Jan 17th 2024, 14:47

Abstract
This paper seeks to address the question of what gerontologists and humanities scholars can learn from how their respective fields engage with critical issues of age-based intersectional disadvantage, inequality, colonialism, and exclusion. The paper considers the Uncertain Futures Project, a participatory arts-led social research study based in Manchester, United Kingdom. The project explores the inequalities of women over 50 regarding issues of work using an intersectional lens. This work has produced a complex entanglement of methodological ideas that underpin performance art, community activism, and gerontological research. The paper will consider if this model can lead to a lasting impact beyond the scope of the project and beyond the individuals involved. First, we outline the work undertaken from the conception of the project. We consider the relationship between these activities and the ongoing nature of qualitative data analysis within the complexity of academic workloads and competing priorities. We raise questions and considerations of how the elements of the work have connected, collaborated, and intertwined. We also explore the challenges within interdisciplinary and collaborative work. Finally, we address the kind of legacy and impact created by work of this nature.

Jan 17th 2024, 13:19

Abstract
Considerable support exists for higher-order dimensional conceptualizations of psychopathology in adults. A growing body of work has focused on understanding the structure of general and specific psychopathology in children and adolescents. No prior meta-analysis has examined whether the strength of the general psychopathology factor (p factor)—measured by explained common variance (ECV)—changes from childhood to adolescence. The primary objective of this multilevel meta-analysis was to determine whether general psychopathology strength changes across development (i.e. across ages) in childhood and adolescence. Several databases were searched in November 2021; 65 studies, with 110 effect sizes (ECV), nested within shared data sources, were identified. Included empirical studies used a factor analytic modeling approach that estimated latent factors for child/adolescent internalizing, externalizing, and optionally thought-disordered psychopathology, and a general factor. Studies spanned ages 2–17 years. Across ages, general psychopathology explained over half (~ 56%) of the reliable variance in symptoms of psychopathology. Age-moderation analyses revealed that general factor strength remained stable across ages, suggesting that general psychopathology strength does not significantly change across childhood to adolescence. Even if the structure of psychopathology changes with development, the prominence of general psychopathology across development has important implications for future research and intervention.

Jan 17th 2024, 11:39

Action Research, Ahead of Print. Current challenges call for a university that assumes a proactive role in the search for a fairer, more egalitarian and democratic world. This study puts action and transformation at the center of academic work, as training students in epistemologies and research methodologies in addition to providing them with new skills allows them to immerse themselves in the social fabric that can accompany the stabilization of community processes. In this text, we present a project within a master’s in community participation and development, in which the students have supported a process of participation by irruption. The internship is a Participatory Action Research project within the framework of a process of consolidating and recognizing a social center occupied by squatters, and it shows two potentials; it means the university students can be trained in a transformational way, and it allows the students to be the protagonists of dynamics which transcend hegemonic academic methodologies and, through teaching and action, support processes of community coordination and the stabilization of democratizing irruption dynamics.

Jan 17th 2024, 10:39

International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology, Ahead of Print. This article studies the effects of local dependence within the items of the first section of the LS/CMI on its reliability. Analysis were done to identify the dependent items namely through their correlations before and after Rasch modeling. Seven items were thus discarded, deemed dependent and redundant, and Cronbach’s alpha was calculated with all 43 items and then with the 36 items deemed independent. Test information and predictive validity were also compared. Removing the seven redundant items did not seem to have major effects on the reliability of the LS/CMI or the psychometric information it provided, and no tangible effects were observed on its predictive validity. The reliability of an instrument should be assessed with items that contribute each in its own way. However, it is hazardous to report the reliability of an instrument known to be multidimensional with means meant to be used with unidimensional instruments.

Jan 17th 2024, 10:18

Abstract
Telerehabilitation for heart failure (HF) patients is beneficial for physical functioning, prognosis, and psychological status. The study aimed at evaluating the influence of hybrid comprehensive telerehabilitation (HCTR) on the level of anxiety in comparison to usual care (UC). The TELEREH-HF study was a multicenter prospective RCT in 850 clinically stable HF participants. Patients underwent clinical examinations, including the assessment of anxiety, at entry and after the 9-week training program (HCTR) or observation (UC). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used. 20.3% HCTR and 20.1% UC patients reported high level of anxiety as a state at baseline, with higher STAI results in younger participants (< 63 y.o.) (p = .048 for HCTR; p = .026 for UC). At both stages of the study, patients with lower level of physical capacity (measured by a peak VO2) had shown significantly higher level of anxiety. There were no significant changes in anxiety levels during the 9-week observation for the entire study population, although there were different patterns of change in anxiety (both trait and state) in younger and older groups,with the decrease in younger patients, and the increase—in the older group.

