Abstract Mental health is a significant issue worldwide, and the utilization of technology to assist mental health has seen a growing trend. This aims to alleviate the workload on healthcare professionals and aid individuals. Numerous applications have been developed to support the challenges in intelligent healthcare systems. However, because mental health data is sensitive, privacy concerns have emerged. Federated learning has gotten some attention. This research reviews the studies on federated learning and mental health related to solving the issue of intelligent healthcare systems. It explores various dimensions of federated learning in mental health, such as More >

Abstract Depression is a prevalent mental health issue affecting individuals of all age groups globally. Similar to other mental health disorders, diagnosing depression presents significant challenges for medical practitioners and clinical experts, primarily due to societal stigma and a lack of awareness and acceptance. Although medical interventions such as therapies, medications, and brain stimulation therapy provide hope for treatment, there is still a gap in the efficient detection of depression. Traditional methods, like in-person therapies, are both time-consuming and labor-intensive, emphasizing the necessity for technological assistance, especially through Artificial Intelligence. Alternative to this, in most cases… More >

Abstract Background: This study conducted a longitudinal analysis of the association between job satisfaction and stress or depressive symptoms of employed persons with disabilities (PWDs) based on the data from the 1st to 8th Pannel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED). Methods: After excluding missing values, data on 1614 participants at baseline (1st wave) were analyzed using the chi-square test and generalized estimating equation (GEE) model for data from 1st to 8thPSED. Results: It was found that for each one-unit increase in the job satisfaction score, the stress scale decreased by 0.004 (B: −0.004, 95% CI:… More >

Abstract Background: In contemporary society, it has been widely witnessed that a surprising number of adolescents suffer emotional and mental health problems, and such turmoil is very often carried over into adulthood with serious implications for adjustment during the post-adolescent years. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the associations of physical activity with self-esteem, depression, and suicidal ideation. In addition, this study examined whether self-esteem and depression mediate the relationship between physical activity and suicide ideation in adolescents. Methods: The study participants were 946 (male: 527, female: 419) who attended junior high and… More >

Abstract Objective: This study evaluated the effect of resilience on depression among patients with breast cancer from individual and familial perspectives by exploring the mediating and moderating effects of family resilience between individual resilience and depression. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 337 patients with breast cancer who were admitted to the Oncology Department of Jiangsu Province Hospital. The survey included demographic information, the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS), and the Chinese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) for Depression. The relationship among individual resilience, family resilience, and depression… More >

Abstract The turbidite channel of South China Sea has been highly concerned. Influenced by the complex fault and the rapid phase change of lithofacies, predicting the channel through conventional seismic attributes is not accurate enough. In response to this disadvantage, this study used a method combining grey relational analysis (GRA) and support vector machine (SVM) and established a set of prediction technical procedures suitable for reservoirs with complex geological conditions. In the case study of the Huangliu Formation in Qiongdongnan Basin, South China Sea, this study first dimensionalized the conventional seismic attributes of Gas Layer Group… More >

Abstract Regular physical activity (PA) is known to enhance multifaceted health benefits, including both physical and mental health. However, traditional in-person physical activity programs have drawbacks, including time constraints for busy people. Although evidence suggests positive impacts on mental health through mobile-based physical activity, effects of accumulated short bouts of physical activity using mobile devices are unexplored. Thus, this study aims to investigate these effects, focusing on depression, perceived stress, and negative affectivity among South Korean college students. Forty-six healthy college students were divided into the accumulated group (n = 23, female = 47.8%) and control… More >

Abstract This study evaluated the state of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, general mental health, and mental well-being among citizens after a crowd-crush disaster in Korea. Individuals who experienced the crowd crush had significantly higher anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) scores than those who did not (p < 0.001). Additionally, people who avoided the disaster area had significantly higher depression and PTSD scores than those who did not avoid the area (p < 0.001). Those who directly witnessed the Seoul Halloween crowd crush had a significant difference in PTSD levels in either group than those More >

Abstract As the global elderly population increases, depression within this group has become a significant public health concern. Although exercise has been recognized for its potential to improve depression in the elderly, the benefits, risks, and implementation strategies remain contentious. This review attempts to examine the impact of exercise on depression in older adults, including potential benefits, risks, and suggestions for application. Our analysis highlights the benefits of aerobic and resistance training, which can significantly alleviate depressive symptoms and enhance overall quality of life. Despite these benefits, the review acknowledges the complexity of the exercise-depression interaction More >
