AI Article Synopsis
- Parents' sensitivity in raising children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) hinges on their insightfulness and resolution regarding the child's diagnosis, with studies suggesting this applies to fathers as well.
- The study observed 80 preschool boys with ASD and their parents, finding that more insightful fathers and resolved mothers demonstrated greater sensitivity in their interactions with their child.
- While a connection was observed between parental insightfulness and resolution, and their positive interactions with each other, no direct correlation was found between the insights of fathers and the resolutions of mothers impacting their sensitivity levels.
Article Abstract
Sensitivity among parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is based on parental insightfulness and on resolution regarding the child's diagnosis. This has been supported in studies of mothers, and we examined whether the same is true regarding fathers. Also, we asked whether parents' Insightfulness and Resolution tap general mentalization and therefore also be expressed in parent-parent interactions. Eighty preschooler boys with ASD and both of their parents participated. As expected, fathers who were more insightful and mothers who were more resolved were more sensitive. Contrary to expectations, no associations were found between fathers' resolution and mothers' insightfulness and their sensitivity. Associations were found between parental insightfulness and resolution and positive parent-parent interaction. The findings are the first to demonstrate the insightfulness-sensitivity link among fathers of children with ASD. Also, they suggest that both insightfulness and resolution involve general mentalization that is evident both in parent-child and parent-parent interactions.

Article Synopsis
- Research shows that resolving trauma can positively impact mothers with a history of childhood maltreatment in terms of their mental health and parenting skills.
- The study developed and validated a scale called trauma-specific reflective functioning (T-RF), which assesses how mothers think about and process their trauma experiences.
- Results indicate that mothers with higher T-RF scores tend to be more insightful about their children's mental states, highlighting the importance of understanding trauma for better parenting and mental health outcomes.

Department of Humanistic Studies, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Background: Given India's high patient load on the existing healthcare setup, as well as political, social, and organizational challenges, the nursing sector is facing various problems, therefore leading to substandard nursing experiences leading to poor patient care at the parallel healthcare setups, specifically homecare. This paper presents self-managed organizations (SMOs) characterized by a horizontal management structure as an effective alternative to existing hierarchical management structures overladen with bureaucracy. Therefore, we are exploring the strategies at self-managed homecare organizations that can make nursing a better and more productive experience.

The study examined the insightfulness of mothers who experienced Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA). Based on attachment theory, we hypothesized that mothers who experienced CSA will be less insightful than those who did not experience CSA, and that state of mind with no marked signs of lack of resolution of the trauma can buffer against its negative effects. The insightfulness of 30 mothers who experienced CSA and 30 demographically matched mothers but with no CSA was assessed using the Insightfulness Assessment.
