AI Article Synopsis
- - The study explored how a new trauma-informed care (TIC) model was implemented in a residential treatment center for young adults with substance use disorders (SUD) in Australia, evaluating its feasibility and impact on treatment outcomes.
- - Results showed that the TIC model was followed about 88% of the time, with nearly half of the clients completing the full treatment program, and significant reductions in substance use and improvements in mental health measures like depression and PTSD symptoms after three months.
- - Feedback from staff indicated that they felt capable and knowledgeable in delivering the TIC model, maintaining high professional quality of life throughout the study, which suggests that TIC is a promising approach for enhancing treatment effectiveness in residential settings.
Article Abstract
Introduction: History of trauma and PTSD are both common among individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) and associated with poorer SUD treatment retention and outcomes. Recommended trauma-informed care (TIC) approaches in SUD treatment have been underutilized in residential substance use treatment services.
Methods: This study conducted a single-armed, phase 1 feasibility and outcomes trial for a novel TIC model developed and delivered in a young adult (18-35 years) residential substance use treatment service in Australia. Measures of client acceptability, staff acceptability, and treatment fidelity assessed feasibility. The study collected client substance use (global substance use and alcohol, methamphetamine, and cannabis use involvement) and mental health outcomes (depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms) at service entry, and 3, 6, and 12 months later. Staff professional quality of life, and perceptions and confidence in delivering TIC were collected at baseline (prior to staff training in TIC), and at 3, 6, 12 and 18 months following training in the model.
Results: The program was delivered as per the TIC model approximately 88 % of the time, where 48 % of clients completed the full 6-week treatment program. Mixed effect models showed significant reductions in substance involvement, particularly for substance use at 3 months (d = 0.67). Improvements in depression, anxiety, and PTSD were also found (ps < .01). Staff levels of support and self-efficacy to implement TIC remained high over the duration of the evaluation, and trauma knowledge scores were higher at follow-up time points. Staff professional quality of life also remained high across the study.
Conclusion: The novel TIC model was acceptable for residential clients and staff and was associated with improved mental and substance use outcomes. These findings support TIC as feasible in residential service, with likely benefits for staff and clients.
Ethics: The study received ethical approval by the University of Queensland (Approval number: 2020000949).
Trial Registration Number: ACTRN12621000492853.

Introduction: Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) has significant advantages over indwelling catheters. To facilitate CIC, a continent catheterizable channel (CCC) to the bladder is required in some cases. The Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy (APV) is considered the gold standard for pediatric CCC creation.

Background: Immuno-chemotherapy has demonstrated significant anti-tumor effects in patients with resectable nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Additionally, for patients initially diagnosed with unresectable stage III NSCLC, induction immuno-chemotherapy may achieve tumor downstaging, enabling conversion to resectable disease allowing for by R0 resection. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of induction immuno-chemotherapy followed by conversion surgery in unresectable stage III NSCLC.

Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of three internal fixation methods, namely hollow screw combined with Kirschner wire tension band, hollow screw combined with anchor nail, and modified 1/3 tubular steel plate, in the treatment of avulsion fracture of tibial tubercle (AFTT) in adolescents.
Methods: Between January 2018 and September 2023, 19 adolescent AFTT patients who met the selection criteria were admitted. According to different internal fixation methods, patients were divided into group A (8 cases, hollow screw combined with Kirschner wire tension band), group B (6 cases, hollow screw combined with anchor nail), and group C (5 cases, modified 1/3 tubular steel plate).

Objective: To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of suture anchor double-pulley technique combined with suture three-dimensional binding via bone tunnel technique for avulsion fractures of the inferior pole of the patella.
Methods: A clinical data of 38 patients with avulsion fractures of the inferior pole of the patella, who met the selective criteria and were admitted between September 2021 and April 2023, was retrospectively analyzed. The fractures were treated with suture anchor double-pulley technique combined with suture three-dimensional binding via bone tunnel technique in 18 cases (group A) and steel wire tension-band fixation in 20 cases (group B).
