Our objective was to survey opinions on cognitive assessment and rehabilitation of Russian-speaking clinicians working with stroke and dementia patients. An online survey was circulated to professional communities soliciting feedback from clinicians about methods used for cognitive assessment and rehabilitation; expected cognitive impairments in dementia and stroke; variables affecting the cognitive abilities of patients; and topics presented during psycho-educational initiatives. Forty-eight physicians, 50 psychologists, and 12 speech-language pathologists completed the survey. 96% of participants reported estimating the cognitive abilities of patients while performing diagnostics and treatment in clinical settings. The most popular tools for cognitive assessment were Russian versions of the MoCA, MMSE, Luria Neuropsychological Battery, and Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB). 60% of participants reported the provision of cognitive rehabilitation, and 61% provided psychoeducation. All groups reported that the cognitive reserve and the idiopathic features of a brain lesion were the main factors influencing patients' cognitive profile. In the case of stroke patients, clinicians observed aphasia, as well as impairments in attention, memory, and reasoning. For patients with dementia, memory deficits were coincident with executive/frontal, praxis, and visuo-perceptual impairments. Psychotherapy-related psychoeducation was delivered by most of the clinicians. The captured patterns of clinical practice followed, in part, Russian national guidelines for cognitive rehabilitation and, in part, international protocols, wherein we found some professional group differences in implementation of practice. The profile in approaches to stroke and dementia assessment and rehabilitation reveal a new benchmark for future studies and for the development of policies for neuropsychological assessment and treatment in Russian language.

Risk-stratified Care Improves Pain-related Knowledge and Reduces Psychological Distress for Low Back Pain: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Trial.
Clin Orthop Relat Res

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Brooke Army Medical Center, JBSA Fort Sam Houston, TX, USA.
Background: A number of efforts have been made to tailor behavioral healthcare treatments to the variable needs of patients with low back pain (LBP). The most common approach involves the STarT Back Screening Tool (SBST) to triage the need for psychologically informed care, which explores concerns about pain and addresses unhelpful beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. Such beliefs that pain always signifies injury or tissue damage and that exercise should be avoided have been implied as psychosocial mediators of chronic pain and can impede recovery.

Scientific Directorate, Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori di Milano, Milano, Italy.
Background: "Patient Voices" is a software developed to promote the systematic collection of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) in routine oncology clinical practice.
Objective: This study aimed to assess compliance with and feasibility of the Patient Voices ePROM system and analyze patient-related barriers in an Italian comprehensive cancer center.
Methods: Consecutive patients with cancer attending 3 outpatient clinics and 3 inpatient wards were screened for eligibility (adults, native speakers, and being able to fill in the ePROMs) and enrolled in a quantitative and qualitative multimethod study.
Integrating Videoconferencing Therapist Guidance Into Stepped Care Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Child and Adolescent Anxiety: Noninferiority Randomized Controlled Trial.
JMIR Ment Health
January 2025
School of Applied Psychology & Centre for Mental Health, Griffith University, Mt Gravatt, Australia.
Background: Self-guided internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) achieves greater reach than ICBT delivered with therapist guidance, but demonstrates poorer engagement and fewer clinical benefits. Alternative models of care are required that promote engagement and are effective, accessible, and scalable.
Objective: This randomized trial evaluated whether a stepped care approach to ICBT using therapist guidance via videoconferencing for the step-up component (ICBT-SC[VC]) is noninferior to ICBT with full therapist delivery by videoconferencing (ICBT-TG[VC]) for child and adolescent anxiety.
Music and hypnosis for well-being in retirement homes: A pilot study.

Université Laval, Québec, QC, Canada.
Anxiety, pain and poor well-being are major issues in elderly individuals. Complementary interventions, such as music and hypnosis, are increasingly used to address these issues. The objectives of this study were to assess immediate changes in anxiety, pain and well-being during personalized prerecorded music and hypnosis interventions compared to control sessions, and to explore participants' subjective experiences.

Purpose: This study aimed to adapt the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Hearing Impaired (MoCA-H) into Brazilian Portuguese (BP).
Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative, and qualitative study involving participants selected by convenience. The instrument was adapted from its original version, in a six-stage process consisting of the following: Stage 1 - Translation and back translation of the MoCA-H; Stage 2 - Stimulus analysis and selection; Stage 3 - Semantic analysis of stimuli; Stage 4 - Analysis by non-expert judges, part 1; Stage 5 - Analysis by non-expert judges, part 2; Stage 6 - Pilot study.
