Jan 14th 2024, 14:38

Background
Public education exposing cigarette industry practices have been effective in changing attitudes and preventing smoking among young people. It is unclear how much young adults are aware of e-cigarette industry practices, and how this awareness relates to anti-e-cigarette attitudes. We examined demographic correlates of awareness of e-cigarette industry practices and anti-e-cigarette attitudes, and the association between awareness of these practices with anti-e-cigarette attitudes.
Methods
A US sample of young adults aged 18–30 years who do not use commercial tobacco products but are susceptible to e-cigarette use were cross-sectionally surveyed through online panel services from August 2021 to January 2022. Respondents reported their demographics, awareness of cigarette industry practices, awareness of e-cigarette industry practices and their level of agreement with four anti-e-cigarette attitude statements. We used multivariable linear regressions to examine demographic associations and the relationship between awareness of e-cigarette industry practices with each anti-e-cigarette attitude, adjusting for demographics and awareness of cigarette industry practices.
Results
Generally, Hispanic and Black young adults (vs White) and those with <US$75 000 annual household income (vs ≥US$75 000) knew of fewer e-cigarette industry practices. Black young adults (vs White) and those with <US$75 000 annual household income (vs ≥US$75,000) also had lower levels of agreement with anti-e-cigarette attitudes. Awareness of e-cigarette industry practices (vs awareness of zero practices) were associated with stronger agreement with each of the four anti-e-cigarette attitudes.
Discussion
Public education exposing e-cigarette industry practices may promote anti-e-cigarette attitudes among susceptible young adults who do not use commercial tobacco products. Future research should investigate the utility of anti-e-cigarette industry messaging.

Jan 14th 2024, 13:18

Research involving recently deceased humans that are physiologically maintained following declaration of death by neurologic criteria—or ‘research involving the recently deceased’—can fill a translational research gap while reducing harm to animals and living human subjects. It also creates new challenges for honouring the donor’s legacy, respecting the rights of donor loved ones, resource allocation and public health. As this research model gains traction, new empirical ethics questions must be answered to preserve public trust in all forms of tissue donation and in the practice of medicine while respecting the legacy of the deceased and the rights of donor loved ones. This article suggests several topics for immediate investigation to understand the attitudes and experiences of researchers, clinical collaborators, donor loved ones and the public to ensure research involving the recently deceased advances ethically.

Jan 14th 2024, 13:13

Journal of Health Services Research &Policy, Ahead of Print. ObjectiveBoth Indigenous and non-Indigenous governments and organizations have increasingly called for improved Indigenous health data in order to improve health equity among Indigenous peoples. This scoping review identifies best practices, potential consequences and barriers for advancing Indigenous health data and Indigenous data sovereignty globally.MethodsA scoping review was conducted to capture the breadth and nature of the academic and grey literature. We searched academic databases for academic records published between 2000 and 2021. We used Google to conduct a review of the grey literature. We applied Harfield’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Quality Appraisal Tool (QAT) to all original research articles included in the review to assess the quality of health information from an Indigenous perspective.ResultsIn total, 77 academic articles and 49 grey literature records were included. Much of the academic literature was published in the last 12 years, demonstrating a more recent interest in Indigenous health data. Overall, we identified two ways for Indigenous health data to be retrieved. The first approach is health care organizations asking clients to voluntarily self-identify as Indigenous. The other approach is through data linkage. Both approaches to improving Indigenous health data require awareness of the intergenerational consequences of settler colonialism along with a general mistrust in health care systems among Indigenous peoples. This context also presents special considerations for health care systems that wish to engage with Indigenous communities around the intention, purpose, and uses of the identification of Indigenous status in administrative databases and in health care settings. Partnerships with local Indigenous nations should be developed prior to the systematic collection of Indigenous identifiers in health administrative data. The QAT revealed that many research articles do not include adequate information to describe how Indigenous communities and stakeholders have been involved in this research.ConclusionThere is consensus within the academic literature that improving Indigenous health should be of high priority for health care systems globally. To address data disparities, governments and health organizations are encouraged to work in collaboration with local Indigenous nations and stakeholders at every step from conceptualization, data collection, analysis, to ownership. This finding highlights the need for future research to provide transparent explanation of how meaningful Indigenous collaboration is achieved in their research.

