The Italian version of the Female Genital Self-Image Scale: Psychometric properties and associations with sexual function and psychological health
Since its initial development, the Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS) has been translated into various languages, including Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Thai, Spanish, and Swedish, but no Italian translations are currently available. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the first Italian translation of the FGSIS, named FGSIS-It—including its factor structure, internal consistency, and convergent validity—and to ex…
The impact of endometriosis on educational and professional pathways: A cross-sectional online study
Symptoms of endometriosis often emerge during adolescence and intensify in early adulthood, critical periods for educational and career development. However, evidence on its impact on women’s broader life trajectories, particularly in education and work, remains limited. This study aimed to examine how endometriosis influences these trajectories and to identify the underlying factors and mechanisms involved. This cross-sectional study was conduct…
Mental Health Issues as a Consequence of the Pandemic: Group Psycho-Educational Intervention to Support Patients Recovered from Covid-19 Infection
Common psycho-physical symptoms have emerged in patients who were previously recovered for COVID-19 infection, including traumatic experience and enduring emotional disturbances. A group psycho-educational intervention of seven weekly sessions and a follow-up after three months was proposed to all Italian-speaking patients formally discharged from a public hospital in northern Italy and physically recovered from infection. Eighteen patients were …
Predictors of Postpartum Depression among Italian Women: A Longitudinal Study
Our findings highlight the importance of providing stable programs (such as educational programs) to mothers in the first year postpartum. Furthermore, because the quality of the childbirth experience is one of the most important predictors of PPD at 12 months postpartum, effort should be made by healthcare professionals to guarantee a positive experience to all women to reduce possible negative long-term consequences of this experience
Intimate Partner Violence in the Covid-19 Era: A Health, Psychological, Forensic and Legal Perspective
This commentary aims to provide a multidisciplinary framework on intimate partner violence (IPV) during the COVID-19 pandemic (with a specific focus on the most predominant form of gender-based violence, i.e., male violence towards women), commenting on the multiple negative consequences of the pandemic on gender violence and providing elements of effective practice. We searched literature for reports/studies on the issue of IPV during the COVID-…
Psychological impact and health-related quality-of-life outcomes of Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome: A systematic review and narrative synthesis
Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome causes absence or underdevelopment of uterus and vagina, but women’s subjective experience remains understudied. This systematic review was conducted to examine the psychological and health-related quality-of-life outcomes of Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome. In total, 22 articles identified through electronic search matched the inclusion criteria and were included in our review. Mayer–Rokitansky–Küs…
A woman's worth: The psychological impact of beliefs about motherhood, female identity, and infertility on childless women with endometriosis
In this study, we examined whether beliefs regarding motherhood, female identity, and infertility affected the psychological health of 127 childless endometriosis patients. Anxiety and depression were measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, while self-esteem was assessed using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. A set of six Likert-type items (1 = "Not at all"; 5 = "To a very great extent") was developed to explore women's beliefs.…
Psychosexual Consequences of Female Genital Mutilation and the Impact of Reconstructive Surgery: A Narrative Review
Free butterflies will come out of these deep wounds: A grounded theory of how endometriosis affects women's psychological health
This study aimed to develop a grounded theory of how endometriosis affects psychological health. Open interviews were conducted with 74 patients. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was administered to all women, who were divided into distressed versus non-distressed. At the core of our grounded theory was the notion of disruption due to the common features of living with endometriosis. Experiencing disruption (vs restoring continuity) invo…
Group Interventions for Children Having Separated Parents: A Systematic Narrative Review
The aims of this article are to review the current body of knowledge on group interventions for children with separated or divorced parents and to provide new insights into the evaluation of their efficacy. This review draws on a method of systematic narrative review (SNR). We provide a narrative synthesis of evidence from 29 studies conducted between 1980 and 2014, which were included in the SNR consistently with the inclusion criteria establish…
Researching Lived Experience of Drugs and Crime: A Phenomenological Study of Drug-Dependent Inmates
This study identified the main components of the drugs and crime experience of a sample of 25 drug-dependent inmates interviewed in prison. Text analyses were conducted using a phenomenological method. The sample was characterized by a disruptive childhood in multi-problematic families and deviant social contexts where drug use and crime were considered normal since early adolescence. Drug initiation involved recreational use of dance drugs and/o…
An estimation of the number of cells in the human body
Knowing the total cell number of the human body as well as of individual organs is important from a cultural, biological, medical and comparative modelling point of view. The presented cell count could be a starting point for a common effort to complete the total calculation
Effects of Benefit‐Focused Versus Standard Expressive Writing on Adolescents' Self‐Concept During the High School Transition
This randomized trial compared two types of expressive writing—benefit‐focused versus standard expressive writing—with a factual writing (control) condition in enhancing adolescents' self‐concept during the transition to high school. First‐year male students ( N = 201) wrote on three consecutive days about either the potential benefits of the school transition, their deepest thoughts and feelings about this transition, or their school activities.…