Jan 17th 2024, 09:49

Health Promotion Practice, Ahead of Print. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rates remain suboptimal among young Black adults (18–26 years). Research focused on HPV vaccination among young Black adults is limited. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior, we developed #HPVvaxtalks, a theoretically grounded and culturally appropriate Facebook intervention in collaboration with a youth community advisory board (YCAB) to increase awareness of HPV risk factors, risk perception, HPV vaccine-related knowledge, vaccination intention, and uptake for Black individuals. Engagement with YCAB members fostered opportunity to discuss priorities reflecting the community’s interest and make #HPVvaxtalks more relevant. This article describes the YCAB engagement and collaborative process in the development and refinement of posts/messages for #HPVvaxtalks. Five young Black adults (18–26 years of age) were invited to become members of a YCAB. YCAB reviewed the preliminary version of #HPVvaxtalks intervention materials and provided critiques and suggestions for refinement. Following the completion of the collaborative process, YCAB members completed individual interviews to reflect on the process. Feedback from YCAB participants focused on the relevance, engagement, clarity, and organization of the content and the media utilized. Participants suggested using “memes” to improve cultural relevance and engagement for young Black individuals. All YCAB members expressed satisfaction with the development process. Collaboration with a YCAB was crucial in developing a culturally relevant and acceptable #HPVvaxtalks intervention, which includes 40 messages/posts for young Black adults. Undergoing the iterative process of intervention development and refinement with the priority population can be an essential component in the design and implementation of health promotion activities.

Jan 17th 2024, 08:58

Abstract
The priorities reflected in the overarching system that includes the regimes dealing with international human rights law, international humanitarian law, and international criminal law are currently undergoing a gradual but highly significant transformation. The cause is a growing preoccupation with ‘atrocity crimes’ in each of the three fields, along with the imposition of criminal sanctions in response to an ever increasing range of violations, the recasting of other violations as crimes (ecocide), and the urge to describe a great many situations as involving genocide. These developments have diminished the attention given to non-criminal violations and to techniques other than prosecution, and facilitated continuing neglect of the structural dimensions underpinning violations. In the foreign policies of key western states, sanctions against individuals now attract more attention than other human rights responses. The risk is that these trends will entrench an atrocity-centred normative hierarchy, empower judges and criminal lawyers at the expense of social movements, shine a spotlight on individual rather than collective responsibility, reinforce problematic North-South dynamics, and distort resource allocations at the international level.

Jan 17th 2024, 08:08

Methodological Innovations, Ahead of Print. Mixed methods research (MMR) has been widely adopted in a plethora of disciplines. Integration is the pressing issue regarding the legitimation, the added value, and the quality of using MMR, though inadequate literature has discussed effective strategies used in the field of education, including school psychology, counseling, and teacher education. This study reviewed 119 recently published MMR articles in education using a four-dimension codebook with the goal to explore generic integration strategies and innovative strategies used by educational researchers in practice. As a result, three most commonly used generic integration strategies were identified, including (1) using a good mixed methods (MM) research question to guide research design, (2) using appropriate MM sampling strategy to obtain good data for achieving integration, and (3) using multiple MM data mixing strategies to facilitate integration. Moreover, five creative integration strategies were found at the method level: (1) using an innovative survey to collect both qualitative and quantitative data, (2) using visual support to collect data, (3) using high-tech methods to facilitate data collection, (4) using data visualization in mixing, and (5) quantitizing categorized QUAL data. This review summarizes and analyzes the effective integration strategies commonly used at the research design level and at the method level. It also provides valuable recommendations for educational researchers to explore creative strategies to achieve efficient integration when they conduct mixed methods research.

