Objective: The aim of the study was to examine discrepancies in family resilience between parents and their adolescent offspring and the differences in the predicting variables of family resilience between these two groups in the context of political violence. Toward that aim, we explored the interplay among exposure to security threats, gender, anxiety, individual resilience, self-differentiation, and family resilience.
Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study, which included 89 dyads of parents and adolescents who had been exposed to missile fire for 13 years, employing the following questionnaires: demographic parameters, exposure to security threats, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Family Resilience Assessment Scale, and the Differentiation of Self-Inventory.
Results: Repeated measures ANOVA showed no differences between parents' and adolescents' reports of family resilience. Actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) indicated that in both groups, higher family resilience was predicted by high individual resilience. Parents' family resilience was predicted by high levels of individual resilience and self-differentiation. Adolescents' family resilience was predicted by gender and individual resilience. Adolescents' self-differentiation predicted family resilience only when parents' level of self-differentiation was high.
Conclusions: The findings are discussed in the context of the developmental stage of adolescence in the family life cycle as well as the importance of psychoeducational interventions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).

Aim: To understand the extent and type of evidence in relation to the effectiveness of intervention strategies targeting working pregnant women, and their partners, for the prevention of mental health problems (depression, anxiety) and improving resilience, from conception until the child is 5 years of age.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted searching Pubmed (including Medline), Embase, Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus. Inclusion criteria were based on population (employed parents), context (from -9 months to 5 years postpartum) and concept (mental health problems, resilience and prevention/ preventative interventions).

Background: Receiving a child's cancer diagnosis is a highly traumatic experience for parents, often leading to significant psychological distress, including symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The way healthcare professionals deliver this news can affect the severity of parents' reactions. While some research examines communication style's impact on patients, few studies focus on its effects on parents.

The non-specific lipid-transfer proteins (LTPs), particularly the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored LTPs (LTPGs), play pivotal roles in various plant physiological functions, particularly in the context of environmental stress adaptation. Despite their importance, LTPGs in willow (Salix matsudana), an ecologically and economically important species, remains poorly understood. This study systematically identified and characterized 30 SmLTPGs in the S.

Dormant disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) remain viable for years to decades before establishing a clinically overt metastatic lesion. DTCs are known to be highly resilient and able to overcome the multiple biological hurdles imposed along the metastatic cascade. However, the specific metabolic adaptations of dormant DTCs remain to be elucidated.

Background And Hypothesis: For the rapidly growing population of older people living with schizophrenia (PLWS), psychological resilience, or the capacity to adapt to adversity, is an understudied target for improving health. Little is known about resilience and its longitudinal impact on outcomes among PLWS. This study assesses trajectories of resilience-related traits in PLWS and a nonpsychiatric comparison group (NCs) and longitudinal interactions between resilience and health.
