Die Veränderung tut sehr weh: Twitter war ein Ort, an dem sich Wissenschaftler austauschen und Interessierte direkt informieren konnten. Nun verlassen immer mehr diese Plattform; könnte Mastodon wieder so ein Ort werden - spannender Artikel in @Nature.
Im Gegensatz zu ihm, kenne ich meine Expertise :) Wie es um seine juristischen Fähigkeiten bestellt ist, kann ich nur erahnen. Bei der Einordnung der Aktivitäten der Klimaaktivisten wirkte er - nunja - nicht ganz sattelfest.
Die Kraft der #Prävention: der plötzliche #Kindstod ist durch intensive Aufklärung der #Familien über das richtige Verhalten und über die notwendigen Vorbeugemaßnahmen um 93% zurückgegangen - gut, dass hier niemand „Bevormundung“ schreit.
In Anbetracht eines zusammenklappenden #Bildung und #Gesundheitswesen, kranker #Kinder und abgesagter Familientreffen:
War es wirklich so eine clevere Idee den Infektionsschutz ausgerechnet im Herbst vor der Infektsaison aufzugeben? #Medizinbrennt #kindheitbrennt
#Violence against #healthcare workers strongly increased during the #COVID19 pandemic and this trend seems to continue.
However, no protective measures and prevention policies have been implemented so far. Most importantly, violence against HCWs is not adequately recognized as a political issue and public health crisisy

#climatechange is linked to adverse #mentalhealth outcomes. This study shows that UK parliament has only infrequently made links between climate change and mental health. Key mental health impacts of climate change such as high temperature and suicides, or experiences of eco-anxiety, were found to be missing entirely.

Current understanding of the impact of climate change on mental health within UK parliament
There is growing evidence that climate change is linked to adverse mental health outcomes, with both direct and indirect impacts already being felt globally, including within the United Kingdom (UK). With the UK parliament tasked with passing legislation to mitigate against and adapt to climate change, it is well placed to take a lead in implementing policies that reduce the impact of climate change on mental health and even provide mental health benefits (e.g., by increasing access to green space). The extent to which the UK parliament considers the relationship between climate change and mental health in its decision-making was previously unknown. We report, through quantitative thematic analysis of the UK Hansard database, that the UK parliament has only infrequently made links between climate change and mental health. Where links have been made, the primary focus of the speeches were around flooding and anxiety. Key mental health impacts of climate change reported in the academic literature, such as high temperature and suicides, or experiences of eco-anxiety, were found to be missing entirely. Further, policies suggested in UK parliament to minimise the impact of climate change on mental health were focused on pushing adaptation measures such as flood defences rather than climate mitigation, indicating potential missed opportunities for effective policies with co-benefits for tackling climate change and mental health simultaneously. Therefore, this research suggests a...
The @nytimes spent one day with an #ambulance in Britain experiencing long waits and rising frustration.

Felix PeterGemeinsam mit @leadohm und Monika Krimmer habe ich einen Text zu den psychischen Folgen der #Klimakrise und anderer sozial-ökologischer #Krisen für #Kinder und #Jugendliche geschrieben.
Wir argumentieren, dass junge Menschen "auf vielfältige Art und Weise durch die direkten und indirekten Folgen anthropogener sozial-ökologischer Krisen in ihrer mentalen #Gesundheit beeinträchtigt werden: körperlich, kognitiv, sozial-emotional und hinsichtlich ihrer Entwicklung mit Auswirkungen auf die gesamte Lebensspanne. Dabei spielen nicht nur ökologische Folgen eine Rolle, sondern auch die Art und Weise, wie gesellschaftlich und individuell auf solche Krisen reagiert wird."
Das Thema ist sowohl im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs als auch in der Öffentlichkeit immer noch viel zu wenig präsent. Dabei droht uns hier eine globale #Kindeswohl-Gefährdung durch menschliches Handeln bzw. Unterlassen.
Der Text selbst ist hinter einer Paywall (Open Access konnten wir uns bislang nicht leisten). Doch wir haben eine für den freien Gebrauch lizenzierte Abbildung erstellt, die die Mehrfachbetroffenheit und besondere #Vulnerabilität junger Menschen zusammenfasst.

Psychische Konsequenzen der Klimakrise - Monatsschrift Kinderheilkunde
Background The climate crisis and other global socioecological crises pose significant risks to the health and development of children and adolescents. Research question The potential consequences for the psychological well-being and mental health of children and adolescents are presented. Results Young people’s mental health can be affected in multiple ways by the direct and indirect consequences of anthropogenic socioecological crises: physically, cognitively, socioemotionally, and regarding their development, with implications throughout the lifespan. It is not only ecological consequences that play a role here but also the way in which such crises are dealt with on the societal and individual levels. Conclusion People in the healing professions should be aware of the psychological consequences of socioecological crises as well as their own affectedness in order to be able to provide professional support and advice.
