Subjective Well-Being, Emotional Intelligence, and Mood of Parents: A Model of Relationships. Impact of Giftedness
2020
The well-being of parents could be either a protective or risk factor for themselves or their children. Our objective is to analyse the affective components of subjective well-being (SWB), emotional intelligence (EI), and parental mood.

We assess whether parents&rsquo
Galvassāpju izplatība Latvijas Universitātes medicīnas studentu vidū
2022
Ievads: Galvassāpju traucējumi, galvenokārt primārie, tiek uzskatīti par nopietnām globālām veselības problēmām, kas izraisa ievērojamu invaliditātes slogu slimniekiem, lai arī paradoksālā kārtā, bieži tiek ignorēti un nenovērtēti. Cilvēki savos produktīvajos gados irvisvairāk skartā grupa, un to vidū ir arī studenti. Mērķis: Pētījuma mērķis bija apkopot Latvijas Universitātes medicīnas studentu galvassāpju epidemioloģiskos un klīniskos raksturojumus, lainoteiktu cefalģijas izplatību, novērtētu riska faktorus, provocējošos faktorus, galvassāpju ietekmi un to mazināšanu ar medikamentiem, kā arī noskaidrot iespējamos iemeslus, kādēļ pētāmā populācija izvairās no specializētas galvassāpju trau…
Online prevention programmes for university students: stakeholder perspectives from six European countries
2021
Abstract Background Students beginning university are at a heightened risk for developing mental health disorders. Online prevention and early intervention programmes targeting mental health have the potential to reduce this risk, however, previous research has shown uptake to be rather poor. Understanding university stakeholders’ (e.g. governing level and delivery staff [DS] and students) views and attitudes towards such online prevention programmes could help with their development, implementation and dissemination within university settings. Methods Semi-structured interviews, focus groups and online surveys were completed with staff at a governing level, university students and DS (i.e.…
Effect of Socio-Economic Status on Quality of Life in People Affected with Respiratory Allergy
2013
In the present study we investigated the impact of respiratory allergy on quality of life in young people, and examined whether socio-economic status modifies the above dependence. The study was conducted in 458 female and 363 male university students, aged 18–25. Information on socio-economic status (SES) was collected using a questionnaire. The occurrence of allergy was determined on the basis of answers to the questions whether the allergy and specific allergens were medically diagnosed. Quality of life (QoL) was based on the Polish version of the SF-36 test. Respiratory allergy or respiratory and food allergy were declared by 19.2 % of women and 19.0 % of men.

Smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) in psychiatric patients and student controls: A real-world feasibility study
2020
Abstract Background Smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a promising methodology for mental health research. The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of smartphone-based active and passive EMA in psychiatric outpatients and student controls. Methods Two smartphone applications —MEmind and eB2— were developed for behavioral active and passive monitoring. The applications were tested in psychiatric patients with a history of suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors (STB), psychiatric patients without a history of STB, and student controls. Main outcome was feasibility, measured as response to recruitment, retention, and EMA compliance. Secondary outcomes were…
Ergonomic Risk Assessment of Dental Students—RULA Applied to Objective Kinematic Data
2021
Musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) is already prevalent in dental students despite their young age and the short duration of dental practice. The current findings state that the causes of MSD are related to posture during dental work. This study aims to investigate the ergonomic risk of dental students. In order to analyze the ergonomic risk of dental students, 3D motion analyses were performed with inertial sensors during the performance of standardized dental activities. For this purpose, 15 dental students and 15 dental assistant trainees (all right-handed) were measured in a team. Data were analyzed using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), which was modified to evaluate objective data.…
Experience of medical students mentoring in an acute geriatric unit: Use of evidence-based medicine
2019
International audience; n a retrospective study, we studied the learning experience of second and third year undergraduate medical students in the acute geriatric unit of a University Hospital.Students who did not receive Evidence based medicine (EBM) classes had lower grades than those who did in the final theoretical and practical evaluations (p < .01).Our experience suggested that the implementation of EBM in the curriculum through small, structured semiology courses tailored to the specificities of the elderly improved Evidence based practices for undergraduate medical students. EBM should improve instruction and mentoring during undergraduate students' clinical rotation.
Does Physical Activity Matter for the Mental Health of University Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic?
