“…Well‐being, assessed with the PMH‐scale, seems to be of special relevance to positive psychological functioning. As such, previous studies found the PMH‐scale to be among the most important predictors of remission from suicide ideation (Teismann et al, ) as well as anxiety disorders (Teismann, Brailovskaia, Totzeck, et al, ; Vriends et al, ).…”

The Integrated Motivational-Volitional (IMV) Model of suicide posits that the association between perceptions of entrapment and suicide ideation is buffered by socalled motivational moderators. The present study investigated, whether positive mental health as well as different facets of psychological well-being qualify as motivational moderators. Possible moderator effects were investigated in an online sample (N = 301). Results demonstrated that positive mental health and psychological wellbeing moderate the association between entrapment and suicide ideation. These findings underscore the importance of entrapment and positive psychological functioning in understanding pathways to suicide ideation.

“…Particularly for individuals who are used to experience a high level of daily stress at home and at work, the change of the environment and the avoidance of their daily routine may foster the enhancement of mental health and therefore contribute to the explanation of present findings. Considering that depressiveness and insomnia are positively linked to the main disorders the inpatients suffer from (Abad & Guilleminault, 2005; Longitudinal links of addictive Facebook use Zisook et al, 2006), and PMH was previously shown to be a protective factor that may reduce negative symptoms (Teismann, Brailovskaia, Totzeck, et al, 2018;Teismann, Forkmann, et al, 2018), those changes are of great importance for the success of the clinical treatment and the overall recovery process of inpatients. Current results revealed that addictive Facebook use was positively associated with depressiveness and insomnia.…”

“…In a further student sample, PMH significantly mediated the impact of cyberbullying on suicide ideation and suicide behavior (Brailovskaia, Teismann, & Margraf, 2018a). Several studies described PMH to serve as an important predictor of remission of mental disorders, such as specific phobia, panic disorder and agoraphobia in community samples (Lukat, Becker, Lavallee, van der Veld, & Margraf, 2017;Trumpf, Becker, Vriends, Meyer, & Margraf, 2009) and in outpatients (Teismann, Brailovskaia, Totzeck, Wannemüller, & Margraf, 2018). On this background, we hypothesized that PMH could mediate the relationship between addictive Facebook use and variables of negative dimension of mental health.…”

Background and aims: Individuals with high level of negative mental health often tend to use the social platform Facebook to escape from daily stress. They are at risk to develop an emotional bond to Facebook linked to a need to stay permanently online. The current work investigated addictive use of Facebook and its conceptual framework in clinical context. Methods: In a longitudinal study design, duration of daily use of Facebook, addictive Facebook use, depressiveness, insomnia, and positive mental health (PMH) were assessed in a sample of 349 inpatients [M age (SD age) = 50.13 (9.41)] of a psychosomatic rehabilitation clinic in Germany over a period of on average 6 weeks. Results: Regression analyses revealed that duration of daily Facebook use at the first measurement time point (T1) served as significant positive predictor of addictive Facebook use at the second measurement time point (T2). Addictive Facebook use (T1) significantly positively predicted depressiveness and insomnia (T2). Its prediction of PMH (T2) was significantly negative. Mediation analyses showed that PMH (T1) partially mediated the association between addictive Facebook use (T1) and depressiveness (T2), and fully mediated the relationship between addictive Facebook use (T1) and insomnia (T2). Discussion and conclusions: Current longitudinal results indicate that addictive Facebook use might negatively impact the recovery process of inpatients. Thus, it might be relevant to assess and consider addictive Facebook use in the clinical context. Therapeutic interventions are suggested to focus on the enhancement of inpatients' PMH level, which may buffer the negative effect of problematic Facebook use.

“…Following research in the field of mental wellbeing over the past two decades, the literature linking mental disorders with components of mental well-being has increased. Higher levels of PMH are also found to be associated with positive outcomes such as lesser suicidal ideation [15], symptom severity [16,17], and better remission [17]. This is clearly an indication that PMH can interact and transform the effect of mental disorders and related health outcomes.…”

Background: The link between mental illness and mental health is gaining focus in research and practice. This study aimed to investigate the association of mental disorders with positive mental health (PMH), overall health and quality of life. In addition, the role of PMH in mediating the relationships between mental disorders and health outcomes was assessed. Methods: The study sample comprised 2270 residents aged 18 years and above who participated in a nationally representative, cross-sectional survey estimating the lifetime prevalence of mood, anxiety and alcohol use disorders, and health outcomes (self-reported overall health, quality of life and PMH) in Singapore. The Positive Mental Health Instrument was used to estimate the level of Total PMH among the respondents with and without mental disorders. Associations between mental disorders and health outcomes were assessed through regression models. Path analyses were conducted to investigate mediating role of PMH. Results: Total PMH (Mean ± SD) was significantly lower among individuals having any of the studied lifetime mental disorders (4.23 ± 0.64 versus 4.50 ± 0.67 among those without these disorders). Although having a mood or anxiety disorder was associated with significantly lower Total PMH even after controlling for socio-demographic characteristics, similar relationship was not observed for alcohol use disorders. History of any mental disorders was also associated with lower overall health and quality of life. Total PMH mediated the relationships between mental disorders and overall health and quality of life by reducing the effect sizes for the associations between mental disorders and these health outcomes. Conclusions: Mental disorders were associated with poor health outcomes in affected individuals. This study showed that PMH can mediate the relationships between mental disorders and health outcomes, and act as an underlying mechanism to improve overall health and quality of life in individuals with mental disorders. Findings thus highlight the significance of incorporating mental health promotion and interventions in clinical populations.
