Moderating effect of cultural differences on the association between social media use and mental health outcomes in adolescents: A cross-cultural comparison study.

The influence of social media on the mental health of adolescents has been controversial and the findings in the literature are inconclusive. Although prior studies have identified several factors that may cause or trigger the proposed relationship, little is known about the culture-related factors as an underlying mechanism that could explain the complexity of this association. This study addressed this gap by examining the associations between the two domains of social media (i.

Using Personalized Avatars as an Adjunct to an Adult Weight Loss Management Program: Randomized Controlled Feasibility Study.

Background: Obesity is a global public health concern. Interventions rely predominantly on managing dietary intake and increasing physical activity; however, sustained adherence to behavioral regimens is often poor. The lack of sustained motivation, self-efficacy, and poor adherence to behavioral regimens are recognized barriers to successful weight loss.

Preparing children's nurses for working with children and adolescents who self-harm: Evaluating the 'our care through our eyes' e-learning training package.

Rates of self-harm among children and adolescents have risen significantly over the past decade and clinical guidelines place children's nurses at the heart of their care. This article reports on the evaluation of 'Our Care Through Our Eyes', an online self-harm learning programme for children's nurses. A self-selected, convenience sample of registered children's nurses (n = 42) completed scales pre- and postlearning programme that captured their attitudes, beliefs, empathy, anxiety, and confidence.

Protocol for a feasibility study and process evaluation of a psychosocially modelled diabetes education programme for young people with type 1 diabetes: the Youth Empowerment Skills (YES) programme.

Introduction: Adolescence is a challenging period for young people with type 1 diabetes, associated with worsening glycaemia and care disengagement. Educational interventions in this period tend to focus on diabetes-specific skills, with less emphasis on the psychosocial challenges associated with diabetes experienced by young people. To address this limitation, we codesigned with young people a psychosocially modelled programme of diabetes education, named 'Youth Empowerment Skills' (YES).

Background And Aim: Over 21,000 new cases of gynecological cancer are diagnosed annually in the United Kingdom. There is evidence of cancer patients altering their eating habits before and during treatment. Some women with gynecological cancer make conscious decisions to change their diet as self-management for their cancer symptoms and to adopt a healthier lifestyle.

Factors contributing to reported medication administration incidents in patients' homes - A text mining analysis.

Aims: To describe the characteristics of medication administration (MA) incidents reported to have occurred in patients' own homes (reporters' profession, incident types, contributing factors, patient consequence, and most common medications involved) and to identify the connection terms related to the most common contributing factors based on free text descriptions.

Design: A retrospective study using descriptive statistical analysis and text mining.

Methods: Medication administration incidents (N = 19,725) reported to have occurred in patients' homes between 2013-2018 in one district in Finland were analysed, describing the data by the reporters' occupation, incident type, contributing factors, and patient consequence.

A comparison between independent nurse prescribing and patient group directions in the safety and appropriateness of medication provision in United Kingdom sexual health services: A mixed methods study.

Background: United Kingdom legislation allows nurses to autonomously provide medications as independent nurse prescribers or using patient group directions. Evidence of medication safety and appropriateness is limited. We compared nurse prescribers and patient group direction users in terms of prevalence, types and severity of medication provision errors.

Factors Related to Medication Administration Incidents in England and Wales Between 2007 and 2016: A Retrospective Trend Analysis.

Objectives: The aims of the study were to describe medication administration incidents reported in England and Wales between 2007 and 2016, to identify which factors (reporting year, type of incident, patients' age) are most strongly related to reported severity of medication administration incidents, and to assess the extent to which relevant information was underreported or indeterminate.

Methods: Medication administration incidents reported to the National Reporting & Learning System between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2016 were obtained. Characteristics of the data were described using frequencies, and relationships between variables were explored using cross-tabulation.

Developing a better biopsychosocial understanding of pain in inflammatory bowel disease: a cross-sectional study.

Objective: Pain is frequently reported by patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Pain in IBD is not fully explained by disease activity or other clinical findings, and a recent systematic review suggested that psychosocial factors have an important role in IBD-pain. The aim of this study was to investigate psychosocial factors associated with pain in IBD.

The Contribution of Staffing to Medication Administration Errors: A Text Mining Analysis of Incident Report Data.

Purpose: (a) To describe trigger terms that can be used to identify reports of inadequate staffing contributing to medication administration errors, (b) to identify such reports, (c) to compare the degree of harm within incidents with and without those triggers, and (d) to examine the association between the most commonly reported inadequate staffing trigger terms and the incidence of omission errors and "no harm" terms.

Design And Setting: This was a retrospective study using descriptive statistical analysis, text mining, and manual analysis of free text descriptions of medication administration-related incident reports (N = 72,390) reported to the National Reporting and Learning System for England and Wales in 2016.

Methods: Analysis included identifying terms indicating inadequate staffing (manual analysis), followed by text parsing, filtering, and concept linking (SAS Text Miner tool).

Identifying risks areas related to medication administrations - text mining analysis using free-text descriptions of incident reports.

Background: Some medications carry increased risk of patient harm when they are given in error. In incident reports, names of the medications that are involved in errors could be found written both in a specific medication field and/or within the free text description of the incident. Analysing only the names of the medications implicated in a specific unstructured medication field does not give information of the associated factors and risk areas, but when analysing unstructured free text descriptions, the information about the medication involved and associated risk factors may be buried within other non-relevant text.

Electrochemotherapy for the palliative management of cutaneous metastases: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Electrochemotherapy combines electroporation in conjunction with chemotherapeutic agents and is used to treat tumours in many localisations, including cutaneous metastases.
