Background: The study aimed to validate the Cravings for Rest and Volitional Energy Expenditure (CRAVE) scale among Chinese adults with different health conditions (healthy control, chronic illnesses, and psychiatric disorders) and skill levels (athletes vs. non-athletes).
Methods: In Study 1, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using the Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM) was performed on a Chinese sample of emerging adults (N = 481) to evaluate the structural validity of the Cravings for Rest and Volitional Energy Expenditure-Chinese version (CRAVE-C). In Study 2, differences in "Move" and "Rest" desires were examined among patients with psychiatric disorders, patients with chronic illnesses, and healthy controls. In study 3, investigated the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise motivation using the CRAVE-C (N = 83). In Study 4, the changes in "Move" desire from baseline to post-training were compared between athletes and non-athletes.
Results: Results from Study 1 indicated that the 10-item CRAVE-C showed good fit indices ( Chi2 (34) = 118.769, CFI = 0.95, TLI = 0.934, SRMR = 0.053, RMSEA = 0.072). "Move" positively correlated with various factors of the Affective Exercise Experiences Questionnaire-Chinese and the Physical Effort Scale-Chinese, while "Rest" correlated negatively. In Study 2, Patients with psychiatric disorders had a significantly higher "Move" desire than healthy controls. Patients with chronic illnesses had a significantly higher "Rest" desire than healthy controls. In Study 3, higher cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with a slight increase in "Move" desire (3.26% ± 37.35%) and a decrease in "Rest" desire (18.94% ± 66.99%). Lower fitness was linked to a significant decline in "Move" desire (-54.61% ± 111.33%) and an increase in "Rest" desire (43.62% ± 63.64%). In Study 4, the athlete group demonstrated a significant increase in "Move" desire from baseline to post-training, whereas the non-athlete group reported a significant decrease in "Move" desire from baseline to post-training.
Conclusion: The 10-item CRAVE-C has good reliability and validity in the Chinese cultural context and can be used among Chinese adults with different health conditions and skill levels.

Introduction: Healthcare organizations worldwide face intense competition for survival in an ever-changing environment.
Objectives: This study aims to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and quality of healthcare (QHC) among Jordanian nurses working in governmental hospitals.
Method: This study was conducted using a descriptive correlational design and included a sample of 172 nurses. Participants from five governmental hospitals in Jordan completed online self-administered questionnaires, including the Nurse-Assessed Quality of Nursing Care Scale and the Genos Emotional Intelligence Concise Scale, along with sociodemographic data.
Results: The participating nurses demonstrated a high level of EI (M = 3.809, SD ± 0.484) and a very high level of QHC (M = 4.260, SD ± 0.372). A statistically significant correlation was found between the total quality of healthcare variables and the total EI variable (r = 0.739, p < 0.01). Additionally, statistically significant correlations were observed between the QHC and EI, as well as their respective dimensions (r = 0.357-0.739). EI was found to be a significant predictor of the QHC (F = 34.872, p ≤ 0.001), with a positive correlation between the two variables (r = 0.733). EI accounted for 59.8% of the variation in the QHC.
Conclusion: EI is a key predictor of QHC. It plays an essential role in recruiting, staffing, promoting, and nurturing employees, making it a crucial criterion for achieving excellence in healthcare organizations.

Introduction: Medical postgraduates generally experience high levels of depression and anxiety. Previous studies have investigated the impact of various achievement motivations on depression/anxiety among medical students.
Methods: This study focused on self-esteem and perceived stress, examining the internal mechanisms through which achievement motivation affects depression/anxiety. 530 medical postgraduate students (66.04% female and 33.96% male) were administered the Achievement Goal Orientation Scale, Self-Esteem Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale.
Results: Results indicated that: (1) mastery-approach goals were negatively correlated with depression/anxiety; mastery-avoidance goals were positively correlated with depression/anxiety; performance-avoidance goals positively predicted depression/anxiety; (2) self-esteem mediated the relationship between achievement motivation and depression/anxiety; (3) perceived stress played a mediating role in the relationship between achievement motivation and depression/anxiety; (4) self-esteem and perceived stress played a chain mediating role in the relationship between achievement motivation and depression/anxiety; (5) there was no significant linear correlation between mastery-approach goals and depression/anxiety.
Discussion: Although this study employed a cross-sectional design and self-report scales, both of which have certain limitations, the findings still hold significant theoretical and practical implications. The research reveals a mediating pathway between achievement goals and mental health, offering new insights into mental health education for medical graduate students.

