Pearls of wisdom. Maternal guidance for navigating grief after loss of one twin from a multiple birth pregnancy
Loss of a child from a multiple birth pregnancy presents unique challenges due to the simultaneous experience of grieving the child who died while caring for the surviving child. Peer support is valuable for bereaved parents, yet little research has explored this within the context of multiple birth loss. This study examined the 'pearls of wisdom' that mothers would offer to fellow bereaved parents. Eighteen mothers were recruited from a private …
Dynamics of psychological distress
Overall, these findings suggest that the variation in psychological distress between the waves was mostly influenced by social support, loneliness, and social activities, rather than by exposure to COVID-19. Mitigation policies aimed at controlling the pandemic should focus more on addressing specific individual psychosocial vulnerabilities
Informal caregiving and mental health
Our findings suggest that the stress of caregiving is more directly related to the nature and intensity of the caregiving tasks themselves rather than the demographic characteristics of the caregivers. Interventions aimed at reducing the adverse effects of caregiving might need to be universally applicable to all caregivers, focusing on reducing the intrinsic burdens of caregiving tasks rather than targeting demographic subgroups
Specialized mental healthcare use for common mental disorders and prescription of antidepressants before and during the Covid-19 pandemic among working-age refugees and Swedish-born individuals – a na…
Refugees, especially those already in a marginalized position, had increased CMD-related mental healthcare use during the pandemic. Strategies to meet the mental health care needs of marginalized refugees are of outmost public health importance

Trauma Exposure, Social Support and Mental Health in the General Population in Belgium
Introduction: International research has shown that trauma exposure can lead to mental health disorders and affect social support. However, there is little insight into trauma exposure and its related issues in the general population of Belgium. Methods: Secondary cross-sectional data on the general adult population were retrieved from the Belgian Health Interview Survey. Using a representative sample, data were collected on trauma exposure in th…
Local Wisdom of Vernacular Settlements
Natural disasters pose a serious threat to human life, and understanding mitigation is key to reducing their negative impact. This research explores the role of folklore as a means of instilling an understanding of disaster mitigation. It examines how values in folklore can shape the attitudes and actions of the community regarding disaster mitigation. In reality, the significant role of folklore in instilling an understanding of disaster mitigat…
Post Covid-19 condition and health-related quality of life
With the growing number of people infected with SARS-CoV-2, PCC and its impact on HRQoL are becoming important public health issues. To allow people with PCC to recover and to limit its detrimental impact on HRQoL, it is essential to manage its various heterogeneous symptoms using a multidisciplinary approach
The direct disease burden of Covid-19 in Belgium in 2020 and 2021
COVID-19 had a substantial impact on population health in Belgium, especially in 2020, when COVID-19 would have been the main cause of disease burden if all other causes had maintained their 2019 level
Implementation of a computer-assisted face-to-face intervention for mapping the social support networks of patients with severe mental illness in routine clinical practice
BACKGROUND: Social support is a key dimension of personal recovery for patients with severe mental disorders. Although clinicians and health professionals should monitor the social support resources of patients in order to provide effective treatment, no specific tool or intervention exist for that purpose. Egonet is a computer-assisted intervention for health and social services that enables the mapping, assessment and fostering of patients' soc…
Use of generic social services and social integration of patients with a severe mental illness in Belgium
BACKGROUND: Patients with severe mental illnesses (SMI) have low levels of social integration, which could be improved if they used social services. To our knowledge, however, the extent to which they use generic social services remains unknown. AIMS: We assessed the extent to which patients with SMI use generic social services and the factors that may drive that usage. METHOD: = 517, participation rate = 53%) in 19 networks of services, covering…

