Despite growing evidence of the serious impact of intimate partner violence (IPV) on children, research on intervention practices in the psychosocial sector remains limited. This study investigates professionals’ perspectives on children exposed to IPV and how they address this issue in their practice. Using a sequential mixed-methods design, an online survey (N = 129) was followed by semi-structured interviews (n = 13). The findings reveal major limitations in interventions targeting children exposed to IPV, which …

Abstract As service delivery moves further online, customer–employee exchanges are shifting from traditional face‐to‐face encounters to computer‐mediated interactions. Although research has extensively documented the adverse effects of customer incivility in face‐to‐face service settings, little is known about its online counterpart (i.e., customer cyber incivility). Drawing on ego depletion theory and conservation of resources theory, we develop a theoretical model to explain how and when customer cyber incivility …

Abstract Background Gingival recession is a common mucogingival condition associated with esthetic concerns, dentin hypersensitivity, and root-surface complications that may impair oral health-related quality of life. Nevertheless, some patients delay or decline treatment despite being aware of the condition. This study explored patient-perceived barriers to seeking treatment for gingival recession. Methods Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 15 participants who were aware of their gingival …

Despite growing acceptance of cannabis, considerable knowledge gaps persist regarding its effects on overall health status and quality of life. This study examines the impact of cannabis use on individuals’ overall, physical, and mental health status. To address potential endogeneity in cannabis use, we employ an instrumental variable (IV) approach using individual-level data. Three sets of IVs—state-level cannabis laws, cannabis prices, and average cannabis use within matched gender-age groups—are used to estimate …

Food service management in institutions such as Islamic boarding schools plays a crucial role in meeting nutritional needs while simultaneously enhancing food acceptance among female students. A key indicator of successful food service management is a low level of food waste. Food waste can be influenced by various factors, including food presentation, taste, and physical activity. Unappealing presentation, unpalatable taste, and low physical activity can reduce appetite, thereby increasing food waste. This study a …

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide because most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages when curative treatment is no longer feasible. Metabolomics has emerged as a promising strategy for identifying biochemical alterations associated with early tumor development and may improve the early detection of PDAC. This review critically evaluates the role of metabolomics in PDAC diagnosis, focusing on metabolite biomarkers, nuclear m …

Abstract Obstetric fistula remains one of the most preventable yet persistent forms of maternal morbidity in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), despite major investments in maternal health services. Traditionally associated with prolonged obstructed labor and delayed access to emergency obstetric care, fistula continues to expose failures across the continuum of care. This narrative review critically reassesses the contemporary relevance of the Three Delays Model as an explanatory framework for persistent obstetric fistula …

Abstract Background Workplace incivility is a global concern in healthcare, undermining staff wellbeing, organisational functioning and patient safety. In England, despite National Health Service (NHS) commitments to equality and inclusion, racially minoritised staff continue to experience inequities shaped by racism and organisational culture. How these dynamics influence incivility and its safety consequences for staff and patients’ remains underexplored. Methods and results This study presents a longitudinal qua …

Negative parenting is associated with adolescent maladjustment but less is known about its relation to stress symptoms specifically and the parental processes that may alter this association. This study examined whether negative parenting was associated with adolescent stress symptoms and whether parental cognitive empathy and affective dissonance moderated this association in Vietnam. Participants were 457 parent-adolescent dyads. Adolescents (Mage = 13.20 years, SD = 0.82; 53.8% girls) reported stress symptoms, w …

Abstract Poor self-regulation and aberrant reward processing are key mechanisms contributing to several adverse outcomes in young people, including mental health problems, academic failure, and risky behaviours. Importantly, poor self-regulation may be a cause of aberrant reward processing, but most of the evidence about their association is cross-sectional or limited to adults and clinical samples of children. Therefore, understanding how the development of self-regulation in childhood may be associated with rewar …

Background Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), hereafter referred to as self-injury, is common among adolescents and is associated with elevated risk for suicide attempts and other adverse mental health outcomes. Because most adolescents who self-injure do not receive formal treatment, accessible alternatives are needed. Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) may offer an accessible and scalable means of support. While previous research has examined DMHIs for youth, less is known about how adolescents who engage i …

ABSTRACT Background Ureteroscopy (URS) has emerged as a leading treatment option for urinary stones, with its usage growing from 30% to 70% over the last 20 years. Post‐URS complications, particularly infectious issues like UTIs, remain a concern, occurring in up to 25% of cases. This study aims to explore the relationship between preoperative mixed‐growth urine culture and postoperative outcomes of URS, addressing a critical gap in understanding the value and influence of these cultures. Methodology This retrospec …
