The romantic relationships of adopted adolescents.

Introduction: There is a gap in the literature on the romantic relationships of adopted adolescents. To address this issue, the present study has three aims: (1) to explore differences between adopted and non-adopted adolescents in terms of their involvement in and the length of their romantic relationships; (2) to explore the quality of these relationships; and (3) to analyze associations between affective relationships and well-being in both groups.

Method: The sample comprised 276 adopted (64.

Stress of school performance among secondary students: The role of classroom goal structures and teacher support.

With concern growing about the increasing levels of school stress among secondary school students, examining its associations with students' perceptions of important elements in classroom climate can offer valuable scientific information. However, there is minimal research about the role of perceived classroom goal structures and teacher support in school stress. In addition, most research on classroom goal structure has not made a distinction between performance-approach structures and performance-avoidance structures, which may have different effects on school stress.

Bullying, cyberbullying, and adoption: What is the role of student-teacher connectedness?

Bullying and cyberbullying have rarely been studied among the adoptive population, although the few studies available show adopted students frequently experience these phenomena. To address this research gap, this article examined potential differences in bullying and cyberbullying between domestic adoptees, intercountry adoptees, and nonadopted students, paying separate attention to frequent and occasional victimization and perpetration experiences. In addition, the aims of the article include analyzing student-teacher connectedness in these groups and exploring its potential protective role for the aforementioned bullying and cyberbullying experiences.

School Satisfaction and School Pressure in the WHO European Region and North America: An Analysis of Time Trends (2002-2018) and Patterns of Co-occurrence in 32 Countries.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the trends between 2002 and 2018 in school pressure and school satisfaction among 15-year-old students, across countries and by gender, in the WHO European region and North America, and explore whether there are variations between countries and by gender in the co-occurrence of school pressure and school satisfaction.

Methods: Data from the 32 countries that participated in the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study (HBSC) study between 2002 and 2018 were used. Statistical analyses included t-tests, binary logistic regression analyses, and chi-square tests, as required by each of the study aims.

Multi-ethnic minority nurses' knowledge and practice of genetics and genomics.

Purpose: Exploratory studies establishing how well nurses have integrated genomics into practice have demonstrated there remains opportunity for education. However, little is known about educational gaps in multi-ethnic minority nurse populations. The purpose of this study was to determine minority nurses' beliefs, practices, and competency in integrating genetics-genomics information into practice using an online survey tool.

Pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis: assessment and management in the emergency department setting.

Emergency departments are frequently confronted with had infections. Significant morbidity can result from hand infections when they are not appropriately diagnosed or treated. Clinical recognition, proper initial evaluation, and treatment are key to prevent functional deficit or devastated morbidity when confronted with hand infections.

Omnidirectional structured light in a flexible configuration.

Structured light is a perception method that allows us to obtain 3D information from images of the scene by projecting synthetic features with a light emitter. Traditionally, this method considers a rigid configuration, where the position and orientation of the light emitter with respect to the camera are known and calibrated beforehand. In this paper we propose a new omnidirectional structured light system in flexible configuration, which overcomes the rigidness of the traditional structured light systems.

Cystic fibrosis: a clinician's tool for management of care advancing into the adult population.

Purpose: To discuss the role of the nurse practitioner in medical management of adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).

Data Sources: A systematic literature review was done by searching online databases: CINAHYL, OVID, and Medline. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF) guidelines were reviewed.

Black-spot poison ivy: a rare phenomenon.

Purpose: To provide an overview of the clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and treatment with advanced practice nursing implications of black-spot poison ivy phenomenon.

Data Sources: Case presentation and comprehensive literature review on black-spot poison ivy.

Conclusions: Black-spot poison ivy is a rare phenomenon and usually poses a diagnostic challenge.

Mondor's disease: a case study.

Purpose: To provide an overview of the clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and treatment with advanced practice nursing implications of Mondor's disease.

Data Sources: Case presentation and comprehensive literature review on Mondor's disease.

Conclusions: Mondor's disease is a rare disorder that can present after breast surgery.

Patient with a globe rupture.

Eye injuries are a leading cause of monocular blindness within the United States. The management of patients who have sustained eye injuries can be challenging for advanced practice nurses (APNs) who work in emergency care settings. APNs are required to have a thorough understanding of eye injuries in order to promptly and accurately assess and manage eye emergencies.

Follow-up of healthy donors receiving granulocyte colony-stimulating factor for peripheral blood progenitor cell mobilization and collection. Results of the Spanish Donor Registry.

Background: Information about the long-term follow-up and safety of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration to healthy donors is limited. The aims of this study were to analyze the side effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration in donors included in a Spanish Registry of hematopoietic stem cell donors and to determine the long-term outcome of these donors.

Design And Methods: The Spanish National Donor Registry was developed to record the short- and long-term results of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration to mobilize peripheral blood progenitor cells in normal donors.
