Sep 29th 2023, 15:22

Abstract
Background
Drug-related readmissions (DRAs) are defined as rehospitalizations with an adverse drug event as their main or significant contributory cause. DRAs represent a major adverse health burden for older patients. A prediction model which identified older hospitalized patients at high risk of a DRA <1 year was previously developed using the OPERAM trial cohort, a European cluster randomized controlled trial including older hospitalized patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy. This study has performed external validation and updated the prediction model consequently.
Methods
The MedBridge trial cohort (a multicenter cluster randomized crossover trial performed in Sweden) was used as a validation cohort. It consisted of 2516 hospitalized patients aged ≥65 years. Model performance was assessed by: (1) discriminative power, assessed by the C-statistic with a 95% confidence interval (CI); (2) calibration, assessed by visual examination of the calibration plot and use of the Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test; and (3) overall accuracy, assessed by the scaled Brier score. Several updating methods were carried out to improve model performance.
Results
In total, 2516 older patients were included in the validation cohort, of whom 582 (23.1%) experienced a DRA <1 year. In the validation cohort, the original model showed a good overall accuracy (scaled Brier score 0.03), but discrimination was moderate (C-statistic 0.62 [95% CI 0.59–0.64]), and calibration showed underestimation of risks. In the final updated model, the predictor “cirrhosis with portal hypertension” was removed and “polypharmacy” was added. This improved the model’s discriminative capability to a C-statistic of 0.64 (95% CI 0.59–0.70) and enhanced calibration plots. Overall accuracy remained good.
Conclusions
The updated OPERAM DRA prediction model may be a useful tool in clinical practice to estimate the risk of DRAs in older hospitalized patients subsequent to discharge. Our efforts lay the groundwork for the future development of models with even better performance.

Sep 29th 2023, 14:21

Abstract
Harm reduction (HR) approaches to substance use show promising efficacy, but limited research exists exploring professional counselors’ perceptions of HR. An online survey gathered data from 395 substance use providers, including 128 professional counselors. In measuring HR acceptance, t-tests compared this sample to prior samples, an analysis of variance compared counselors to other providers, and multiple regression explored the influence of counselor identity factors. Empathic responsiveness and positive social justice attitudes were predictors of HR acceptance. Counselors’ perceptions of HR were similar to other providers. Results indicated that counselor identity influences HR perceptions, with implications for practice and training considered.

Sep 29th 2023, 12:54

Abstract
In the United States, some of the most important environmental policy innovations of the past decades have occurred at the state level. Net metering policy is one kind of policy that states have widely adopted in support of decarbonization goals. The widespread adoption of net metering policies varying in policy design, defined here as policy content, offers an opportunity to investigate to what extent policies that diffuse widely bear comparable designs, and furthermore, what factors influence diffusion in policy designs. Availing these opportunities, in this paper, we investigate (1) how (dis-)similar the designs of American states’ original net metering policies were; and (2) what factors explain the diffusion of policies that share similar design elements. To support our investigation, we model using event history analysis in a directed dyad setting, the factors that explain differential duration to adoption of net metering legislation containing specific elements of design by policy receiver states. We find that bipartisan legislatures are more likely to adopt the majority of design elements. This suggests that net metering appeals to policy makers across the political spectrum and that the latter compromise in integrating elements of policy design that benefit or burden different constituents. We also find that over time, states become less likely to emulate policy designs from jurisdictions whose citizenry embraces dissimilar values, suggesting that policy makers learn to tailor incentives to their local policy targets.
摘要
过去几十年，一些最重要的美国环境政策创新出现在州一级。净计量电价政策是各州广泛采用的一种政策，用于支持低碳目标。拥有不同政策设计的净计量电价政策的广泛采用(这里定义为政策内容)，提供了一个机会来调查广泛扩散的政策在多大程度上具有可比的设计，以及哪些因素会影响政策设计的扩散。基于此，我们在本文中研究了(1)美国各州最初的净计量电价政策设计在多大程度上是(不)相似的；(2)哪些因素能解释一系列具有相似设计要素的政策的扩散。为了支持我们的调查，我们在定向配对背景下使用事件史分析，对一系列因素进行建模，这些因素解释了各州在“采用包含具体设计要素的净计量电价政策”方面的不同持续时间。我们发现，两党立法机构更有可能采用大部分设计要素。这表明，净计量电价对不同政治派别的决策者都具有吸引力，而决策者在整合政策设计的要素方面作出了妥协，这些要素使不同选民受益或承受负担。我们还发现，随着时间的推移，各州不太可能效仿那些拥护不同价值观的司法管辖区的政策设计，这表明决策者学会根据地方政策目标制定激励措施。.
Resumen
En los Estados Unidos, algunas de las innovaciones de política ambiental más importantes de las últimas décadas se han producido a nivel estatal. La política de medición neta es un tipo de política que los estados han adoptado ampliamente en apoyo de los objetivos de descarbonización. La adopción generalizada de políticas de medición neta que varían en el diseño de políticas, definidas aquí como contenido de políticas, ofrece una oportunidad para investigar en qué medida las políticas que se difunden ampliamente tienen diseños comparables y, además, qué factores influyen en la difusión en los diseños de políticas. Aprovechando estas oportunidades, en este artículo investigamos (1) cuán (des)similares eran los diseños de las políticas originales de medición neta de los estados estadounidenses; y (2) qué factores explican la difusión de políticas que comparten elementos de diseño similares. Para respaldar nuestra investigación, modelamos mediante el análisis del historial de eventos en un entorno diada dirigido, los factores que explican la duración diferencial de la adopción de la legislación de medición neta que contiene elementos específicos de diseño por parte de los estados receptores de políticas. Encontramos que las legislaturas bipartidistas son más propensas a adoptar la mayoría de los elementos de diseño. Esto sugiere que la medición neta atrae a los formuladores de políticas de todo el espectro político y que estos últimos se comprometen a integrar elementos de diseño de políticas que benefician o gravan a diferentes constituyentes. También encontramos que con el tiempo, los estados se vuelven menos propensos a emular los diseños de políticas de jurisdicciones cuya ciudadanía adopta valores diferentes, lo que sugiere que los formuladores de políticas aprenden a adaptar los incentivos a sus objetivos de políticas locales.

