The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, has had devastating effects on the Ukrainian population and the global economy, environment, and political order. However, little is known about the psychological states surrounding the outbreak of war, particularly the mental well-being of individuals outside Ukraine.

Evidence suggests that MDMA-assisted psychotherapy (MDMA-AP) has therapeutic potential for treatment of psychiatric illness.

MDMA (±3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine)-assisted therapy (MDMA-AT) was shown in previous clinical trials to have promising efficacy and safety for alleviating treatment-resistant posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, due to low ethnoracial diversity, the question remains as to whether ethnoracial minority participants would benefit similarly.

This study aimed to provide a critical analysis of the current literature on the use of digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) for the management and treatment of mental health disorders among refugees and asylum seekers. These groups are among the most disadvantaged compared to the general population in terms of health and socio-economic status, due to conflicts and wars.

Digital health technologies may offer an alternate approach to augmenting the established mental health care delivery systems for migrants and promoting their mental well-being.

This study investigates Congolese girls’ and women’s experience in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo concerning the rape they face during field activities. A qualitative approach was employed to collect data from 40 single young women and married women aged 18–45 years old. Four focus group discussions and 28 individual interviews were conducted among women survivors of sexual violence from the South and North Kivu provinces.

Background
This systematic review examined the evidence on effectiveness and acceptability of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions in improving quality of life (QoL) and psychological well-being of unaccompanied minors (UM).

Kunstmatige intelligentie (AI) heeft binnen korte tijd grote sprongen vooruit gemaakt, zowel in mogelijkheden en toepassingen als in acceptatie en gebruik. Voor de EU was dat aanleiding om regelgeving op te stellen: de Artificiële Intelligentie (AI) Verordening. In de gezondheidszorg lijkt het in het bijzonder van belang om rekening te houden met de mogelijkheden maar ook risico’s die het gebruik van AI mee kan brengen voor de fundamentele (grond)rechten van patiënten. Patiënten behoren immers tot een kwetsbare groep burgers. 

Welke gevolgen heeft overheidshandelen tijdens en na crises op het vertrouwen van burgers in de overheid? Het doel van deze kennisnotitie is om inzicht te geven in deze vraag. We identificeren vier sleutelfactoren van overheidshandelen die invloed hebben op de kwaliteit van leven van mensen en hun vertrouwen in de overheid tijdens en na crises. 

The application of artificial intelligence art therapies (AIATs) in mental health care represents an innovative merger between digital technology and the therapeutic potential of creative arts. This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness and ethical considerations of AIATs, incorporating robots, AI painting and AI Chatbots to augment traditional art therapies. Aligning with the Preferred Reporting Items for systematic reviews (PRISMA) guidelines, we meticulously searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and CNKI, resulting in 15 selected articles for detailed analysis.
