This pilot study assessed the feasibility and combined effect of aerobic exercise (AE) and mindfulness meditation (MM), compared with MM alone and a control (CON) condition, on stress, anxiety, and depression in high-stress college-based young adults. Thirty-two participants (84.4% F, 20.5 ± 2.7 years, 23.9 ± 5.0 kg/m) were randomized to a four-week, AE + MM ( = 16), MM ( = 10), or control intervention ( = 6). ANOVA revealed non-significant, but noteworthy group x time interactions (perceived stress: = 0.09; anxiety/depression: = 0.07). Both AE + MM and MM seem to be feasible strategies to reduce levels of stress, anxiety and depression in college-based young adults.

Investigating context-specific sedentary behaviours and cardiometabolic health in college-based young adults (CONTEXT-SB): a protocol for a longitudinal observational study.
BMJ Open
December 2024
Department of Exercise and Sport Science, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA.
Background: Sedentary behaviour (SB) is detrimental to cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk, which can begin in young adulthood. To devise effective SB-CMD interventions in young adults, it is important to understand which context-specific SB (CS-SB) are most detrimental for CMD risk, the lifestyle behaviours that cluster with CS-SBs and the socioecological predictors of CS-SB.
Methods And Analysis: This longitudinal observational study will recruit 500 college-aged (18-24 years) individuals.

Aim: To explore and explain the mechanisms that influence surface acting in nursing students with different characteristics.
Background: Nurses are now expected to deliver patient-centered care which necessitates the emotional labor. Surface acting, a form of emotional labor, can lead to negative outcomes.
Borderline personality disorder is a common, treatable condition that usually presents in late adolescence or early adulthood. Patients with borderline personality disorder are disproportionately represented in many clinical settings. Early identification and intervention of borderline personality disorder could help address the current mental health affecting young adults.