Sep 29th 2023, 12:19

The aim of this study is to investigate whether income has different relationships to subjective well-being in richer countries compared to poorer ones. We report analyses based on interview data collected in the European Social Survey (n = 72,574) that examine how income relates to life satisfaction (LS) and emotional well-being (EWB) in 28 European countries, varying in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. Our results indicate that the within-country correlations of income with LS and EWB decrease as GDP per capita increases. Partial correlations controlling for EWB are positive but do not vary with GDP per capita, whereas partial correlations controlling for LS vary inversely with GDP per capita. We hypothesise that the invariant income-LS relationships result from effects of relative income on social comparisons, while the varying income-EWB relationships result from the negative impacts of time scarcity in richer countries and the buffering of negative experiences in poorer ones.

Sep 29th 2023, 11:23

The Family Journal, Ahead of Print. This study investigated and evaluated the interactive role of the dependent variable—marital satisfaction—with the independent variables of grace, self-compassion, perfectionism, legalism. The purpose of the study was to bring an awareness and understanding of the variables that predict marital satisfaction. The sample size consisted of 63 participants, 23 males and 40 females, ranging in age from 25 to 64. All participants reported themselves to be legally married, with 46% married between 10 and 25 years. A quantitative methodology was used to explore the study questions, including a Pearson correlation and a multiple linear regression. For statistical analysis, a simultaneous multiple regression was used to examine the predictive variables in marital satisfaction, an analysis of which showed that the variables together significantly influenced marital satisfaction. Independently, none of the variables were found to be significant. The Pearson correlation identified a significant positive correlation between self-compassion and perfectionism and a significant negative correlation between grace and legalism. The findings implicate that grace and self-compassion seem to have had the strongest effect on the model, impacting the results.

Sep 29th 2023, 11:17

Health Promotion Practice, Ahead of Print. Laundromats are a regularly visited, highly localized community venue, especially in underserved communities. Few health literacy and health-promotion programs have taken place in laundromats, and there have been no efforts to apply community-based participatory research approaches in this setting. Literacy programs and cancer-prevention initiatives have been held in laundromats, but little data exist on the empirical outcomes of such initiatives or whether the programs have been fashioned as a collaboration between community and researchers. In this paper, we present a brief overview of literacy and cancer-prevention initiatives that have taken place in laundromats and introduce our Wash and Spin Toward Health/Washington Avanzando la Salud Hispana (W.A.S.H.) project. We describe how we applied community-based participatory research principles to launch this effort and identify both benefits and challenges of this approach. We hope this project will stimulate greater interest in laundromat settings for outreach and education efforts, especially those addressing disparities in health literacy and access.

