Jun 6th 2024, 15:44

Background
Overweight and obesity are excessive fat accumulations linked with many health problems, including heart diseases, type 2 diabetes and cancer. Multiple studies have demonstrated that beliefs about overweight, obesity and self-efficacy play essential roles in the success of interventions for obesity management.
Objectives
This study aimed to identify the perceptions of university students of overweight and obesity using the health belief model (HBM) and to analyse their association with the body mass index (BMI) categories of the students.
Design
A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study and a multistage sampling technique were used to ensure the recruitment of students from selected colleges of Jazan University—Saudi Arabia.
Setting
Six colleges of Jazan University were randomly selected to ensure equal representation of health sciences, sciences and humanities colleges.
Participants
A total of 579 students completed an online survey between January and April 2023.
Primary and secondary outcome measures
The primary outcome measures were demographic characteristics and HBM constructs. Secondary outcome measures were behavioural intentions relating to obesity management.
Results
This study demonstrated that gender and self-reported family history of obesity were significantly correlated with the BMI categories of the students (p <0.001). Students in the underweight category showed the highest mean score for perceived severity (3.62 ±0.08). Perceived self-efficacy in exercise and diet was significantly associated with BMI categories, with adjusted ORs of 2.82 (2.10 to 3.79) and 1.51 (1.09 to 2.09), respectively. Perceived barriers to healthy eating and regular physical activity were significantly related to the behavioural intentions of obesity management. Multivariate logistic regression showed that perceived severity, perceived cues to action, perceived barriers and self-efficacy in dieting and exercise were significant predictors of behavioural intentions for the management of obesity.
Conclusion
This study underscores the need for tailored health promotion strategies that consider the perceptions and beliefs of people about the management of obesity.

(https://ifp.nyu.edu/2024/guidelines-plus/tep0000472/) Current training practices and training gaps in clinical child and adolescent psychology: Implications for training guidelines
Jun 6th 2024, 10:27

Training and Education in Professional Psychology, Vol 18(2), May 2024, 142-153; doi:10.1037/tep0000472
This study aimed to inform training guidelines for Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (CCAP) by assessing current CCAP training practices and perceived gaps in trainee readiness at each stage of training. Training directors (TDs) of doctoral, internship, and postdoctoral programs offering training in CCAP completed an online survey regarding training experiences offered in their program and areas in which trainees could be better prepared. Responses from each training program were coded to characterize the program’s level of specialty training using the Taxonomy for Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology. Among doctoral programs, 30.8% met criteria for Major Area of Study in CCAP, 23.1% for Emphasis, 28.2% for Experience, and 15.4% for Exposure. Most internship programs (94.3%) and all postdoctoral programs met criteria for Major Area of Study. TDs indicated that trainees could be better prepared in areas specific and central to each level of training; time management was identified as an area for improvement across levels of training. Postdoctoral TDs identified proficiency gaps among trainees nearing independent practice that are critical for competent service delivery in CCAP, including case conceptualization, assessment, and intervention. The pattern of increased specialization later in training and identified gaps particularly near the end of training have implications for specialty training and the development of training guidelines in CCAP.

Jun 6th 2024, 06:36

Abstract
BackgroundQuality improvement (QI) initiatives in healthcare are crucial for enhancing service quality and healthcare outcomes. The success of these initiatives depends on the active engagement of healthcare professionals, which can be influenced by several factors within the healthcare system. This systematic review synthesised the factors influencing healthcare professionals’ engagement in QI projects, focusing on identifying both barriers and facilitators.MethodsA mixed methods systematic review (MMSR) was conducted using the JBI methodology for MMSR. Databases such as MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, and Embase were searched for studies that explored barriers and facilitators to QI engagement of health professionals in the clinical setting. Methodological quality was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). The extracted data were synthesised using the JBI convergent integrated approach to MMSR.ResultsEighteen studies (seven qualitative, nine quantitative, and two mixed-methods) published between 2007 and 2023 were included in the review. The analysis revealed barriers and facilitators to engagement in QI initiatives at different levels of the health system. At the QI program level, the engagement of health professionals to QI was influenced by the approach to QI, evidence underpinning the QI initiative, QI knowledge and training and access to QI specialists. At the health professional level, barriers and facilitators were related to their organisational role, motivation, perceptions about QI, and collaborations with individuals and groups. At the organisational level, factors related to culture and climate, leadership, available resources (including human resource and workload, infrastructure, and incentives) and institutional priorities influenced health professionals’ participation in QI.ConclusionThis review highlights the complex interplay of organisational, individual and QI program level factors that influence the engagement of healthcare professionals in QI. Overcoming these complex barriers and leveraging facilitators is crucial for enhancing participation in QI efforts. The findings underscore the need for a multi-level strategy that focuses on creating a conducive organisational culture, providing robust leadership, and ensuring adequate resources and training for healthcare professionals. Such strategies hold the potential to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of QI initiatives in healthcare settings.

