Nov 30th 2023, 12:56

Data collection is more than just numbers and statistics. When collecting data on youth and families experiencing homelessness or dealing with familial conflict, a significant and frequently overlooked challenge arises: the need to navigate emotional labour. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of emotional labour during the data collection phase of research, drawing from our experience with the Family and Natural Supports (FNS) intervention program. 
Case Study: Family and Natural Supports Intervention 
The FNS intervention aims to prevent youth homelessness by improving relationships within families and among chosen natural supports, including meaningful adults in a young person’s life. Through the Making the Shift Demonstration Lab’s FNS project, Canadian Observatory on Homelessness researchers collect data from young adults and their chosen family members/natural supports to understand their goals and experiences within the program. However, to achieve these objectives, our researchers are faced with complex emotions, discussions and considerations that must be approached with the utmost sensitivity.  
Understanding Emotional Labour
Emotional labour refers to the effort required to manage and regulate one’s emotions in a professional setting. In community-based research with at-risk youth and families, emotional labour involves the researcher’s ability to navigate and address the emotions, fears, and anxieties that participants may experience during the research process. It is an often underestimated yet essential to keep top of mind when doing research.  
Engaging with a young person who is at-risk of experiencing homelessness due to family conflict can be a complex and emotionally challenging task. Even after being separated from their family and the conflict, the young person may still experience feelings of isolation and confusion as they try to navigate life on their own terms. It is important for researchers to consider these emotions when speaking with the youth. On the other hand, when communicating with a family member or natural support, it is important to acknowledge their desires for the young adult and the limitations imposed by their current situation.  
It can be emotionally taxing to hear about the hardships and challenges that at-risk youth and families face. Researchers must be prepared to cope with their own emotional reactions while maintaining professionalism and taking care of their well-being. By recognizing and respecting the emotional labour needed in these situations, researchers can create a more inclusive and ethical research environment, ultimately leading to more meaningful and impactful insights. 
Lessons Learned
Dealing with emotional labour when working with at-risk youth and families can be challenging. Based on our experiences with the FNS intervention, we have developed a list of tips to help researchers navigate this aspect of their work more effectively: 
1. Empathy, Active Listening, and Emotional Support: 

Cultivate empathy and actively listen to participants. Try to understand their perspectives, feelings, and experiences without judgment. Reassure them that their experiences are valuable. 
Practice reflective listening, which involves paraphrasing and summarizing what participants say to demonstrate that you are genuinely engaged and value their input. 
Offer emotional support when necessary, but be mindful not to overstep boundaries or act as a therapist. Connect participants with appropriate resources, such as support services or counselling, if they need professional help. 

2. Establish Boundaries: 

Recognize your own emotional boundaries and limits. Be aware of when you might feel overwhelmed or emotionally drained and have strategies to cope with these emotions. 
Understand that it’s okay to take breaks and seek support when needed to prevent emotional burnout. Burnout is a genuine concern, and it’s essential to have support systems in place to manage the emotional toll of this work. 
Empower your participants to establish their own boundaries. Prioritize Informed Consent and remind participants that they have the option to withdraw their involvement at any point without consequences and that they only need to share what they feel comfortable sharing.  

3. Self-Care and Debriefing: 

Practice self-care regularly, including exercise, mindfulness, or other stress-reduction techniques, to maintain your own emotional resilience. 
Seek support from colleagues, supervisors, or mental health professionals if you find the emotional labour particularly challenging. 
Regularly meet with supervisors or mentors to discuss your experiences and any emotional challenges you face in your research. Supervision can help you process emotions and receive guidance.  
Conduct debriefing sessions with your research team to share and process emotional experiences collectively.  
Maintain a journal or documentation of your emotional experiences and reflections during the research process. This can help you better understand your own emotional responses and growth as a researcher. 

4. Trauma-Informed Practices, Training and Education: 

Train yourself and your team in trauma-informed research practices. Understand how trauma can affect participants and develop strategies to minimize potential re-traumatization. 
Stay updated on the latest research and best practices in community-based research with at-risk populations. Participate in relevant training programs and workshops to improve your skills and awareness. 

In conclusion, emotional labour is an inherent part of community-based research, and managing it effectively is essential for the success of a research project and the well-being of the researchers involved. By approaching this type of work with sensitivity and care, it is possible to conduct meaningful research while respecting the emotional experiences of at-risk youth and their families. Keeping participants’ emotional experiences top of mind reminds us that behind every data point lies a human experience worth understanding.