Sep 29th 2023, 10:26

Urban Affairs Review, Ahead of Print. People receiving government assistance have personal stakes in the political process and intimate knowledge of policy implementation. However, data limitations have made it hard to measure voting among those receiving assistance across various programs. Using linked administrative data from a large county in Pennsylvania, merged with the Pennsylvania voter file, we calculate voting rates among benefits recipients. We find that people receiving means-tested benefits (cash assistance, food assistance, health insurance, disability benefits, childcare, and housing) vote at just over half the rate of other county residents (45 percent compared with 84 percent in 2020). In the 2020 election, public benefits recipients comprised over 20 percent of the voting-eligible population but only 12 percent of voters. To the extent that benefits recipients are more supportive of generous welfare policy than nonrecipients and more familiar with administrative burdens programs impose, this underrepresentation may obscure popular preferences for social welfare provision and shape politicians’ attentiveness to program design.

Sep 29th 2023, 10:24

The Journal of Early Adolescence, Ahead of Print. During early adolescence children are increasingly using their smartphones not only throughout the day, but also before or even during the nighttime. Prior research has revealed that children’s school performance might suffer because of late-night smartphone use. To gain a further understanding of the consequences of nighttime smartphone use on school performance, this study set out to examine whether children’s nighttime smartphone use is associated with children’s attentional problems over time and with their achieved and subjective school performance. We tested these associations using a two-wave panel study among children aged 10–14 years and one of their parents (parent-child pairs, NTime2 = 384). The findings revealed that children’s nighttime smartphone use was positively related to parent-reported perceptions of children’s attentional problems over time which were negatively related to both subjective and achieved school performance. We discuss the implications of these results for the regulation of children’s smartphone use at night.

Sep 29th 2023, 10:17

Abstract
Canada mirrors developments in most countries with the growth of government agencies created to deliver public goods—whether it is service delivery, adjudication of disputes, regulatory oversight, enforcement activities—purported to benefit from an arms-length relationship to cabinet. There is a robust comparative literature documenting the “agencification” of the state, yet Canadian studies remain mostly absent. This article draws on the Government of Canada’s Public Service Employee Survey (PSES) microdata from 2017, 2011, 2005, and 1999 to test key hypotheses advanced by proponents of agencification, specifically that agencies are more innovative, autonomous, and efficient public organizations. We find that those working in enforcement agencies exhibit few of the purported advantages of agencification. We also observe that in recent years regulatory, adjudicative, and parliamentary agencies consistently surpass conventional department organizations on these metrics. Future research avenues are proposed to explore how governance and oversight reforms may explain this shift.
Sommaire
Le Canada reflète les élaborations existant dans la plupart des pays avec la croissance d’organismes gouvernementaux créés pour fournir des biens publics ‒ qu’il s’agisse de la prestation de services, du règlement des différends, de la surveillance réglementaire, des activités d’application de la loi ‒ et qui sont censés bénéficier d’une relation indépendante avec le Cabinet. Malgré l’existence d’une solide littérature comparée documentant l’« agencification » de l’État, les études canadiennes demeurent quasiment absentes. Cet article s’appuie sur les microdonnées du Sondage auprès des fonctionnaires fédéraux (SAFF) du gouvernement du Canada de 2017, 2011, 2005 et 1999 pour tester les principales hypothèses avancées par les adeptes de l’agencification, particulièrement le fait que les agences sont des organismes publics plus innovants, autonomes et efficaces. Nous constatons que ceux qui travaillent dans les agences d’application de la loi manifestent peu des prétendus avantages de l’agencification. Nous observons également qu’au cours des dernières années, les organismes de réglementation, d’arbitrage et parlementaires surpassent systématiquement les organisations ministérielles conventionnelles sur ces paramètres. Nous proposons de futures pistes de recherche pour étudier comment les réformes de la gouvernance et de la surveillance peuvent expliquer ce changement.

Sep 29th 2023, 09:58

Psychotherapy,  Vol 60(3), Sep 2023, 255-265; doi:10.1037/pst0000473
Therapists’ use of metaphor in psychotherapy is ubiquitous. However, compared to theoretical and clinical claims about the potential effectiveness of using metaphor, research investigations pose challenges and remain relatively sparse. We provide examples of metaphors in sessions and then systematically review the empirical literature. This research suggests that collaborative coelaboration of metaphors with clients is related to positive in-session client outcomes, particularly cognitive engagement. Future research might benefit from a more in-depth focus on the process and impacts of using metaphors. We draw out implications from the research for clinical training and psychotherapy practice.

