The impact of a primary brain tumor diagnosis on caregivers: Insights from the patients' perspective.

Purpose: The diagnosis of a primary brain tumor (PBT) causes significant distress for the caregiver-patient dyad, warranting increased supportive care intervention. Although researchers have previously assessed caregivers' perceptions of their own supportive care needs, no study to date has identified how patients perceive the caregiving experience and/or patients' recommendations for integrating supportive care of caregivers in neuro-oncology. This qualitative study examined caregiver distress as well as caregiver supportive care needs from the patients' perspective to inform future intervention development.

Primary brain tumor representation in the post-traumatic growth literature: A scoping review.

Background: Post-traumatic growth (PTG) has been extensively explored within general oncology, yet little is known about the experience of PTG in neuro-oncology. This study aimed to determine the representation of patients with primary brain tumors (PBT) in the PTG literature.

Methods: PsycINFO, PubMed, and CINAHL were systematically searched from inception to December 2022.

Telehealth group Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in primary brain tumor: Primary outcomes from a single-arm phase II feasibility and proof-of-concept trial.

Background: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), the frontline treatment for insomnia, has yet to be evaluated among patients with primary brain tumors (PwPBT) despite high prevalence of sleep disturbance in this population. This study aimed to be the first to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and acceptability of implementing telehealth group CBT-I as well as assessing preliminary changes in subjective sleep metrics in PwPBT from baseline to follow-up.

Methods: Adult PwPBT were recruited to participate in six 90-min telehealth group CBT-I sessions.

Study protocol for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia in patients with primary brain tumor: A single-arm phase 2a proof-of-concept trial.

Background: Sleep disturbance is among the most common symptoms endorsed by patients with primary brain tumor (PwPBT), with many reporting clinically elevated insomnia and poor management of their sleep-related symptoms by their medical team. Though Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) remains the front-line treatment for sleep disturbance, CBT-I has yet to be evaluated in PwPBT. Thus, it is unknown whether CBT-I is feasible, acceptable, or safe for patients with primary brain tumors.

Publisher Correction: The loosening of American culture over 200 years is associated with a creativity-order trade-off.

In the version of this article initially published, errors appeared in three sentences. In the abstract, the sentence beginning "We next examine" should have read "adolescent pregnancies, crime, and high school attendance"; in the main text, the sentence beginning "More recently, the 1964 Civil Rights Act" should have read "directly challenged the authority of the government" and the sentence beginning "Notably, cultural tightness" should have read "cultural tightness positively correlated with crime". The errors have been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.

The loosening of American culture over 200 years is associated with a creativity-order trade-off.

For many years, scientists have studied culture by comparing societies, regions or social groups within a single point in time. However, culture is always changing, and this change affects the evolution of cognitive processes and behavioural practices across and within societies. Studies have now documented historical changes in sexism, individualism, language use and music preferences within the United States and around the world.
