Thematic analysis of COVID-19's impacts on transitions among emerging adults.

Objectives: This study explored how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted emerging adults. Previous COVID-19 research with this age demographic has focused on specific facets of life transitions (e.g.

The role of functional disability and social support in psychological outcomes for individuals with pediatric hypermobile ehlers-danlos syndrome.

Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) includes physical symptoms of chronic pain, fatigue, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and joint subluxations/dislocations. This study aims to fill a research gap regarding the psychosocial well-being in pediatric hEDS by assessing relationships between functional disability, social support, and mental health. Increased functional disability is hypothesized to be associated with increased mental health challenges, specifically anxiety and depression, and general social support is hypothesized to moderate this relationship, such that higher perceived social support will mitigate the negative psychological impacts of functional disability.

Systematic evaluation of commercially available pain management apps examining behavior change techniques.

Mobile health (mHealth) apps have the potential to enhance pain management through the use of daily diaries, medication and appointment reminders, education, and facilitating communication between patients and providers. Although many pain management apps exist, the extent to which these apps use evidence-based behavior change techniques (BCTs) remains largely unknown, making it nearly impossible for providers to recommend apps with evidence-based strategies. This study systematically evaluated commercially available pain management apps for evidence-based BCTs and app quality.
