Sensory Processing and Anxiety: Within and Beyond the Autism Spectrum.

In this article, we briefly overview how the expression, measurement, and treatment of anxiety in autism may be different from the general population. We review the literature on links between sensory processing differences and anxiety, which show transdiagnostic patterns but are an especially prominent feature of anxiety in autism. Specifically, we focus on how the sense of interoception, i.

Longitudinal Associations Between Psychological Resilience and Cognitive Function:Evidence from the U.S. Health and Retirement Study.

Objective: Reductions in psychological resilience and declining cognition are common among older adults. Understanding the longitudinal association between them could be beneficial for interventions that focus on age-related cognitive and psychological health. In this study, we evaluated the longitudinal associations between cognition and psychological resilience over time in a nationally representative sample of US older adults.

Original Research: Is Your Outpatient Office Prepared to Manage an Opioid Overdose?

Background: Outpatient facilities, such as family and adult practice offices, psychiatric offices, and substance use treatment centers, should be equipped to manage medical emergencies and facilitate hospital transfers. Clinics that treat patients with opioid use disorder must be especially prepared to address respiratory arrest due to opioid overdose.

Purpose: The objective of this integrative review was to identify emergency response initiatives already investigated or developed that could be adapted to address opioid-related medical emergencies in the outpatient adult treatment setting.

Navigating the Life-Limiting Illness Journey: A Mixed-Method Systematic Review of Advance Care Planning Experiences Among Healthcare Providers, Patients and Family.

Background: Advance care planning (ACP) enables individuals with life-limiting illnesses to make decisions regarding future healthcare. It involves patients, families and healthcare providers in discussions on treatment preferences and end-of-life care. Understanding their experiences is key to improving ACP practice.

Using the Four Ps of telehealth framework to enhance Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Telehealth Curriculum.

Background: Telehealth is now a necessary component of health care delivery, and its use among health care professionals was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Problem: Nurse practitioner (NP) programs generally incorporate telehealth competencies within their curriculum, preparing NPs to effectively deliver telehealth and improve health outcomes.

Approach: We developed and implemented a telehealth blueprint to enhance telehealth content within our clinical Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program guided by the Four Ps of the Telehealth Framework planning, preparing, providing, and performance evaluation.

Dopamine dynamics in chronic pain: music-induced, sex-dependent, behavioral effects in mice.

Introduction: Chronic pain is a debilitating disease that is usually comorbid to anxiety and depression. Current treatment approaches mainly rely on analgesics but often neglect emotional aspects. Nonpharmacological interventions, such as listening to music, have been incorporated into clinics to provide a more comprehensive management of chronic pain.

More than the passage of time: neonatal health and active labor duration, the mediating role of chorioamnionitis.

Background: Labor intervention is intended to prevent perinatal morbidity and mortality. Labor durations traditionally defined as 'dystocia' drive primary cesarean birth rates, yet there is mixed evidence about the association between labor duration and poor neonatal outcomes. Using latent class analysis to study unknown patterns of neonatal health can refine understanding of these relationships and effect of labor duration on newborn outcomes.

The evolution of a quality improvement curriculum in a family nurse practitioner residency program.

There is a wide variation in the curricular emphasis and implementation nationally across programs for teaching quality improvement (QI) in family nurse practitioner (FNP) programs. This variation among curriculum plans often leaves NP graduates unsure as to how to identify and effect change within their organizations. This manuscript describes the development of an initial QI curriculum and subsequent enhancements over a 3-year time frame and outlines the curriculum development process, implementation, and program outcomes within an FNP residency program.
