What Are the Challenges of Mothers with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Children in Hebron District: Cross-Sectional Study

Aim: To identify the most frequent challenges of mothers raising ADHD children. Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral childhood disorder. The impulsivity and inattention by the child make parenting challenging. Methods: A cross-sectional study with67 mothers of ADHD children recruited from ADHD child management center, filled out the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), simple linear regression analysis was used to find an association between total burden score and variables (p<0.05) Results: 70% of mothers had a high Burden of care,24% with a moderate burden of care, and 6% with a low burden. Feelings of loss of control and insufficient time for self were the most significant correlated variables to the high burden of care (p<0.05), deterioration of the mother's health and social life, stigma, mistrust about proper treatment, and lack of school cooperation Conclusions: Mothers of ADHD children face difficulties and challenges in raising ADHD children, high level of burden among mothers correlated to psychological and social difficulties. Relevance to clinical practice: Positive parenting programs are recommended for parents with ADHD children to empower them in the management of their ADHD children's behavior to gain a better quality of life for ADHD children and their caregivers.

Teacher Candidates’ Self-Efficacy Beliefs Related to Four Basic Skills in English

The aim of the study is to explore the pre-service teachers' self-efficacy beliefs related to foreign language (English) skills within various variables. The "Self-Efficacy Scale for English Language Skills" developed by Sağlam and Arslan (2018) was used as a main data collection tool. Within the scope of this study, the relations between self-efficacy beliefs of senior teacher candidates and other variables such as gender and study programs were focused on. Based on the findings, it was seen that, almost all (90.8%) of the pre-service teachers did not allocate any time for self –study in English and more than half of them (56.1%) stated that they learned English only to pass the course. Additionally, in the analysis, it was observed that the English language skills self-efficacy belief levels of the senior teacher candidates were low. According to the independent sample t-Test results, no statistically significant difference was found between gender and self-efficacy beliefs in English language skills, except for listening skills. Related to the findings of the One-Way ANOVA Test, there was no statistically significant difference between study programs and English self-efficacy beliefs. Lastly, according to the chi-square test, no statistically significant relationship was found between the six study programs and the self- study time. Key words: Self-efficacy beliefs, Language skills, Teacher education, English language proficiency, Student teachers

Early Parenthood Experiences in Davao City, Philippines

This study explored the experiences of young mothers in early parenthood. This qualitative study was conducted using the phenomenological method. The seven participants were purposively selected to be interviewed. The data analysis results reveal interesting themes regarding the mothers’ experiences, challenges, coping strategies, and insights during early parenthood. Themes for experiences such as dilemma in providing proper care, feelings of apprehension and shame, failed expectations, society’s judgment, satisfying feeling of achieving motherhood, and lack of time for self are revealed in experiences. Mothers in early parenthood experienced challenges such as being financially incapable, mentally and emotionally unprepared, and unprivileged to finish school. Finding strength from family and God, using personal strategies, and getting support and motivation from the husband are the coping strategies of mothers when dealing with challenges. The mothers’ insights include being prepared for the consequences, parents knowing what is best for us, being a mother is a big shoe to fill, and weighing things wisely. The gathered data from the participants will provide invaluable insights and knowledge that can contribute to the field of social work by strengthening prevention efforts. In addition, by understanding young parents' unique experiences and needs, social workers can develop effective programs and services to help address their challenges. Finally, the younger generation may get a significant takeaway from the study about the experiences and consequences of early parenthood.

A LITERARY REVIEW OF ARTAVAKSHAYA IN AYURVEDA W.S.R. TO OLIGO-HYPOMENORRHEA – REVIEW BASED ON LITERARY STUDY

Menstrual irregularity is one of the most frequent Gynecological disorders among women during reproductive period. Due to changes in lifestyle like no time for self, use of mobiles or other electronic gadgets, busy schedule, stressful lifestyle, change in food habit (junk food or fast food) etc. As a Result, our body doesn’t get adequate nutrients required and consequently, stress or depression causes hormonal imbalances which causes menstrual irregularities. Artavakshaya is one of the most common menstrual irregularities. Artavakshaya is characterized by irregularities of cycles and scanty menstruation. Artavakshaya can be compared to Oligomenorrhea or Hypomenorrhea. Artavakshaya is also seen as one of the manifestations of the Artavadushti like Vataj Artavadushti and Ksheenartava dushti. Our Ayurvedic classics describe various modalities like lifestyle modification, Pathyapathya, Oral medication and Panchakarma procedure (Basti) for the management of Aartavakshaya.

