The purpose of this observational study was to describe the collaboration between first-year nursing students using peer learning during their first clinical practice education. In earlier, predominantly interview studies, peer learning has been described as a model with several positive outcomes. However, no studies on how students act in collaboration in a real-life context have been found. The present study observed sixteen arbitrarily paired nursing students (eight pairs) on three to five occasions per pair, in total 164 h from September 2015 to March 2016. Repeated unstructured observations including informal conversations were used. Using qualitative content analysis, one theme 'Involuntary collaboration leads to growth in different competencies' emerged and three categories 'Practising nursing skills and abilities when working together', 'Establishing knowledge by helping each other to understand' and 'Sharing thoughts, feelings, and knowledge and put them into words'. In conclusion, nursing students using peer learning were observed practising several competencies, some of them not so easily elicited according to earlier research as organization, nursing leadership, teaching, and supervision.

Adolescence is a period in which peer problems and emotional symptoms markedly increase in prevalence. However, the causal mechanisms regarding how peer problems cause emotional symptoms at a behavioral level and vice versa remain unknown. To address this gap, the present study investigated the longitudinal network of peer problems and emotional symptoms among Australian adolescents aged 12-14 years.

Internalizing and externalizing psychiatric disorders among children are common and debilitating, affecting family interactions, learning and peer relations. The aim of the present quasi-randomised pilot-study was to investigate preliminary effects of a mentalization-based time-limited treatment (MBT-C) for children with mixed psychiatric disorders. The trial comprised 17 children, aged 4-11 with mixed disorders, and their parents, admitted to an outpatient psychotherapy clinic.

In 2018, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) established the original 19 Headache Centers of Excellence (HCoE) program, and an evaluation center. This study utilized a Veteran engagement group method to elicit input from Veteran patients living with chronic headache on daily needs, social determinants of health, and preferences and suggestions for headache programs, services, and research priorities. Four engagement groups were conducted between July 13 and August 22 of 2022 with Veterans who experience headache and received care at a VHA HCoE.

Background: Current methods of measuring disease progression of neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD), largely rely on composite clinical rating scales, which are prone to subjective biases and lack the sensitivity to detect progression signals in a timely manner. Digital health technology (DHT)-derived measures offer potential solutions to provide objective, precise, and sensitive measures that address these limitations. However, the complexity of DHT datasets and the potential to derive numerous digital features that were not previously possible to measure pose challenges, including in selection of the most important digital features and construction of composite digital biomarkers.

Introduction: Stigmatizing attitudes held by health care professionals against individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) result in worse clinical outcomes. Story-listening has been shown to help mitigate bias for medical trainees. We created a narrative-based small-group facilitated discussion between medical students and an individual in recovery from SUD through a direct partnership with a community peer-recovery organization.
