1. Police mental health and stress in Slovenia : associations with gender and support-seekingPolonca Borko, Meta Lavrič, Vita Poštuvan, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This study aimed to investigate the state of mental health and help- seeking behaviour in a sample of Slovenian police officers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally, we examined the variables that influence the likelihood of seeking help within the police, the relationship between measured variables and created a model explaining these relationships. Data were collected from a conve- nience sample of 279 police officers, representing 3.87% of the Slovenian police population. Depression was measured with the Male Depression Risk Scale. We found that 20.43% of police officers had a high or very high occurrence of depressive symptoms, with no significant difference in prevalence between male and female officers. We also found that 21.15% of police officers sought help within the organisation. Our findings highlight the need to inte- grate mental health screening into routine check-ups, establish effective referral systems, and implement stigma-reduction inter- ventions to better support officers.

2. Application of the New Visit Intention Model for Gastronomy Tourism : An Empirical Study in VietnamTrong Tien Bao Bui, Minh Chanh Trinh, Thi Thuy Ngan Dang, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The study aims to address research gaps in Vietnam’s gastronomy tourism by developing and validating a new visit intention model based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). The model incorporates the concepts of gastronomic destination image and novelty-seeking to gain a comprehensive understanding of domestic tourists’ intention to visit Ho Chi Minh City, a leading gastronomic destination in Vietnam. Primary data were collected from 417 domestic tourists through a questionnaire survey conducted in Ho Chi Minh City from April to August 2023. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was employed to test the proposed model and examine the relationships among novelty seeking, gastronomic image, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, and visit intention. The findings indicate that novelty-seeking, gastronomic image, and the core TPB constructs play a crucial role in explaining the intention to visit a gastronomic destination. The model explains 71.2% of the variance in visit intention, with domestic tourists’ visit intention being strongly influenced by the desire for novel culinary experiences and the attractiveness of Ho Chi Minh City’s gastronomic image. This study reaffirms the applicability of the extended TPB framework in explaining visit intention toward gastronomy destinations. The significant findings provide empirical evidence from Vietnam, clarifying how novelty-seeking and gastronomic image strengthen visit intention. The study also provides practical guidance for local authorities and tourism marketers to enhance Ho Chi Minh City’s competitiveness and support sustainable tourism development goals (SDG 11).

3. Regional Disparities in Health-Seeking Behaviour in Nigeria : Evidence from the World Bank General Household SurveyUche Abamba Osakede, M. Femi Ayadi, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Regional disparities in socioeconomic factors shape health-seeking behaviour (HSB). This study examined HSB across Northern and Southern Nigeria and the role of socioeconomic factors on HSB. Data was drawn from Wave 4 of the 2018/2019 post-harvest General Household Survey of approximately 5,000 households. Logistic regression and Chi-square (χ2) tests were applied. Findings show that health care is predominantly sought from private providers, especially in the South. No significant regional difference was found between formal and informal care use. Older adults rely on informal care providers such as traditional healers and faith-based centres. Household income significantly influences provider choice, while gender matters mainly in the North, where women utilise public more than private facilities. Longer distances and waiting times increase the likelihood of public facility use, and severe illness drives reliance on public providers. Policy should improve formal health care access for olderadults, strengthen public facilities to manage severe illnesses and women’s health, especially in the North, and tighten oversight of private providers, particularly in the South, to ensure quality health care.