Self-learning of cardiac ultrasound by medical students: can augmented online training improve and maintain manual POCUS skills over time?

The use of cardiac point of care ultra-sound is rapidly growing and so is the demand for quality POCUS teaching. POCUS teaching is usually conducted in small groups requiring much space and equipment. This study attempts to test whether providing access to an E-learning module as an adjunct to a cardiac POCUS course can increase students' image acquisition skills. This will show POCUS teaching can improve significantly without having to invest a significant amount of resources. Medical students (N = 125) were divided into two groups and had undergone a hands-on Cardiac POCUS course before their internal clerkship. During the clerkship, members of both groups got to practice their POCUS skills in the internal wards. One group was provided with accounts to a cardiac POCUS teaching E-learning platform (eMedical Academy©). After limited time for self- practice, both groups underwent a pre-validated ultrasound examination. The two groups' test results were then compared for each POCUS view and for the total exam score. The E-learning group performed significantly better than the course-only group in the 6-min exam total score, and at acquiring the following views: parasternal long axis view, apical four-chamber view, and the inferior vena cava view. E-learning platforms can be an efficient tool for improving cardiac POCUS teaching and maintaining POCUS skills. Using it as a supplement to a hands-on course provides better POCUS skills without the need of extra hands-on teaching.

Participant Perspectives on Community Qigong for People with Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting motor and nonmotor function including physical and cognitive decline, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. Qigong is a mind-body self-care practice with the potential to address MS symptoms. Publicly available community qigong classes may provide opportunities for people with MS to access qigong, but little is known about the risks and benefits. A mixed methods study of community qigong was conducted for people with MS. In this article, the results of this qualitative analysis to identify benefits and challenges faced by people with MS attending community qigong classes were presented. Qualitative data were collected from an exit survey of 14 study participants with MS who enrolled in a pragmatic trial of community qigong classes for 10 weeks. Participants were new to community-based classes offered but some had experience with qigong/tai chi/other martial arts or yoga. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Seven common themes were identified from this analysis: (1) physical function, (2) motivation/energy, (3) learning, (4) dedicating time for self, (5) meditation/centering/focus, (6) relaxation/stress relief, and (7) psychological/psychosocial. These themes reflected both positive and negative experiences with community qigong classes and home practice. Self-reported benefits centered around improved flexibility, endurance, energy, and focus; stress relief; and psychological/psychosocial benefits. Challenges included physical discomfort including short-term pain, balance difficulty, and heat intolerance. The qualitative findings provide evidence to support qigong as a self-care practice that may benefit people with MS. The challenges identified in the study will help to inform future clinical trials of qigong for MS. ClinicalTrials.gov (CTR#: NCT04585659).

Mindful parenting-A thematic exploration of narratives from Indian mothers.

With the global crisis of COVID-19 continuing, Indian mothers have not received adequate attention with respect to their challenges and mothering experiences. The current study explored mindful parenting practices in a cohort of Indian mothers of children aged 10 years and below that emerged in response to the challenges posed by COVID-19. In-depth virtual interviews were conducted with 31 urban Indian mothers to explore their lived experiences of mothering during the global crisis and their engagements with mindful parenting practices. The data were thematically analyzed. The study identified two overarching themes and nine subthemes. The first theme, pandemic-induced stress, included the sub-themes of increased workload, poor support system, lack of time for self, and emotional and physical distress. The second theme of mindful parenting included the sub-themes of awareness as a mother and around the child, acceptance toward self and the child, empathic understanding of self and the child, active engagement with the child, and emotional regulation. Increased workload on all fronts coupled with poor support and a lack of time for self-contributed to exacerbated emotional and physical stress in mothers. They addressed these concerns posed by their lived experiences by engaging in mindful parenting processes in their mothering practices. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and mindfulness-based parenting techniques could be explored as possible interventions for mothers to alleviate their distress while drawing attention to larger structural changes and policy-level interventions addressing social issues such as gender inequality and childcare concerns.