Nov 30th 2023, 10:13

Abstract
Antiretroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective in preventing HIV. Despite its promise, PrEP use is low, especially among young Black men who have sex with men (YBMSM). The prevalence of HIV in Mississippi (MS) is among the highest in the United States, with the bulk of new infections occurring amongst YBMSM living in Jackson, MS. We recruited 20 PrEP-eligible YBMSM and 10 clinic staff from MS health clinics between October 2021 and April 2022. Data were collected remotely using in-depth interviews and a brief survey, which lasted approximately 45–60 min. Interview content included PrEP knowledge/experiences, HIV risk perception, and PrEP use barriers and facilitators. Qualitative data were coded then organized using NVivo. Using thematic analysis methodology, data were assessed for current barriers to PrEP use. An array of barriers were identified by participants. Barriers included structural factors (cost of PrEP, lack of discreet clinics, time commitment, competing interests); social factors (unaware of HIV risk, stigma and homophobia, fear that partners would find out about PrEP use, not knowing anyone on PrEP); behavioral factors (sexual risk factors, denial, less priority for prevention vs treatment); and clinical factors (misunderstood side effects, fear PrEP won’t work). Significant barriers to PrEP use among YBMSM stem from structural, social, behavioral, and clinical factors. These results will inform intervention efforts tailored to mitigate barriers and improve PrEP uptake among YBMSM in the southern United States.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:50

Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, Ahead of Print. This study aimed to explore the perceptions and experiences of professionals working in residential care (RC) settings (i.e., caregivers and directors) about youth-caregiver relationship quality (YCRQ). Method: A qualitative study was developed in Portugal including 15 caregivers (73.3% women, 23–50 years) and 15 directors (73.3% women, 34–45 years) working in 18 generalist RC units. Data were collected through six focus groups using a semi-structured interview script. Data were analyzed following a content analysis approach using NVIVO 12 software. Results: Our findings revealed that the concept of YCRQ in RC was mainly described in terms of good qualities, and the organizational determinants of YCRQ relationships were most mentioned both by caregivers and directors (i.e., organizational social context, intervention models and strategies). Individual characteristics of youth and staff were less described as determinants of YCRQ. These findings provide important insights for practice. Conclusions: efforts should be made to design interventions in RC that aim to improve its organizational social climate so as to provide caregivers with the necessary support and resources that enable them to enhance positive YCRQ.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:50

Journal of Applied Gerontology, Ahead of Print. Some studies suggest that childhood can affect some later outcomes. This cross-sectional study of the first phase of the Ardakan Cohort Study on Aging (ACSA) on 5,197 individuals examined the effects of childhood socioeconomic and health on aging well. Childhood socioeconomic status (SES) was measured using parents’ education and self-expressed family’s financial status. Quality of Life (SF-12), Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), WHO well-being scale, and self-reported health questionnaire were used. All data, including childhood experiences, was collected at a single time point. Poor childhood health was associated with lower well-being, life satisfaction, and mental quality of life (OR: .53, p = .032, OR: 0.49, p = .019, and β: −3.51, p = .008, respectively). The family’s financial status during childhood was associated with the mental and physical quality of life, satisfaction, well-being, and health (all p < .05). Fathers and mothers who had some level of education increased the odds of being healthy by 1.20 and 1.49 times, respectively. Childhood circumstances affect older adults’ health and social conditions. Policies to improve childhood health and SES should be prioritized.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:50

International Journal of Behavioral Development, Ahead of Print. This study investigated the interactive effects of maternal and paternal warmth as well as behavioral control on adolescents’ anxiety in Ghana and whether these linkages varied between adolescents in rural and urban contexts. Participants were 211 junior high school students (61% girls; 39% boys; Mage = 13.43; SDage = 2.03) who completed measures of parenting behaviors and experiences of anxiety. Results revealed significant two-way interaction effects such that higher levels of maternal warmth in conjunction with lower levels of paternal warmth were associated with higher levels of adolescents’ anxiety. In addition, higher levels of paternal (but not maternal) warmth predicted lower anxiety in urban families, but not rural families. Moreover, higher maternal behavioral control combined with higher paternal behavioral control predicted lower anxiety, although this association was only observed for a small subset of the sample. Findings highlight the complementary roles of both mothers and fathers in influencing adolescents’ anxiety and the importance of family context in shaping parenting influence. Interventions targeting positive parenting behaviors should focus on both mothers and fathers.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:50

