The purpose of our study was to examine rates of consent to participate in research in voluntarily and involuntarily hospitalized psychiatric patients in order to evaluate factors that may influence the decision to participate in research. We used logistic regression models to evaluate differences and found that involuntary patients were less likely to consent to participate. After adjustment for covariates, we found that consent rates did not differ between the involuntary and voluntary population, but that lower Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scores and psychosis negatively affected the decision to consent to research. We discuss the implications of our findings.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored how the desire for independence, perceived achievement, and relationship status are connected among 667 Greek-speaking participants, focusing on singles and those in relationships.
- Results indicated that both men and women who sought more independence were more likely to be voluntarily single; this was particularly significant for men, linking a stronger desire for independence with longer periods of being single.
- Although perceived achievement didn't directly affect relationship status, it was associated with fewer years of being single for men and contributed to higher self-esteem and flirting ability, which played a role in relationship dynamics for both genders.

Stroke-caused synergies may result from the preferential use of the reticulospinal tract (RST) due to damage to the corticospinal tract. The RST branches multiple motoneuron pools across the arm together resulting in gross motor control or abnormal synergies, and accordingly, the controllability of individual muscles decreases. However, it is not clear whether muscles involuntarily activated by abnormal synergy vary depending on the muscles voluntarily activated when motor commands descend through the RST.

Introduction: This study examined the impact of statutory revisions in 2016 which aimed to enhance procedural justice within the process of civil commitment for persons diagnosed with mental illnesses (PDMI) in South Korea. These changes included requiring that PDMI pose a threat of danger to self or others and the need for treatment simultaneously as criteria for petitioning civil commitment. Additionally, the revision established a public entity to oversee the legitimacy of petitions to involuntarily commit PDMI to inpatient treatment.

Background: Coercion perceived by psychiatric inpatients is not exclusively determined by formal measures such as involuntary admissions, seclusion or restraint, but is also associated with patients' characteristics and professionals' attitude.
Aims: This study examined how inpatients' involvement in the decision making process, the respect of their decision making preference, and their feeling of having been treated fairly mediate the relationship between involuntary hospitalisation and perceived coercion both at admission and during hospital stay.
Methods: Mediation analysis were performed in order to study the relationship between involuntary hospitalisation and perceived coercion among 230 patients, voluntarily and involuntarily admitted in six psychiatric hospitals.