Jan 14th 2024, 12:11

Journal of Social Work, Ahead of Print. SummaryThe field of social work has seen increased recognition across many sectors in recent years. Evolving racial, political, and medical paradigms and the COVID-19 pandemic have shown the importance of a person-centered approach to health and mental health. One such area of practice is neurology, specifically work with people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), which is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, currently impacting more than 10 million people worldwide. While social workers have long played key roles in multidisciplinary teams in PD care settings, research and literature offering assessment and evidence in this area remain limited. This research study used a mixed-methods approach with additional in-depth qualitative interviews conducted with 11 social workers. This article presents findings from the 11 interviewees who are presently working with people with PD using thematic analysis.FindingsThemes emerging were an in-depth detailed role of the social worker, the importance of strong relationships working with people with PD and their families, multidisciplinary teams, and the community. Institutional challenges were highlighted concerning supporting social work positions and encouraging social work intervention from the beginning of diagnosis to the end stages of the disease. COVID-19 proved very challenging for social workers, multidisciplinary teams, and families, and yet positive practices were identified as well.ApplicationsThe impact of this study reinforces the essential role specialized PD social workers play in multidisciplinary PD teams and recognition needed to increase their role through early intervention reflected in increasing social work positions in neurology.

Jan 14th 2024, 10:39

The present study investigated the psychopathological processes of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following the network approach to psychopathology. The directed acyclic graph model was employed to analyse a large longitudinal data-set of Chinese children and adolescents exposed to a destructive earthquake. It was found that intrusion symptoms were first activated by trauma exposure, and subsequently activated other PTSD symptoms. The data are consistent with the idea that symptoms may form a self-sustaining dynamic network by interacting with each other to promote or maintain the chronicity of PTSD. The findings advance the current understanding about the psychopathological processes of PTSD, and inform further research and clinical practices on post-traumatic psychopathology.

Jan 14th 2024, 10:31

Background
The aetiology and consequences of ‘baby blues’ (lower mood following childbirth) are yet to be sufficiently investigated with respect to an individual’s clinical history.

Aims
The primary aim of the study was to assess the symptoms of baby blues and the relevant risk factors, their associations with clinical history and premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and their possible contribution to the early recognition of postpartum depression (PPD).

Method
Beginning shortly after childbirth, 369 mothers were followed up for 12 weeks. Information related to their clinical history, PMS, depression, stress and mother–child attachment was collected. At 12 weeks, mothers were classified as non-depressed, or with either PPD or adjustment disorder.

Results
A correlation was found between the severity of baby blues and PMS (r = 0.397, P < 0.001), with both conditions increasing the possibility of adjustment disorder and PPD (baby blues: OR = 6.72, 95% CI 3.69–12.25; PMS: OR = 3.29, 95% CI 2.01–5.39). Baby blues and PMS independently predicted whether a mother would develop adjustment disorder or PPD after childbirth (χ2(64) = 198.16, P < 0.001). Among the non-depressed participants, baby blues were found to be associated with primiparity (P = 0.012), family psychiatric history (P = 0.001), PMS (P < 0.001) and childhood trauma (P = 0.017).

Conclusions
Baby blues are linked to a number of risk factors and a history of PMS, with both conditions adding to the risk of PPD. The neuroendocrine effects on mood need be understood in the context of individual risk factors. The assessment of both baby blues and PMS symptoms within the first postpartum days may contribute to an early identification of PPD.

Jan 14th 2024, 10:16

Abstract

Purpose
The demographic proportions of plastic surgery trials approximating real-world disease have not well been studied. Judicious trial representation is essential in evaluation of treatments across diverse patient populations. Herein, we investigate sex, racial, and ethnic disparities in patient enrollment across burn trials.

