Nov 15th 2023, 12:47

Abstract
In this study, we examined the acceptability and appropriateness of Tuning in to Kids Together (TIK-Together) from the perspective of program facilitators. TIK-Together is newly a modified version of Tuning in to Kids that specifically focuses on the coparenting relationship (i.e., how parents work together to raise their children) and requires parents to both attend sessions. Through a mixed-method design, Australian facilitators who participated in the TIK-Together pilot study provided their perspectives on the acceptability (i.e., affective attitudes, burden, program benefits) and appropriateness of the program in their communities. It is essential to involve stakeholders, such as program facilitators, in pilot studies as they can provide valuable feedback from their first-hand experience with the program. Facilitators reported that TIK-Together was enjoyable and rewarding, and although delivery was straightforward, additional preparation time was required to manage program materials. Facilitators observed several program benefits, including coparents becoming more aligned and collaborative in their approach to parenting. Certain program components were particularly helpful for parents, including activities that were experiential, interactive, and reflective. Overall, facilitators deemed TIK-Together appropriate for their communities; however, it is not suitable for parents who are uncomfortable or unwilling to work alongside each other in sessions. Given the increased focus on a coparent approach to parenting interventions, the findings provide important insights for researchers and practitioners.

Nov 15th 2023, 10:48

Abstract
Approximately 20–40% of adolescents have diagnosable emotional and behavior problems. Of those youth with emotional and behavioral disorders, 55 to 80% do not receive needed mental health treatment. Youth with untreated emotional and behavioral problems are more likely to get into automobile accidents, have a drug/alcohol problem, drop out of high school, be arrested/incarcerated, or experience subsequent health or emotional and behavioral problems (Barkley, et al., 2008). Also, half of children treated with medication do not follow the medication regimen as prescribed or discontinue their medication altogether and more than half of families enrolled in evidence-based behavior therapy drop out. As such, other adjunctive approaches have been considered, such as exercise. The preferences children have for therapy are not well known, but their perceptions of treatments likely impact their engagement. The current pilot study sought to examine children’s preferences for medication, behavior therapy, exercise and some combination of these using a discrete choice experiment, a conjoint analysis technique. Participants were 44 children enrolled in a recreational and academic summer program, with 50% of the children previously meeting criteria for ADHD and/or scoring high in ADHD. Children prioritized behavioral outcomes and opportunities to engage in outdoor exercise at a highly intense level (e.g., running and swimming as fast as can, jumping). Simulation analyses or forecasting tools showed that children also preferred therapy that included exercise, and children preferred non-medication therapy that included exercise and group meetings with other children. Findings suggest that exercise added onto medication treatments, exercise added to therapy, and therapy that includes group meetings with other children have the potential to increase appeal of intervention and engagement in that intervention, which in turn might link to improved children’s mental health outcomes. Finally, chi-square analyses showed that children previously treated with medication preferred medication, while children who were medication naïve preferred group therapy with exercise. Implications for child engagement in evidence-based therapies and modifications to evidence-based therapies are discussed.

The health department rarely imposes fines or issues conditional licenses against the state’s roughly 190 largest residential care facilities, classified as Level IV, which provide less medical care than nursing homes but offer more homelike assisted living alternatives for older Mainers. From 2020 to 2022, the health department issued “statements of deficiencies” against these facilities for 59 resident rights violations and about 650 additional violations — involving anything from medication and record-keeping errors to unsanitary conditions and missed mandatory trainings.

Nov 15th 2023, 08:48

Abstract
Objective
We aimed to investigate value change and stability longitudinally in middle childhood.
Background
Values are the aspect of personality defining one’s aspirations. Research identifies meaningful values in middle childhood, yet we know little about the process of their development within individual.
Method
Children (N = 298; 53.7% girls, Mage = 7 years and 3 months, SD = 7.70 months, at the first time point) four times, annually.
Results
Rank-order stability increased with age and decreased with time-span. We found value hierarchy consistency, with value hierarchy similar to adolescents in the priority given to openness to change versus conservation values, and to adults in the priority given to self-transcendence values. Latent growth curve analyses indicated linear increase in openness to change, and curvilinear increase in self-transcendence values, and linear decrease in conservation and self-enhancement values, with some differences across ages. Value structure was better differentiated with age. Compatible values changed in similar, and conflicting values in opposite directions.
Conclusions
This paper suggests that in middle childhood, children can already report stable values. Moreover, middle childhood is characterized by coherent change patterns, of increase in the importance of growth, and decrease in the focus on conflicting protection values.

Nov 15th 2023, 07:48

Abstract

Purpose

      Bystander programs are central to efforts to address CSV prevention. In the U.S., they are mandated in the 2013 Campus Sexual Violence Elimination (Campus SaVE) Act. This practice note shares early exploration on one university campus in re-envisioning bystander programs by centering experiences, analyses, and activism of Black, Indigenous, and other women of color, students and youth, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and gender non-conforming people (LGBTQI +).

