Article Synopsis
- Family caregivers of people with gynecologic cancer face significant emotional challenges, and while online support has helped, mobile health (mHealth) apps may provide a more practical solution by enhancing communication between patients and caregivers.
- The study aimed to gather insights into the features and usage preferences for an mHealth app designed to assist both patients with gynecologic cancer and their caregivers.
- Focus groups with cancer patients and their caregivers revealed key themes, including struggles to find relevant information and support, uncertainty about the urgency of health issues, and specific desired features for the mHealth app to facilitate better self-management and communication.
Background: Digital health interventions show potential to increase caregivers' access to psychosocial care; however, it is unclear to what extent existing interventions may need to be tailored to meet caregivers' unique needs.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether-and if so, how-an efficacious Internet-delivered insomnia program should be modified for caregivers. The generalizability of these findings beyond the tested program was also examined.
Background: Delivering insomnia treatment by the Internet holds promise for increasing care access to family caregivers, but their ability to adhere to and benefit from such fully-automated programs has not been rigorously tested.
Purpose: This fully-powered, single-group trial tested whether characteristics of the caregiving context influence high-intensity caregivers' engagement with and benefit from an empirically validated Internet intervention for insomnia.
Methods: At baseline, caregivers providing unpaid time- and responsibility-intensive care who reported insomnia (N = 100; age M = 52.
We investigate extreme value statistics (EVS) of general discrete time and continuous space symmetric jump processes. We first show that for unbounded jump processes, the semi-infinite propagator G_{0}(x,n), defined as the probability for a particle issued from zero to be at position x after n steps whilst staying positive, is the key ingredient needed to derive a variety of joint distributions of extremes and times at which they are reached. Along with exact expressions, we extract universal asymptotic behaviors of such quantities.

Those exposed to repeated flexion-compression are at a higher risk for LBP, such as helicopter pilots and motor vehicle operators. Animal injury models offer insight into in vivo injury mechanisms, but interspecies scaling is needed to relate animal results to human.
