The aim of this study is to investigate whether personal, social and organizational level resources can buffer against the negative effects perceived loneliness on stress exhaustion. data was collected from Finnish university employees (n = 1463) in autumn 2020 via an electronic survey. Of respondents, about 78% were working remotely, 64% female. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses used analyze main moderating (i.e., buffering) effects. results indicated that directly positively associated with Further, as hypothesized, personal resilience moderated relationship between exhaustion, support stress. Unexpectedly, did not moderate loneliness–exhaustion relationship. Moreover, a sense belonging nor it well-being relationships. demonstrate importance enhancing organizations during COVID-19 pandemic. Future research directions practical ways promote increase are discussed.

Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias is a major public health burden–compounding over upcoming years due to longevity. Recently, clinical evidence hinted at the experience of social isolation in expediting dementia onset. In 502,506 UK Biobank participants 30,097 from Canadian Longitudinal Study Aging, we revisited traditional risk factors for developing context loneliness lacking support. Across these measures subjective objective deprivation, have identified strong links between individuals’ capital various indicators risk, which replicated across both population cohorts. The quality quantity daily encounters had deep connections with key aetiopathological factors, represent 1) personal habits lifestyle 2) physical health, 3) mental 4) societal external factors. Our population-scale assessment suggest that determinants are linked most neurodegeneration highlighting them as promising targets preventive action.

Precision psychiatry has emerged as part of the shift to personalized medicine and builds on frameworks such U.S. National Institute Mental Health Research Domain Criteria (RDoC), multilevel biological “omics” data and, most recently, computational psychiatry. The is prompted by realization that a one-size-fits all approach inadequate guide clinical care because people differ in ways are not captured broad diagnostic categories. One first steps developing this treatment was use genetic markers pharmacotherapeutics based predictions pharmacological response or non-response, potential risk adverse drug reactions. Advances technology have made greater degree specificity precision potentially more attainable. To date, however, search for largely focused parameters. Psychiatric disorders involve multi-level dynamics require measures phenomenological, psychological, behavioral, social structural, cultural dimensions. This points need develop fine-grained analyses experience, self-construal, illness narratives, interpersonal interactional dynamics, contexts determinants health. In paper, we review limitations arguing it cannot reach its goal if does include core elements processes give rise psychopathological states, which agency experience person. Drawing from contemporary systems biology, epidemiology, developmental psychology, cognitive science, propose cultural-ecosocial integrating with person-centered care.
