University student wellbeing during Covid-19
Our findings highlight the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on university student wellbeing and suggest that COVID-19 infection prevalence and associated social isolation measures may have uniquely influenced different aspects of wellbeing. More research is needed to assess causality, while accounting for other potential socio-economic and academic factors
Shamanism
The cross-cultural practice of shamanism reflects an innate capacity for altered states of consciousness (ASC's) that are elicited by stress, deliberately sought in shamanic rituals, and associated with psychopathology. Shamanic sickness, animal transformation, and death-rebirth experiences specifically resemble psychotic experiences. The triggers of shamanic and psychotic experiences are also related, but while psychotic experiences endure and i…
The trajectory of psychedelic, spiritual, and psychotic experiences
Fruitful comparison of psychedelic, spiritual, and psychotic experiences requires a degree of phenomenological nuance. Some shared features of these phenomena, such as encounters and communications with supernatural entities, are obfuscated by scientific and clinical terminology. Other supposed distinctions are based on an atemporal view of dynamic experiences. In Section 2 of this theory-building paper, we examine how the trajectory of the psilo…
Reactivations Associated with the Use of 5-MeO-DMT Among Spanish-Speaking Individuals
5-Methoxy- N,N -dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) is a psychedelic gaining interest as a potential mental health treatment. However, a poorly characterized phenomenon termed reactivation (similar to "flashbacks") is commonly reported with 5-MeO-DMT use and merits investigation. This study examined the prevalence, predictors, and emotional valence of reactivations among Spanish-speaking individuals. Specifically, we investigated whether gender, time …
Are women really (not) more talkative than men? A registered report of binary gender similarities/differences in daily word use
Women are widely assumed to be more talkative than men. Challenging this assumption, Mehl et al. (2007) provided empirical evidence that men and women do not differ significantly in their daily word use, speaking about 16,000 words per day (WPD) each. However, concerns were raised that their sample was too small to yield generalizable estimates and too age and context homogeneous to permit inferences beyond college students. This registered repor…
A mixed-method evaluation of implementation determinants for chaplain intervention in a hospital setting
Healthcare chaplains address broad social and emotional dimensions of care within a pluralistic religious landscape. Although the development and evaluation of chaplaincy interventions has advanced the field, little research has investigated factors influencing the implementation of new chaplain interventions. In this mixed-method study, we examined attitudes about evidence-based interventions held by chaplain residents (n = 39) at the outset of …
Hospital Chaplain Burnout, Depression, and Well-Being during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Healthcare personnel experienced unprecedented stressors and risk factors for burnout, anxiety, and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. This may have been particularly true for spiritual health clinicians (SHCs), also referred to as healthcare chaplains. We administered a daily pulse survey that allowed SHCs to self-report burnout, depression, and well-being, administered every weekday for the first year of the pandemic. We used a series of …
From Suffering to Salvation
The diverse nature of religious and spiritual experiences (RSEs) eludes easy comparison or conceptualization. Here we explore the phenomenological, situational and conceptual principles that connect eighty-two diverse RSE reports from the Hardy Database (https://alisterhardytrust.uwtsd.ac.uk/). We tentatively suggest that in addition to being unexpectedly significant and imbued with social percepts, messages and emotions, a variety of diverse RSE…
Loneliness and time alone in everyday life
Loneliness—the subjective experience of social isolation—is a common experience that can become an enduring feature of everyday life. How does feeling lonely relate to spending time alone? In this descriptive-exploratory study, we used the Electronically Activated Recorder (EAR), a naturalistic observation tool that samples sounds from participants’ daily lives, to assess time spent alone as an index of social isolation. We combined data from thr…
Effects of Naturalistic Psychedelic Use on Depression, Anxiety, and Well-Being
Survey-based studies suggest naturalistic psychedelic use provides mental health benefits similar to those observed in clinical trials. The current study sought to confirm these findings in a large group of psychedelic users and to conduct a novel examination of associations between amount of psychedelic use and behavioral outcomes, as well as frequency of harms ascribed to psychedelic use. A cross-sectional, online survey was completed by 2,510 …
Reactivations after 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine use in naturalistic settings
These findings suggest that reactivation phenomena, in this particular sample may most often represent a neutral or positive byproduct of the acute 5-MeO-DMT experience. More information is needed to best identify individuals most likely to experience a reactivation as a negative event to prevent such potential challenging outcomes
Compassion Meditation Training for Hospital Chaplain Residents
This study examines the effectiveness of incorporating compassion meditation training into a clinical pastoral education (CPE) curriculum to enhance compassion satisfaction and reduce burnout among hospital chaplain residents. Specifically, a longitudinal, quasi-experimental design was used to examine the impact of Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT), a group-delivered compassion meditation intervention. Hospital chaplain residents (n = …
Mixed-Method Evaluation of the Public Health Questionnaire for Estimating Depression Among Tibetan Buddhist Monastics
Background: Depression is the largest source of global medical disability, highlighting the importance of translating and validating depression screening instruments to improve our understanding of differences in the prevalence of depression in divergent cultures around the world. The aim of this study was to translate and evaluate a widely used depression screening and diagnostic instrument, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), for use wi…
Incivility Is Associated with Burnout and Reduced Compassion Satisfaction
While oncology clinical research coordinators (CRCs) experience a combination of factors that are thought to put them at increased risk for burnout, very little research has been conducted to understand the risk factors associated with burnout among CRCs. We used a mixed-method approach, including self-report questionnaires to assess burnout and compassion satisfaction, as well as individual and interpersonal variables hypothesized to impact CRC …

Cognitively‐Based Compassion Training for parents reduces cortisol in infants and young children
This study tests a group‐based secular contemplative practice intervention, Cognitively‐Based Compassion Training (CBCT), with parents of young children. We report on a randomized controlled preliminary efficacy study. Certified teachers administered CBCT for 20 hr across 8 to 10 weeks in two cohorts of parents with infants and young children. The intervention group was compared to a waitlist control group. Thirty‐nine parents and their children,…
Peripheral cytokine and chemokine alterations in depression
Objective To conduct a systematic review and meta‐analysis of studies that measured cytokine and chemokine levels in individuals with major depressive disorder ( MDD ) compared to healthy controls ( HC s). Method The PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE , and PsycINFO databases were searched up until May 30, 2016. Effect sizes were estimated with random‐effects models. Result Eighty‐two studies comprising 3212 participants with MDD and 2798 HC s met inclusion …

Psychiatric Comorbidity in Persons With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Identified From the Georgia Population
OBJECTIVE: To compare the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in persons with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) identified from the general population and a chronically ill group of people presenting with subsyndromic CFS-like illness ("insufficient symptoms or fatigue" (ISF)). Previous studies in CFS patients from primary and tertiary care clinics have found high rates of psychiatric disturbance, but this may reflect referral bias rather than true …