The Relationship between Personal and Contextual Factors and Participation Restriction in Mid-Life Caregivers.

Mid-life family caregivers (CGs) are at risk for participation restriction, which can worsen quality of care for care recipients (CR) and increase CG burden and poor health. We aimed to identify factors associated with participation restriction in mid-life CGs. This was a cross-sectional study of CGs aged 40-64 years (n = 1100) from the 2015 cohort of the National Study of Caregiving (NSOC)/National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS). Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate personal and caregiving attributes associated with restricted participation. Individual items from the negative and Positive aspects of caregiving (PAC) scales were associated with participation restriction. Mid-life caregivers with "frequent changes to caregiving routine" and "no time for self" were more likely to report restricted participation and those feeling "closer to the CR" were less likely to report restricted participation. Interventions to optimize caregiving routines and improve dyadic relationships could decrease participation restriction in mid-life CGs.

Factors Associated With Participation Restriction in Mid-Life Caregivers and Implications for OT Intervention

Abstract Date Presented 04/02/2022 Mid-life caregivers are at risk for participation restriction, which contributes to poor health and quality of care for care recipients. We aimed to uncover the predictors of participation restriction in this group. Daughters and caregivers who report frequent changes to routine and no time for self were at highest risk. Feeling close to the care recipient and using respite care were protective. OT interventions can alleviate participation restriction in this at-risk group. Primary Author and Speaker: Tara C.

Changes in female function and autonomous selfing across floral lifespan interact to drive variation in the cost of selfing.

PremiseMorphological and developmental changes as flowers age can impact patterns of mating. At the same time, direct or indirect costs of floral longevity can alter their fitness outcomes. This influence has been less appreciated, particularly with respect to the timing of selfing. We investigated changes in stigma events, autonomous selfing, outcross seed set capacity, and autofertility—a measure representing the potential for reproductive assurance—across floral lifespan in the mixed‐mating biennial Sabatia angularis.MethodsWe examined stigma morphology and receptivity, autonomous self‐pollen deposition, and seed number and size under autonomous self‐pollination and hand outcross‐pollination for flowers of different ages, from 1 d of female phase until 14 d. We compared autonomous seed production to maximal outcross seed production at each flower age to calculate an index of autofertility.ResultsThe stigmatic lobes begin to untwist 1 d post anthesis. They progressively open, sextend, coil, and increase in receptivity, peaking or saturating at 8–11 d, depending on the measure. Autonomous seed production can occur early, but on average remains low until 6 d, when it doubles. In contrast, outcross seed number and size start out high, then decline precipitously. Consequently, autofertility increases steeply across floral lifespan.ConclusionsChanges in stigma morphology and receptivity, timing of autonomous self‐pollen deposition, and floral senescence can interact to influence the relative benefit of autonomous selfing across floral lifespan. Our work highlights the interplay between evolution of floral longevity and the mating system, with implications for the maintenance of mixed mating in S. angularis.

Sleep Disturbance and Strain Among Caregivers of Persons Living With Dementia.

