Organizations typically deploy multiple health and wellbeing practices in an overall program. We explore whether practices in workplace health and wellbeing programs cohere around a small number of archetypal categories or whether differences between organizations are better explained by a continuum. We also examine whether adopting multiple practices predicts subsequent changes in health and wellbeing. Using survey data from 146 organizations, we found differences between organizations were best characterized by a continuum ranging from less to more extensive adoption of practices. Using two-wave multilevel survey data at both individual and organizational levels (N = 6968 individuals, N = 58 organizations), we found that, in organizations that adopt a wider range of health and wellbeing practices, workers with poor baseline psychological wellbeing were more likely to report subsequent improvements in wellbeing and workers who reported good physical health at baseline were less likely to report experiencing poor health at follow-up. We found no evidence that adopting multiple health and wellbeing practices buffered the impact of individuals' workplace psychosocial hazards on physical health or psychological wellbeing.

Cieľ: Hlavným cieľom výskumu bola analýza vzťahu medzi internalizovanou homonegativitou a psychologickou osobnou pohodou u LGB ľudí zo Slovenska. Metóda: Výskumnú vzorku tvorilo 96 LGB/queer ľudí. Ako výskumné nástroje na meranie internalizovanej homonegativity sme použili Mayfieldovu IHNI škálu a na meranie psychologickej osobnej pohody Ryffovej škálu. Dáta boli zberané online formou. Hypotéza: Predpokladáme negatívny vzťah medzi stupňom internalizovanej homonegativity a psychologickou osobnou pohodou jednotlivca. Štatistická analýza: Na skúmanie normality dát sme použili Kolmogorov-Smirnov a Shapirov-Wilkov test. Na skúmanie vzťahu medzi IH a PWB sme použili Spearmanov korelačný koeficient. Výsledky sme vypracovali deskriptívne aj graficky. Výsledky: Zistilo sa, že internalizovaná homonegativita a psychologická osobná pohoda negatívne korelujú (rs = 0, 787, p < 0,001), čo potvrdzuje našu hypotézu. Každá subškála PWB a IHNI tiež silne korelovala. Úroveň IH bola vyššia u slovenských LGB ľudí ako v iných zúčastnených krajinách. LGB ľudia vykazovali relatívne nízke skóre v subškálach PWB: autonómii, vplyv na prostredie a sebaakceptácii. Záver: Na základe výsledkov konštatujeme, že internalizovaná homonegativita negatívne vplýva na psychologickú osobnú pohodu LGB ľudí. Najvyššie hodnoty IH sme videli u bisexuálnych jedincov. Týmto sme poukázali na dôležitosť tohoto aspektu pri odbornej a poradenskej práci s LGB jedincami. Je preto potrebné vytvárať afirmatívne prostredie pre LGB ľudí nielen v odbornej praxi, ale aj na celospoločenskej úrovni.

Objectives: The main aim of the research was analysis of the relation between internalized homonegativity and psychological well-being in LGB people from Slovakia. Methods: Research sample consisted of 96 LGB/queer people. Internalized Homonegativity Scale and Ryff´s Psychological Well-Being Scale were used as research tools. Data was collected via online questionnaire. Hypothesis: We assume a negative relationship between the degree of internalized homonegativity and the psychological well-being of the individual. Statistical analysis: We used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and the Shapiro-Wilk test to examine the normality of the data. We used the Spearman´s correlation coefficient to investigate the relationship between IH and PWB. We elaborated on the results descriptively and graphically. Results: Internalized Homonegativity and Psychological Well Being were found to correlate (rs = 0,787, p < 0,001) thus proving our hypothesis. Every subscale of PWB and IHNI correlated strongly, too. The level of IH was higher in Slovak queer people than in other participated nations. LGB people scored relatively low in Autonomy, Environmental Mastery and Self-Acceptance. The results were presented descriptively and graphically. Conclusions: Based on the results, we state that internalized homonegativity negatively affects the psychological personal well-being of LGB people. We saw the highest IH values in bisexual individuals. We have thus pointed out the importance of this aspect in professional and counselling work with LGB individuals. It is therefore necessary to create an affirmative environment for LGB people not only in professional practice, but also at the societal level.

