Children with emotional and behavioral disturbance often have difficulties in multiple symptom domains. This study investigates the relationships between child symptoms and caregiver strain and parenting stress among 177 youth and their caregivers participating in a school-based system of care. Youth were grouped by symptom domain and included those with low scores on both internalizing and externalizing symptoms, those with only high internalizing symptoms, those with only high externalizing symptoms, and those with high symptoms levels in both internalizing and externalizing domains. Results revealed significant group differences on measures of caregiver strain and parenting stress. Caregivers of youth with symptoms in both internalizing and externalizing domains reported the highest levels of strain and stress; however, there was some variation in group differences by caregiver outcome. The results of this study emphasize the importance of not only providing services for youth, but also providing support services for their caregivers.

Background: Hospital readmission following critical illness is common. There is limited data which examines the patient and family perspective of hospital readmission. Understanding the impact of readmissions from a patient perspective can potentially help design meaningful clinical pathways to support improvements in care.

Objectives: Post-stroke emotionalism (PSE) is a common, under-researched neurologic symptom of stroke, characterised by frequent crying episodes not under usual social control. Currently, there are no data on carer strain in the context of emotionalism after stroke. We aimed to explore the degree of carer strain in carers of individuals with diagnosed PSE compared with carers of individuals with stroke but no PSE to examine whether carer strain varies with particular characteristics of the cared for individual (patient age, sex, social deprivation, stroke type, functional status, mood status) and to quantify the impact of PSE on carer strain, after accounting for other factors.

Background: As Alzheimer disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) progress, individuals increasingly require assistance from unpaid, informal caregivers to support them in activities of daily living. These caregivers may experience high levels of financial, mental, and physical strain associated with providing care. CareVirtue is a web-based tool created to connect and support multiple individuals across a care network to coordinate care activities and share important information, thereby reducing care burden.

Background: Early detection and treatment of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) could reduce the risk of developing life-threatening sepsis in childhood. However, little is known about sepsis caused by CRKP in children under-5 in developing countries. This study aimed to determine the epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance profile, associated risk factors and management of CRKP in children under-5 with sepsis in Ethiopia.

Introduction: Little is known about the factors associated with care-resistant behavior in community-dwelling persons living with dementia.
Methods: Regression modeling was performed on 41,143 responses to a standardized questionnaire from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center's Uniform Data Set.
Results: In the fully adjusted mixed-effects regression model, collinearity was low, with no variance inflation factor above 1.
