Item type:Publication, Is solastalgia associated with mental health problems? A scoping reviewQuestion As global ecological crises accelerate, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the impact of associated environmental changes on mental health. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying the link between environmental changes and mental health problems remain underexplored. This scoping review investigates whether solastalgia—a form of distress caused by environmental change—acts as a potential contributing factor to mental health problems. Study selection and analyses We conducted a systematic search of the databases PsycINFO and PubMed using the keyword ‘solastalgia’. Initially, only studies that quantitatively assessed solastalgia and used validated mental health measures were included. A second, non-preregistered search expanded the scope to include studies that mentioned solastalgia and mental health without requiring quantitative solastalgia measures. Findings The studies retrieved in the initial search showed that solastalgia was positively associated with depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. The studies retrieved in the extended search supported these findings, with qualitative studies providing further evidence that solastalgia is a useful construct to understand the emotional responses of persons affected by environmental changes. Conclusions Solastalgia might be a factor contributing to the detrimental effects of climate change on mental health. Further quantitative research is warranted to inform the design of (preventive) interventions targeting solastalgia and thus mitigate climate change-induced mental health problems.Type:journal articleJournal:BMJ Mental HealthVolume:28Issue:1Scopus© Citations 12 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Seasonal variation in hair cortisol concentration: A systematic review.(2025-05-23); Skoluda, NadineHair cortisol concentration (HCC) is a crucial biomarker in psychoneuroendocrinological research, offering unique insights into long-term hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity. Season has repeatedly shown associations with HCC. However, as of yet, no systematic attempt at quantifying season's influence on HCC has been undertaken. We conducted a systematic search of the bibliographic databases PubMed and PsycINFO. Twenty-nine between- and within-person studies fulfilled all eligibility criteria (N = 10,520 participants in total). Overall, 22 studies (76%) reported significant differences in HCC across seasons. Most between-personstudies reported lower HCC in winter/spring than in summer/autumn (10/15). This pattern was supported by 2/14 within-person studies, whereas others reported lower HCC in summer than in autumn (6/14). The remaining studies reported other patterns or no seasonal variations in HCC. In conclusion, there is accumulating evidence for seasonal variations in HCC, highlighting the need to consider the seasons in future research on HCC and health. Mechanisms related to meteorological, ecological, sociocultural, and lifestyle factors may underlie seasonal rhythmicity in cortisol secretion and accumulation in hair.Type:journal articleJournal:Frontiers in NeuroendocrinologyVolume:78Scopus© Citations 6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
