“…Firstly, the uniformly high stress levels across all residency years in our study, possibly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, may have obscured any year-specific variations. Additionally, cultural factors in Iran, such as potential underreporting due to mental health stigma, could have influenced residents' reporting of mental health issues, masking any differences in suicidal ideation [55]. Lastly, the composition and size of our sample, particularly the subgroups for each residency year, might not have been sufficient to detect significant differences.…”

Background The mental health of medical residents, challenged by their intensive training, is of utmost concern. In light of reported suicides among Iranian medical residents in 2021, this study investigates the factors behind suicidal ideation among medical residents during the COVID-19 pandemic in Tehran. Methods This study conducted a cross-sectional online survey among medical residents in various specialties in Tehran, Iran, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Suicidal ideation was assessed using the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSSI), while depression, anxiety, and stress were measured using the DASS-21. It also collected demographic and clinical data from the participants. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test, and multiple linear regression to examine the prevalence and determinants of suicidal ideation among medical residents. Results The study enrolled 353 medical residents and found that 34.3% of them had suicidal ideation, with 10.2% indicating a high risk. The study also found high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress among the participants. The variables that significantly predicted suicidal ideation were depression, history of alcohol/substance use, personal history of suicide attempts, history of self-mutilation, family history of suicide attempts, number of shifts in a month, death of close persons because of COVID-19, and income. Depression was the strongest predictor of suicidal ideation. Conclusion These findings underscore the urgent need for effective interventions and support systems to address the mental health needs of medical residents in Iran. The strategies should prioritize destigmatizing mental health, promoting access to mental health services, fostering a supportive training environment, and enhancing income opportunities.

“…Mental health professionals working in psychiatric settings face various stressors in their roles, which can negatively impact their physical, mental, and emotional well-being ( 1 , 2 ). During crises like the COVID-19 pandemic or other challenging conditions, these effects can worsen, increasing the risks of stress, burnout, moral injury, and mental health issues among healthcare workers ( 3 , 4 ).…”

the Research TopicThe experiences of mental health professionals in psychiatric settings Mental health professionals working in psychiatric settings face various stressors in their roles, which can negatively impact their physical, mental, and emotional well-being (1, 2). During crises like the COVID-19 pandemic or other challenging conditions, these effects can worsen, increasing the risks of stress, burnout, moral injury, and mental health issues among healthcare workers (3,4). Despite these recognized challenges, there has been limited attention in the literature to promoting the health and well-being of mental health professionals (5). Indeed, their experiences in psychiatric centers, facilities, and hospitals remain relatively unexplored and little data is available (6). Of relevance is the topic of the occupational exposure to suicide, since it significantly contributes to suicidality, particularly among mental health professionals and first responders during their duties (7). For the purpose of this research topic, we have included in the definition of mental health professional each health care practitioner or social and human services provider who offers services for the purpose of improving an individual's mental health or to treat mental disorders, therefore including students/trainees or residents, paramedical professionals (e.g., housing staff), as well as psychiatrists and psychologists.Therefore, in this Research Topic, we aimed to collect articles dealing with the firsthand experiences, difficulties, frustration, and motivation of mental health professionals in psychiatric and psychological settings. Our goal has been to identify potential risk factors and effective strategies for supporting the mental health, as well as to improve their work, of these professionals through self-care and evidence-based interventions. Additionally, we sought to gather evidence highlighting the necessity for organizational measures, policies, and systemic changes. We finally included five papers dealing with this theme from different viewpoints.Bloemendaal et al. presented the results of the CRITical Incidents and aggression in Caregivers (CRITIC) Study, which investigates the impact of childhood adversity and benevolence on the professional quality of life (ProQOL) of frontline psychiatry staff. This cross-sectional survey involves 360 participants from clinical and forensic psychiatry, exploringFrontiers in Psychiatry frontiersin.org 01

W artykule podjęto się szczegółowej analizy organizacji przestrzennej szpitali psychiatrycznych znajdujących się na terenie Łodzi. Jego podstawą jest badanie case study przeprowadzone z zastosowaniem metodologii jakościowej (analiza wizualna i obserwacja). Omawiane w artykule przypadki są prezentowane jako dwa charakterystyczne dla Polski rodzaje szpitali psychiatrycznych, których analiza służy zrozumieniu znaczenia sposobu ich organizacji dla społecznego postrzegania osób z chorobą psychiczną. W artykule znajdują się również odwołania do prac kluczowych dla zrozumienia problematyki chorób psychicznych, ich leczenia w instytucjach totalnych oraz roli społecznego wytwarzania przestrzeni. Zestawienie wyników analizy case study z wcześniej wspomnianymi koncepcjami pozwoliło na wskazanie możliwych sposobów oddziaływania organizacji przestrzennej szpitali psychiatrycznych na sposób ich postrzegania.