In this article we present two ontological problems for the Integrated Information Theory of Consciousness 4.0: what we call the (i) the intrinsicality 2.0 problem, and (ii) the engineering problem. These problems entail that truly existing, conscious entities can depend on, and be engineered from, entities that do not objectively exist, which is problematic: if something does not exist in objective reality (i.e., in itself, independently of another entity's consciousness), then it seems that it cannot be part of the material basis and determinants of other entities that do exist on their own. We argue that the core origin of these problems lies in IIT's equation between true existence and phenomenal existence (consciousness), and the corresponding ontological exclusion of non-conscious physical entities (i.e., extrinsic entities) from objective reality. In short, these two problems seem to show that IIT should reconsider the ontological status of these extrinsic entities, because they need to exist objectively to account for the ontological implications of the scenarios we present here, which are permitted by the operational framework of the theory.

Background: Personality disorders may influence sexual behaviours and sexual dysfunction.
Aim: Our main objective was to analyse the influence of personality disorders (PDs) in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) of psychological origin that fail to respond to andrological treatment with Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (IPDE5), assessing whether there are differences in sexual behaviours and response to psychosexual treatment.
Methods: The research is designed as an ex post facto retrospective study with two groups. A control group of 23 men with ED without personality disorders and a group of 51 men with both ED and PDs.
Results: In the case sample, 34.30% of the participants presented more than one personality disorder. No significant differences were found in sexual behaviours except for heteromasturbation (men without PDs masturbated their partners more to satisfy them than men with PDs), and men with PDs considered themselves less premature ejaculators than the control group. Finally, 82.14% of the control group did well with psychosexual therapy compared to 53.85% of the PDs group.
Conclusion: Psychosexual treatment of ED has a worse outcome if the men also have PDs. Strengths and Limitations: from a clinical standpoint, it is important to assess the presence of personality disorders in men with ED and to implement psychosexual strategies to improve the response to treatment in these cases. Confirmation of the results with a much larger sample becomes necessary.
背景:人格障碍可能会影响性行为和性功能障碍:目的:我们的主要目的是分析人格障碍(PDs)对使用磷酸二酯酶-5抑制剂(IPDE5)治疗无效的心理性勃起功能障碍(ED)患者的影响,评估性行为和对性心理治疗的反应是否存在差异:研究设计为事后回顾性研究,分为两组。对照组由 23 名患有 ED 但无人格障碍的男性组成,另一组由 51 名同时患有 ED 和人格障碍的男性组成:在病例样本中,34.30%的参与者患有一种以上的人格障碍。除了异性手淫(与有人格障碍的男性相比,无人格障碍的男性更多通过手淫来满足伴侣),有人格障碍的男性认为自己的早泄程度低于对照组之外,他们在性行为方面没有发现明显的差异。最后,82.14%的对照组患者接受了性心理治疗,而患有早泄的患者只有53.85%接受了性心理治疗:结论:如果男性同时患有勃起功能障碍,对其进行性心理治疗的效果会更差。优点和局限性:从临床角度来看,评估患有 ED 的男性是否存在人格障碍并实施性心理治疗策略以改善这些病例的治疗效果非常重要。有必要用更大的样本来确认结果。

With the increase in infertility cases recorded over the last 20 years, there is a considerable demand for assisted reproductive treatments (ART). However, there is significant variation in the availability of such treatments across different countries. Legislation on assisted reproduction is influenced by various cultural expressions, making it seemingly impossible to create a single representation adaptable to different contexts. This work investigates the cultural representations of ART in Italy and Spain. We collected 1,735 articles from two Italian and Spanish newspapers, with all the articles containing the respective translation of ART from 2013 to 2022. The two corpora were analyzed using the Emotional Text Mining (ETM) methodology. The analysis produced 3 clusters in the Italian corpus and 5 clusters in the Spanish corpus. From the Italian results, a view of ART emerged that is linked to ethical limitations and the ideal of the traditional family. In contrast, the Spanish results depict ART in terms of community, rights, public health, and birth seen in itself. In conclusion, this study highlights the strong differences between Italian and Spanish cultures regarding ART. The results could be used to improve clinical practices and legislation surrounding ART.
随着过去 20 年不孕不育病例的增加,人们对辅助生殖治疗(ART)的需求也越来越大。然而,不同国家在提供此类治疗方面存在很大差异。有关辅助生殖的立法受到各种文化表现形式的影响,因此似乎不可能创造出一种适用于不同环境的单一表述方式。本研究调查了 ART 在意大利和西班牙的文化表现形式。我们从意大利和西班牙的两份报纸上收集了 1735 篇文章,所有文章都包含 ART 在 2013 年至 2022 年期间的相关翻译。我们采用情感文本挖掘(ETM)方法对这两个语料库进行了分析。分析结果显示,意大利语语料库中有 3 个聚类,西班牙语语料库中有 5 个聚类。从意大利语的分析结果来看,人们对 ART 的看法与伦理限制和传统家庭的理想有关。相比之下,西班牙的研究结果则从社区、权利、公共卫生和出生本身的角度来描述抗逆转录病毒疗法。总之,这项研究强调了意大利和西班牙文化在抗逆转录病毒疗法方面的巨大差异。研究结果可用于改善抗逆转录病毒疗法的临床实践和立法。

