Abstract Background The prevalence of social determinants of health (i.e. rurality, low education and poverty) among men put them at an elevated risk for comorbid cardiac disease and mental illness. While, men are particularly vulnerable to mental illnesses (i.e. depression, anxiety) after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), they are typically averse to seeking medical care, especially for mental health issues. Targeting interventions to at-risk population groups is a well documented approach. However, little in the literature presents how to prevent mental illness in cardiac men. This study aims to develop, implement and pilot a psychoeducational program tailored for post-ACS men. Methods A mixed method including a scoping review, a qualitative study and a quasi-experimental pilot study. Results In total, 42 articles were retrieved to extract key components of cardiac men-sensitive psychoeducation programs. We led 22 focus groups and 14 semi-structured interviews (119 men in total). The mean age was 51.2 years [45-77]. We integrated the gathered data gathered from the scoping review and the qualitative study to develop a psychoeducational program (3 group sessions). The pilot study involved 48 men who completed the baseline, the 3-month and the 6-month data collections. We observed 80% of compliance. Findings show a significant improvement in PHQ-9, GAD-7, IES-R, CSI and EQ-5D scales. We also observed changes in the CMNI-22, a measure of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors associated with both traditional and non-traditional masculine gender roles. Men appreciated the time flexibility (sessions were scheduled based on participants’ availability) and the responsiveness of the sessions (content was discussed based on their needs and interests). Life partners were invited and 65% attended to all sessions. Conclusions The program was a success and we expect to transform it into a peer-led intervention to improve its delivery in the community and its accessibility for rural and remote areas. Key messages At-risk population-sensitive approaches are key for compliance and effectiveness. Group sessions are effective approaches to improve men’s mental heatlh literacy.

AbstractBackground and aimsCompulsive sexual behaviour disorder (CSBD) is a medical condition that can impair social and occupational functioning and lead to severe distress. To date, treatment effectiveness studies of CSBD are under-developed; typically, treatment for CSBD is based on guidelines for substance or other behavioural addictions. Mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) is an evidence-based treatment for substance addiction aimed at, among other things, reducing craving and negative affect—i.e. processes that are implicated in the maintenance of problematic sexual behaviours. However, to our knowledge no prior research has been published evaluating mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) in the treatment of CSBD, except two clinical case reports. Therefore, the aim of the current pilot study was to examine whether MBRP can lead to clinical improvement in CSBD. Methods: Participants were 13 adult males with a diagnosis of CSBD. Before and after the eight-week MBRP intervention, participants completed a booklet of questionnaires including measurements of porn viewing, masturbation and emotional distress. Results: As expected, we found that after MBRP participants spent significantly less time engaging in problematic pornography use and exhibited a decrease in anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms. Discussion and Conclusions: The findings indicate that MBRP could be beneficial for CSBD individuals. Further clinical effectiveness studies with bigger sample sizes, delayed post-training measurements and randomised control trial design are warranted. In conclusion, MBRP leads to a decrease in time spent watching porn and a decrease in emotional distress in CSBD patients.
