This cross-country study examines how higher education institutions collaborate with government, industry, and civil society to promote the European Green Deal and Just Transition initiatives. Framed within the quadruple helix (QH) model, the research investigates emerging partnerships and the integration of green policies across six European countries: Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Greece, Serbia, and Spain. Special emphasis is placed on the strategic role of universities in advancing the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability through their initiatives. Drawing on 30 semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, including local public officials, academics, entrepreneurs, students, and unemployed youth, the study uncovers a growing alignment between academic initiatives and national sustainability agendas. While the extent of policy integration and collaboration varies, the findings underscore the importance of universities in shaping environmental awareness, fostering green innovation, and advancing multi-actor partnerships. The study contributes to the theoretical discourse on the QH model by applying it to the field of green transition policy and offers practical recommendations for enhancing the role of universities in sustainability-oriented governance and education.

Objective: This study describes a nurse‐led intervention aimed at improving mental health literacy (MHL), reducing stigma, and encouraging help‐seeking behaviour. Design: A quasi‐experimental design involved 578 responses ranging in age from 13 to 52 years ( M = 20.28, SD = 6.29), including secondary school pupils, nursing undergraduates, and trainee secondary school teachers. Measurements: Pre‐ and post‐intervention assessments examined a wide range of health indicators. These included six scales assessing mental health knowledge (MHLI), mental health support intentions (MHSSA), body dissatisfaction (EBIC), eating disorder risk (SCOFF), problematic pornography use (PPCS‐6), and health‐protective sexual communication (HPSC). The intervention focused on reducing stigma, encouraging help‐seeking behaviour, and developing practical skills to support peers facing mental health challenges. Results: Post‐intervention results indicated significant improvements in MHL, attitudes, and behavioural intentions across all groups. Adolescents initially exhibited lower baseline scores than university participants. However, both groups demonstrated substantial gains. The most pronounced improvements were observed among women, individuals with prior experience of mental health issues, and university students. Conclusion: This study underscores the vital role of nurses as facilitators in school‐based mental health promotion and in the interdisciplinary education of future health professionals. The nurse‐led mental health education into secondary and higher education curricula foster population‐wide mental well‐being.

Scarce research has been performed on the role of power, affectivity, and suppression of emotional expression in the use of dating violence by adolescents and young men. This study aims to analyze a model of the associations between perceived power (control and dominance), affectivity (positive and negative affect), suppression of emotional expression and the frequency of use of male-to female dating violence. Participants in this cross-sectional and correlational study were 786 Spanish students aged between 13 and 25 years (M = 18.80; SD = 2.93) divided in two groups: 13–18 (316 adolescents, M = 15.58; SD = 1.02) and 18–25 (462 young men, M = 20.79; SD = 1.98) with 8 participants not stating their age. Different sequential mediation models confirmed that, only in young men, affectivity (negative and positive affect) and suppression of emotional expression mediate the relationship between power and the use of dating violence. Fostering equal relationships, associating them with positive emotional states, avoiding the frustration derived from low power perception, and providing young men with strategies for appropriately expressing their emotions may help decrease the use of dating violence.

Background/Objectives: Mindfulness has emerged as a widely studied approach for promoting psychological well-being, evolving from its contemplative origins into a secular, evidence-based intervention. In recent years, the proliferation of mobile applications has enabled the delivery of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in accessible and scalable formats. This systematic review examined the efficacy of MBIs delivered via mobile applications in non-clinical adult populations, with a focus on well-being, compassion, and aggression. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across six databases (Web of Science, PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, SciELO, and Dialnet) for studies published from 2014 onward, following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A total of 23 randomized controlled trials met the inclusion criteria. Additionally, a risk-of-bias assessment was performed using the Cochrane RoB-2 tool. Results: Results indicated small to moderate improvements in well-being outcomes, including positive affect, life satisfaction, and psychological well-being. Evidence regarding compassion was limited and mixed, while no studies addressing aggression met the inclusion criteria. Additionally, substantial variability in adherence rates and a high overall risk of bias were observed. Conclusions: These findings suggest that mindfulness applications may represent accessible tools for enhancing individual well-being; however, their effect on broader socio-emotional functioning remains unclear. Further research should prioritize more rigorous study designs, including active control conditions and behavioral outcome measures, to better establish their effectiveness and underlying mechanisms.
