle factors with emerging medical therapies to optimize patient outcomes.

Methods: Students' health literacy levels were assessed using the 16-item short form of the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16). This instrument evaluates perceived ease or difficulty in obtaining, understanding, evaluating, and applying health information across three domains: health care, disease prevention, and health promotion.

Results: The mean health literacy score among students in this study was 46.95 ± 6.86. A Chisquare test was performed to analyze the relationship between students’ pharmacy courses or pharmacy degrees and their knowledge levels, and the results were found to be significant (p = 0.001 for both). Overall, approximately 72.4% of students demonstrated excellent health literacy.

Discussion: Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to assess the factors influencing decision-making preferences among pharmacy students. The results showed that degree, age, and course had a significant effect on the ability to apply health information (p = 0.001, 0.002, and 0.001, respectively), whereas gender did not have a significant effect on the health information application score (p = 0.780).

Conclusion: Higher education is often linked to improved health literacy and a greater desire to participate in healthcare decisions. This study provided new insights into how health literacy affects pharmacy students' functioning and overall health.