Mental Distress and Its Contributing Factors Among Young People During the First Wave of Covid-19
Background: The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and its associated measures led to high levels of mental distress in the general population. Previous research indicated that young people are especially vulnerable for a wide range of mental health problems during the pandemic, but little is known about the mechanisms. This study examined mental distress and its contributing factors among young Belgian people. Methods: An online survey wa…
Measuring mental health burden in humanitarian settings
BACKGROUND: The effects of disasters and conflicts are widespread and heavily studied. While attention to disasters' impacts on mental health is growing, mental health effects are not well understood due to inconsistencies in measurement. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to review mental health assessment tools and their use in populations affected by disasters and conflicts. METHOD: Tools that assess posttraumatic stress disorder, depress…
Victims of bullying
The objective is to analyze the perception of bullying victims in Physical Education. This research will help detect own characteristics of physical education to which professionals must pay special attention, to identify and avoid cases of bullying. The sample consists of three people victims of bullying in High School, who were interviewed following a semistructured interview. The analysis of these interviews was carried out using the content a…
OP39 Protection by BCG Against Tuberculosis
Setting Reasons for variation in BCG protection against tuberculosis are not well understood. We therefore estimated the protection provided by BCG vaccination against tuberculosis and examined reasons for variation in different settings. Methods We systematically searched English and non-English articles in 10 databases from inception to May 2009 as well as sources such as Google Scholar and trial registers to October 2009. Search terms included…
Trends in educational inequalities in smoking and physical activity in Canada
BACKGROUND: In Canada levels of smoking have decreased and levels of physical activity have increased over the last 20 years. However, little research has examined if educational inequalities in either of these important health determinants have changed. METHODS: A secondary analysis of Canadian population-based surveys from 1974 through to 2005 was conducted. The prevalence of both smoking and physical activity across educational groups for both…
Youth exposure to smoking in the home and in cars
It is common for Canadian youth to be exposed to SHS in their homes or while in cars on a frequent basis even though the vast majority of youth do not think smoking should be allowed around children in those locations. This new evidence suggests that programs and policies designed to prevent individuals from smoking around youth in these locations should be a public health priority
Loulou
In appending to his admirable life of Sir William Harcourt, published in 2004 (Harcourt and Son: A Political Biography of Sir William Harcourt, 1827–1904), a volume of extracts from the journals of Harcourt's son and confidential coadjutor, Patrick Jackson is towing a cockle-boat in the wake of a battle-cruiser. ‘Loulou’ Harcourt's journals, running from 1880 (when he was seventeen) to 1895, with a five-year gap from 1887 to 1892, are primarily t…
Disraeli's Disciple
The life of a man whose reputation depends on a charm which is irrecoverable and a potential which was never realised cannot be easy to write. We have to take George Smythe's charisma and talents largely on trust, on the testimonials of his friends, not least Disraeli, portraying him in Endymion as Waldershare, whose conversation was ‘a rhapsody of fancy, fun, knowledge, anecdote, brilliant badinage—even passionate seriousness’. The seriousness w…
An Experiment on the Measurement of Political Knowledge in Surveys
In a series of articles, Mondak and colleagues argue that the conventional way of measuring political knowledge in surveys is flawed. Personality related "propensity to guess" underestimates the level of political knowledge in the population and distorts estimates of between group differences, when a DK alternative is offered. This has led Mondak to recommend the use of closed-ended items on which DKs are not explicitly offered, following best pr…
Harcourt and Son
Sir William Harcourt's failure to become prime minister and Liberal leader in succession to Gladstone in 1894, his curmudgeonly behaviour to the winner, Rosebery, and the impression that he lacked settled political goals have confined him to a more obscure place in the history of his party than he merits. A.G. Gardiner's two-volume life appeared over eighty years ago, and Patrick Jackson's fresh, scholarly and lucidly written study, viewing Harco…

Peer Education
A peer education program emphasizing male responsibility in decreasing sexual assault led to a decrease in rape tolerant attitudes among high school students immediately following a 45-minute presentation. Trained high school students presented information on sexual assault risk reduction, rape culture, sexual assault law, how to help a friend who has been assaulted, and male responsibility in preventing sexual assault. Whereas the scores of fema…

Attempted suicide in social networks
It is generally agreed that a suicidal attempt commonly represents a bid by the patient to com- municate his distress to key figures in his intimate social group (Stengel and Cook, 1958; Farberow and Shneidman, 1961). An implication of this view is that such acts may function as a 'language' employed within such a group in situations where other groups would use less pathological forms of communication. The 'language' component of the act can be …

The Nature of Myths
Among the many subjects that come within the range of social anthropology, the one dealt with in this article may at first glance seem the remotest from the border area between biology and social anthropology, the least apt "to reveal a basic problem of bio-anthropology." Is not the realm of myth that of those incorporeal beings called gods? A realm where the laws of matter and of life are abolished? The one in which thought takes seemingly unres…

Training Teachers in Human Sexuality
The current study investigated the extent to which a 9-wk. course on human sexuality for teachers changed their knowledge and attitudes. Significant changes were found from the pre- to post-course assessment on both measures of knowledge. The only significant change in attitude scores, however, was on the Autoeroticism Attitude Scale. This pilot program encourages further exploration of the differences in methodological approaches and the long-te…
