Exploring religiosity, perceived mental health, and coping behaviors of undergraduate African American college students in the South.

: The current study explored the relationships of religiosity and coping behaviors on the perceived mental health of undergraduate African American (AA) college students enrolled at a large public university in the Southern United States. We used a cross-sectional survey design. AA and/or African descent adult college participants ( = 131) were recruited from an online chat group (ie, GroupMe) and completed the Brief-COPE, a demographic questionnaire, and a single-item mental health tool.

Clinical and Humanistic Burden of IgAN in Adult Patients: A Global Real-World Survey.

Background: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is a chronic, progressive kidney disease in which proteinuria, reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), pain and fatigue are common. How symptoms interact and impact patient quality of life (QoL) in real-world practice is poorly studied. This study investigated how patient and physician symptom perceptions differ and how proteinuria and eGFR correlate with pain, fatigue, and QoL in adult IgAN patients.

Assessment of joint health in patients receiving prophylaxis for haemophilia A: a cross-sectional survey in five European countries.

Objectives: To evaluate joint health, pain and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with moderate/severe haemophilia A in Europe.

Design: Multinational, cross-sectional survey, with retrospective data collection. Data were taken from the Adelphi Real World Haemophilia Disease Specific Programme Wave II, using surveys completed by physicians and patients between February 2020 and May 2021.

In Coping with Intimate Partner Violence, Women's Beliefs About Forgiveness Matter.

Women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) often feel pressured to forgive their abusers and remain in dangerous relationships. However, forgiveness does not have to include reconciliation and it may be conceptualized in different ways. This quantitative study surveyed 110 women who experienced IPV from men and separated from their abusers.

Multiscale mushy layer model for Arctic marginal ice zone dynamics.

Perhaps the most dynamic component of the Arctic sea ice cover is the marginal ice zone (MIZ), the transitional region between dense pack ice to the north and open ocean to the south. It widens by a factor of four while seasonally migrating more than 1600 km poleward in the Bering-Chukchi Sea sector, impacting climate dynamics, ecological processes, and human accessibility to the Arctic. Here we showcase a transformative mathematical modeling approach to understanding changes in MIZ location and width, focusing on their seasonal cycles as observed by satellites.
