This community case study examines the 3for1 intervention program, a multidisciplinary intervention designed to support individuals affected by unemployment experiencing psychological distress. The program integrates short-term psychotherapy, job coaching based on the approach of Individual Placement and Support (IPS), and peer support. Thus, individuals affected by complex and interrelated psychosocial challenges can find support through individ…
Pre-qualifications, learning strategies, and study satisfaction among medical students
INTRODUCTION: Although medical students with pre-medical qualifications (e.g., paramedic training) may enhance diversity within the student body, they have received little attention in international research. Their prior experience may influence study satisfaction through different learning strategies or working alongside their studies. This study investigates how pre-qualifications relate to three dimensions of study satisfaction (content, condi…
Job-search self-efficacy in unemployed individuals with mental health issues
Unemployed individuals with mental health issues frequently struggle to find re-employment. The relevance of self-stigma, that is, applying public stigma toward mental health issues to oneself, has been under-researched in this context, but might provide valuable insights into why finding re-employment is particularly challenging for these individuals. Drawing on the “why try” effect of self-stigma and the conservation of resources theory, we exa…
Stress management training for managers in small and medium-sized enterprises (KMU-GO)
Before including the first participant, the KMU-GO trial is registered at the German Clinical Trial Register (DRKS): DRKS00023457 (registered on 5 November 2020)
Leader-member exchange differentiation and followers’ psychological strain
Due to social comparison in the team, leader-member exchange (LMX) differentiation has been shown to play a crucial role for explaining follower outcomes. LMX differentiation may be beneficial for some followers, but also detrimental for others, when perceived as unfair. In order to understand the impact of LMX differentiation on work-related outcomes, LMX differentiation should be described by three properties (relative LMX position, LMX variabi…
Leaders' mental health and leader‐member exchange
INTRODUCTION: Research on leader-member exchange (LMX) has shown that the relation between leaders and followers may be considered from different angles. Leaders may form individual relationships with followers (LMX quality), may agree with their followers on these relationships (LMX agreement), and may form different relationships within their work group (LMX variability). We posit that leaders' mental health may function as an antecedent for th…
Conventional weight loss therapy in morbid obesity during Covid-19 pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, baseline mental health of people with morbid obesity was not worse than before the pandemic. Additionally, the BWL intervention in the virtual video-based setting stabilized and improved physical and mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic
Insights into discrepancies in professional identities and role models in undergraduate medical education in the context of affective burden
Our study adds to the growing body of knowledge on professional identity formation in medicine and socialisation in the medical environment. The study highlights the importance of discrepancies between self-image and ideal image in the experience of depressive and anxiety symptoms. Primary prevention-oriented approaches should incorporate these findings to promote reflective competence in relation to professional role models and strengthen the re…
Unveiling social relationships
The study highlights the particular challenges faced in the healthcare sector. The results emphasize that the perceived importance of social relationships at work can play a key role in healthcare professionals' job stress and underline the need for stress prevention programs that engage both leaders and followers
Effectiveness of a three-component intervention supporting unemployed individuals with mental health issues in their job search and mental health recovery (3for1)
This trial is registered with the German Clinical Trials Register: DRKS00029002 (registered on 11 May 2022)
What helps hospital staff in times of crisis
Background: Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, hospital workers faced a tremendous workload. The pandemic led to different and additional strain that negatively affected the well-being of employees. This study aims to explore psychosocial resources and strategies that were used by hospital staff. Methods: In the context of an intervention study, employees of three German hospitals were questioned in writing in summer and fall 2020. Five open-ende…
Student tutors go online’ - Investigation of cognitive and social congruence in online student tutorials - a longitudinal study
The concept of peer-assisted learning (PAL) has been implemented at many medical faculties. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, parts of the medical education experience transitioned to digital formats. However, little is known about PAL and online student tutorials. PAL is effective due to cognitive and social congruence. This study aims to investigate these concepts in an online student tutorial on taking a patient's medical history. This longitudina…
Coping Styles Among High School Graduates Aiming to Study Medicine in Dealing With Depressive and Anxious Symptoms
Background: Psychological distress, its associated stressors and resilience factors, and the implications derived for the education and training of medical students and physicians have long been the subject of international studies. The study presented here investigated affective symptoms in association with coping styles in the earliest phase of University medical education: high school graduates aiming to study medicine. Materials and Methods: …
Qualitative analysis of cognitive and social congruence in peer-assisted learning – The perspectives of medical students, student tutors and lecturers
Cognitive and social congruence may be displayed on the practical behavioural level. Trust in student tutor could be found in both concepts on different levels. The qualitative results provide a deeper insight by indicating that the student tutors may play a 'mediator' role for the relationship between students and lectures
A Comparison of Stress Perception in International and Local First Semester Medical Students Using Psychometric, Psychophysiological, and Humoral Methods
(1) Medical doctors and medical students show increased psychological stress levels. International medical students seem to be particularly vulnerable. (2) We compared different methods of assessing stress levels in international and local first year medical students. First, study participants completed questionnaires related to stress, depression, empathy, and self-efficacy (MBI, PSQ, PHQ-9, JSPE-S, and GSE) at three separate points in time (T1 …
Reducing Stress and Promoting Social Integration of International Medical Students through a Tandem Program
Medical students, and especially international medical students (IMS), have been shown to experience more psychological distress than the general student population in Germany. In order to address these issues, a structured Tandem Program (TP) to reduce stress and foster social integration of IMS has been introduced at the Medical Faculty of Tuebingen. The Tandem Program was evaluated prospectively with perceived stress (PSQ-20) as the main outco…
Behaviour-based functional and dysfunctional strategies of medical students to cope with burnout
The identified behavioural-based functional coping strategies suggest that social support and active relaxing exercises seem to be very important possibilities for medical students to reduce stress and exhaustion. The use of drugs and alcohol for stress reduction raises concerns. Programs are recommended to improve resilient behaviour and to impart the identified functional coping strategies to medical students
