Background: Positive mental health (PMH) forms the basis of well-being and positive mind set, which includes a range of cognitive-emotional attributes and coping skills of an individual towards the family and society. Assessment of PMH in psychiatric patients is critical in understanding their needs, improving mental health and the treatment of their illnesses.Aim: To investigate the levels of PMH among patients attending the outpatient department at a public sector tertiary referral psychiatric hospital using the multidimensional PMH instrument.Setting: Adult psychiatric patients attending the outpatient department at a public sector tertiary referral hospital, Gauteng province, South Africa.Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted using a multi-dimensional PMH instrument with a convenient sample of 346 outpatients who provided consent.Results: Females reported significantly high PMH scores (3.86 vs 3.6; p = 0.018) compared to males. Patients with higher education (Gr. 0–7 vs Gr. 8–12 vs Tertiary education, PMH scores 3.34 vs 3.75 vs 4.18; p 0.001), being married (single vs married, 3.67 vs 3.81, p = 0.342) and employed (unemployed vs employed, 3.62 vs 3.97, p = 0.005) reported significantly high total PMH score and across various domains.Conclusion: The results of the study highlighted the multi-dimensionality of mental health and justified importance of evaluating the domains of PMH in mental health care users. Identifying the reasons for the deficits in the PMH domains and implementing coping strategies will improve the emotional and psychological well-being of patients.Contribution: Examining the PMH domains will assist healthcare workers intervene to improve the mental health of patients.

Background Leadless pacemakers are widely used, but the quality of life assessment of patients with leadless pacemakers is still unclear. Hypothesis Assume that leadless pacemakers can improve the patients' quality of life. Methods Total of 119 patients who received pacemaker implantation at Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2020 to March 2022 were selected, including 35 leadless pacemakers and 84 conventional pacemakers. The SF‐36 questionnaire was used to evaluate quality of life at baseline, 1 month and 3 months after surgery. We also used a questionnaire consisted of 4 specific questions related to the implant procedure to assess the surgery. Results There were no differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups, except for age and oral anticoagulant treatment. There was no difference in baseline SF‐36 scores. At the 3‐month follow‐up, patients in leadless pacemakers group were significantly better at physical function (63.63 vs 47.50, p = .000), role physical (60.20 vs 40.23, p = .000), bodily pain (65.57 vs. 61.69, p = .042), physical component summary (61.25 vs. 50.57, p = .000), vitality (56.26 vs 49.57, p = .001), social function (80.14 vs 74.70, p = .004), role emotional (76.14 vs. 71.42, p = .015), mental health (75.46 vs. 68.18, p = .000), mental component summary (72.00 vs. 65.97, p = .000), even after adjusting for clinical baseline and SF‐36 baseline. Pacemaker‐related discomfort and mobility limitations were significantly reduced in leadless pacemakers group. Conclusions Leadless pacemakers is associated with better quality of life with less activity limitations due to surgical discomfort and less emotional distress. However, current use of leadless pacemakers in China is limited due to the high cost.
