The impact of a psychiatric training on stigma towards mental illness in undergraduate medical students
BACKGROUND: Stigma toward mental illness remains common among medical trainees and may influence clinical care, help-seeking behavior, and interest in psychiatry as a career. This study examined the impact of a 7-week psychiatry rotation on medical students’ attitudes toward psychiatry, stigma toward mental illness, help-seeking attitudes, mental health service utilization, and psychological distress. METHODS: Sixth-year medical students at the U…
The unique contribution of Schizotypal personality subscales to psychotic-like experiences and social-personality factors in Hong Kong community youths
The study highlights the replicability of subclinical schizotypy traits in Hong Kong youths. Each of the three factors had overlapping and unique associations with psychopathological and social-personality outcomes that can predispose individuals to mental ill health
A multidisciplinary expert consensus on optimal acute adult psychiatric inpatient care in Hong Kong
Introduction: The number of psychiatric inpatient beds has been significantly decreased since the deinstitutionalisation movement began in the 1950s. Subsequent efforts have largely focused on developing psychiatric services based on community mental health models. However, optimal clinical care standards require minimum inpatient care capacities and effective integration between inpatient and community psychiatric care. Methods: To establish the…
Breakfast skipping and depressive symptoms in an epidemiological youth sample in Hong Kong
Breakfast skipping is associated with elevated depressive symptoms in young people, with impaired attentional control being an important mechanism in this relationship. Encouraging young people to build regular breakfast habits may be incorporated as part of future lifestyle interventions for mental disorders and be further emphasised in public health policies
Resilient, undercontrolled, and overcontrolled personality types in Hong Kong youths and the association with mental health outcomes
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between RUO types and mental health in a youth sample in Hong Kong. BACKGROUND: Previous research has found that Resilient, Undercontrolled, and Overcontrolled (RUO) personality types derived from Big Five personality traits are associated with mental health outcomes. Most studies, however, have predominantly been conducted in Western societies. METHOD: Clinical diagnostic interviews and…
Systematic review and meta-analysis of internalised stigma and stigma resistance in patients with psychosis
The modulation effect of cognition on mentalization in late-life depression
The current study is the first study to explore the relationship between cognition and SRGP in the LLD population. Our study findings suggested that the cognitive function of LLD patients may contribute to the modulation of interpretation bias, which in turn underlie the role of SRGP bias. Greater SRGP bias in patients may reflect social cognition deterioration, impairing the social interaction and functioning of LLD patients. This highlights the…
Impact of restrictive Covid-19 measures on daily momentary affect in an epidemiological youth sample in Hong Kong
Unpacking the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between ideal-actual self-discrepancy, stressful life events, depression and anxiety
BACKGROUND: Self-discrepancy is associated with poorer mental health, yet its mechanism is understudied. A recent study found that resilience plays a moderating role in the relationship between self-discrepancy and depressive symptoms in adults. The current study investigated whether there were any similar relationships among young people aged 15 to 24 years. METHODS: As part of the ongoing Hong Kong Epidemiological Study of Mental Health (HK-YES…
Double stigma in mental health service use
BACKGROUND: Ethnic minorities (EMs) typically underutilise mental health services (EMs) with issues that are not shared by the local population. Understanding the underlying perceived factors could help reduce their mental health disparities. AIMS: This is a qualitative study aiming to examine the barriers that prevent EMs from seeking mental health services in Hong Kong. METHODS: Six semistructured focus groups with 31 EMs who resided in Hong Ko…
Comparison of stigmatizing views towards Covid-19 and mental disorders among adolescent and young adult students in China
The stigma of mental disorders is higher in the youth population than the stigma of COVID-19. Factors associated with stigmatizing attitudes toward people with COVID-19 and mental disorders varied across the youth. Stigma-reduction interventions among the youth should be targeted specifically to COVID-19 or mental disorders conditions
Effort-based decision making in schizotypy and its relationship with amotivation and psychosocial functioning
Our findings indicate subtle effort-allocation abnormalities in schizotypy individuals with high levels of diminished motivation, and suggest the link between laboratory-based effort-cost measures and real-world functional outcome
Cognitive subgroups and the relationships with symptoms, psychosocial functioning and quality of life in first-episode non-affective psychosis
Our results affirmed cognitive heterogeneity in FEP and identified three subgroups, which were differentially associated with demographic and illness-related variables. Further research should clarify longitudinal relationships of cognitive subgroups with clinical and functional outcomes in FEP
Rate and correlates of self-stigma in adult patients with early psychosis
More than one-fourth of early psychosis patients experienced significant self-stigma, highlighting an unmet need for early detection and intervention of self-stigma in the initial years of illness. Further investigation is warranted to clarify trajectories and predictors of self-stigma in the early illness course
Managing treatment resistance in schizophrenia
Clozapine delays occur in spite of clinicians' familiarity with treatment guidelines. More research is needed to guide the use of augmentation strategies and the search for effective treatments beyond clozapine
Chinese women who use force against husbands in Hong Kong
Many women who use force (WuF) against their husbands are driven by their emotions towards husbands’ physical abuse, coercive control or neglect. Despite the ongoing development and expansion of support for domestic violence in Hong Kong, the number of WuFs against their husbands has been increasing, indicating a gap between service availability and women’s participation in these services. This study aims to further our understanding of WuF’s mot…
Perception of social support and psychotic symptoms among persons with schizophrenia
Background: Improving patients’ perception of social support is significant not only for their re-adaptation to life but also for alleviating caregivers’ burden. Aim: This study aims to examine an integrated model regarding social support, psychotic symptoms and caregiver burden. Methods: Persons with schizophrenia ( N 1 = 300) and their family caregivers ( N 2 = 300) in Xinjin County, Chengdu, China, completed the survey to report their demograp…
A population study of public stigma about psychosis and its contributing factors among Chinese population in Hong Kong
PURPOSE: Public stigma is an important barrier to the recovery of patients with psychosis. This study aimed to explore public stigma associated with a newly adopted Chinese name for psychosis 'si-jue-shi-tiao' in a representative Chinese population in Hong Kong, focusing on factors contributing to public stigma. Exposure to mass media and its relationship with the stigma were explored in detail. METHODS: Random telephone survey of general populat…
Reducing discriminatory attitudes toward people living with HIV/Aids (PLWHA) in Hong Kong
The present paper describes the development and evaluation of an intervention programme aiming to reduce adolescents' discriminatory attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). The intervention programme integrates components of 'virtual interaction' with PLWHA (watching a documentary), knowledge enhancement and a simple cognitive exercise. To evaluate its effectiveness, the programme was implemented to about 600 form 3-4 (grade 9-10) s…
