Weighted Blankets for Agitation in Hospitalized Patients with Dementia: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Weighted Blankets for Agitation in Hospitalized Patients with Dementia: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Agitated behaviors are often disruptive and difficult to manage, and are associated with increased caregiver burden and burnout, increased hospitalizations, and elevated health care costs [1,3]. Agitation includes a range of behaviors, including restlessness, pacing, physical aggression, and verbal agitation [4]. Nonpharmacologic strategies are the first line in the prevention and treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia, including agitation. Limited pharmacologic options exist in this setting.

Understanding “Alert Fatigue” in Primary Care: Qualitative Systematic Review of General Practitioners Attitudes and Experiences of Clinical Alerts, Prompts, and Reminders

Understanding “Alert Fatigue” in Primary Care: Qualitative Systematic Review of General Practitioners Attitudes and Experiences of Clinical Alerts, Prompts, and Reminders

These guidelines are promoted and supported in high-income countries through a range of clinical reminders (CRs) that are presented to general practitioners (GPs) via their clinical management systems and consist of “alerts” that remind them of the consequences of making a certain decision, and “prompts” that remind the user to perform a task that promotes desirable clinical behaviors [5-10].

Enhancing HIV Cognitive Abilities and Self-Management Through Information Technology–Assisted Interventions: Scoping Review

Enhancing HIV Cognitive Abilities and Self-Management Through Information Technology–Assisted Interventions: Scoping Review

Research indicates that reinforcing self-management behaviors and enhancing disease awareness can lead to better treatment adherence, alleviate the burden of disease symptoms, and enable individuals to coexist more effectively with HIV [5,6]. Therefore, strengthening the self-management behaviors and disease awareness of people living with HIV becomes a crucial aspect of improving the quality of life for patients and reducing negative experiences associated with HIV.

Web-Based Parent Training With Telephone Coaching Aimed at Treating Child Disruptive Behaviors in a Clinical Setting During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Single-Group Study With 2-Year Follow-Up

Web-Based Parent Training With Telephone Coaching Aimed at Treating Child Disruptive Behaviors in a Clinical Setting During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Single-Group Study With 2-Year Follow-Up

There is growing evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that parents can be trained to intervene and reduce child disruptive behaviors and improve their parenting skills [1-3]. Parent training has been found to be the most effective way to prevent and treat disruptive behaviors (patterns of, eg, defiant, disobedient, hostile, and externalizing behavior) among children [4-6] and is considered one of the most-validated therapeutic techniques in child mental health [7].

Using Artificial Intelligence to Detect Risk of Family Violence: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Using Artificial Intelligence to Detect Risk of Family Violence: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Family violence is a major public health problem and can include behaviors such as physical, sexual, and verbal abuse; coercive control; and emotional, spiritual, religious, and financial abuse perpetrated by 1 adult partner to another. Definitions of family violence vary in the research literature, which has implications for reported rates of family violence and, importantly, policy [1].

Drug Use Behaviors and the Risk of HIV Infection Among Drug Users in China Between 2014 and 2021: Cross-Sectional Study

Drug Use Behaviors and the Risk of HIV Infection Among Drug Users in China Between 2014 and 2021: Cross-Sectional Study

Traceability studies on the transmission of HIV/AIDS have found that the paths of HIV infection and transmission among users of new types of drugs are mostly high-risk sexual behaviors after drug use [12]. With the change in usage from traditional to new types of drugs, sexual behaviors after drug use significantly affected the HIV infection rate by increasing the unsafe sexual practices [13-15]. HIV is mainly transmitted through blood, sexual contact, and mother-to-child transmission.

Identifying Population Segments by Differing Levels of COVID-19 Vaccine Confidence and Evaluating Subsequent Uptake of COVID-19 Prevention Behaviors: Web-Based, Longitudinal, Probability-Based Panel Survey

Identifying Population Segments by Differing Levels of COVID-19 Vaccine Confidence and Evaluating Subsequent Uptake of COVID-19 Prevention Behaviors: Web-Based, Longitudinal, Probability-Based Panel Survey

Wagner et al [13] also validated their segmentation results with data on COVID-19 prevention behaviors among study respondents, which were collected at a 1-year follow-up. The authors found that members of the vaccine-confident segment were more likely than those in other segments to have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and to have engaged in other COVID-19 prevention behaviors at follow-up.

Evaluating a Mobile App Supporting Evidence-Based Parenting Skills: Thematic Analysis of Parent Experience

Evaluating a Mobile App Supporting Evidence-Based Parenting Skills: Thematic Analysis of Parent Experience

No digital microintervention has previously been used to guide parents through evidence-based skills in the moment when children are displaying disruptive behaviors. In this paper, we aimed to evaluate the subjective experience of parents using a digital microintervention to support evidence-based parenting skills, with particular attention to acceptability, usability, family relationships, and parents’ values.
