From Exile to Belonging: The [re]construction of Identity in the Context of Forced Migration

Focusing on Syrian and Afghan refugees and asylum seekers in Spain and Greece, this study employs social identity theory and intergroup contact theory to examine the process of identity construction. Drawing from thirty-five semi-structured interviews, the study highlights how the positive distinctiveness of their homeland and community significantly shapes their sense of self-worth, despite having fled due to persecution. The study finds that Afghan and Syrian refugees alike demonstrate a close attachment to their natural heritage, while also assigning particular importance to the historical and cultural legacies of their native lands. This sense of homeland identity interlaces with a multifaceted self-representation, mirroring the intricate ties between the host and homeland. Three identity discourse patterns appear: persecuted identity, identity conciliation, and critical consciousness. The refugees' dual perception of their homeland, as both a failed and desired land, influences their perceived self-worth in interpersonal interactions, as well as their sense of integration within the host society.

Downward Intergenerational Support and Well-Being in Older Chinese Adults

Life satisfaction, as an important indicator of subjective well-being, is crucial for older adults. This study aims to examine the effects of downward intergenerational financial and practical support on life satisfaction among older adults in China, while exploring the mediating role of self-esteem and the potential differences across gender. Data were collected from 507 older adults aged 60 and above in China. The findings indicate that both financial and practical support provided by older adults positively predict their life satisfaction. Mediation analysis reveals that self-esteem partially mediates the relationship between downward intergenerational support and life satisfaction. This suggests that helping their children enhances older adults’ sense of self-worth, which in turn improves their overall well-being. Gender differences were also observed: financial support had a stronger impact on life satisfaction for men, while practical support was more significant for women. These results highlight the influence of traditional gender roles and cultural expectations on the dynamics of intergenerational support in contemporary Chinese families.

Legal Framework for Security of Organ Transplant Information in the Digital Age with Biotechnology

In the context of the digital age, organ transplantation, as a life-saving technology, has become increasingly prominent in its information security. This paper aims to explore and construct a legal framework for organ transplant information security that meets the requirements of the digital age. First, the article outlines the legal background of organ transplantation and its new challenges in the digital age, emphasizing the centrality of information security in the organ transplantation process. The article then elaborates on the legal definitions and classifications of organs and discusses how digital technologies are changing these definitions and classifications. In the same way, the study of how people think about organ donation and transplantation used non-parametric tests, analysis of variance, and logistic regression to determine how people think about these things differently in different groups. Dichotomous logistic regression models were also created. This paper examines the current legal frameworks that protect organ transplant information in the digital age. The focus is on how biotechnology is linked to data privacy, security measures, and ethical concerns. This shows the importance of a complete regulatory framework to protect individuals' health information about organ transplants. This paper's research goal is to make a stronger legal guarantee for organ transplant information security. This will help organ transplantation technology grow healthily, protect the rights and interests of donors and recipients, and keep people's sense of dignity.

STUDY OF THE IMPORTANCE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ATTITUDE IN THE PROCESS OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION

The presented article discusses the psychological aspects of the process of inclusive education. In order for children with special educational needs to easily adapt to the environment and learn successfully, individual work and differential education methods gave pedagogical results, but their impact was weak and unstable through cases from real practice. In order to increase and stabilize the effectiveness of these methods, there was a need to use the theory of psychological attitudes. For this purpose, the assumption was made and the importance of ensuring the success of a student in the framework of the theory of psychological relations was substantiated. A positive self-assessment, which is based on a sense of self-worth, ensures the formation of a degree of independence of the student, which not only increases the success of his studies at school, but also serves as a guarantee of his life success. The end result is a long-term strategic orientation of the theory of psychological attitudes, which is focused on the maximum disclosure of the student's self-identity. The relevance of the space-time continuum of the theory of relativity (St), founded by A. Einstein in the period of quantum leaps and bounds, as it is today, is extremely high. Especially its importance increases many times in the process of inclusive education. The article presents a methodology for using the theory of psychological attitudes to establish the relationship between the child's cognition and behavior of the SED on the basis of previously studied situations. As a result of the purposeful laying of the theory of psychological attitude to the foundations of the educational space of an educational organization, the student's confidence in the context of their own characteristics and the improvement of their relationship with reality increases. Being the main approach here – "focus", it covers 4 zones: the current situation – the state of the student of the SED; the influence of space, that is, medium and time on it; the child's own attitude to the SED to the situation, as well as the degree of professional-specialized analysis of the situation.

