The assessment of post-pandemic gender-specific mental health issues and their relation to global crises are of current interest. Methods: A repeated cross-sectional design screened self-reported mental health in terms of anxiety, depression, and general …

Segmenting Preventive Health Behavior
Grounded in health behavior theory, this study examined patterns of preventive health behavior in a culturally diverse, multilingual region of northern Italy using data from a representative population survey (n = 2090). Preventive behaviors were assessed using the 16-item Good Health Practices (GHP-16) scale. Latent profile analysis (LPA) identified five behavioral profiles, ranging from ‘Globally Low Engagers’ to ‘Comprehensive High Engagers’. …
Health Literacy Gaps Across Language Groups
Health literacy is crucial for effectively navigating health systems and promoting equitable health outcomes. Multilingual and culturally dual regions present unique challenges for health communication; however, disparities in health literacy within such contexts remain insufficiently explored. This study constitutes the first population-based assessment of health literacy in Alto Adige/South Tyrol, a bilingual province in northern Italy, utilizi…
The Interplay of Politics and Conspiracy Theories in Shaping Vaccine Hesitancy in a Diverse Cultural Setting in Italy
Vaccine hesitancy presents a significant challenge to public health, particularly in culturally diverse regions, such as South Tyrol, Italy. This article examines the interplay between political influences, conspiracy theories, and vaccine hesitancy in South Tyrol, an autonomous province characterised by its linguistic diversity and historical scepticism toward central authority. This study aimed to identify the important drivers of vaccine hesit…
Health Information Use and Trust
The acquisition of reliable health information plays a pivotal role in shaping informed decision-making and health-related behaviours. This investigation examined the factors influencing health information use and trust in health information sources among the adult population in South Tyrol, Italy, employing a population-based cross-sectional survey ( n = 2090). Descriptive analyses revealed sociodemographic disparities, with younger individuals …
Spirituality, Conspiracy Beliefs, and Use of Complementary Medicine in Vaccine Attitudes
Distinct spiritual attitudes and convictions may promote scepticism towards medical interventions, potentially influencing vaccine attitudes. This study investigated the impact of spirituality and CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) use on perceptions of vaccine harmfulness, with a focus on COVID-19 and mandatory childhood vaccinations. Additionally, it examines whether spirituality indirectly influences vaccine hesitancy through CAM use…
Impact of Digital Media, School Problems, and Lifestyle Factors on Youth Psychosomatic Health
The psychosomatic well-being of children and adolescents did not improve after the pandemic. These findings indicate the need for targeted interventions, improved health literacy, and ongoing monitoring to support the mental well-being of this vulnerable population. Reducing screen time remains a critical strategy for enhancing youth well-being
Relational Coordination at the Primary–Secondary Care Interface
Understanding the dynamics of teamwork and communication among healthcare professionals is crucial in the face of evolving healthcare challenges. This study assessed relational coordination among healthcare professionals in the South Tyrolean healthcare system in Italy, focusing on communication and teamwork dynamics in a cross-sectional survey. Using the validated Relational Coordination Survey (RCS) instrument and 525 completed online responses…

Transforming care for pregnancy loss
Recent years have seen significant growth in the body of knowledge and the development of guidelines on pregnancy loss. This qualitative study analyses how these advancements have been implemented with a focus on health literacy, hospital protocols, and societal responses. Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews from bereaved parents (n = 11) and healthcare professionals (n = 7) in Italy uncovers significant lapses in health literacy and …
Evolution of Youth’s Mental Health and Quality of Life during the Covid-19 Pandemic in South Tyrol, Italy
The characteristics of the 2021 pandemic, including lockdowns and home schooling, may have contributed to the differences between the two surveys. As most pandemic restrictions ended in 2022, the results confirm the need for measures to improve the mental and physical health of children and adolescents after the pandemic

Quality of Life and Mental Health in Children and Adolescents after the First Year of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Confirmation of findings of decreased health-related quality of life and increased emotional problems after the first year of the pandemic supports the ongoing call for low-threshold health promotion, prevention, and early intervention programs to support children and adolescents who have been severely affected by the pandemic
Who Is Watching the Children? A Quantitative Analysis of Strategies for Reconciling Work and Parenting during Lockdown in Northern Italy
(1) Background: In their efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, most countries closed schools and kindergartens. To date, little is known about the strategies of working families reconciling work and parenting during repeated lockdown situations. (2) Methods: We performed a quantitative survey of working parents in Italy during a week of 'hard lockdown' in February/March 2021. (3) Results: 3725 voluntary adult participants from different hous…
We're in This Together
The global handling of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the lack of intergenerational public health solutions. Discontinuity of educational and health care services and environmental threats increase various pathologies and may provoke long-term health damage among the youngest. Unbalanced generational approaches within health policies have been evident before the pandemic and will continue to be a global challenge as both acute and chronic …
Are quality promotion initiatives in Austrian and Italian general practices associated with higher patient satisfaction and quality of life? Results from the interventional study ‘IQuaB’
The objective was to assess the changes in quality of life (QoL) and patient satisfaction of chronically ill patients in general practices in Salzburg (Austria) and South Tyrol (Italy) after implementation of a combined intervention addressing quality of care of general practitioners (GPs). Furthermore, the correlation between QoL/patient satisfaction and quality of care provided by the GPs (measured by a quality score based on quality indicators…