Ayahuasca is a traditional plant decoction containing N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and various β-carbolines including harmine, harmaline, and tetrahydroharmine, which has been used ceremonially by Amazonian Indigenous groups for healing and spiritual purposes. Use of the brew has now spread far beyond its original context of consumption to North America, Europe, and Australia in neo-shamanic settings as well as Christian syncretic churches. While these groups have established their own rituals and protocols to guide use, it remains unknown the extent to which the use of traditional or non-traditional practices may affect drinkers' acute experiences, and longer term wellbeing and mental health outcomes. Hence, this study aimed to provide the first detailed assessment of associations between ceremony/ritual characteristics, additional support practices, motivations for drinking, and mental health and wellbeing outcomes. The paper uses data from a large cross-sectional study of ayahuasca drinkers in more than 40 countries who had used ayahuasca in various contexts (n = 6,877). It captured detailed information about participant demographics, patterns and history of ayahuasca drinking, the setting of consumption, and ritualistic practices employed. Current mental health status was captured via the Kessler 10 psychological distress scale and the mental health component score of the SF-12 Health Questionnaire, while reported change in prior clinically diagnosed anxiety or depression (n = 1276) was evaluated using a (PGIC) Patient Global Impression of Change tool. Various intermediate outcomes were also assessed including perceived change in psychological wellbeing, number of personal self-insights attained, and subjective spiritual experience measured via the spirituality dimension of the Persisting Effects Questionnaire (PEQ) and Short Index of Mystical Orientation. Regression models identified a range of significant associations between set and setting variables, and intermediate and final mental health and wellbeing outcomes. A generalized structural equation model (GSEM) was then used to verify relationships and associations between endogenous, mediating and final outcome variables concurrently. The present study sheds new light on the influence of ceremonial practices, additional supports and motivations on the therapeutic effects of ayahuasca for mental health and wellbeing, and ways in which such factors can be optimized in naturalistic settings and clinical studies.

This study concerns aspects of positive psychology connected to foreign language learning (FLL) in an older healthy generation. The positive psychology perspective stresses the positive aspects of improved wellbeing in participants who engage in various activities, particularly mental and brain-training practices. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore older people's subjective feelings connected to their FLL as one of the crucial ways to improve their quality of life (QoL). The objective of the research was to determine the subjective satisfaction level of the participants of a second language (L2) acquisition course. The research sample (experimental group) consisted of 105 respondents who were Czech citizens and 55+ years old. Two control groups were set up. The first (young control) consisted of 102 young adults (university students), also Czech citizens, aged between 19 and 23 years. The second control group (elderly control) consisted of 102 subjects older than 55 years, similar in age to the experimental group. A standardized online questionnaire survey was the principal research method, identical both for the experimental and control groups. The findings clearly showed that language training significantly improved the subjective positive feelings and wellbeing of the older participants, regardless of their objective progress in FLL itself. These results stood in opposition to the young control group and were different from the elderly control group. The results revealed that FLL is an effective tool for enhancing the overall wellbeing of older people, which was shown in their expression of their feelings of happiness, satisfaction, and positive motivation to learn an L2. In addition, FLL objectively affected their mental health in a positive way and expanded their social networks. Moreover, FLL was a meaningful activity for them, despite the weak objective learning outcomes due to the decline of cognitive functions, helping them find their general purpose of life, as well as life motivation as expressed in the survey. These findings are crucial, as it has already been proven that wellbeing is directly connected with good health and longevity. Therefore, national governments and all stakeholders dealing with the present issue of the aging population should pay undivided attention to the enhancement of older people's wellbeing by all possible intervention approaches, including FLL. There is limited research into the issue and the findings of this investigation could be an impetus for further research into the topic from the perspectives of cognitive science, psychology, and psycholinguistics.

There is no multi-country/multi-language study testing a-priori multivariable associations between non-modifiable/modifiable factors and validated wellbeing/multidimensional mental health outcomes before/during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, studies during COVID-19 pandemic generally do not report on representative/weighted non-probability samples. The Collaborative Outcomes study on Health and Functioning during Infection Times (COH-FIT) is a multi-country/multi-language survey conducting multivariable/LASSO-regularized regression models and network analyses to identify modifiable/non-modifiable factors associated with wellbeing (WHO-5)/composite psychopathology (P-score) change. It enrolled general population-representative/weighted-non-probability samples (26/04/2020-19/06/2022). Participants included 121,066 adults (age=42±15.9 years, females=64 %, representative sample=29 %) WHO-5/P-score worsened (SMD=0.53/SMD=0.74), especially initially during the pandemic. We identified 15 modifiable/nine non-modifiable risk and 13 modifiable/three non-modifiable protective factors for WHO-5, 16 modifiable/11 non-modifiable risk and 10 modifiable/six non-modifiable protective factors for P-score. The 12 shared risk/protective factors with highest centrality (network-analysis) were, for non-modifiable factors, country income, ethnicity, age, gender, education, mental disorder history, COVID-19-related restrictions, urbanicity, physical disorder history, household room numbers and green space, and socioeconomic status. For modifiable factors, we identified medications, learning, internet, pet-ownership, working and religion as coping strategies, plus pre-pandemic levels of stress, fear, TV, social media or reading time, and COVID-19 information. In multivariable models, for WHO-5, additional non-modifiable factors with |B|>1 were income loss, COVID-19 deaths. For modifiable factors we identified pre-pandemic levels of social functioning, hobbies, frustration and loneliness, and social interactions as coping strategy. For P-scores, additional non-modifiable/modifiable factors were income loss, pre-pandemic infection fear, and social interactions as coping strategy. COH-FIT identified vulnerable sub-populations and actionable individual/environmental factors to protect well-being/mental health during crisis times. Results inform public health policies, and clinical practice.