Methods
Cross-sectional analysis of participants enrolled in high-quality, with reduced risk of bias, randomized controlled trials (RCT) on burns registered on clinicaltrials.gov under the query “burn.” Completed RCTs reporting at least two demographic groups, employing double masking or greater, and with results accessible through the registry or publications were included. Trial characteristics (sponsor country, site location, initiation year, study phase, masking) and demographic data (sex, race, ethnicity per US reporting guidelines) were collected. The Global Burden of Disease database provided sex-based burn disease burdens. The primary outcome was the population-to-prevalence ratio of enrolled female participants. Secondary outcomes included representation of racial and ethnic populations as related to study blinding, phase, and study/sponsor locations.

Results
Of 546 records, 39 trials met the inclusion criteria (2919 participants). All trials reported sex demographics, with females comprising 37.02% of all participants (PPR = 0.71, 95% CI [0.59, 0.82], likely indicating underrepresentation against their empiric disease burden). Only 7 and 9 trials reported ethnicity and race, respectively, although not comprehensively. Among trials reporting race or ethnicity, Caucasians and Black persons comprised 57.52% and 21.80% of participants, respectively, while only 9.80% had Hispanic/Latino ethnicity. Severe underreporting of race and ethnicity precluded much of secondary significance testing across study variables.

Conclusions
Females are likely underrepresented in high-quality, US-registered burn trials, unreflective of their real-world disease burden. Further, severe underreporting of race and ethnicity was noted. Future trials should enroll diverse demographics and equitable populations for promotion of study generalizability.

Jan 14th 2024, 09:36

Translational Issues in Psychological Science, Vol 9(4), Dec 2023, 317-322; doi:10.1037/tps0000380
Bilingualism and multilingualism provide a unique lens for exploring how human experiences influence language and cognition. This editorial presents a collection of studies on the relationship between bilingualism/multilingualism and cognition in typically developing and neurodiverse populations. The articles assembled in this issue synthesize findings from diverse linguistic populations (e.g., second-language learners, heritage speakers, different-script bilinguals, etc.) and techniques (e.g., behavioral, magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, eye-tracking, etc.) to provide compelling evidence that knowing more than one language can benefit learning, health, and social outcomes. Translational research on bilingualism and multilingualism is necessary for informing policy and can serve as a guide to researchers, practitioners, and educators who work with linguistically diverse populations, as well as individuals and parents who speak multiple languages. We conclude that multilingualism shapes cells, selves, and societies. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

Jan 14th 2024, 08:48

Background
Patients and their families face financial hardship during cancer treatment, which may intensify at end of life (EOL) due to increased symptoms and care needs. We undertook a narrative literature review to describe the current understanding of the causes, impacts and factors associated with financial hardship at EOL. We identify gaps in research, policy and clinical practice and propose steps to mitigate financial hardship for patients and caregivers at EOL.
Methods
We conducted a Medline search to identify US studies since 2000 that examined EOL financial hardship for patients with cancer and their caregivers.
Results
Twenty-seven adult and four paediatric studies met review criteria. Adults with cancer and their caregivers face significant financial hardship at EOL and in bereavement, especially due to employment changes and informal caregiving time costs. Financial hardship may be higher for younger caregivers and for patients who are uninsured, low income, rural, with high symptom burdens or with certain cancer types. The few paediatric studies showed high financial hardship and employment impact lasting well beyond a child’s death.
Conclusions
There is limited literature examining financial hardship at EOL in the USA, especially in paediatrics. Priorities for future research include longitudinal studies in diverse populations of patients with cancer and informal caregivers using standardised financial hardship measures. Policies to address financial hardship at EOL, especially with hospice care, should include insurance coverage for family caregiving and medical leave policies. There is need for increased financial hardship screening at EOL and in bereavement and a need for financial navigation interventions.

