Background: Indoor lighting, exposure to outdoor daylight, physical activity and sleep interact to influence functioning, mood and cicadian rhythm. Older adults (≥ 65 years), who often spend more time at home, are less physically active and experience more sleep problems, could benefit from strategies to support behavioural change and self-managed modifications in the home. The study's primary objective was to assess the usability and feasibility of the 'Light, activity and sleep in my daily life' intervention, delivered as a web-based course.

- The study aimed to evaluate physical activity levels six months post-out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and identify risk factors for low activity levels.
- In a follow-up with 807 OHCA survivors across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, 34% reported low physical activity, while 44% were moderately active and 22% highly active.
- Significant risk factors for low physical activity included obesity, mobility issues, and cognitive impairment.
Introduction: General Movement assessment (GMA) is considered the golden standard for early identification of infants with a high risk of developing cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study was to explore parents' lived experience of early risk assessment for CP using a mobile application for home video recording after discharge from hospital stay in the newborn period.
Methods: An inductive qualitative design using a hermeneutical phenomenological approach was chosen, and fourteen parents with children at risk of CP were interviewed at home.
Introduction: Many depressed patients do not achieve remission with available treatments. Anhedonia is a common residual symptom associated with treatment resistance as well as low function and quality of life. There are currently no specific and effective treatments for anhedonia.

- Low levels of physical activity are linked to higher risks for new cardiac events in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors, which can be assessed through self-reports or accelerometers.
- A study aimed to compare self-reported and objectively measured physical activity levels among OHCA survivors in Sweden, Denmark, and the UK, with a hypothesis that self-reports would show moderate agreement with objective measures.
- Results indicated that survivors self-reported significantly more active days than what accelerometers recorded, showing a moderate correlation but only fair to slight agreement between the two assessment methods.
