Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of psychological separation and health locus of control on the health care transition readiness of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with type 1 diabetes.
Methods: Data were collected between December 2020 and October 2021. One hundred twelve AYAs with type 1 diabetes treated at a tertiary hospital and under follow-up observation as well as AYAs with type 1 diabetes nationwide who were part of the type 1 diabetes internet community were enrolled. The Psychological Separation Inventory, the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control scale from C, and the Self-management and Transition to Adulthood with Therapeutics = Rx Questionnaire were used.
Results: Multiple regression analysis indicated that age (β = 0.302, p = .001), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (β = -0.174, p = .040), conflictual separation (β = 0.242, p = .005), functional separation (β = 0.200, p = .045) and attitudinal separation (β = -0.240 p = .015) were significantly associated with health management transition readiness; these predictors explained 27.6% of health care transition readiness (F = 8.062, p = .000).
Conclusions: AYAs with type 1 diabetes can enhance readiness for health care transition by fostering psychological separation from parents, effectively managing blood glucose levels, and taking into account age-related factors during the preparation process. At this point, it is essential for healthcare professionals to guide parents in recognizing adolescents' psychological independence and facilitating their supportive role through the process of redefining their roles.
Practice Implications: Health care providers should promote psychological separation in AYAs. Additionally, taking into account the developmental characteristics of adolescence can facilitate a successful health care transition.

Acknowledging relevant risk factors can inform preventive strategies. This study aimed to identify chronic pain profiles 6 months after arthroplasty using the ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases) classification and to find pre and postsurgical predictors of these profiles.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of pain-related anxiety on abdominal muscles thickness during standing postural tasks among individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
Methods: We obtained responses to a pain-related anxiety symptoms questionnaire from 50 participants with CLBP. We then separated participants into high (11 men, 14 women) and low pain-related anxiety (13 men, 12 women) groups and compared assessments of their lateral abdominal muscles thickness during standing tasks on a computerized balance assessment device, using one static level and 2 movable levels (levels 6 and 3 are represented easy and difficult tasks respectively).

Many aspects of human performance require producing sequences of items in serial order. The current study takes a multiple-case approach to investigate whether the system responsible for serial order is shared across cognitive domains, focusing on working memory (WM) and word production. Serial order performance in three individuals with post-stroke language and verbal WM disorders (hereafter persons with aphasia, PWAs) were assessed using recognition and recall tasks for verbal and visuospatial WM, as well as error analyses in spoken and written production tasks to assess whether there was a tendency to produce the correct phonemes/letters in the wrong order.