Complication of Grief and PTSD among bereaved siblings in Israel

This study explores the experiences of bereaved siblings in Israel, examining how different causes of death affect their psychological well-being. We recruited three groups of siblings who lost loved ones as a result of military service, terrorism, or civilian circumstances. A total of 159 bereaved siblings completed questionnaires measuring complications of grief (CG), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and world assumptions. Results indicated that siblings who experienced civilian loss exhibited the highest prevalence of CG, while no significant differences in PTSD levels were observed across the groups. Both CG and PTSD were associated with the world assumptions regarding the benevolence of the world and sense of self-worth. The study also examined how demographic variables influence siblings’ well-being and coping with loss. Overall, the findings emphasize the importance of recognizing the unique experiences of bereaved siblings and underscore the necessity of tailored support to address their individualized needs.

The association of compassion with dignity and symptoms in end-of-life cancer patients.

Compassion is essential in palliative care; however, there is a lack of evidence of the association between this construct and patients' dignity-related distress. The present study aimed to investigate the association between end-of-life cancer patients' sense of dignity, the level of compassion of the healthcare professionals (HCPs) noticed and perceived by the patients, and levels of compassion that HCPs felt they had toward patients, investigating through specific attitudes and behaviors. Furthermore, the relationship between compassion and patients' physical and psychological symptoms, such as levels of anxiety and depression, was also investigated. The study was cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 105 end-of-life cancer patients and 40 HCPs. Patients had a Karnofsky Performance Status of 50 or lower and a life expectancy of less than 4 months. For each patient, sociodemographic data were collected, and a set of rating scales assessing compassion, dignity as well as physical and psychological symptoms were administered. The results showed significant negative associations between patients' perception of compassion and dignity-related distress as well as significant negative associations between patients' perception of compassion and patients' symptoms. Compassion seems to be involved in diminishing dignity-related distress and alleviating physical and psychological symptoms. Other studies are needed to understand whether patients' symptoms or whether specific HCPs' conditions influence compassion. Exploring compassion and at the end-of-life could encourage a dignity-conserving care.

Patient-to-patient value co-creation in online health communities: a systematic literature review and research agenda

Purpose The idea of value co-creation involves the benefit actors gain from integrating resources through activities and interactions within a service network, with the environment enabling high-quality collaboration. This paradigm highlights customers’ ability to co-create value with service providers and other customers. This idea is gaining traction in health care. These days, patients are no longer passive recipients of health-care services; rather they have started taking proactive roles in their self-health management. This study aims to understand the phenomenon of value co-creation among patients within online health communities (OHCs). Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review of papers published from 2003 to 2024 in Web of Science-indexed journals was conducted. The review highlights theories, contexts, characteristics and methodologies in this area, synthesizing insights from previous research and presenting a future research agenda for underexplored and unexplored contexts using emerging theoretical perspectives and analytical methodologies. Findings The review illuminates theoretical and empirical studies on value co-creation among patients in OHCs. Previous research shows that value co-creation among patients leads to cognitive, affective and physical benefits such as reduced anxiety and stress, increased assurance and self-confidence, improved quality of life, enhanced patient empowerment, acceptance of disease and treatment effectiveness and a sense of self-worth and well-being. Originality/value This review synthesizes insights from previous works and outlines a research agenda for future studies in underexplored and unexplored contexts using new theoretical perspectives and methodologies. Considering the role social media plays in an individual’s life, this work will help in deep diving into the role of such online communities in the health-care sector.

