  • Trusting in times of the Covid-19 crisis

    Open AccessDjordje Basic, Diana Czepiel et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2025

    Previous research has highlighted the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers’ (HCWs) mental health, yet protective factors remain underexplored. Emerging studies emphasize the importance of trust in government and interpersonal relationships in reducing infections and fostering positive vaccine attitudes. This study investigates the relationship between HCWs’ trust in the workplace and government and depressive symptoms du…

  • Inequality on the frontline

    Open AccessDiana Czepiel, Clare Mccormack et al.ARTICLECambridge Prisms Global Mental…2024

    Healthcare workers (HCWs) were at increased risk for mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic, with prior data suggesting women may be particularly vulnerable. Our global mental health study aimed to examine factors associated with gender differences in psychological distress and depressive symptoms among HCWs during COVID-19. Across 22 countries in South America, Europe, Asia and Africa, 32,410 HCWs participated in the COVID-19 HEalth…

  • The validity of the BDHI translated into Papiamento in pre-trial defendants in Curaçao

    Open AccessMicha van de Vorst, Janique Martier et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Law and…2023

    The Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI) is an important assessment scale of hostility in forensic psychiatry. We analyzed the validity and reliability of a Papiamento translation of the BDHI in 134 pre-trial defendants in Curaçao using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM). The reliability of the Direct and Indirect Hostility BHDI-P subscales were good and the reliability of the Social Desirability poor. There was a negative correlat…

  • Metabolic syndrome in adults with autistic traits

    Open AccessEva B Warreman, L A Nooteboom et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

  • The Association Between Exposure to Covid-19 and Mental Health Outcomes Among Healthcare Workers

    Open AccessDiana Czepiel, Hans W Hoek et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Due to the unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on health care systems, there has been great interest in the mental wellbeing of healthcare workers. While most studies investigated mental health outcomes among frontline vs. non-frontline healthcare workers, little is known about the impact of various work-related variables. The present study aimed to examine the association between work-related [i.e., having contact with COVID-19 patient…

  • Course of psychotic experiences and disorders among apprentice traditional health practitioners in rural South Africa

    Open AccessMartine Van Der Zeijst, Martine C E van der Zeijst et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    In rural KwaZulu-Natal, psychotic experiences, symptoms and disorders have a benign course in most individuals who are undergoing the process of becoming a THP. Ukuthwasa may be an effective, culturally sanctioned, healing intervention for some selected individuals, potentially because it reframes distressing experiences into positive and highly valued experiences, reduces stigma, and enhances social empowerment and identity construction. This im…

  • Social Defeat, Psychotic Symptoms, and Crime in Young Caribbean Immigrants to Rotterdam

    Open AccessDavid J Vinkers, Micha van de Vorst et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2021

    Background: The negative experience of being excluded from the majority group (social defeat) may be associated with psychosis in immigrants. The social defeat hypothesis is supported by the high frequency of perceived discrimination and acculturation problems in psychotic immigrants. In addition, social defeat may lead to crime through social problems such as unemployment, school dropout, a broken family structure, or psychotic symptoms. Methods…

  • Do early-life eating habits predict later autistic traits? Results from a population-based study

    Open AccessMaarten van ’t Hof, Maarten van 't Hof et al.ARTICLEAppetite2021Referências: 59

    Eating problems are common among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but it is unknown to what extent infant eating behavior is associated with later autistic traits. As eating behavior is currently not included in ASD screening instruments, it is important to evaluate whether infant eating behavior predicts later autistic traits and might therefore be used to enhance the early detection of ASD. We investigated the association of breast…

  • Psychopathology among apprentice traditional health practitioners

    Open AccessMartine Van Der Zeijst, Wim Veling et al.ARTICLETranscultural Psychiatric…2021Citada por: 3Referências: 43

    Sociocultural context seems to influence the epidemiology, phenotype, treatment, and course of psychosis. However, data from low- and middle-income countries is sparse. This research is part of a multidisciplinary and multimethod study on possible mental disturbances, including hallucinations, among (apprentice) traditional health practitioners (THPs) who have experienced the 'ancestral calling to become a THP' in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Afric…

  • Ancestral calling, traditional health practitioner training and mental illness

    Open AccessMartine Van Der Zeijst, Wim Veling et al.ARTICLETranscultural Psychiatry2021Citada por: 5Referências: 36

    This qualitative ethnographic study complements an epidemiological study on first episode psychosis in Vulindlela, a rural area in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It focuses on two themes that emerged from our data: (1) the calling of the ancestors to become a traditional health practitioner and (2) ukuthwasa, the training to become a traditional health practitioner. The purpose of this study is to describe the ancestral calling, and to explore whet…

  • Novel Insights into Autism Knowledge and Stigmatizing Attitudes Toward Mental Illness in Dutch Youth and Family Center Physicians

    Open AccessMaarten van ’t Hof, Maarten van ‘t Hof et al.ARTICLECommunity Mental Health Journal2020Referências: 50

    Professionals' limited knowledge on mental health and their stigmatizing attitudes toward mental illness can delay the diagnosis of autism. We evaluated the knowledge on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and stigmatizing attitudes in 93 physicians at Dutch Youth and Family Centers (YFC). These physicians screen for psychiatric symptoms in children. We show that their general ASD knowledge scored 7.1 (SD 1.2), but their specific ASD knowledge was onl…

  • Global, regional, and national age-sex-specific mortality and life expectancy, 1950–2017

    Open AccessDaniel Dicker, Grant Nguyen et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2018

    BACKGROUND: Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the United States Census Bureau, WHO, and as part of previous iterations of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD). Previous iterations of the GBD used population estimates from UNPOP, which were not derived in a way that was internally consistent wit…

  • Global, regional, and national age-sex-specific mortality for 282 causes of death in 195 countries and territories, 1980–2017

    Open AccessGregory A Roth, D Abate et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2018

    BACKGROUND: Global development goals increasingly rely on country-specific estimates for benchmarking a nation's progress. To meet this need, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 estimated global, regional, national, and, for selected locations, subnational cause-specific mortality beginning in the year 1980. Here we report an update to that study, making use of newly available data and improved methods. GBD …

  • Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 84 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks for 195 countries and territories, 1990–2017

    Open AccessJeffrey D Stanaway, Ashkan Afshin et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2018

    BackgroundThe Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 comparative risk assessment (CRA) is a comprehensive approach to risk factor quantification that offers a useful tool for synthesising evidence on risks and risk–outcome associations.