ObjectiveThe study objective was to examine predictors of sleep disturbance and strain among caregivers of persons living with dementia (PLWD).MethodsThis cross-sectional study utilized a sample of community-dwelling older adults and their family caregivers drawn from the 2017 National Health and Aging Trends Study and National Study of Caregiving. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association between caregiver and PLWD characteristics and a composite measure of caregiving strain. High caregiving strain was defined as a total score of ≥ 5 on the 6 caregiving strain items (e.g., emotional difficulty, no time for self). We used multivariable proportional odds models to examine predictors of caregiver sleep-related outcomes (trouble falling back to sleep and interrupted sleep), after adjusting for other caregiver and PLWD factors.ResultsOf the 1,142 family caregivers, 65.2% were female, 15% were Black, and 14% were Hispanic. Average age was 60 years old. Female caregivers were more likely to report high level of strain compared to male caregivers (OR: 2.61, 95% CI = 1.56, 4.39). Compared to non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic caregivers had reduced odds of reporting greater trouble falling back asleep [OR = 0.55, CI (0.36, 0.82) and OR = 0.56, CI (0.34, 0.91), respectively]. The odds of reporting greater trouble falling back asleep was significantly greater among caregivers with high blood pressure vs. caregivers without high blood pressure [OR = 1.62, CI (1.12, 2.33)].ConclusionIn this cross-sectional study, caregivers with greater sleep difficulty (trouble falling back asleep) were more likely to report having high blood pressure. We found no racial/ethnic differences in interrupted sleep among caregivers to PLWD. These results suggest that interventions to improve sleep among caregivers to PLWD may decrease poor cardiovascular outcomes in this group.

Experiences and challenges faced by the working population during COVID-19 Lockdown: A qualitative study.

Background:The largest COVID-19 national lockdown was declared on 25 March 2020 in India with a total shutdown of workplaces and transport sectors. A complete lockdown deemed the entire population of the country to stay wherever they were residing at that point of time with no entry or exit movements being permitted thereafter. This unique situation betwixt a menacing health crisis rolled out a scenario uncustomary to the nation`s citizens. The varied responses of the masses to the lockdown need to be captured in order to understand the difficulties and dilemmas faced by them. Hence, this qualitative analysis aimed to capture the immediate challenges and experiences faced by the working population during the first-ever declared nationwide lockdown.Methodology:After obtaining institutional ethical committee clearance, a qualitative study was conducted using grounded theory approach. Using purposive sampling, people representative of the working-class population in Kerala were selected from three districts of the state. Equal representation of males and females were maintained. In-depth interviews were conducted via telephone using an interview guide till data saturation was obtained. The audio recorded data were later transcribed verbatim and translated to English. The transcripts were then manually coded to identify the emerging themes and subthemes and conclusions were drawn after triangulation.Results:The age of the study participants ranged from 32 to 71 years, they were occupied in different vocations and belonged to middle-class families across three districts of Kerala. All of them were aware and were mentally prepared for a national lockdown. They also made arrangements such as purchase of food, drinking water, medicines, etc., for home but also for office as well. Even though most of them were initially excited about the lockdown it was then followed by fear of contracting the disease, worries about loss of work and financial security. The study participants identified the advantages of lockdown as having more time for self & for family, use of the online/digital medium for routine activities and many also appreciated the support provided by the government in the form of food kits and loans. The lockdown was found to have increased the workload especially for women who had to manage not only family but also online work from home.Conclusion:The study was able to capture the different experiences and challenges faced by the middle-class working population. Even though they went through a cascade of initial excitement followed by fear of contracting the disease, it eventually turned into concerns of job and financial insecurities. The united frontline work of various sectors like police, health sector, local self-government, Kudumbashree and voluntary groups collectively aided in building community resilience enabling the southern state of Kerala to overcome the devastating effects of the pandemic and lockdown.

A Comparative Study Between General and Critical Ward Nurses on Quality of Work Life, Professional Quality of Life and Coping Strategies

The aim of the present study is to find out the quality of work life, professional quality of life and coping strategies of nurses in general and critical ward. A group of 60 nurses (30 from general ward and 30 from critical ward) were selected as sample in this investigation. General Information Schedule, Brook’s Quality of Work Life Scale, Professional Quality of Life Scale and Coping Strategy Indicator were used as tools. The findings of Independent‘t’ revealed that quality of work life as expressed by nurses engaged in general ward is better than that of the other group. On the contrary, reverse picture was observed in case of professional quality of life. Besides this, coping strategy related to social support, problem solving and avoidance do not differ significantly between the nurses engaged in general and critical ward. Findings of the present work may help the nurses engaged in critical ward by providing continuing education programs on coping, relaxation, communication skills, sparing time for self and setting professional boundaries.

