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…
Prevalence and correlates of suicidal ideation in the general public during the fifth wave of Covid-19 pandemic in Hong Kong
A significant proportion of people experienced suicidal ideation during the peak of fifth COVID-19 wave. Risk and protective factors identified would facilitate early identification of high-risk individuals and provision of targeted interventions to minimize suicidal ideation and risk of self-harm. Caution should be exercised due to study limitations of a cross-sectional design which precluded establishing causality among variables, and reliance …
Relationships between psychopathological symptoms, pandemic-related stress, perceived social support, and Covid-19 infection history
Our findings indicate that specific interventions targeting interpersonal conflicts and concentration problems as well as facilitating stress buffering effects of social support may represent effective strategies to reduce psychological distress in university/college students during COVID-19 and should be considered for future pandemic preparedness
Impact of restrictive Covid-19 measures on daily momentary affect in an epidemiological youth sample in Hong Kong
Sleep problems in children with autism spectrum disorder in Hong Kong
In summary, autistic children suffered from significantly more sleep problems and co-occurring separation anxiety disorder brings greater sleep problems as compared to non-autistic children. Clinicians should be more aware of sleep problems to provide more effective treatments to children with autism
Prevalence and correlates of subjective cognitive impairment in Chinese psychiatric patients during the fifth wave of Covid-19 in Hong Kong
Almost half of the sample of psychiatric patients reported cognitive complaints during fifth-wave of COVID-19 in HK. Greater depressive and PTSD-like symptom severity, and maladaptive (avoidant) coping were found as correlates of SCI. COVID-19 related factors were not independently associated with SCI in psychiatric patients. Early detection with targeted psychological interventions may therefore reduce psychological distress, and hence self-perc…
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
Altered Risk-Taking Behavior in Early-Stage Bipolar Disorder With a History of Psychosis
Altered risk-taking propensity is an important determinant of functional impairment in bipolar disorder. However, prior studies primarily assessed patients with chronic illness, and risk-taking has not been evaluated in the early illness course. This study investigated risk-taking behavior in 39 euthymic early-stage bipolar disorder patients aged 16-40 years who were treated within 3 years from their first-episode mania with psychotic features an…
Depression and post-traumatic stress during major social unrest in Hong Kong
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…
