To examine the interrelations among non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), alcohol addiction, food addiction, and motivational factors in bus drivers, highlighting the implications for public safety.
Key Findings:
Reward and Fear were identified as central nodes in the network analysis, suggesting critical areas for intervention.
Alcohol addiction was positively associated with food addiction, NSSI, and motivation, indicating overlapping risk factors.
Motivation and food addiction symptoms had direct links to alcohol addiction, while NSSI had an indirect link via food addiction, underscoring the need for integrated treatment approaches.
Interpretation:
The findings suggest that Reward- and Fear-related processes are critical in understanding the risk behaviors of bus drivers, indicating potential targets for interventions aimed at improving mental health and safety.
Limitations:
The study is limited to a specific occupational group, which may affect generalizability to other populations.
Cross-sectional design limits causal inferences, and potential biases in self-reported data may affect the accuracy of findings.
Conclusion:
The study highlights the interconnectedness of NSSI, alcohol addiction, food addiction, and motivation among bus drivers, suggesting that addressing these interrelations could enhance mental health interventions and improve public transportation safety.