The Influence of Sports Dance on Self-esteem Among College Students

Background and Aims: College students' lives depend greatly on their sense of self-worth. It has an impact on their social interactions, emotional well-being, and academic achievement. Several issues can arise for college students, such as social pressures, anxiety related to appearance, and negative body image. These elements may damage their sense of self-worth, which subsequently impacts their general health and standard of living. Sports dance is a unique physical activity that combines artistic ability and physical prowess to positively impact college students' self-esteem. Sports dancing has also been linked to improvements in self-esteem and self-image in addition to physical health, according to earlier research. The two main goals of this study are to first compare the experimental group's self-esteem before and after they participated in sports dancing, and then to compare the experimental group's self-esteem with that of the control group. Methodology: This study included a sample of 20 third-year undergraduate students from the Dance Department, College of Art, Chongqing University of Mechanical and Electrical Technology. The samples were divided into two groups: 10 students, consisting of 5 female and 5 male students, in both the experimental and control groups. The experimental group used the sports dance training method, while the control group used the traditional teaching method. A self-designed, expert-reviewed Rosenberg's self-esteem scale was issued before and after the experiment to determine the influence of sports dance exercises on the self-esteem of the sample group. Data were analyzed using means, standard deviations, and t-tests. Result: Before engaging in sports dance training, the experimental group's mean self-esteem score was found to be 28.3, while the control group's mean score was 28.8 before receiving traditional instruction. Following the experiment, the experimental group's mean score on self-esteem increased to 35.6, while the control group's score stayed at 27.8. After taking the sports dance course, the experimental group felt more confident in themselves. The mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group. Students in the experimental group demonstrated higher levels of engagement in class during sports dance training. When given chores involving dance, they showed initiative in solving problems and made their own choices. They conversed with people more and gained self-assurance when voicing their ideas. These findings imply that sports dancing significantly and favorably raised the students' self-esteem. Conclusion: The results show that sports dance programs can help students feel better about their bodies and have higher self-esteem. Students receive timely rewards throughout the sports dance learning process, which boosts their self-esteem in the classroom and promotes greater interaction between them. By working together to create dance performances, students improve their interpersonal skills and become fully immersed in a stimulating, dynamic, and demanding learning environment. This promotes a calm and pleasurable learning environment while also helping students develop their knowledge and skills and improving their communication skills. This study provides educational institutions and schools with a workable strategy for enhancing students' mental health by introducing sports dance courses. The results also highlight sports dance's potential as a useful tool for psychological intervention. Mental health practitioners might think about introducing elements of sports dance into psychotherapy sessions to help patients feel better about themselves.

HISTORICAL MEMORY AS A MANIFESTATION OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE WORKS OF W. SAROYAN, J. HASHYAN

Armenian-American English-speaking writers often turn to historical memory aiming at maintaining national identity without forgetting the pastthis is the preserved present, the spiritual potential of the people, the continuity of the ethnos. Historical memory preserves people‘s national consciousness and selfconsciousness. Its role is especially great in such situations that threaten the nation. We frequently turn to history on how to behave in our days, and it gives us a clear answer. The most important component of identity of each nation is its historical memory. Armenian writers who spoke in foreign countries portrayed the history of their nation, their family and their humankind in order not to assimilate with foreign people, by preserving the consciousness of identity on the national level. In their works W. Saroyan, J. Hashyan emphasized the historical past, national spirit and sense of dignity as important traits that make up the basis of national identity. W. Saroyan gave importance to the unique national mentality, character, preservation of national traditions and customs. J. Hashyan focuses attention on the power of Armenians to withstand the bitterness of life, the formation of a generational reserve of national consciousness, the preservation of a strong family as a battle for the survival of the nation. On the basis of data reflecting the relationship between the Armenian and Turkish peoples of the late 19th - early 20th centuries, American Armenians presented the historical perspective of the Armenian people in their works.

Varying Beliefs in God and the Self-Concepts of Mattering and Dignity in a US Sample

The concepts of mattering and dignity have increasingly gained traction within the sociology of religion literature, as meaningful connections have been found between some measures of religiosity and these self-concept measures. Yet, questions remain regarding the connection between belief in God, religious doubts, or non-belief and the self-concept, as many prior studies presuppose religious faith or lack differentiation between different levels of belief. Using data from the 2017 Baylor Religion Survey (analytic n = 1,402), a cross-sectional and nationally representative survey of US adults administered by Gallup, we examined how current belief in God without doubts, in contrast to currently believing in God with doubts, agnosticism, and atheism, is associated with perceptions of mattering to others and a sense of dignity. Results from OLS regression analyses suggested that atheists and agnostics or those with no opinion regarding their belief in God may show slightly lower mattering scores compared to theists without doubts. By contrast, we observed that those with religious doubts or wavering faith reported slightly lower perceived dignity, yet atheists or agnostics showed no significant differences in perceived dignity with non-doubting theists. We interpret our findings in light of the existing literature and provide suggestions for future research.