Jun 6th 2024, 05:59

Abstract
In September 2021, following the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Department for Education introduced a national standardised digital Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) for all English 4-year-old children. We analyse RBA and its associated Quality Monitoring Visits, as a further intensification of the new public management of early years education to produce ‘school-ready’ human capital. This paper reports on professionals’ and children’s responses to RBA by analysing the mixed-methods data from a nationwide survey of early years professionals (n = 1032) and six in-depth case study Reception classes with teacher interviews (n = 14) and researcher observations (n = 12). An adult thematic analysis of the responses suggests that some children and their teachers used their agency in creative ‘small acts’ of micro-resistance. These ‘small acts’ of resistance and refusal are theorised as micro-political contestations of a policy that is antithetical to early education’s socio-cultural approach. More research is needed to further understand the politics of young children’s rights, agency, micro-resistance and refusal.

Jun 6th 2024, 05:18

Abstract
This article describes the elements of a support framework based on the Japanese concept Ikigai, “that which gives your life meaning and purpose.” The basic assumption is that understanding and attaining life meaning and purpose are both the main goal and the main pathway to achieving optimal quality of life. The Ikigai framework recognizes the characteristics of people with disabilities—both their capabilities and their limitations—and contends that these need to match expectations for autonomy and choice making, but always supported and enhanced by lifelong learning. The three main pillars of the framework (environment, skills, and approaches) offer an outline for effective support planning that reduces the need for behavior support plans and enhances opportunities to develop life meaning and thus optimal quality of life.

Jun 6th 2024, 03:19

Accessible summary
What is known on the subject?
The use of restrictive interventions is described as a violation of patients’ rights and autonomy. It must only be used as a last resort to manage dangerous behaviour, to prevent or reduce the risk of mental health patients harming themselves or others.
International mental health policy and legislation agree that when restrictive interventions are applied, the least restrictive alternative should be chosen.

What the paper adds to existing knowledge?
The results are ambiguous, as to which restrictive intervention is preferred over others, but there are tendencies towards the majority preferring observation, with mechanical restraint being the least preferred.
To make the experience less intrusive and restrictive, certain factors are preferred, such as a more pleasant and humane seclusion room environment, staff communicating during the application and staff of same gender applying the intervention.

What are the implications for practice?
When applying restrictive interventions, mental health professionals should consider environment, communication and duration factors that influence patient preferences, such as the opportunity to keep some personal items in the seclusion room, or, when using restraint, to communicate the reason and explain what is going to happen.
More research is needed to clarify patients’ preferences regarding restrictive interventions and their views on which are the least restrictive. Preferably, agreement is needed on standard measures, and global use of the same definition of restrictive interventions.

Abstract
Introduction
The use of restrictive interventions is a violation of patients’ rights that causes physical and psychological harm and which is a well-known challenge globally. Mental health law and legislative principles and experts agree that when restrictive interventions are applied, the least restrictive alternative should be used. However, there is no consensus on what is the least restrictive alternative, especially from the patient perspective.
Aim
To investigate the literature on mental health patients’ preferences regarding restrictive interventions applied during admission to a psychiatric hospital.
Method
An integrative review informed by the PRISMA statement and thematic analysis were undertaken.
Results
There were tendencies towards patients preferring observation and, for the majority, mechanical restraint was the least preferred restrictive intervention. Factors such as environment, communication and duration were found to influence patients’ preferences.
Discussion
There is a lack of agreement on how best to measure patients’ preferences and this complicates the choice of the least restrictive alternative. Nonetheless, our findings show that staff should consider environment, communication and duration when applying restrictive interventions.
Implications for Practice
More research on restrictive interventions and the least restrictive alternative is warranted, but agreement is needed on standard measures, and a standard global definition of restrictive interventions.
