Enhancing nursing students' communication skills with deaf patients: Workshop impact on nursing education programs.

Background: Nursing students require education on effective communication with patients to fulfill their roles as future healthcare providers. Ensuring inclusive patient care requires addressing this educational gap.

Purpose: This study assesses the impact of workshops on nursing students' communication strategies with Deaf and hard-of-hearing patients.

The relationship between departmental culture and resuscitation-related moral distress among inpatient medical departments physicians and nurses.

Background: While moral distress frequency and intensity have been reported among clinicians around the world, resuscitations have not been well documented as its source.

Objectives: to examine the relationship between intensity and frequency of resuscitation- related moral distress and departmental culture among nurses and physicians working in inpatient medical departments.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional, prospective study of medical inpatient department staff from three hospitals.

Emotion regulation and disordered eating behaviour in youths: Two daily-diary studies.

Objective: Disordered eating cognitions and behaviours in childhood and adolescence have been identified as precursors for the development of eating disorders. Another important contributor to eating disorder risk is maladaptive emotion regulation. However, while the regulation of negative affect has been the focus of much research, the literature on the role of positive emotion regulation in eating pathology is extremely limited.

Client-therapist temporal congruence in perceiving immediate therapist self-disclosure and its association with treatment outcome.

Immediate therapist self-disclosure (Im-TSD) can be a powerful intervention. When engaged in judiciously, it can provide clients with a unique opportunity to explore their interpersonal relationship in real time. Relational theories suggest that for Im-TSD to be effective, both client and therapist must have temporally congruent perceptions of its occurrence.

Patients' attitudes toward conventional and herbal treatments for depression and anxiety: A cross-sectional Israeli survey.

Background: As many patients view conventional antidepressants and anxiolytics negatively, it is not surprising that the willingness to apply these treatments is far from ideal, thus posing a critical barrier in promoting an effective and durable treatment.

Aim: The present study aimed to explore patients' attitudes toward conventional and herbal treatments for depression and anxiety, while considering cultural and demographic factors, to further elucidate the antecedes that putatively determine the treatment's outcome.

Methods: During June 2017, a cross-sectional survey was conducted using stratified sampling from a large-scale Israeli volunteer online panel.

When to disclose and to whom? examining within- and between-client moderators of therapist self disclosure-outcome associations in psychodynamic psychotherapy.

While previous studies have indicated that therapists' self-disclosure (TSD) can have curative effects, the contextual variables that may moderate the link between TSD and treatment outcome have not been sufficiently explored. Using session-by-session psychotherapy data, we examined the extent to which within-client distress and between-clients emotion regulation difficulties moderated the associations between TSD and session outcomes. The sample comprised 68 clients treated according to the principles of psychodynamic psychotherapy by 47 therapists in a university clinic.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders and injuries among emergency medical technicians and paramedics: A comprehensive narrative review.

The aim of this article was to review the current knowledge relating to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMDs) and non-fatal injuries in emergency medical technicians and paramedics (EMTs-Ps). A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Clinical Key. The annual prevalence of back pain ranged from 30% to 66%, and back injuries and contusions from 4% to 43%.

Cerebral MAO Activity Is Not Altered by a Novel Herbal Antidepressant Treatment.

Inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A/B can ameliorate depressive- and anxiety-related symptoms via increase of monoamine extracellular levels. However, such inhibition can also instigate hypertensive response following exposure to dietary tyramine (i.e.

The Unpredictable Chronic Mild Stress Protocol for Inducing Anhedonia in Mice.

Depression is a highly prevalent and debilitating condition, only partially addressed by current pharmacotherapies. The lack of response to treatment by many patients prompts the need to develop new therapeutic alternatives and to better understand the etiology of the disorder. Pre-clinical models with translational merits are rudimentary for this task.

GABA Receptor Density Is Not Altered by a Novel Herbal Anxiolytic Treatment.

Anxiety disorders are highly prevalent and considered a major public health concern worldwide. Current anxiolytics are of limited efficacy and associated with various side effects. Our novel herbal treatment (NHT), composed of four constituents, was shown to reduce anxiety-like behavior while precluding a common side effect caused by current anxiolytics, i.

Cannabinoids prevent depressive-like symptoms and alterations in BDNF expression in a rat model of PTSD.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating condition highly comorbid with depression. The endocannabinoid (eCB) system and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are suggestively involved in both disorders. We examined whether cannabinoids can prevent the long-term depressive-like symptoms induced by exposure to the shock and situational reminders (SRs) model of PTSD.

Escitalopram and NHT normalized stress-induced anhedonia and molecular neuroadaptations in a mouse model of depression.

Anhedonia is defined as a diminished ability to obtain pleasure from otherwise positive stimuli. Anxiety and mood disorders have been previously associated with dysregulation of the reward system, with anhedonia as a core element of major depressive disorder (MDD). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether stress-induced anhedonia could be prevented by treatments with escitalopram or novel herbal treatment (NHT) in an animal model of depression.

Neuroplasticity-related mechanisms underlying the antidepressant-like effects of traditional herbal medicines.

Traditional herbal medicine can offer efficacious and safe alternative pharmacotherapies for depression. The ability of an herbal medicine to produce neuroadaptive processes, that enhance neuroplasticity and cellular resilience in response to chronic stress, may point to its antidepressant potential. We suggest that among many investigated herbal medicines, those that can enhance neuroplasticity may have stronger therapeutic potential.