American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®, Ahead of Print. IntroductionAdvance directives (ADs) promote patient autonomy in end-of-life (EOL) care, including an individual’s EOL medical treatment preferences. This study aims to better understand preferences regarding EOL medical treatment among community-dwelling adults (18 and older) residing in the United States and examine the association between sociodemographic characteristics and EOL medical treatment preferences.MethodsUtilizing a cross-sectional study and snowball sampling methodology, community-dwelling adults completed a survey containing two different ADs and a questionnaire with sociodemographic information. Univariate analyses were used to summarize EOL medical treatment preferences among the sample, and bivariate analyses (Chi-square and Fisher’s Exact tests) were performed to examine the association between sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, and race/ethnicity) and EOL medical treatment preferences.ResultsThe mean age of the 166 participants was 50 (SD: 21.65, range: 18-93), with 58.4% being White and 61.4% being female. Generally, when EOL scenarios involved brain damage or a coma, more participants indicated that they did not want life-support treatment. Age and race were both associated with EOL medical treatment preferences, but no significant differences were observed in the bivariate results by gender. Largely, young and middle-aged adults, along with Black participants, were more likely to prefer more aggressive EOL medical treatments than older adults and White participants.ConclusionOverall, EOL medical treatment preferences varied among participants. The study findings indicate that adults develop different preferences for EOL medical treatment, with some of the variation attributable to sociodemographic characteristics such as age and race.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:49

International Journal of Behavioral Development, Ahead of Print. This study explored the dynamics of motivational development across late elementary and early middle school. Using longitudinal data from a cross-section of fifth to seventh-grade students, analyses examined whether parents’ and teachers’ warm involvement shows unique and/or mediated effects on students’ academic engagement and whether engagement feeds back into adults’ continued involvement. Parent and teacher involvement each predicted changes in adolescents’ engagement; parental involvement also played an indirect role via student–teacher relationships; and students who were more engaged reported that adults responded with increasing levels of involvement. These models provide support for a reciprocal dynamic that could lead to virtuous cycles increasing in both involvement and engagement or to vicious cycles amplifying disaffection and withdrawal of involvement over time. Future studies, using time series or observational data, could further unpack these dynamics, examining processes of transmission, mediators, and effects on the longer-term development of academic engagement.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:49

American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine®, Ahead of Print. IntroductionDocusate sodium’s efficacy is widely debated. Several studies on opioid induced constipation (OIC) concluded that docusate sodium vs either placebo or in combination with sennosides provided no benefit.ObjectiveThis medication use evaluation aimed to investigate constipation treatment trends within the West Palm Beach VA Healthcare System Community Living Center, and to assess the therapeutic effectiveness of docusate sodium.MethodsThis was a retrospective review of data extracted from April 1, 2022, to September 30, 2022. Patients were included if they had oral orders for docusate sodium, sennosides, lactulose, and/or polyethylene glycol. Patients without active bowel regimen medications were excluded. Requirements for rescue constipation medication was evaluated.ResultsA total of 98 patients were reviewed. Docusate sodium was used in 43% (n = 42/98) of patients. Rescue medications were needed in 58% (n = 22/38) of patients receiving oral docusate sodium. 52% (n = 29/56) of patients without docusate sodium required rescue medications. For OIC treatment, when docusate sodium was added to other bowel regimens, 59% (n = 17/29) of patients needed a rescue medication, while 66% (n = 19/29) of patients without docusate sodium required a rescue medication. Patients on morphine were given the greatest quantity of rescue constipation medications (73%, n = 16/22).ConclusionOral docusate sodium did not reduce the requirement for rescue constipation medications in the WPB VAHCS CLC population. When evaluating constipation treatment, docusate sodium may supply minimal benefit and could be identified as nonessential for deprescribing efforts. Morphine was the most constipating opioid used in this patient population, requiring more aggressive bowel regimens.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:49

Journal of Aging and Health, Ahead of Print. ObjectivesTo quantify inconsistent self-reporting of chronic conditions between the baseline (2011–2015) and first follow-up surveys (2015–2018) in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA), and to explore methods to resolve inconsistent responses and impact on multimorbidity.MethodsCommunity-dwelling adults aged 45–85 years in the baseline and first follow-up surveys were included (n = 45,184). At each survey, participants self-reported whether they ever had a physician diagnosis of 35 chronic conditions. Identifiable inconsistent responses were enumerated.Results32–40% of participants had at least one inconsistent response across all conditions. Illness-related information (e.g., taking medication) resolved most inconsistent responses (>93%) while computer-assisted software asking participants to confirm their inconsistent disease status resolved ≤53%. Using these adjudication methods, multimorbidity prevalence at follow-up increased by ≤1.6% compared to the prevalence without resolving inconsistent responses.DiscussionInconsistent self-reporting of chronic conditions is common but may not substantially affect multimorbidity prevalence. Future research should validate methods to resolve inconsistencies.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:49

