Background: The present study investigates the effect of resilience training in improving the ability to cope with stress and hope of mothers with cancer children.
Methods: In this interventional study, 70 mothers parenting children with cancer were selected as available and randomly classified into the control and experimental groups. The mothers of the two groups completed the parenting stress and hope questionnaire. In the test group, nine sessions of resilience training were held by the researcher for 60 min. One month after the intervention, they were again asked to complete the parenting stress and hope questionnaires. Moreover, in the control group, the mothers completed the parenting stress and hope questionnaires again 2 months later without any intervention.
Result: The difference between the average scores of hope and parental stress showed that the mean score of hope in the intervention and control groups increased by about 5.45 and 2.74 units, and the hope variable was improved in both groups. The mean score of parental stress in the intervention group decreased by 39.62 units. However, in the control group, it increased by 2.45 units, and parental stress in this group declined.
Conclusion: Resilience training significantly reduced the level of parental stress and increased the level of hope in the mothers of the test group. Therefore, it is recommended to use resilience in reducing the level of parental stress and increasing the hope level of mothers with children with cancer.

Dentistry and nursing students experience significant anxiety, negatively impacting their well-being and academic performance. This study aims to assess the prevalence and relationships of stress, anxiety, depression, resilience, hope, and spiritual well-being among dentistry and nursing students, identify demographic influences and propose strategies to enhance resilience and well-being. This study surveyed 271 students attending Greece's departments of dentistry and nursing at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, using an electronic questionnaire aimed to assess stress, anxiety, and depression (depression, anxiety, stress scale-DASS-21); resilience (resilience assessment questionnaire-RAQ8, brief resilience scale-BRS); hope (adult hope scale-AHS); and spiritual well-being (functional assessment of chronic illness therapy-spiritual well-being scale-FACIT-Sp-12).

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a medically complex, multifaceted gynecological condition associated with psychological comorbidities and sexual trauma among women. Low rates of positive treatment outcomes underscore the need to better understand complex relationships between CPP, trauma exposure, and the psychosocial context of patients' lives. We conducted a secondary analysis of English and Spanish qualitative interviews with female-identity patients (N = 48) about CPP's impact on psychosocial well-being.

Objective: Loss of functional β-cell mass is a major cause of diabetes. Thus, identifying regulators of β-cell health is crucial for treating this disease. The In this study, we assessed the regulation of Lgr4 in islets, and the role of LGR4 and LGR4/RANK stoichiometry in β-cell health under basal and stress-induced conditions, in vitro and in vivo.

Exposing women to intimate partner violence (IPV) poses a risk to their physical and mental health, necessitating that they leave the relationship. However, women face various obstacles in doing so, such as cognitive distortions that affect their interpretation of the reality of violence, trapping them and significantly influencing their decision to leave. This scoping review explores, synthesizes, and analyzes the available evidence on the relationship between cognitive distortions and decision-making among women involved in IPV.

Context: The impact of forced migration on the mental health of refugee men is far-reaching and compounded by gendered masculinity, which shapes men's access to employment and other resources. A gap in knowledge exists on the broader determinants of refugee men's mental health.
Methodology: Using community-based participatory action research and the arts-based method of photovoice, this study advances knowledge about the gendered impacts of forced migration from the perspective of ( = 11) Syrian refugee men in the Canadian context.