Jan 14th 2024, 07:37

Objectives
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) in men is a condition associated with significant morbidity which is typically managed in sexual health services. We introduced a modified biopsychosocial approach for managing CPPS in men, reducing use of antibiotics and evaluated its application in a retrospective case review.
Methods
Patients attended for a full consultation covering symptomology, onset and social history. Examination included urethral smear and assessment of pelvic floor tension and pain. A focus on pelvic floor relaxation was the mainstay of management with pelvic floor physiotherapy if required. Prescribing of antibiotics being discontinued if no evidence of urethritis at first consultation. The main outcome was change in the National Institute of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) score (which patients completed at each attendance); significant clinical improvement was defined as a NIH-CPSI score reduction of >25% and/or ≥6 points.
Results
Among 77 consecutive patients diagnosed with CPPS between April 2017 and December 2018, the mean NIH-CPSI score at the initial visit was 24.1 (11–42). Antibiotics were prescribed to 38/77 (49.4%) and alpha-blockers to 58/77 (75.3%). Overall, 50 (64.9%) patients with a mean initial NIH-CPSI score of 25.4 (11–42) re-attended a CPPS clinic. Among these, the average NIH-CPSI score at the final CPPS clinic appointment declined to 15.9 (0–39) (p<0.001); 34/50 (68%) men experienced significant clinical improvement. Men who attended only one CPPS clinic compared with those who reattended had a shorter duration of symptoms (18 (1–60) vs 36 (1–240) months; p=0.038), a lower initial NIH-CPSI score (21.7 (11–34) vs 25.4 (11–44); p=0.021), but had attended a similar number of clinics prior to referral (2.9 (0–6) vs 3.2 (0–8); p=0.62).
Conclusions
The biopsychosocial approach significantly reduced the NIH-CPSI score in those who re-attended, with 68% of patients having a significant clinical improvement. The first follow-up consultation at 6 weeks is now undertaken by telephone for many patients, if clinically appropriate.

Jan 14th 2024, 06:39

Objective
Although prior studies show that exposure to early outpatient palliative care (OPC) versus no exposure is associated with improved outcomes at the end of life (EoL) for patients with cancer, few examined the impact of exposure to OPC prior to home-based palliative care (HBPC) on EoL outcomes. This study compares the effect of OPC prior to HBPC versus HBPC alone on EoL outcomes in patients with cancer.
Methods
A secondary analysis of data from a trial comparing two models of HBPC was performed on patients with primary cancer diagnoses. Adjusted negative binomial and logistic regression models were used to compare days in acute care and intensive care unit stays in the last 30 days, chemotherapy administration in the last 14 days and in-hospital deaths between patients who received standard-dose (4+ encounters) and low-dose (<4 encounters) OPC plus HBPC versus HBPC alone.
Results
A total of 1187 patients, 483 (40.1%) of whom had OPC+HBPC and 704 (59.3%) who had HBPC alone were included in the analyses. Compared with patients who had HBPC alone, patients who had standard-dose OPC spent fewer days in acute care (4.29 vs 4.19, p=0.04) and fewer days inpatient (3.45 vs 3.09, p=0.03) in the last 30 days of life. No difference was seen in EoL outcomes in patients exposed to low-dose OPC compared with those with HBPC alone. Receipt of hospice after HBPC was strongly associated with improved EoL outcomes.
Conclusion
Future research is needed to examine the modality, timing and intensity of palliative care necessary to effect EoL outcomes.

Jan 14th 2024, 05:39

Background
Skateboarding is an increasingly popular leisure activity for youth, yet injuries due to falls are common. This study aimed to identify the features at skateparks and tricks performed by youth that pose an increased risk of falls in skateboarders.
Method
Video recordings were unobtrusively taken at a large skatepark of youth designated as young (11–15 years) or old (16–20 years). Videos were coded to identify the popular skatepark features used and tricks performed, and to assign a fall severity outcome rating for each feature and each type of trick attempted.
Results
The results identify features and tricks that pose increased risk of falling for youth at skateparks.
Conclusions
Implications for injury prevention are discussed, including a consideration of environmental (skatepark design) and individual (youth behaviour) factors relevant to reducing skateboarding injuries due to falls among youth.
