Objectives: To investigate the effect of Benson relaxation response technique (BRRT) on the quality of life (QOL) among patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE).
Methodology: A quasi-experimental design was used to conveniently recruit 170 patients with SLE. Participants were divided into two groups, the control and the intervention group for which the BRRT intervention was administered. Utilising an online questionnaire, the QOL was assessed among the two groups, before and 2 months after the intervention, using the Arabic version of the short form 36-item health survey.
Results: After 2 months of the intervention, the intervention group exhibited significantly higher levels in both components of QOL; physical ((143.31)=15.35, p<0.001); and mental component ((143.58)=12.35, p<0.001). Additionally, for the intervention group, the results revealed a statistically significant increase in the levels of both components from baseline measurement; physical ((84)=-16.24, p<0.001) and mental component ((84)=-12.93, p<0.001).
Conclusion: The findings demonstrate a notable positive impact of BRRT on QOL among patients with SLE. Healthcare professionals can potentially improve the overall well-being of patients with SLE and complement traditional treatment by implementing BRRT into their care.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of dynamic-static combined relaxation therapy on fatigue and sleep disorders in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods: A total of 114 patients receiving chemotherapy at Tangshan People's Hospital (September 2023-June 2024) were randomly divided into three groups: control (routine nursing), experiment group 1 (static Benson relaxation), and experiment group 2 (dynamic yoga + static Benson relaxation). The intervention lasted 8 weeks.
A Functional Response in Resource Selection Links Multiscale Responses of a Large Carnivore to Human Mortality Risk.

Theory suggests that animals make hierarchical, multiscale resource selection decisions to address the hierarchy of factors limiting their fitness. Ecologists have developed tools to link population-level resource selection across scales; yet, theoretical expectations about the relationship between coarse- and fine-scale selection decisions at the individual level remain elusive despite their importance to fitness. With GPS-telemetry data collected across California, USA, we evaluated resource selection of mountain lions (Puma concolor; n = 244) relative to spatial variation in human-caused mortality risk.

Background: Anxiety and delirium are prevalent complications in cardiac patients undergoing invasive procedures like coronary artery bypass surgery, with untreated symptoms potentially leading to enduring physical and psychological consequences. Benson's relaxation technique, a method of attention focusing, has demonstrated efficacy in alleviating various symptoms, although findings are conflicting. Thus, this study aimed to assess the influence of Benson's relaxation on anxiety and delirium severity in open-heart surgery candidates.

Background/objectives: Insomnia is a frequent and distressing symptom with limited treatment in patients with cancer. Among the available treatments for insomnia, psychological interventions are some of the most assessed. While studies and reviews show promise of interventions improving insomnia in patients with cancer, inconsistent approaches to operationalizing and measuring insomnia combined with the heterogeneity of available treatments render comparisons and synthetization difficult.