Getting out and giving back: repertoires of destigmatization in the private social safety net

Abstract Receiving assistance can be stigmatizing. As the cash welfare rolls have fallen to near-historic lows, the privatization of the social safety net in many states has brought up new questions about how recipients of assistance meet their material needs without sacrificing their sense of dignity. I draw on 15 months of ethnographic observation and 44 interviews with social service recipients in two majority Black neighborhoods in Houston, Texas to explore how they destigmatize their encounters with social service providers. I find that service recipients primarily seek out organizations that will treat them with respect due to the stigma attached to receiving assistance. This stigma is both racialized and gendered, such that groups with identities congruent with negative stereotypes about welfare recipients—like Black women—see themselves at higher risk of stigmatization and therefore practice destigmatization strategies with greater frequency. I build on these findings by highlighting two repertoires of destigmatization that service recipients draw upon to access both material and symbolic resources simultaneously: getting out of their neighborhoods to receive services anonymously and giving back by volunteering at local organizations. In doing so, I highlight multiple pathways through which residents of disadvantaged neighborhoods move from stigmatization to destigmatization in the welfare system.

Cultural Heritage as Vehicle for Knowledge Delivery: A Study of Some Selected Yoruba Proverbs

Yoruba Proverbs are treasured sayings imbued with demonstrated wisdom of ages. Existing studies still need to sufficiently establish its use for nurturing self-identification and a sense of self-worth in pupils. This study examines the gap in learning and proficiency of the Nigerian indigenous languages among pupils to establish its usage for nurturing self-identification and self-worth. The sociological Hermeneutic theory is adopted to describe, explain, and interpret selected proverbs within the content usage in Yoruba. Ten data were purposively selected and subjected to stylistic and descriptive analysis. Findings revealed that proverbs are stylistically suitable to smoothen conversation and functional for knowledge delivery.

‘It's like you're almost being exposed to a flasher’ – Young people's experiences with gendered vulnerability and digital sexual harassment in Denmark

This paper explores the gendered dynamics and impacts of online and offline sexual harassment based on fieldwork among young people in Denmark. The paper argues that harm related to sexual harassment relies on the embodied duality of agency and vulnerability as the foundation for humans' sense of dignity. This argument is developed first by exploring how unwanted ‘dick pics’ confront girls with a gendered vulnerability that impacts girls' sense of dignity. Second the paper shows that boys' solicitation of girls' ‘nudes’ is related to a gendered vulnerability for both girls and boys. Finally, unwanted sexual attention that moves between the online and the offline arena is enabled by gendered values, norms and meanings related to heterosexuality.

.Sense of Self-Worth as Predictor of Learning Attitude of Senior High School Students in New Corella District, Davao Del Norte

Homeless and Hospitalized: A Case Study of Intervention to Support Collaborative Behavior and Safety

ABSTRACT For unhoused patients, hospitalization is often a potentially life-altering event that evokes distress and triggers reactive behaviors that may undermine treatment and safety. Societal stigmatization, isolation, and disempowerment act to marginalize unhoused hospital patients, impacting their autonomy, sense of self-worth, and capacity for social interaction and collaboration. This article examines the ways in which Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT) can be utilized to better understand unhoused patients’ behaviors as influenced by the relational violations and trauma they experience and suggests that relationally and culturally focused interventions are both reparative and necessary. A composite case study is employed to demonstrate the application of RCT to a behavioral and safety crisis and evidence opportunities for meaningful intervention. Implications for enhanced support of unhoused patients in hospitals are discussed, as is the need for continued research on the use of RCT to inform therapeutic intervention in acute care settings.

