Patient assessment of the CAPE: A solution to negative pressure isolation in an emergency department.

Introduction: The Collapsible Aerosolized Particle Enclosure (CAPE) is a negative pressure patient isolation device designed to protect patients and clinicians from aerosolized infectious particles. The CAPE is intended to provide a safe environment for care receipt and delivery when isolation capacity is limited. The goal of this study was to evaluate the acceptability of receiving care in the CAPE from the emergency department (ED) patient perspective.

A mixed-method systematic review of the perspectives of young people, carers and professionals on psychiatric diagnosis in childhood and adolescence.

Problem: The significance and complexities of a psychiatric diagnosis have been well-documented in existing literature. Despite the reliability and accuracy of such diagnoses, the impact and use of diagnostic labelling on young people remains unclear.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted using six databases, identifying 13 studies that explored psychiatric diagnosis experiences in professionals, caregivers, and young people.

Increased risk of severe COVID-19 in pregnancy in a multicenter propensity score-matched study.

Objectives: To explore the association between COVID-19 severity and pregnancy using measures such as COVID-19 ordinal scale severity score, hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, oxygen supplementation, invasive mechanical ventilation, and death.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter cohort study to understand the association between COVID-19 severity and pregnancy. We reviewed consecutive charts of adult females, ages 18-45, with laboratory testing for SARS-CoV-2 infection between March 1, 2020, and August 31, 2020.

Fear of clowns: An investigation into the aetiology of coulrophobia.

Introduction: Fear of clowns or coulrophobia is a little understood phenomenon despite studies indicating that it has a high prevalence in the general population. There have been no previous investigations into the aetiology of this fear, although several plausible hypotheses from the wider literature can be generated; the fear stems from media portrayals of scary clowns, from the unusual physical appearance or the unpredictable behaviour displayed, or it derives from an unpleasant personal experience.

Methods: The current study reviews the literature in this area and also pilots a new questionnaire (Origin of Fear of Clowns Questionnaire; OFCQ) to explore the causes of the fear of clowns in a sample of 528 participants who reported such a fear.

Physical activity interventions for the mental health of children: A systematic review.

Objective: This systematic review explored the effectiveness of using physical activity (PA) interventions to enhance psychological well-being and reduce psychological ill-being (e.g., anxiety and depression) in children aged six to 11 years old from the general population.