In 2021 the Czech Society for Nutrition published a document "The Healthy thirteen-concise dietary guidelines for the general public". The aim of these recommendations for adults, children, and the elderly is to promote health with the goal of comprehensively communicating the basics of a healthy lifestyle, primarily by providing suggestions for healthy nutrition. The purpose of this article is to evaluate this document from the viewpoint of health promotion and protection, including oral health, in terms of its comprehensibility, utilization in paediatric practice and compatibility with the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry (IAPD). The Healthy thirteen is intelligible to the general public, describes specific steps feasible in practice and represents the merging of primary prevention with practice. Regarding the reduction of simple sugars consumption and maintaining the intake of phytoprotective substances, these guidelines are in line not only with the prevention of dental caries but also with the prevention of overweight and obesity in children. The IAPD guidelines in relation to free sugars only significantly differ for children under two years of age. The IAPD requires a complete elimination of free sugar in the aforementioned age group.

V roce 2021 vydala česká Společnost pro výživu dokument „Zdravá třináctka – stručná výživová doporučení pro obyvatelstvo“. Smyslem třinácti doporučení pro dospělé, děti a seniory je podpora zdraví s cílem srozumitelně sdělit populaci zásady životního stylu převážně formou doporučení v oblasti zdravé výživy. Cílem sdělení je zhodnocení tohoto dokumentu z pohledu podpory a ochrany zdraví včetně orálního zdraví, z hlediska srozumitelnosti, využití v pediatrické praxi a kompatibility s doporučeními Světové zdravotnické organizace (SZO) a International Association of Paediatric Dentistry (IAPD). Zdravá 13 je i pro laickou veřejnost dobře srozumitelné sdělení, popisuje konkrétní v praxi realizovatelné kroky a reprezentuje spojení primární prevence a praxe. Ve vztahu ke snížení konzumace jednoduchých cukrů a v udržení příjmu fytoprotektivních látek je doporučení v souladu s prevencí zubního kazu a s prevencí nadváhy a obezity u dětí. Pouze u věkové kategorie dětí do dvou let věku se doporučení IAPD ve vztahu k volným cukrům významně liší. IAPD požaduje úplnou eliminaci volných cukrů u této věkové kategorie.

Arteriální hypertenze je chronické onemocnění, které postihuje především dospělou populaci. Během 21. století však dochází k narůstání prevalence onemocnění i u dětských pacientů, proto je v praxi důležité na něj myslet. V diagnostice má zcela zásadní roli praktický lékař pro děti a dorost, který by měl jako první zachytit zvýšenou hodnotu krevního tlaku. U menších dětí se obáváme spíše sekundární hypertenze, u dospívajících naopak hypertenze primární. Terapie je nutná z důvodu předcházení komplikacím, které se mohou vyskytnout již v dětství, ale také z dlouhodobého hlediska.

Arterial hypertension is a chronic disease affecting mainly adult patients. However, during the 21st century, the prevalence of the disease is also increasing in paediatric patients, so it is important to keep it in mind in practice. The role of the general practitioner for children and adolescents is absolutely crucial. He/she should be the first one to catch the elevated blood pressure value. The prevalence of secondary hypertension is higher in small children. On the contrary, primary hypertension is more common in adolescents. Therapy is necessary mainly to prevent complications which can arise in childhood, but the risks in a long-time period are significantly higher.

Vytvoření Zásad dobré praxe je jedním z klíčových cílů projektu Dementia Palliare, který se uskutečňuje v rámci programu Erasmus+ (klíčová aktivita 2 – KA 2). Dementia Palliare je novým konceptem a snahou o pozitivní rozvoj v praxi a podporu lidí s pokročilou demencí, nikoli však přímo v terminálních stadiích demence. Projekt Palliare je zaměřen na interprofesionální spolupráci a vzdělávání v problematice pokročilé demence. Jeho cílem je poskytnout nové informace a mezinárodní zkušenosti nejen odborníkům, profesionálním pečujícím o osoby s demencí, ale i všem dalším, kteří mají o tuto problematiku zájem. To by mělo přispět nejen ke zlepšení péče o lidi s demencí v Evropě, ale i k lepší podpoře jejich rodinných pečujících a spolupráci mezi profesionály a všemi dalšími zúčastněnými. Zásady dobré praxe jako otevřený dokument tímto předkládáme k diskusi všem, kdo mají o danou problematiku zájem.

Dementia Palliare is a new concept of positive practice development regarding the support of a person with advanced but not end stage dementia, who has limited opportunities for self-realisation and is increasingly reliant on the support of others for their health and wellbeing. PALLIARE Project is funded by the ERASMUS+ Programme. The project aims to strengthen inter-professional collaboration in dementia care; this will be facilitated through a virtual international Community of Practice (CoP). This learning environment will bring together people with a common interest to share and learn from one another to champion evidence informed improvements in advanced dementia care and family caring. Palliare Project team is led by Professor Debbie Tolson PhD MSc BSc (Hons) RGN FRCN Alzheimer Scotland Centre for Policy and Practice at University of the West of Scotland. The PALLIARE team is made up from seven European countries: Scotland, Czech Republic, Spain, Finland, Sweden, Slovenia and Portugal.