The Perception of Working Women on Women's Empowerment

Women’s empowerment, according to World Vision Australia can be defined as “promoting women’s sense of self-worth, their ability to determine their own choices, and their right to influence social change for themselves and others.” Organisations around the world have recognized the value women bring to the table and have made several attempts in the form of Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives in order to support and foster women’s empowerment in the workplace. While these measures are commendable, it is imperative that we look at them from the perspectives of those who are affected by them the most, i.e. women in the corporate sector. To conduct this study, a survey was circulated to 32 female participants working in the corporate sector, above the age of 20, residing in Delhi, Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, using convenient sampling methods. The findings suggest that although many respondents reported the existence of initiatives aimed at empowering women in their workplaces, a significant portion did not experience any benefits from these efforts. These findings carry significant implications that underscore the urgency for organisations to transcend superficial gestures and instead adopt comprehensive strategies that challenge long-standing norms and practices. The study emphasises the importance of genuine commitment and transformative measures as instrumental drivers in bringing about substantive change. In conclusion, this research accentuates the imperative for businesses to prioritise gender diversity in leadership roles, ensuring equal opportunities for all employees while advancing work-life balance and fostering an inclusive corporate culture.

Опыт лечения депрессивных расстройств вортиоксетином после гистерэктомии

Relevance. Antidepressants are widely used in clinical practice for neurological disorders. Vortioxetine refers to the latest generation of drugs, the appointment of which is appropriate for depressed patients after hysterectomy. Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of vortioxetine in combination with menopausal hormone therapy in correcting depressive symptoms after hysterectomy. Materials and methods. 136 patients with depressive disorder after hysterectomy (average age 44.7±1.3 years) were examined and treated, who were divided into two groups. The main group consisted of 74 (54.4%) patients who were prescribed divigel with vortioxetine in combination. The control group included 62 (45.6%) patients who used only divigel. All underwent clinical and laboratory monitoring, psychological assessment on the Hamilton Depression scale (HDRS-21). Results. In the main group according to the Hamilton scale (HDRS-21), 26 (35.1%) patients showed mild depression, 48 (64.9%) moderate depression, in the control group 20 (32.2%) and 42 (67.8%) respectively. Against the background of complex therapy, a decrease in the indicators of the mental and somatic component was revealed. After a month, 16 (21.7%) patients of the main and 22 (35.4%) of the control group complained of depression, depression, a sense of self-worth, 21 (28.3%) and 27 (43.5%) of guilt, 9 (12.1%) and 11 (17.8%) slow thinking, 25 (33.8%) and 29 (46.8%), respectively, for a decrease in motor activity. Before the start of treatment, 49 (66.2%) patients of the main and 40 (64.5%) control groups complained of headache of varying intensity, 11 (14.9%) and 8 (13.0%) of pain in the lumbar region, 17 (23.0%) and 15 (24.1%), respectively, of body aches and soreness in small joints. During the first month of treatment, pain in the lumbar region decreased, followed by headaches, and soreness in the body and joints lasted longer. Conclusions. Against the background of taking an antidepressant in the examined patients, positive dynamics of the disease was noted, both in the subjective assessment of the condition and in the objective result of psychological symptoms. Vortioxetine, which has high clinical efficacy and good tolerability, can be recommended in the treatment of depression after hysterectomy.

Associations between Illicit Drug Use, Academic Performance and Self Esteem Among College Students

Many college students place a high value on their grade-point average (GPA) as a representative of their academic performance. Due to this pressure to achieve, students often feel overwhelmed to the point where it starts affecting their mental wellbeing. Several students resort to study aids to enhance their GPA, while others rely on illicit drug use to cope with the stress. Reports have associated GPAs with a sense of self-worth, suggesting that students with low GPAs presumably have lower self-esteem. In addition, self-worth is closely associated with mental health and drug use. However, it is unknown how these factors interact. Thus, the purpose of the study is to assess the association between drug use, mental distress and GPA in relation to self-esteem. This study included 702 undergraduate college students from different universities across the United States. The anonymous survey, which was distributed online via Google Forms, assessed self-reported drug usage, and different aspects of mental distress were assessed by the Kessler Psychological Distress Scales (K10+) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The data were analyzed in SPSS, Version 28.0, using a Pearson’s correlation coeffcient. The results suggest that GPA is correlated with traits of self-esteem (p<0.01), such as self-rated mental wellbeing, feelings of worthlessness, and hopelessness. Additionally, GPA is correlated with the belief that they are able to effectively cope with troubles in their lives (p<0.01), and is negatively correlated with loss of control (p<0.05). Feelings of distress and lack of control may cause students to turn to negative coping strategies such as abusing substances such as alcohol (p<0.01), marijuana (p<0.01), cocaine (p<0.01), and illicit ADHD medication use (p<0.05), all of which were found to be negatively correlated with GPA. Our results propose a possible cyclic relationship between illicit drug use as coping mechanisms, GPA, and not only low self-worth but different aspects of mental distress. This research received no specific grant from any funding agency, commercial or not-for-profit sectors.