Sep 29th 2023, 08:09

Dialogues in Human Geography, (https://journals.sagepub.com/toc/dhga/13/2) Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 177-196, July 2023. We are currently seeing a global escalation in social and environmental disruption, yet concepts like the Anthropocene do not fully capture the intensity and generative scope of this crisis. ‘Rupture’ is being used as a term for specific and intense episodes of change, such as wildfires or toxic pollution releases. This is a useful addition to our lexicon for nature-society change but needs to be more robustly theorized. Defining rupture as an intense and adverse episode of nature-society disruption that ripples across scales, we elaborate four dimensions that account for rupture’s sources and uncertain effects. The first two dimensions consider how rupture emerges in space and time from: (i) synergistic spatial, material, and socio-natural changes across scales; and (ii) the accumulation of slow violence that builds towards and is exposed by punctuated shifts and crisis moments. The second two dimensions consider the outcomes of rupture, namely: (iii) heightened uncertainty, insecurity, and socio-material deprivation, which are experienced in unequal and deeply affective ways; and (iv) the scope to catalyze diverse forms of agency that play out in uncertain ways. To illustrate our discussion, we draw from our long history of research on hydropower landscapes in the Mekong region.

Sep 29th 2023, 07:09

The use of communities of practice (CoP) to support the application of knowledge in improved geriatric care practice is not widely understood. This case study’s aim was to gain a deeper understanding of the knowledge-to-action (KTA) processes of a CoP focused on environmental design, to improve how persons with dementia find their way around in long-term care (LTC) homes. Qualitative data were collected (key informant interviews, observations, and document review), and analysed using emergent coding. CoP members contributed extensive knowledge to the KTA process characterized by the following themes: team dynamics, employing a structured process, technology use, varied forms of knowledge, and a clear initiative. The study’s CoP effectively synthesized and translated knowledge into practical tools to inform changes in practice, programs, and policy on dementia care. More research is needed on how to involve patients and caregivers in the KTA processes, and to ensure that practical application of knowledge has financial and policy support

Sep 29th 2023, 06:54

Abstract
Field practicum is an integral part of social work education, and students of bachelor’s and master’s levels need to gain the requisite experience of field practicum to achieve the degrees. Like many practice-based disciplines, social work has been facing enormous challenges in arranging field practicum during COVID-19. This qualitative study aims to understand the experiences of social work faculties, students, and agency representatives for field practicum in the time of the COVID crisis in Bangladesh. Four public universities having social work schools were selected purposively and a total of 18 in-depth interviews and four Key Informant Interviews were conducted with different stakeholders related to field practicum. The study finds that though theoretical classes were conducted using online platforms, students faced many hurdles in completing their field practicum. Several innovative strategies, such as community-based field practice, delaying completion of field practicum, reducing daily working hours, etc. were followed to adapt to the new normal situation. This pandemic seemed to be a lesson for everyone to think of an alternative arrangement for field practicum, such as developing a flexible curriculum, virtual fieldwork, community-based field practice, field meetings, concurrent fieldwork, etc.

Sep 29th 2023, 05:16

Abstract
Introduction
Innovative moments (IMs) pinpoint new and more adaptative meanings that emerge in clients’ discourse during psychotherapy. Studies with adult clients have found a greater proportion of IMs in recovered compared to unchanged cases, but similar studies have yet to be conducted with adolescents.
Aims
The paper aims (1) to study retrospectively the emergence of IMs in therapy, using a post-therapy interview, in adolescents that underwent psychotherapy for depression, and (2) to characterize the themes present in IMs identified retrospectively in the interviews.
Method
Semi-structured post-treatment interviews conducted with 24 adolescents on the experience of taking part in a clinical trial of youth depression, were coded using the Innovative Moments Coding System. After identifying IMs, a thematic analysis identified the prominent themes within them.
Results
Higher presence of IMs were found in recovered compared to unchanged cases. Two main themes emerged in the IMs, changes that occurred with therapy and attributions of changes. Recovered cases presented more IMs centred on the self, whereas unchanged cases identified more non-specific changes.
Conclusion
This study suggests that it is possible to code IMs, identified retrospectively, based on post-therapy interviews with adolescents. Meaningful differences were found between recovered compared to unchanged cases. Therapeutic recovery was associated with a higher focus on the self and more specificity in clients’ representations of the change process.