International Journal of Behavioral Development, Ahead of Print. To better understand the role of neuroendocrinological regulation in adolescent mental health, stress reactivity needs to be analyzed through both the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. Accordingly, this study examined how adolescents’ internalizing and externalizing mental health symptoms are associated with their salivary alpha-amylase and cortisol levels, responses, and coordination (symmetry versus asymmetry). We utilized a developmentally salient stress task of mother–adolescent conflict discussion. Eighty 18–20-year-old late adolescents (55% girls) participated in a home laboratory assessment involving a 10-min conflict discussion with their mothers. Five adolescent saliva samples were collected to measure alpha-amylase and cortisol levels before, immediately after, and in 10-min intervals following the conflict discussion, to indicate stress reactivity. Adolescents had reported their internalizing (depression, anxiety, somatization) and externalizing (inattention, hyperactivity, anger control problems) symptoms 1 year earlier as part of a prospective family study. Internalizing symptoms were associated with adolescents’ high baseline cortisol levels, but not with cortisol responses or alpha-amylase levels or responses. In contrast, externalizing symptoms were associated with blunted alpha-amylase responses. Neither internalizing nor externalizing symptoms were associated with asymmetry between alpha-amylase and cortisol reactivity. The mother–adolescent conflict discussion was relevant as a stress stimulus to induce neuroendocrinological stress responses in adolescents. The nature of mental health problems was important for stress reactivity, yet, we found no evidence about mental health problems being related to endocrinological asymmetry in adolescents.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:49

Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, Ahead of Print. In debates about the role(s) and scale of entrepreneurial philanthropy in democracies, scholars discuss the erosion of distinctive public and private spheres and interests, and the replacement of the public sphere. This has occurred at the expense of public deliberation and participation, in favor of the reification of individuals and the role of experts/expertise. Drawing upon John Dewey’s The Public and Its Problems (1927/2016), I argue that there is an eclipse of the publicity of the public. This informs my case for the (re)conceptualization of philanthropy as a public, characterized by (a) the philanthropist as a social rather than an atomistic being, (b) the philanthropy-state dynamic and the publics’ claims, and (c) part of the radical vision of philanthropy. To ensure that private and public have analytical and practical resonance, it is imperative to (re)frame and (re)conceptualize what these concepts mean to entrepreneurial philanthropy and for its role in democracies.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:49

Journal of Aging and Health, Ahead of Print. ObjectivesThis study examines age patterns in religious attendance in older Mexican Americans. Previous research has focused on majority-white samples, limiting generalizability to other groups. Research in ethnic minority populations is needed.MethodsWe descriptively analyze Hispanic Established Population for the Epidemiological Study of the Elderly (Hispanic EPESE) data and estimate a mixed effects linear growth curve model to assess the relationship between age and religious attendance. Results: Descriptive results reveal an inverse U-shaped pattern of religious attendance. Results from the growth curve model indicate rising religious attendance after age 65 and a decline after the mid-70s, an earlier decline compared to majority-white studies. Discussion: These findings have implications for individual well-being, the functioning of religious congregations, and for understanding the patterning of a salient form of social participation among older adults. Further research is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and to examine religious attendance patterns in understudied populations.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:49

International Journal of Behavioral Development, Ahead of Print. Affect-biased attention is an important predictive factor of children’s early socio-emotional development, possibly shaped by the family environment. Our study aimed to reveal children’s temporal dynamic patterns of affect-biased attention by looking at time series of attention to emotional faces, individual differences in temporal dynamics, and their relations with parenting practices. Sixty Chinese children (27 girls; mean age: 7.92 ± 1.09 years) viewed emotional–neutral face pairs (angry, sad, and happy) for 3,000 ms while their eye movements were recorded. First, results showed that overall looking time rather than manual reaction time revealed affect-biased attention: children looked more at angry and happy faces than neutral faces, although they looked at sad and neutral faces approximately the same amount of time. Temporal course analysis revealed further differences in visual attention to emotional faces: attention bias to emotional faces emerged early after the stimuli onset (before 400 ms), even for sad faces. This bias did not hold for the entire stimulus presentation time, and only the attention bias to happy faces appeared again in the later period. Second, we applied a data-driven cluster approach to the time series of attention to emotional faces and revealed three subgroups of dynamic affect-biased attention. Finally, the machine learning method revealed that positive parenting was related to the temporal dynamic patterns of children’s attention to sad faces.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:49

Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, Ahead of Print. This study aims to explore the effect of social media use on fundraising by nonprofit organizations (NPOs). To do so, we analyze the accounts of 83 Spanish nongovernmental development organizations on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram over a 5-week period. Our results show that social media can be a useful tool for NPO fundraising. Specifically, although mere presence on social media has no effect on the donations raised by the organization, the size of the NPO’s network (followers), its social media activity (posts), content (posts explicitly requesting donations), and follower engagement do influence fundraising. This study helps to highlight the usefulness of social media as a fundraising tool and to show the differences among platforms, format, and content of posts. In particular, NPOs who intend to increase fundraising should actively participate in social media—especially Twitter and YouTube—not overuse stories and increase posts that solicit donations.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:49

Journal of Aging and Health, Ahead of Print. ObjectivesThis study explored how coping moderates the association between discrimination and health outcomes in lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) and heterosexual midlife and older adults.MethodsThis study analyzed longitudinal data from 163 LGB and 326 propensity-matched heterosexual midlife and older adults over approximately 20 years, using the Midlife in the United States study.ResultsDiscrimination was associated with slower chronic condition accumulation over time for LGB individuals. Problem-focused and avoidance coping moderated discrimination’s impact on mental health in LGB participants over time, and in heterosexual participants, they moderated the association between discrimination and chronic conditions.DiscussionThe results suggest a potential “steeling” effect in LGB midlife and older adults facing higher discrimination levels. Furthermore, the findings suggest that effective coping strategies for mitigating the adverse impacts of discrimination on physical and mental health may vary by sexual orientation.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:49

Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, Ahead of Print. Recent scholarship on organizational change has de-emphasized environment, core competencies at founding, and structural inertia in favor of the study of strategic management. We encourage renewed consideration of forces over which managers have less control. In a reconsideration and conceptual extension of Hager and Brudney’s nature and nurture influences on nonprofit efforts to recruit volunteers, we introduce central dimensions of organizational ecology theory. We assert that more attention to the tenets of organizational ecology will sensitize the field to the influence of environments in which organizations operate. Consistent with Hager and Brudney, our longitudinal assessment of nonprofits not only records the value of purposeful adjustments of programs but also highlights how the evolution of structural conditions plays an essential role in core organizational outcomes in volunteer management. Beyond the usual validation of strategic management, we emphasize that the influence of environment and structure is an essential determinant of the fates of organizations over time.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:49

American Sociological Review, Ahead of Print. Despite social scientists’ long-standing interest in the influences of siblings, previous research has not settled the debates on how relevant sibship size is to child development and whether growing up with more siblings could be beneficial. Using 30 years of longitudinal data and fixed-effects models, this study offers the most comprehensive evidence on how sibship size is tied to cognitive and sociobehavioral development. We also advance the literature by systematically comparing the consequences of gaining a sibling for children with varying ordinal positions. Contrary to prior studies using selective data from limited observation spans, we find that children experience net decreases in cognitive test scores as their family size grows. At the same time, our analysis shows that sibling additions are only important to first- and second-born children’s—not later-born children’s—cognitive development. Even for the first- and second-born, the marginal effect of adding a sibling lessens with each addition. Our results thus demonstrate the time-dependent nature of family resource-dilution processes. For sociobehavioral development, the evidence indicates that having an older sibling is beneficial, but gaining a younger sibling increases behavioral problems for some (e.g., first-born children). Because more children from large families have older siblings, children from larger families exhibit less problematic behavior, on average. By uncovering the complex relationship between siblings and noncognitive development, this study also generally contributes to the sociology of family and inequality.

Nov 30th 2023, 09:48

Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, Ahead of Print. In the wake of unethical practices by some nonprofit organizations (NPOs), donors have called for better monitoring, to which some NPOs have responded by adjusting their donor-based transparency practices. Yet despite momentum for such efforts, a comprehensive conceptualization and operationalization of NPOs’ transparency remains missing, partly because knowledge about donors’ information requirements is limited. Accordingly, the present research proposes conceptualizing NPOs’ transparency, as perceived by donors, as a three-dimensional construct, composed of information accessibility, completeness, and accuracy. With a scale development procedure and three distinct empirical studies, this article establishes a reliable, valid measure of NPOs’ perceived transparency. Combined, the conceptualization and operationalization offer a comprehensive overview of donors’ information needs that can enhance the study of organizational transparency.
