An interview designed to promote mental health in organizations

Introduction In a broad literature review on the subject we did not find structured interviews in the context of mental health in organizations. However, interviews are in common use in the business field. In Family Science assessment methods of families have fallen into two main categories. The first one is comprised of methods based on the evaluation of family members’ individual answers, while the second is based on the evaluation of group answers. The Structured Family Business Interview (SBFI) presented is based in important systemic studies and psychological practices with families and it belongs to the second method Objectives The purposes of this study is present a structured interview called the Structured Family Business Interview (SBFI) that is a theoretical and practical contribution to access and to promote mental health in organizations. Methods The Structured Family Business Interview (SFBI) is a structured interview comprised of six tasks which are assigned to the family as a group some of them are hypothetical or role-play type, and they are addressed to a particular family group in the family business. The relational processes is observed first-hand by the interviewer and by a trained observer who audio-records and documents the non-verbal signals. Results This technique was developed and tested in family firm context. In this section we will present illustrative answers to various dimensions studied in a large research project in mental health with family businesses. Results show good indicators of the SFBI capacity to assess dynamic and systemics dimensions of the teams in family firm. Those dimensions are: communication, rules, roles, conflicts, integration and aggressiveness analyzed to promote health resources and human and organizational development. The research with several work teams indicate that it allows for a precise evaluation of the variables. Conclusions The Structured Family Business Interview specifically designed for family business takes into account intangible variables described in the organizational management literature like the systemic constructs that has a strong impact on the health of organizations. In addition to the specific contribution to management tools, it is expected that this interview may help to develop new studies and practices about organizational health in work and in family businesses.

Introduction: In the last 70 years there has been a massive change in rural versus urban distribution of the population (in the 1950's only 30 % of the population had been living in urban areas, whereas in 2021 more than 55% were living in urban areas).This mass migration of the rural population, high density cities, traffic noise, severe pollution, high competition have made their mark on mental health, increasing the risk for various illnesses (schizophrenia).On the other hand, rural areas experience high rates of suicide, depression and a lack of access to the mental health workforce.Objectives: The goal of this research is to identify the effects of the rapid urbanization on the mental health in rural versus urban areas, as well as the impact of modernization in rural areas.Methods: For this we performed a literature search that synthesizes the newest research on the rural and urban mental health.Review type articles were excluded.
Results: Results show a high frequency of schizophrenia, mood disorders or addictive disorders in urban areas and depression or alcohol dependence in rural areas.However, the improvement of the living conditions (such as Council of the Europe Development Bank), infrastructure, roads, water supply, bridges, sewerage networks have made their mark , modernizing rural economy.On the other hand existing barriers to mental health (desire to receive care, shortage of professionals in mental healthcare, lack of anonymity in treatment seeking, affordability or transportation to care, or even resources to learn) still remain to be addressed.Conclusions: The modernization of rural areas hasn't changed the stigma for mental health.There is a need for increasing awareness on the impact of urbanization on mental health.

An interview designed to promote mental health in organizations Introduction: In a broad literature review on the subject we did not find structured interviews in the context of mental health in organizations.However, interviews are in common use in the business field.In Family Science assessment methods of families have fallen into two main categories.The first one is comprised of methods based on the evaluation of family members' individual answers, while the second is based on the evaluation of group answers.The Structured Family Business Interview (SBFI) presented is based in important systemic studies and psychological practices with families and it belongs to the second method Objectives: The purposes of this study is present a structured interview called the Structured Family Business Interview (SBFI) that is a theoretical and practical contribution to access and to promote mental health in organizations.Methods: The Structured Family Business Interview (SFBI) is a structured interview comprised of six tasks which are assigned to the family as a group some of them are hypothetical or role-play type, and they are addressed to a particular family group in the family business.The relational processes is observed first-hand by the interviewer and by a trained observer who audio-records and documents the non-verbal signals.

Efficacy of an electronic cognitive behavioural therapy program developed and delivered via the Online Psychotherapy Tool for mental health problems related to the COVID-19 Pandemic E. Moghimi1 *, M. Omrani2 , A. Shirazi3 , J. Jagayat4 , C. Stephenson 1 and N. Alavi 1 Introduction: Lockdowns and social distancing resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have worsened population mental health and made it more difficult for individuals to receive care.Electronic cognitive behavioural therapy (e-CBT) is a cost-effective and evidence-based treatment that can be accessed remotely.The objective of the study was to investigate the efficacy of online psychotherapy during the pandemic.Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to develop and administer an e-psychotherapy program for patients with depression and anxiety d), affected by the COVID-19 pandemic .The program aimed to significantly reduce stress and psychological distress in patients, from pre-to post-intervention.Methods: Participants (n = 59) diagnosed with MDD and/or GAD, whose mental health symptoms initiated or worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic.The online psychotherapy program focused on teaching coping, mindfulness, and problem-solving skills.Symptoms of anxiety and depression, resilience, and quality of life were assessed.Results: From the participants assessed for eligibility, n = 14 did not meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and n = 7 declined to participate.As a result, n = 59 participants commenced the study.In total, 21 participants dropped out of the study (n = 11 from Weeks 1-3, n = 7 from Weeks 4-6, and n = 3 at Week 7), and 38 participants completed the study.The large majority of the total sample identified as women (n = 41, 69%).Two participants identified as Other and both dropped out of the treatment at Weeks 4 and 6, respectively.The average age of the sample was 32.26 (SD = 12.67).No significant differences were observed at baseline for any demographic variables or scores of treatment completers and dropouts .A significant difference was observed between the number of sessions completed by those who dropped out and those who finished the program (p < 0.001).On average, treatment dropouts completed approximately 41% of the treatment before dropping out.Participants demonstrated significant improvements in symptoms of anxiety (p = 0.023) and depression (p = 0.029) after the intervention.Similar trends were observed in intent-to-treat analysis.No significant differences were observed in resilience and quality of life measures.Conclusions: The evidence strongly suggests that online psychotherapy can supplement the current care model.Although no changes in quality of life or resilience were reported, these findings may be due to the persistent environmental challenges that are outside the normative levels observed pre-pandemic.While the