A national profile of health-focused caregiving activities prior to a new cancer diagnosis

BackgroundLittle is known about how unpaid family caregivers may already be engaged in caregiving activities prior to their care recipient's cancer diagnosis. We examined pre-cancer diagnosis caregiving patterns and their association with caregiving strain. MethodsWe conducted a population-based analysis of 2011–2017 National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) linked with the National Study of Caregiving (NSOC) and Medicare claims data. Latent class analysis was used to examine patterns of 16 health-focused caregiving tasks (e.g., tracking medications, making appointments) of family caregivers assisting adults ≥65 years prior to an incident cancer diagnosis. High caregiving strain was defined as a total score ≥ 85th percentile of 6 caregiving strain items (e.g., financial difficulty, no time for self). Association between caregiving patterns and strain were examined using multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for care recipient and caregiver characteristics. ResultsAn estimated 4.2 million caregivers cared for older adults prior to care recipients' new cancer diagnoses during 2011–2017. They engaged in a median of four health-focused caregiving activities. Nearly 1-in-5 (18.7%) pre-cancer caregivers had high caregiving strain. Caregivers were classified into 3 health-focused caregiving activity classes: Low-level (41.2%), Moderate-coordination (29.3%), and High-intensity (29.4%). Higher caregiving activity was associated with higher caregiving strain (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 3.85, 95% CI: 2.34–6.33). Caregivers in the High-intensity class had the highest caregiving strain (39.9%), and included more spouses (28.1% vs <18%). ConclusionOne-third of U.S. caregivers who help older adults prior to their cancer diagnoses are already highly strained and engaged in high-level health-focused caregiving tasks. Oncology clinicians should assess the capacity and strain of family caregivers who may already be supporting patients with new cancer diagnoses and refer caregivers to additional supportive care services.

The needs and well-being of severe asthma and COPD carers: A cross-sectional study.

Caring for people with severe asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can impair the quality of life (QoL) of the carer. We aimed to describe the QoL and needs of severe asthma and COPD carers. Carers of severe asthma (n= 89) and COPD (n= 48) completed an online cross-sectional survey assessing QoL and carer support needs using the Short Form Health Survey 12v2 (SF-12), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Carers Support Needs Assessment Tool (CSNAT) questionnaires. Carers of people with severe asthma and COPD were similar in age (mean ±SD 57.78 ± 14.09 vs. 56.93 ± 12.91) and gender (65% female vs. 66%); however, they differed in caring duration (proportion caring for >10 years: 65% vs. 33%, p< 0.002). QoL was impaired in both groups, but there were no significant differences between severe asthma and COPD carers in either of the SF-12 component scores. The HADS scores revealed no difference between groups. Compared to severe asthma carers, COPD carers had significantly greater needs for: 'having time for self' (33% vs. 13%, p= 0.006), 'equipment to help care for relative' (33% vs. 13%, p= 0.006), 'practical help in the home' (35% vs. 18%, p= 0.006) and 'getting a break from caring overnight' (21% vs. 6%, p= 0.023). QoL is impaired in carers of people with severe asthma to a similar degree of COPD carers and other debilitating diseases like cancer. These novel data highlight the support needs of severe asthma carers and identifies areas where tailored support is needed to reduce their substantial carer burden.

Against the Odds: Hybrid Zones between Mangrove Killifish Species with Different Mating Systems.

Different mating systems are expected to affect the extent and direction of hybridization. Due to the different levels of sexual conflict, the weak inbreeder/strong outbreeder (WISO) hypothesis predicts that gametes from self-incompatible (SI) species should outcompete gametes from self-compatible (SC) ones. However, other factors such as timing of selfing and unilateral incompatibilities may also play a role on the direction of hybridization. In addition, differential mating opportunities provided by different mating systems are also expected to affect the direction of introgression in hybrid zones involving outcrossers and selfers. Here, we explored these hypotheses with a unique case of recent hybridization between two mangrove killifish species with different mating systems, Kryptolebias ocellatus (obligately outcrossing) and K. hermaphroditus (predominantly self-fertilizing) in two hybrid zones in southeast Brazil. Hybridization rates were relatively high (~20%), representing the first example of natural hybridization between species with different mating systems in vertebrates. All F1 individuals were sired by the selfing species. Backcrossing was small, but mostly asymmetrical with the SI parental species, suggesting pattern commonly observed in plant hybrid zones with different mating systems. Our findings shed light on how contrasting mating systems may affect the direction and extent of gene flow between sympatric species, ultimately affecting the evolution and maintenance of hybrid zones.

