Given the challenging circumstances of aging with disability, family caregivers (FGs) face significant strain. Resilience, however, is a crucial protective factor against adverse caregiving outcomes. The study thus aimed to determine the latent classes of resilience among FGs and examine how these classes are related to care burden and psychological distress. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study that included 248 FGs in China. Latent class analysis was conducted to determine the classes of resilience exhibited by FGs. The study revealed four distinct classes of resilience: the high resilience class, high tenacity but moderate strength-optimism class, moderate resilience but low autonomy class, and low resilience class. FGs with secondary caregivers and those who were older were more likely to be part of the high resilience class. Furthermore, caregivers in the high resilience class had significantly lower burdens, less psychological distress, and greater resilience. Therefore, family caregivers' resilience can be classified according to characteristics; more attention should be given to caregivers who are younger and lack the support of secondary caregivers; and targeted interventions should be developed based on resilience classification characteristics.

Myelofibrosis (MF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm that is accompanied by driver JAK2, CALR, or MPL mutations in more than 90% of cases, leading to constitutive activation of the JAK-STAT pathway. MF is a multifaceted disease characterized by trilineage myeloid proliferation with prominent megakaryocyte atypia and bone marrow fibrosis, as well as splenomegaly, constitutional symptoms, ineffective erythropoiesis, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and a risk of leukemic progression and shortened survival. Therapy can range from observation alone in lower-risk and asymptomatic patients to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which is the only potentially curative treatment capable of prolonging survival, although burdened by significant morbidity and mortality.

This complexity is difficult to conceptualize because the nature of environmental change is often highly context specific. A mechanism-guided approach may help to shape intuition and predictions about complexity; fitness challenges posed by co-occurring stressors with similar mechanisms of action may be less severe than for those with different mechanisms of action.

Art-based practices have been expected and incorporated into adolescent mental health education, enhanced by their potential to promote positive psychosocial development and foster resilience. Elite athletes, while encountering similar challenges as adolescents-such as reluctance to seek psychological support-occupy a distinctive position due to their capacity to exert substantial influence on youth. This paper presents the development and conceptualization of a novel, elite athlete-led mental health education framework that employs artistic expression as a core modality.

Background: At school, students need to learn to collaborate with others to achieve common objectives. However, we are lacking insights into how students determine preferred collaboration partners, while multiple plausible factors, such as similar goal orientations, can be derived from the literature.
Aims: We examined whether students prefer teammates in physical education based on similar achievement goals, stronger degrees of goal orientation, the same gender, and friendship.