A Multicenter randomized comparative study of dementia nursing practice skills development programs for nurses in acute care hospitals: A Comparison of person-centered care and dementia-type-specific programs

The present multicenter randomized controlled trial explored the effectiveness of a person-centered care program (intervention group) and a dementia-type-specific program (control group) for nurses in acute-care hospitals. Seven hospitals in Prefecture A were randomly allocated to two groups (an intervention group and a control group), and a study of these groups was conducted from July 2021 to January 2022. A total of 158 participants were included in the study: 58 in the control group and 100 in the intervention group. In a comparison of assessment values immediately after the course, three months later, and six months later for both the intervention and control groups, "expertise in dementia nursing," "medical expertise in dementia, " and "confidence in nursing older people with dementia" were all significantly higher than before the course. Significant improvements in the intervention group's "knowledge of dementia" and "sense of dignity" on the ethical sensitivity scale were found immediately after the course compared to baseline, three months later, and six months later and were also significantly greater than the control group in terms of the amount of change. In the control group's "unique care tailored to cognitive function and the person," there were significant improvements in the ratings immediately after the course and three and six months after the course compared to baseline, with significantly greater amounts of change than in the intervention group. The person-centered care program for nurses led to improvements in the knowledge about dementia and awareness of the dignity of ethical sensitivity. In addition, the type of dementia program had a significant influence on medical knowledge and unique care tailored to the cognitive function and the individual patient. Further outcome evaluations of physical restraint rates as a quality of care in nursing practice are needed.

Exploring the Role of Attachment Styles, Life Scripts, and Parental Mandates in Suicidal Behavior: Implications for Prevention and Intervention

Introduction The scientific literature widely acknowledges the multitude of factors contributing to suicide, emphasizing the intricate and dynamic interplay among genetic, biological, psychological, and social dimensions (Van Heeringen, 2001). Despite this consensus, each suicide case is unique, shaped by an exclusive combination of these factors. One relatively underexplored risk factor in the realm of suicidal behavior is attachment style. As posited by attachment theorists, avoidant and anxious/insecure attachment styles may hold predictive value for suicide attempts (Sheftall et al., 2014).ObjectivesThis study undertakes a comprehensive review of the relationships between attachment styles, life scripts, parental mandates, and suicidal behavior.MethodsThis study delves into the interconnections between attachment styles, life scripts, parental mandates, and suicide, drawing from an extensive body of research and theory. A comprehensive review of existing literature was conducted to elucidate the intricate relationships among these variables and their potential influence on suicidal behavior.Results The synthesis of existing research highlights a compelling link between attachment styles, life scripts, and parental mandates. Attachment styles, formed in early life, profoundly influence an individual’s interpersonal relationships, emotional regulation, and sense of self-worth. These attachment patterns lay the foundation for the development of life scripts—internalized narratives that dictate one’s beliefs, values, and expectations regarding their life course. Parental mandates, often transmitted explicitly or implicitly during childhood, further shape these life scripts by imposing conditions or constraints on the individual’s choices and aspirations.Crucially, within this framework, suicidal behavior emerges as a possible outcome. Individuals with maladaptive attachment styles, burdened by parental mandates that discourage autonomous living or impose conditional acceptance, may perceive suicide as a way to escape perceived unmet expectations or alleviate emotional distress.ConclusionsThis study underscores the intricate interplay between attachment styles, life scripts, parental mandates, and suicidal behavior. Understanding these complex relationships is pivotal in both prevention and intervention efforts. Recognizing the significance of family history, parental approaches, maladaptive beliefs, attachment patterns, and early caregiver interactions can inform the development of targeted strategies aimed at mitigating suicide risk in diverse contexts, including schools, communities, and clinical settings. By identifying these factors and their influence on suicidal behavior, practitioners and researchers alike can contribute to more effective prevention and intervention initiatives tailored to individual needs.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared
