unfortunately, limited knowledge exists about the causes and consequences of depression and depressive symptoms among minorities and subpopulations. In this editorial, I summarize a growing literature suggesting that presentations, epidemiology, risk factors, and consequences of major depressive disorder (MDD) and depressive symptoms depend upon race, gender, and their intersections...

Abstract: 

Background and aims: Exposure and vulnerability to racial discrimination is not solely a function of race but the intersection of race and gender, with Black men experiencing more discrimination than Black women. This phenomenon is explained by the subordinate male target hypothesis, suggesting that majority men specifically target men of color. If that is the case, implicit bias would be most common among the majority men. The current cross-sectional study investigated race by gender differences in implicit bias against Blacks.Methods: Data came from Harvard University’s Project Implicit, an online survey, conducted during 2006-2016. Data included 444 422 implicit association tests (IATs) which were taken by Blacks (n=56 384) and Whites (n=388 038). Using IAT, the dependent variable was implicit bias against Blacks. Independent variables were race, gender, and age. Using SPSS, linear regressions were utilized to test the additive and multiplicative effects of race and gender on implicit bias against Blacks.Results: Race (b=0.39; 95% CI=0.38-0.39) and gender (b=0.05; 95% CI=0.05-0.05) were associated with IAT score suggesting higher implicit bias against Blacks among Whites and men. A significant interaction was found between race and gender (b=0.05; 95% CI=0.04-0.07), suggesting the highest level of implicit bias against Blacks among White men.Conclusion: It is not solely race and gender but their intersection that shapes social distribution of implicit bias against Blacks. This finding extends the previous literature showing that not solely race or gender but their intersection influences exposure to discrimination.

Abstract: 

Background and aims: Anxiety can be defined as a state of fear and worry. Test anxiety is one of the students’ constant fears that produces destructive and negative effects on students’ educational performance and mental condition. There is not an exception among students with learning disorders and they all experience such type of anxiety. Therefore, in this research the test anxiety was compared in these two mentioned types of students.Methods: The present analytical-descriptive study was conducted on a sample of 129 students composed of 86 normal and 43 cases with learning disorders in Lordegan county. The cases were selected by simple random sampling and Sarason Anxiety Questionnaire was used for gathering data and finally the collected data was analyzed via analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and SPSS 16.0.Results: The mean of anxiety level among students with learning disorders was 24.21 (±4.33) and 20.65 (±6.81) before and after the test respectively, and the measured mean for normal students was 18.52 (±5.56) before the test and 16.7 (±5.47) after the test. This result showed a significant difference between these two types of students (P<0.001), but there were no significant differences between control and test groups’ sex and anxiety level (P>0.05).Conclusion: In these 2 studied groups, the test anxiety was decreased sharply after the test in comparison with that before it. As well, it was concluded that the normal students’ anxiety was less than the anxiety of students with learning disorders in both phases.

Abstract: 

Background and aims: A high number of healthcare team members are nurses. Nurses’ quality of life level is an important issue because it affects their level of care delivered to their patients. Knowledge about nurses’ level of quality of life is useful for planning. The present study was conducted to examine the quality of life of nurses and related factors.Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was performed during 2015-2016. Samples were recruited from single nurses who worked in teaching hospitals in Tehran. To this end, 200 nurses were selected by using simple random sampling method. Data collection was performed by researchers using a researcher’s self-designed checklist for demographic characteristics and a 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36). After data collection, data analysis was performed using SPSS 19.0 software.Results: Of 200 nurses, 118 (59%) were female, and 82 (41%) were male. Of 200 nurses, 192 (96%) were registered nurses and the rest had Master of Science degree in nursing. The mean score of quality of life was 71.44±10.12. Among subscales of quality of life, higher and lower scores were related to the subscale ‘social role functioning’ and ‘physical functioning’, respectively. Nurses’ sex was a significant factor that affected their quality of life (P<0.05).Conclusion: According to the findings of the present study, nurses’ quality of life was at moderate level totally; however in some subscales they had some problems. Nurses’ quality of life needs more attention. Further study in this regard is recommended.