Method
We conducted a narrative review of the theoretical and empirical literature on bystander intervention programs, drew from documentary and visionary materials on alternative perspectives and practices, and reflected on research, policy, and practice challenges on our own campus.

Results
Bystander programs are designed to: enhance community members’ awareness, skills, and intervention intentions; address all members of a community; and change behavior by countering widespread misperceptions about the prevalence and acceptability of sexual violence. All three design elements remain aspirational. Intersectional, anti-racist, gender-transformative, and anti-carceral approaches offer strategies for shifting community and social norms to promote community accountability and transformative justice.

Conclusions
CSV prevention may be enhanced by re-envisioning U.S. bystander intervention programs and encouraging systemic approaches that integrate intersectional, anti-racist, gender-transformative, and anti-carceral insights and initiatives to promote more inclusive and transformational measures to prevent CSV.

Nov 15th 2023, 07:48

Abstract
Mindfulness has recently gained popularity in applied settings to enhance workplace safety, especially in safety-critical occupations such as healthcare and construction. In this review, we synthesize existing research across disciplines to establish a theoretical model of mindfulness and safety. Based on 32 empirical studies, we first summarize and critically analyze how mindfulness and safety are conceptualized and operationalized in the literature. We then consolidate empirical findings and conceptual arguments and draw upon the job demands–resources model to propose a theoretical model linking the basic benefits of mindfulness to safety-related job demands. Specifically, we propose that mindfulness (a) improves detection of and responses to workplace risks and hazards, (b) enhances concentration and self-monitoring of safety behaviors in cognitively demanding situations, and (c) facilitates more adaptive responses to emotional burdens. We further propose that the mindfulness–safety link can vary across boundary conditions, including personal and contextual characteristics. Our theoretical model serves as a foundation to integrate existing knowledge and guide future research. We conclude by highlighting specific opportunities for researchers and practitioners to advance research and applications of mindfulness and workplace safety.

More than half of the respondents – 53% – said they had given to charity while paying for their purchases in the prior year. People who give this way say they donate about $50 to charities annually – about a dollar per week on average. The most popular form of checkout charity was rounding their total up to the nearest dollar: About 85% of these impulse givers told us that they did that.

Nov 15th 2023, 06:48

Abstract


Purpose
Research on the interpersonal violence experience among women with incarceration histories has primarily focused on the impact of discrete forms of victimization or used an additive measure of experiences. Few studies, however, have examined patterns of victimization among this population. The current study uses the Add Health data to explore patterns of interpersonal violence exposure among women with incarceration histories and examine the association between victimization patterns and mental health and substance use problems.

Method
The study sample included 418 women with incarceration histories. Latent class analysis was conducted to generate patterns of interpersonal violence victimization. Multivariate logistic regressions were then employed to examine group differences in mental health and substance use problems.

Results
Four distinct interpersonal violence patterns were identified among women with incarceration histories, characterized by high lifetime physical violence, high lifetime sexual and intimate partner violence, high childhood abuse, and low violence victimization. Multivariate logistic regressions revealed that “high lifetime sexual and intimate partner violence” experience was associated with higher odds of depressive symptomology, anxiety, suicidal ideation and attempt, and alcohol and illicit drug misuses compared to “low violence victimization.” Moreover, “high childhood abuse” experience was associated with higher odds of PTSD and marijuana and other illicit drug misuses than “low violence victimization.”

Conclusions
Findings suggest using a multifaceted interpersonal violence assessment to understand violence victimization and related needs among women with incarceration histories. Future research is needed to explore whether violence victimization experience, incarceration, and substance use/mental health interact over their life course.

Nov 15th 2023, 05:46

American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®, Ahead of Print. Objective: Personal memories of the death of a spouse can guide bereavement adjustment. Place of death and quality of death are end-of-life factors that are likely to influence death experiences and formation of subsequent personal memories. The current study employs narrative content-analysis to examine how place and quality of death relate to affective sequences present in older adults’ final memories from the death of their spouse. Method: Based on power analyses, 53 older adults were recruited and completed a Final Memory Interview. They also reported place of spouse’s death (ie, in hospital, out of hospital) and quality of death across four subscales. Final memory narratives were reliably content-analyzed (interrater agreements >.70), revealing positive and negative affective sequences, including: redemption, contamination, positive stability, and negative stability. Findings: Experiencing the death of a spouse in hospital was related to narrating final memories with contamination. In terms of quality of death, reporting a less comforting social environment at time of death was related to the presence of redemption in final memories. Reporting that one’s spouse received appropriate medical care related to narrating memories that showed positive stability. Conclusions: Final memories are carried with the bereaved long after their loss. Positive final memories appear to stem from witnessing a comfortable, medically appropriate death outside of a hospital setting. End-of-life ‘that is’ between care and aligned with patients’ values for place and treatment may be critical for spouses’ formation of constructive final memories and bereavement adjustment.

