Nurses in a variety of settings frequently use behavior modification strategies to promote health behavior change. Shaming is one such behavior modification tool, but its use in nursing is poorly understood. A concept analysis using Walker and Avant's method was performed. After an extensive literature review, a conceptual definition of shaming is proposed and defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences are presented. Shaming is also differentiated from related concepts often used synonymously such as stigmatization and incivility. Shaming as a behavior modification strategy is incongruous with nursing values and its utilization in nursing warrants further investigation.

Adherence to guideline-recommended therapies for peripheral artery disease (PAD), including pharmacotherapy (antiplatelet, lipid-lowering, and antihypertensive agents) and lifestyle modifications (smoking cessation, diet, weight management, and physical activity) remains low. Though single-component interventions targeting smoking cessation, exercise, or medication adherence show some efficacy, comprehensive multicomponent interventions are vital for addressing the complexity of PAD management. This review systematically synthesized multicomponent interventions for patients with PAD.

Rapid-Eye-Movement (REM) sleep is an essential part of sleep dominating the second half of the night. A disturbance of the phy-siological muscle hypotonia of REM sleep can lead to dream enactment: REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD). In the absence of a disease of the central nervous system or provoking factors such as sleep apnea, alcohol consumption or antidepressants, isolated RBD (iRBD) may be present.

Objective: Evidence suggests that exercise timing is crucial in reducing the impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present study explores the effects of delayed and early exercise on brain damage, cognitive dysfunction, and anxiety behavior using an experimental TBI model.
Methods: We randomly assigned 36 male rats to six groups: control (sham, TBI), treadmill exercise (24hA, 1-month exercise 24 h after TBI), 1WA (1-month exercise 1 week after TBI), 1MB (1-month exercise before TBI), and 1MBA (1-month exercise before and after TBI).

Objective: Individuals with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) primarily exhibit deficits in communication and social interaction, along with repetitive behaviors and restricted interests. This disorder is often associated with anxiety, nociceptive disorders, and pain. While medical treatment generally focuses on treating the symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes, traditional medicine is sometimes used as an alternative.
