Background/Objectives: Social media has become a key activity in adolescents’ lives, with potential implications for their health and well-being. Because of this, the objective was to examine the influence of social media on the eating behavior and sleep quality of adolescents aged 13 to 18 years. Methods: The PubMed, Scopus, Proquest, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were reviewed following the PRISMA protocol. The inclusion criteria for the studies were as follows: a sample of adolescents aged 13 to 18 years without a baseline clinical diagnosis and research objectives related to social media and its influence on eating behavior or sleep quality. A total of 24 articles were included at the end of the search. Due to heterogeneity in measurement formats, a single pooled analysis was not feasible. Instead, two partial random-effects meta-analyses of continuous outcomes were performed (sleep and eating behaviours). Results: Qualitative synthesis revealed consistent associations between problematic social media use, poor sleep quality, and disordered eating. The meta-analyses showed a small-to-moderate and statistically significant association on sleep quality (r = 0.36) while the pooled estimate for eating behaviours was imprecise and not significant (r = 0.35), reflecting the very limited number of eligible studies. Conclusions: Excessive social media use is associated with poorer sleep and eating outcomes among adolescents. These findings highlight the need for educational and preventive strategies promoting healthy digital habits and psychological well-being. This systematic review elucidates the implications of social media use for health promotion at this development stage.

Background: Loneliness is currently very prevalent among adolescents, negatively affecting their physical, mental, and social health. Playing videogames is one of the most common leisure activities, which has been associated with multiple negative and positive outcomes for mental health. Depending on their use, they can generate mental and social health benefits or lead to an addiction that disrupts daily life and affects the adolescent’s mental health. Community spaces for young people create safe environments where adolescents can gain access to different meaningful leisure activities, but the association of community videogame play with feelings of loneliness has not been researched to this date. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the feelings of loneliness among adolescents aged 14 to 20 who attend community spaces to play videogames. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included adolescents aged between 14 and 20. A sociodemographic questionnaire, questions related to videogame use, and the Richaud de Minzi and Sacchi Adolescent Loneliness Scale were administered. Results: A total of 112 adolescents with a mean age of 18.21 years (± 1.52) were included. It was found that adolescents who played alone had a worse perception of their friendships, family ties, themselves, and their social and adaptive skills, compared to adolescents who exclusively played when accompanied. Conclusions: Participation in meaningful activities, such as shared videogame use within community resources, may decrease the likelihood of developing feelings of loneliness in the adolescent population.

Background and Objectives: Mental health recovery is conceived as a personal process going beyond symptom remission and thus involving identity reconstruction, search for meaning and active participation in everyday life. This study aimed to analyze the influence of life history, identity, competence and context on the recovery process of people with mental illness. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted and registered in the Open Science Framework. Participants were 159 individuals diagnosed with mental disorders who attended a community mental health association. Data were collected using the standardized Occupational Performance History Interview-II (OPHI-II) and analyzed through an inductive phenomenological approach with researcher triangulation. Results: Findings showed that life history is central to recovery, as it helps rebuild identity, recognize personal capacities and restore a sense of continuity. Daily occupations and social support emerged as key factors for inclusion and participation. Conclusions: Results highlight the importance of integrating biographical narratives and occupational perspective into mental health interventions through a standardized tool that surpasses traditional diagnosis-based or methodologically weak approaches. This perspective fosters practices aligned with individuals’ values, goals and contexts, promoting autonomy, empowerment, and social inclusion. These findings may inform person-centered recovery programs in community services.

Introduction: People experiencing homelessness (PEH) often live in adverse and changing environments and have high rates of mental illness and social exclusion, factors that could influence information processing. However, it is unknown whether these conditions could be related to sensory processing problems. Objectives: Analyse sensory processing in PEH. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 150 participants (mean age of 47.43 ± 10.94 years), using the Adult/Adolescent Sensory Profile and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results. PEH aged 18–64 showed significantly higher scores in low registration (M = 36.9), sensory sensitivity (M = 41.1) and sensation avoiding (M = 45.5) compared to the control group (p < 0.001), suggesting a distinct form of sensory processing in this population. Discussion: These results may be linked to factors such as chronic exposure to unpredictable and stressful situations, as well as to the presence of diverse mental health issues. Conclusion: It is important to consider the sensory characteristics of this population when designing person-centered interventions, in order to reduce social isolation and promote self-regulation strategies, environmental adaptation and greater occupational participation.

Background/Objectives: Stroke during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period is uncommon but may substantially affect women’s everyday functioning and maternal roles. This study aimed to characterize functional independence, occupational performance and satisfaction, and quality of life in women who had a stroke during these periods and to explore their lived experiences of motherhood. Methods: An exploratory mixed-methods study used sequential complementary quantitative and qualitative components. Eleven women completed quantitative assessments of functional independence, occupational performance and satisfaction, and quality of life. Six women participated in semi-structured interviews. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically by three researchers, and findings were integrated during interpretation. Results: Participants showed relatively high functional independence, with a median Functional Independence Measure total score of 111 (interquartile range = 8). Qualitative findings revealed disruption and gradual redefinition of the maternal role, difficulties in mother–child bonding and childcare, physical, cognitive, and emotional sequelae, reliance on family support, and perceived gaps between stroke-related care and motherhood-related needs. Integration of the findings showed that relatively preserved basic independence could coexist with substantial difficulties in maternal activities, while occupational priorities frequently related to childcare and family life. Conclusions: Motherhood after stroke involves challenges that may not be adequately captured by general measures of independence. The findings identify meaningful maternal occupations and the integration of stroke-related and motherhood-related needs as areas warranting further investigation within person-centered rehabilitation.