Nov 15th 2023, 04:48

Abstract
The study sought to understand the position of the Johanne Marange Apostolic Church on women and girls’ rights in Zimbabwe. Engaging in this study came out of the realization that women and girls’ rights are compromised in religious settings and the issue goes on unreported. Deploying a qualitative research methodology framework buttressed by the gendered human rights–based theoretical approach, the study collected empirical evidence through semi-structured in-depth interviews as well as participant observation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty participants — fifteen young women and five males. All the twenty participants were members of the Johanne Marange Apostolic Church. Snowball sampling was used in selecting the participants. It was established that the church doctrine within the Johanne Marange Apostolic Church provides a conducive environment for the abuse of women and the girl child under the guise of ‘sacredness’ of the religious sect. This has been and is still going on unchecked. The study concluded that abuse cases through forced and teen marriages to older men are facilitated by both adult men and women and is highly safeguarded within religious cultism. The study recommends that the government and non-state actors need to enhance child protection services and programmes in religious settings for the purpose of protecting and removing the vulnerabilities of girls within the church by prosecuting perpetrators.

For several years, researchers have understood that the hallucinatory effects of psychedelics can, in theory, be separated from the other ways the drugs affect our mental state and brain structure. But until recently, they have not been able to design a psychedelic that reliably produces only the neurocognitive effects and not the hallucinatory ones. That may soon change.

Abstract
Immigration policies shape access to services and are linked to immigrant family health. Due to the growth of immigrant families, a shift to local solutions advancing equitable access to services is needed to improve immigrant health. Informed by qualitative data collected from 23 key stakeholders of organizational and government organizations, this study examines community responses to the needs of immigrant families along the US–Mexico border during COVID-19. Participants described two overarching themes: (1) multiple challenges worsened by COVID-19 and (2) innovative strategies responding to increased services needed among immigrant families. Results advance COVID-19 response strategies: (1) community organizing and empowerment, (2) immigrant inclusion in community agency practices, (3) development of community partnerships centered on immigrants, and (4) benefits of local sanctuary policies. Findings suggest local-level solutions, inclusive of immigrant community voices, can mitigate structural barriers and ensure equitable access to services addressing the health and social needs of immigrant families.

Nov 15th 2023, 02:49

Abstract
The paper interrogates narratives of adolescent street girls of the Harare Central Business District, Zimbabwe, exiting commercial sex work. A qualitative research methodology punctuated by street ethnography was adopted to gather data for the paper. A feminist social work approach and empowerment theory were used to have a deeper understanding of the lives of these children. Research findings suggest that there were very few cases where adolescent street girls of Harare Central Business District were successfully exiting transactional sex. There were varied and multiple reasons why they could not successfully exit commercial sex work. Some of them included addiction on commercial sex work, limited survival options outside commercial sex work, peer pressure, street subculture, and substance abuse. The paper concludes by advocating and lobbying key stakeholders such as the Government of Zimbabwe to improve the lives of children in street situations through provision of social protection mechanisms.

Nov 15th 2023, 02:48

International Social Work, Ahead of Print. This article seeks to fill the research gap on the psychosocial and integration needs of unaccompanied children and the challenges they encounter to reach autonomy and social integration. To address this issue, the study utilized a qualitative research survey interviewing 18 field professionals, which indicated that the key challenges include insufficient preparation, institutionalization, uncertainty about the future, asylum procedures, and social exclusion, while proposing the implementation of an integration plan focusing on education, vocational training, and contact with the local community. This article aims to offer a better understanding of children’s needs and how practitioners could protect children more effectively.

Nov 15th 2023, 01:49

Abstract
This study examines the associations between religiosity and labour market attainments (LMA) among Muslim-Arab working women in Israel. Specifically, it addresses the occupation measures of wage, rank, and occupational prestige. For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the study applies new multifaceted methodology to assess religiosity, (El-Mansour, Y.: The five dimensions of muslim religiosity. Results of an empirical study. Methods, Data, Analyses. 8(1), 53–78 (2014)) designed for and validated among Muslims, whereas previous studies have used variables available in existing surveys or identical measurement for members of all religions. The findings draw on a field survey among 219 participants analysed quantitatively. The picture drawn based on this methodology is more complex than and fairly different from earlier studies. Core findings reveal a negative association between religiosity and labour market outcomes, especially regarding religious duties and publicly manifested orthopraxis, whereas internal aspects of religiosity such as belief and religious knowledge have no apparent occupational implications. The findings are discussed in the context of contemporary debates regarding Muslims’ integration in Western countries, and the Arab-Muslim native minority in Israel.
