“…A lower sense of belonging was associated with both history of prior suicide attempts and suicidal ideation, and with the severity of depression and hopelessness (Fisher et al, 2015). Thwarted belongingness, when high, along with perceived burdensomeness (feeling like a burden for others) mediated a stronger effect of distress on suicidal ideation (Gill et al 2023). The effect was more important for burdensomeness.…”

Spending time in nature or simply watching a video or photos from nature seems to improve self-centeredness, becoming aware of personal needs and means to satisfy them. It also has a restoring effect on cognitive functions and the human brain. Fewer studies were conducted on how spending time in nature affects the sense of belonging and the appreciation of other people. The article presents the results of an experiment involving first year Clinical Psychology students participating in a Health Psychology and Psychosomatics course. The participants in the experimental group watched a film presenting the life of several families of animals and birds in the wilderness. Afterwards, they completed two measures: one for the sense of belongingness and the other with awe for the significant people in their life. The control group only completed the questionnaires as part of regular activities. The results show that, after watching the film from wilderness, the feelings of timelessness, the physiological aspects and greatness of awe towards a significant other were significantly affected, while feelings of Self, connectedness, feeling accepted/included or rejected/excluded showed no significant differences for the two groups.

“…Men are expected to be strong, independent, and emotionally resilient, which can make it difficult for them to express feelings of vulnerability or seek help when they are struggling. This may contribute to a greater sense of strain, as they may feel that they are not living up to social and family expectations, in addition to the fact that, unlike women, they tend not to have a reliable social support network ( 15 ).…”

BackgroundThe concept of entrapment has been highlighted as a transdiagnostic element that manifests itself in disorders such as depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Although research has been conducted in different contexts independently, a comprehensive multi-country study to assess gender differences in entrapment through network analysis has not yet been carried out. The objective of this study was to evaluate the entrapment network in men and women at the multinational level.MethodsA sample of 2,949 participants, ranging in age from 18 to 73 years from six countries (Germany, Iran, Spain, Slovakia, El Salvador, and Peru), was considered. They completed the entrapment scale. A network analysis was performed for both men and women to identify the connectivity between indicators and the formation of clusters and domains, in addition to the centrality assessment in both sex groups.ResultsThe study findings revealed the presence of a third domain focused on external interpersonal entrapment in the network of men and women. However, in relation to the interconnectivity between domains, variations were evidenced in both networks, as well as in centrality, it was reported that men present a greater generalized entrapment in various aspects of life, while women tend to experience a more focused entrapment in expressions of intense emotional charge.ConclusionThe multinational study identified variations in the structure of entrapment between genders, with three domains (internal, external, and external-interpersonal) and differences in the interaction of indicators and groupings, as well as discrepancies in centrality.

“…However, most females living in refugee settlements are deprived of pursuing further studies and are already lagging in their academic journey due to the escaped insurgencies. On the other hand, psychological distress, which can be exacerbated by poor social support structures and economic disadvantages, such as those within refugee camps, have been linked to an increased persistence of self-harm ideations [ 5 , 6 , 25 ]. Additionally, adolescent sexual and reproductive health challenges, including lack of education and information on sexual risks, early pregnancy, restricted access to services, and stigma surrounding sexual health, may also heighten the risk of persistent self-harm ideations [ 26 – 31 ].…”

Background Self-harming ideations demand targeted research due to their persistent nature, especially among female adolescents within refugee populations who face unique challenges that can exacerbate self-harming tendencies. This study aimed to assess the factors associated with self-harming ideations chronicity among female teenagers living in refugee settlement in Northern Uganda. Method This cross-sectional study used a pretested questionnaire to assess self-harming ideations and other demographic characteristics. Ordinal logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with chronicity of self-harm ideations. Results Of 385 participants, the prevalence of self-harming ideations was 4.2% (n = 16) for acute, 8% (n = 31) for subacute, and 3.1% (n = 12) for chronic. The likelihood of having more chronic self-harming ideations increased with having ever been pregnant (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 3.78, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] = 1.57–9.08). However, having a spouse as the family head reduced the likelihood of having more chronic self-harming ideations (aOR = 0.19, 95% CI = 0.04–0.95). Conclusions The persistence of self-harming thoughts among female teenagers in Northern Ugandan refugee settlements varies. Pregnancy history is associated with a higher chance of prolonged self-harming thoughts while having a spouse as the family’s head is linked with a lower likelihood. Examining different demographic and familial elements when addressing the mental well-being of female teenage refugees is vital. It stresses the necessity for customized interventions and support networks targeting the reduction of self-harm behaviors among this vulnerable group.
