NTT PARAVITA株式会社との共同研究を開始しました
NTT PARAVITA株式会社と筑波大学WPI-IIIS中島研究室は、働く人の睡眠とメンタルヘルスの関係を検討する共同研究を開始しました。本研究では、睡眠・メンタルヘルス関連指標の関係やカウンセリング実施前後の変化などを探索的に分析します。得られた知見を将来の無作為化比較試験（RCT）の設計につなげ、睡眠を起点とした働く人のメンタルヘルス不調の早期支援に向けた科学的基盤の構築を目指します。

NTT PARAVITA Corporation and the Nakajima Laboratory at WPI-IIIS, University of Tsukuba, have launched a collaborative research project to investigate the relationship between sleep and mental health among working adults. In this study, we will conduct exploratory analyses of the associations between sleep- and mental health-related measures, as well as changes before and after counseling. The findings will be used to inform the design of a future randomized controlled trial (RCT) and to build a scientific foundation for early support for mental health problems among working adults, with sleep as a starting point.

黄 慧（客員研究員）と中島 俊（PI）の論文がAnnals of General Psychiatryに掲載されました。
昨年度に中島研究室へ研究滞在していた黄 慧（Hui Huang, MD, PhD；現・客員研究員／華中科技大学同済医学院附属武漢精神衛生センター 睡眠医学科、中国・武漢）を責任著者の一人、中島 俊（PI）を共著者とする論文「Altered functional connectivity in neural circuits of bipolar disorder and problematic gaming: a resting-state fMRI study」が、国際学術誌Annals of General Psychiatryに掲載されました。
本研究では、左視床と右扁桃体の間の機能的結合が、双極性障害の患者さんにおける問題のあるゲーム行動の重症度と関連する可能性が予備的に示されました。

A paper co-authored by Dr. Hui Huang, MD, PhD (Visiting Researcher; Department of Sleep Medicine, Affiliated Wuhan Mental Health Center, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China), who stayed at our laboratory as a visiting researcher during the last academic year and served as one of the corresponding authors, and Shun Nakajima (PI), titled "Altered functional connectivity in neural circuits of bipolar disorder and problematic gaming: a resting-state fMRI study," has been published in Annals of General Psychiatry.
This study provides preliminary evidence that functional connectivity between the left thalamus and the right amygdala is associated with the severity of problematic gaming in patients with bipolar disorder.

Bumcheol Kim（客員研究員）の論文がJournal of Paediatrics and Child Healthに掲載されました。
中島研究室の客員研究員であるBumcheol Kim氏が執筆した論文「Effects of a Parent-Participatory Physical Activity and Psychoeducation Program on Anxiety, Depression, and Social Skills in Children With ADHD」が、Journal of Paediatrics and Child Healthに掲載されました。
本研究は、ADHD（注意欠如・多動症）のある子どもを対象に、運動と心理教育を組み合わせたプログラム群、運動のみのプログラム群、対照群の3群を比較し、保護者参加型介入の効果を検証したものです。従来の介入研究の多くが子ども本人への働きかけを中心としてきたのに対し、本研究では保護者が子どもと一緒にプログラムに参加した点が特徴です。
Kim氏は、本研究の知見がADHDのある子どもの情緒的な健康を支える介入の発展に貢献することを期待しています。

A paper authored by Bumcheol Kim, a visiting researcher in the Nakajima Lab, titled "Effects of a Parent-Participatory Physical Activity and Psychoeducation Program on Anxiety, Depression, and Social Skills in Children With ADHD," has been published in the Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health.
This study evaluated the effects of a parent-participatory intervention for children with ADHD by comparing three groups: a physical activity and psychoeducation group, a physical activity-only group, and a control group. A key feature of the study was that parents participated in the intervention together with their children, extending previous approaches that have primarily focused on interventions delivered to children.
Kim hopes that the findings of this study will contribute to the development of interventions that support the emotional well-being of children with ADHD.