Sep 29th 2023, 04:25

Child Maltreatment, Ahead of Print. The present study investigates how parenting stress mediates the intergenerational continuity of childhood adversity in teenage mothers. Childhood adversity experiences of caregivers significantly affect their offspring’s exposure to childhood adversity. However, little is known about the mechanisms linking childhood adversity across generations. The study measures how parental distress and parent-child dysfunctional interaction mediate the association between teen mothers’ childhood adversity and their offspring’s adversity, measuring when the offspring reached 11.5 years of age. The results revealed that parental distress, but not parent-child dysfunctional interaction, mediated the association between teen mothers’ child abuse and their offspring’s household dysfunction. This suggests that parental distress may be a crucial intervention target to prevent the intergenerational continuity of childhood adversity. The findings imply that efforts to prevent the intergenerational continuity of childhood adversity may be more successful if the public and professionals have a broader understanding of the associations between early adversity and parenting contexts. In conclusion, the study shed light on the potential mechanisms underlying the intergenerational continuity of childhood adversity and highlights the importance of targeting parenting stress, specifically parental distress, as an intervention strategy to prevent the perpetuation of childhood adversity across generations.

Sep 29th 2023, 04:24

Evaluation &the Health Professions, Ahead of Print. The Brief COPE Inventory is a widely used scale that measures how a person copes with a specific situation. Despite its widespread use, the factor structure of this scale is somewhat unclear and has not been tested among patients pursuing bariatric surgery. We tested competing factor analytic models of the Brief COPE Inventory among patients pursuing bariatric surgery to identify the best fitting factor model for use in pre-surgical psychological evaluations. We also examined reliability and validity of the subscales from the best fitting model of coping. Participants included 1984 patients pursuing bariatric surgery (Mage = 42.58 years, SD = 10.89, 81.39% female). The best fitting model of the Brief COPE Inventory among patients pursuing bariatric surgery was a three-factor model including interpersonal, intrapersonal, and maladaptive coping strategies. These results were replicated in a subset of the original sample and demonstrated appropriate convergent and discriminant validity with several key outcomes. The Brief COPE Inventory can be conceptualized as a multidimensional scale assessing interpersonal coping, intrapersonal coping, and maladaptive coping among patients pursuing bariatric surgery. Future work should examine how these subscales are related to surgical outcomes among people receiving treatment for excess weight.

Sep 29th 2023, 04:24

Evaluation &the Health Professions, Ahead of Print. Though the interest in community engagement in research (CEnR) protocols has increased, studies reporting on the findings of tested CEnR engagement measurement scales for health studies are sparse. A systematic review was conducted from January 1 to March 1, 2023, to identify validated, quantitative CEnR engagement measurement tools for health studies. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology was employed. The rigor of scale development, testing, and implementation was explored, and a `best practices evaluation conducted. Themes on the readiness of scales for implementation in health research studies were narratively compiled. Nineteen studies met the search inclusion criteria—reporting on the development, testing, and implementation of seven CEnR engagement measurement scales for health studies. Scale implementation studies precipitated only two of the studies. None of the scales followed the rigorous process dictated in best practices; however, at this time, three scales have gone through the most robust testing processes. Advancement of the science of engagement measurement requires consensus on terminology, application of best practices for scale development and testing protocols, and consistency of reporting findings.

Sep 29th 2023, 04:23

The Family Journal, Ahead of Print. Despite having an easy option to end the relationship and start a new one, many individuals betray their dating partner. In order to understand why, the present study explored the reasons for infidelity in dating relationships. Forty heterosexual adult participants (21 males and 19 females; Mage = 27.15) who had themselves engaged in infidelity participated in the study. The participants were recruited through the snowball sampling method. The study followed narrative methodology, where the perpetrators themselves narrated their cheating stories. The content analysis of narratives was done using Quirkos software. The findings reported numerous motivational factors contributing to infidelity in dating, which were clubbed into four factors: personal, relationship, third-party, and situational factors. Though many motives of infidelity in dating are similar to married individuals, only certain aspects are specific to a dating relationship, such as uncertainty about ‘the one’ revenge. The study not only shows the importance of personal, situational, and relationship factors but also stresses on third-party-factors, like love, attraction. The results show these reasons/factors may present alone to make individuals cheat or could present in combination or even in sequence. The results of the study can be useful in understanding and helping the dating couples going through such issues.
