The present study shows that feeding a diet containing adequate levels of antioxidants, such as vitamin E and selenium, and Tenebrio molitor larvae meal as a protein component neither causes oxidative stress nor activates oxidative stress-sensitive signalling pathways in key metabolic tissues of growing pigs. Based on these observations, IM from Tenebrio molitor larvae can be regarded as a safe source of protein in growing pigs. We aimed to describe pain, use of analgesics and quality of life (QoL) in people with dementia admitted to a Norwegian nursing home (NH), and to explore if and how pain was associated with their QoL when adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, other health conditions and use of analgesics. A total of 953 Norwegian NH residents with dementia (mean age 84.0, SD 7.5 years, 35.8% men) were included at admission to the NH. Pain and QoL were assessed using the Mobilization-Observation-Behavior-Intensity-Dementia-2 (MOBID-2) Pain Scale and the Quality of Life in Late-Stage Dementia (QUALID) scale, respectively. Severity of dementia, personal level of activities of daily living, general medical health, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and the use of psychotropic drugs and analgesics were assessed. In total, 36% of the participants had clinically relevant pain intensity (MOBID-2 ≥ 3) and 52% received analgesics. Paracetamol was most frequently prescribed (45%). In an adjusted linear mixed model, more severe palikely increased QoL.Understanding possible barriers and facilitators to effective implementation of evidence-based interventions to help high-risk youth prevent and manage HIV is crucial for their scale-up. This manuscript analyzes qualitative interview data collected during the early phase implementation of a motivational interviewing (MI) based intervention at 10 HIV care clinics in the United States providing services to youth. Using the Exploration-Preparation-Implementation-Sustainment (EPIS) framework to understand the implementation and the dynamic adaptation process (DAP) model to balance notions of intervention fidelity and flexibility, providers and stakeholders at each site (N = 97) were interviewed prior to implementation to gather their perspectives on organizational readiness for the intervention, as well as provider and client characteristics. The interviewers summarized their experience with rapid feedback forms (RFFs). Data extracted from the RFFs highlighted anticipated barriers to and facilitators of the proposed MI-based intervention, with the EPIS framework used to organize these findings. Study findings illustrate the inner and outer contextual factors that affect implementation and denote the points at which the MI-based intervention may be tailored to fit the unique context of a clinic while remaining faithful to the intervention's original design.The current study aimed to explore sleep habits, maternal psychological symptoms, and other risk factors in children with childhood masturbation (CM). The study was conducted with 80 children with CM and 44 children as a control group. Sleep habits were assessed with the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire and mothers' psychiatric symptoms were screened using the Symptom Checklist-90. In the CM group, sleeping in the same room with parents, history of unplanned pregnancy, and not playing with the child every day were more common than in the control group. Sleep problems (in particular, night waking) are associated with increased incidence of CM. The simple act of parents playing with their children every day may protect against children engaging in CM. Maternal psychiatric symptoms were more common among children with CM than in the control group. By expanding our knowledge about potential risk factors associated with CM, clinicians can distinguish between desirable and undesirable behavior and intervene in pathological cases.

However, the contribution of schizophrenia to violence is heavily debated and remains unclear. The purpose of the current phenomenological study was to explore experiences of violence among individuals with schizophrenia (N = 40, mean age = 35.6 years) in West Java, Indonesia. A purposive sampling method was used to select participants from main referral hospitals. Focus group discussions were held, revealing two main themes-victimization by nurses and victimization by family-and eight sub-themes. Sub-themes for victimization by nurses included physical violence, verbal violence, restraint, neglected basic human needs, and no informed consent. Sub-themes for victimization by family were physical violence, verbal violence, and deception. Patients with schizophrenia have the same rights as all other patients, including the right to dignified treatment, the right to informed consent, and the right to patient safety. [Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, xx(x), xx-xx.].The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has influenced daily life in many ways, with significant effects on mental health and coping. Psychiatric nurses can leverage their expertise in supporting adaptive coping among individuals affected by the stressors of the pandemic. Literature related to common mental health stressors of the COVID-19 pandemic can guide nurses seeking to support clients. The current article uses the Roy Adaptation Model and a review of the literature to provide a framework for nurses to intervene and promote improved mental health across all settings. The role of nursing in promoting adaptation to COVID-19 mental health stressors is essential during and after the pandemic.