Validation of the Chinese Version of KIDSCREEN-10 Quality of Life Questionnaire: A Rasch Model Estimation.

The KIDSCREEN-10 was deemed as a cross-national instrument for measuring Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). However, no empirical endeavor has explored its reliability and validity in the context of China. This study aims to translate and validate the Chinese version of the KIDSCREEN-10 questionnaire. The KIDSCREEN-10 was translated into Chinese (Mandarin) using a blindly bilingual forward–backward–forward technique. A cross-sectional survey, including 1,830 students aged from 8 to 18 years, was conducted in a county located in Gansu province, China. Psychometric properties were evaluated using the Rasch partial credit model, ANOVA, and the correlation analysis. Results indicated that the KIDSCREEN-10 performed good internal consistency, known-group validity, and concurrent validity, but there were still some deficiencies in psychometrics: first, disordered response categories were found between category 2 (seldom) and category 3 (sometimes); second, item 3 (“Have you felt sad?”), item 4 (“Have you felt lonely?”), and item 5 (“Have enough time for self?”) demonstrated misfit to the Rasch model; third, items 3 and 4 exhibited differential item functioning. After collapsing the disordered response categories and removing the three misfit items, the seven-item questionnaire performed good psychometric properties. However, the seven-item version does not cover the psychological well-being dimension of HRQoL, and that may lead to inappropriate measures of HRQoL. Therefore, this paper suggested to use classical test theory to investigate the psychological properties of the KIDSCREEN-10.

Research on Intelligent Route Planning Based on Ant Colony Algorithm

In this paper, we propose a zoning plan for reasonable travel time for self driving travelers. There are 201 5A scenic spots in the country. Travelers who want to visit all scenic spots in the face of many time constraints need to optimize travel routes to ensure maximum travel income. Based on this idea, an optimal path analysis based on ant colony algorithm is proposed. After considering time constraints, the time window constraint is transformed into a target function. Constraint, the hard time constraints which must satisfy the limit of driving time limit and the limit of the opening time of the scenic spots are transformed into soft constraints, and the improved ant colony algorithm is used to iterate.With the help of the improved ant colony algorithm, the optimal path selection satisfying the time constraint is obtained. Taking Jiangsu Province as an example, this article draws a tourist route map of Jiangsu province.

Study to Compare Progrip Mesh vs Conventional Mesh in Lichtenstein’s Open Inguinal Hernia Repair

Background: A hernia is protrusion of a tissue or an organ such as omentum or bowel loops through adefect in the weakened abdominal wall muscles . Amongst the various types of hernia, inguinal hernia isthe most commonest. The best modality of treating an inguinal hernia is surgery and hence most commonsurgery done is inguinal hernia repair . Amongst the various techniques of hernia repair, Lichtenstein’stension free meshplasty is the latest, best and has become the gold standard . In 2008, COVIDIEN launchedprogrip mesh which is a self fixating mesh used in both inguinal and incisional hernia repair . Progrip meshis made up isoelastic lightweight macroporous knitted monofilament polypropylene fabric that incorporatesresorbablepolylactic acid fabric on one side of the mesh to provide self fixation during first few months ofimplantation.Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the outcome on basis of incidence of postoperative pain andoperative time of self fixating pro-grip mesh with conventional mesh in Lichtensteins open inguinalherniomeshplasty .Objective:• Comparing outcome in terms• Post-operative pain• Operative timeConclusion: Lichtenstein’s open inguinal herniomeshplasty using self-fixating Progrip mesh has anadvantage over conventional mesh repair as it requires less operative time and the incidence of postoperativepain is less frequent and occurs at an even more later period compared to conventional mesh repair which attimes is found to be present even at post-operative day 2.
