Metacognitive interventions have received increasing interest the last decade and there is a need to synthesize the evidence of these type of interventions. The current study is an updated systematic review and meta-analysis where we investigated the efficacy of metacognitive interventions for adults with psychiatric disorders. We included randomized controlled trials that investigated either metacognitive therapy (MCT; developed by Wells) or metacognitive training (MCTraining; developed by Moritz).

- Guidelines for cardiac arrest management were analyzed to assess the strength and quality of the evidence supporting them, revealing both strengths and significant gaps in knowledge.
- The review of the 2020 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines identified 254 recommendations, mostly classified under advanced life support (ALS) and basic life support (BLS), but only 1% of recommendations were based on the strongest level of evidence (LOE A).
- Only 32% of the highest class recommendations were backed by strong evidence (LOE A or B), highlighting the need for more rigorous research, especially randomized trials, to improve the quality of guidelines.
Background: A large proportion of individuals experience functional impairment in everyday life due to climate worry. However, the current understanding of this functional impairment is limited by the use of suboptimal measures. Furthermore, it is not known whether functional impairment due to climate worry affects pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) or whether individuals who experience such impairment perceive a need for support.

Design: Eighteen handball players (naturally menstruating: n = 8) completed performance test batteries on three separate occasions.
Methods: The performance test battery included: a 1-repetition Smith machine back squat, maximal handgrip strength tests, counter-movement jumps, squat jumps, a modified agility T-test, and 15-m linear sprints.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored how menstrual cycle phases affect symptom severity and recovery in female athletes, comparing those on different hormonal contraceptives to non-users.
- It found that symptom severity was higher during bleeding days, with hormonal contraceptive users generally reporting milder symptoms, particularly implant users.
- Additionally, pre-bleeding phases correlated with lower sleep quality and readiness to train, emphasizing the need for personalized recovery strategies based on individual symptoms throughout the menstrual cycle.