Jan 17th 2024, 06:56

Abstract
Background
Medication administration is a complex process and nurses play a central role in this process. Errors during administration are associated with severe patient harm and significant economic burden. However, the prevalence of underreporting makes it challenging when analysing the current landscape of medication administration error (MAE) and hinders the implementation of improvements to the existing system. The aim of this study is to describe the reasons for the occurrence of MAEs and the reasons behind the underreporting of MAEs, to determine the estimated percentage of MAE reporting and to identify factors associated with them from the nurses’ perspective.
Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted using a validated self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire contained 65 questions which were divided into three sections: (1) reasons for the occurrence of MAEs which consisted of 29 items; (2) reasons for not reporting MAEs which consisted of 16 items; and (3) percentage of MAEs actually reported which consisted of 20 items. It was distributed to 143 nurses in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of five public hospitals in XXX. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with MAE reporting.
Results
The estimated percentage of MAE reporting was 30.6%. The most common reasons for MAEs were inadequate nursing staff (5.14 (SD 1.25)), followed by drugs which look alike (4.65 (SD 1.06)) and similar drug packaging (4.41 (SD 1.18)). While the most common reasons for not reporting MAEs were that nursing administration focuses on the individual rather than looking at the systems as a potential cause of the error (4.56 (SD 1.32)) and that too much emphasis is placed on MAEs as a measure of the quality of nursing care (4.31 (SD 1.23)). Factors statistically significant with MAE reporting were administration response (AOR = 6.90; 95% CI = 2.01-23.67; p=0.002), reporting effort (AOR = 3.67; 95% CI = 1.68-8.01; p=0.001) and nurses with advanced diploma (AOR = 0.29; 95% CI = 0.13-0.65; p=0.003).
Conclusion
Our findings shows that underreporting of MAEs is still common and less than a third of the respondents reported MAEs. Therefore, to encourage error reporting, emphasis should be placed on the benefits of reporting, adopting a non-punitive approach, and creating a blame-free culture.

Jan 17th 2024, 05:54

Abstract
Black women who use substances in the United States face unique human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk factors. However, interventions addressing cultural factors relevant for preventing HIV risk behaviors among Black women are limited. This project aimed to develop and initially test the effectiveness of a culturally adapted version of safer sex skills building (SSSB), an evidence-based HIV prevention intervention for reducing HIV risk among Black women who use substances. The cultural adaptation procedures involved (i) review of existing literature, (ii) use of Delphi process and theater testing to generate an adapted version, (iii) theater testing of the culturally adapted version and (iv) initial testing. Forty-eight Black women recruited from a substance use treatment clinic in the United States participated in three 2.5-h sessions of a culturally adapted or a generic version of the intervention. More (48%) women in the culturally adapted version self-reported condom use with casual partners compared to women in the generic (29%) version at a 6-week follow-up. The two groups did not differ on self-reported condom use with main partners. The culturally adapted SSSB offers a promising intervention for sexual risk reduction among Black women who use substances. Moreover, the findings advance the field by illustrating a concrete methodology for cultural adaptation.

The literature on migrants’ self-selection is focused on labour migrants, while little is known about refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). We contribute to this scant literature, by (1) examining a broad set of factors that could determine self-selection, (2) contrasting self-selection profiles of refugees and IDPs, and (3) comparing self-selection profiles of refugees across countries. Specifically, we compare the self-selection profiles of Ukrainian refugees and IDPs with stayers in the months directly following the Russian full-scale invasion in February 2022. We draw on unique, cross-nationally comparative data from the OneUA project, which surveyed Ukrainian refugees and displaced persons in Europe as well as those who stayed in Ukraine in the summer of 2022. More than 24,000 Ukrainian women residing in nine countries participated in this survey. We find systematic empirical patterns of self-selection related to people’s region of origin, family status, and individual-level characteristics.

In 2016 I began hosting public dream discussions with my collaborator, the artist and academic Julia Lockheart. At these events, I discuss a volunteer’s notable dream with them in front of an audience and, as we’re speaking, Lockheart creates an artwork based on the dream.

Abstract
The multiple domains of development covered by the SDGs present a practical challenge for governments. This is particularly acute in highly resource-constrained settings which use a sector-by-sector approach to structure financing and prioritisation. One potentially under-prioritized solution is to implement interventions with the potential to simultaneously improve multiple outcomes across sectors, what UNDP refer to as development ‘accelerators’. An increasing number of accelerators are being identified in the literature. There are, however, challenges associated with the evaluation and implementation of accelerators. Firstly, as accelerators have multiple benefits, possibly in different sectors, they will be undervalued if priority setting is conducted sector-by-sector. Secondly, even if their value is recognised, accelerators may not be adopted if doing so clashes with any of the multiple competing interests policymakers consider, of which efficiency/social desirability is but one. To illustrate the first challenge, and outline a possible solution, we conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing the implementation of three sector-specific interventions to an accelerator, first using a sector-by-sector planning perspective, then a whole of government approach. The case study demonstrates how evaluating the cost-effectiveness of interventions sector-by-sector can lead to sub-optimal efficiency rankings and overlook interventions that are efficient from a whole of government perspective. We then examine why recommendations based on a whole of government approach to evaluation are unlikely to be heeded. To overcome this second challenge, we outline a menu of existing and novel financing mechanisms which aim to address the mismatch between political incentives and logistical constraints in priority setting and the economic evaluation evidence for cost-effective accelerators. These approaches to financing accelerators have the potential to improve efficiency, and in doing so, progress towards the SDGs, by aligning political incentives more closely with recommendations based on efficiency rankings.