Introduction: Physical activity (PA) is associated with better perceived health among individuals with chronic conditions. However, PA's relationship with perceived health in people with long COVID is unclear and may be modified by long COVID symptom burden.
Methods: Participants with self-reported long COVID (N = 379) responded to an online survey cross-sectionally assessing PA levels, perceived physical and mental health, and intensity of CDC-defined long COVID symptoms on a 0-100 scale. Linear regression analyses assessed the associations between PA and perceived physical and mental health, after accounting for sociodemographic, health behavior, and long COVID intensity variables, with post-hoc analyses comparing health across PA levels.
Results: Increasing levels of PA were associated with increases in perceived physical health (β = 0.27, p < 0.001) and mental health (β = 0.19, p < 0.001) after accounting for sociodemographic and health behavior variables. PA remained significantly associated with perceived physical health (β = 0.15, p < 0.001) but not perceived mental health (β = 0.09, p = 0.067) after the adding long COVID intensity to the model. Insufficiently active and active groups reported significant better physical and mental health than the inactive group (ps < 0.05), while the highly active group did not significantly differ from any other group on perceived physical or mental health (ps > 0.05). Inactive individuals reported significantly greater long COVID symptom burden compared to each other PA level (ps < 0.05).
Conclusion: Higher levels of PA may be associated with better physical health among individuals with long COVID, even after accounting for symptom intensity. However, long COVID symptom intensity may confound the relationship between PA and mental health among individuals with long COVID.
介绍:体力活动(PA)与慢性病患者更好的健康感知相关。然而,在长期慢性病患者中,体育锻炼与健康感知之间的关系尚不明确,而且可能会受到长期慢性病症状负担的影响:方法:自我报告患有长期慢性阻塞性肺病的参与者(N = 379)回答了一项在线横截面调查,该调查评估了 PA 水平、感知的身体和心理健康以及 CDC 定义的长期慢性阻塞性肺病症状的强度(0-100 分)。在考虑了社会人口学、健康行为和长 COVID 强度变量后,线性回归分析评估了 PA 与感知的身心健康之间的关系,并对不同 PA 水平的健康状况进行了事后分析比较:结果:在将长 COVID 强度加入模型后,PA 水平的提高与身体健康感知的提高相关(β = 0.27,p β = 0.19,p β = 0.15,p β = 0.09,p = 0.067)。不够活跃组和活跃组的身心健康明显好于不活跃组(ps ps > 0.05)。与其他 PA 水平相比,不活跃人群报告的长 COVID 症状负担明显更重(ps 结论:PA 水平越高,症状负担越重;PA 水平越低,症状负担越重;PA 水平越高,症状负担越重:即使考虑到症状强度,较高水平的 PA 也可能与长期 COVID 患者较好的身体健康有关。然而,长期慢性阻塞性肺气肿症状强度可能会混淆长期慢性阻塞性肺气肿患者的业余爱好与心理健康之间的关系。

The physical, psychological and social changes that occur during adolescence constitute a physiological crisis that is necessary for development and growth. The establishment of a suitable "self-image" is important for facilitating harmonious psychophysical development during this time. In the current era, digital technology (DT) serves as an extraordinary means of communication for young people, who make significant use of images as a mode of expression. Accordingly, there is growing interest in the relationship between physical development, self-image and use of DT. A review of the published literature on the topic was carried out in April 2024. Fourteen studies (n = 14) were inclused from search of electronic databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, PsycInfo, MedLine, and Cochrane Library. The aim of this study is to explore the influence of (DT) on cultural models of adolescent body image, and how this "social" culture can affect wellbeing and development. It was considered that the rise of DT and social media (SM) emphasized in young people the culture of appearance, adherence to ideal models (thinness ideal) and social comparison at an unprecedented level. It was estimated that the digital mechanism works on the adolescent's vulnerability and stimulates the desire for experimentation and amplifies cultural beliefs that expose the young to deviant or pathological behaviors on the body. The use of digital images emphasizes the perception of self by making it more real and alive but empty of content. Our framework highlights that the adolescent can defend himself if he leaves the homologation that the SM condition, regains his own experiences, fill with emotional content and real life the images and the representation of the body.

Learning in asynchronous online settings (AOSs) is challenging for university students. However, the construct of learning engagement (LE) represents a possible lever to identify and reduce challenges while learning online, especially, in AOSs. Learning analytics provides a fruitful framework to analyze students' learning processes and LE via trace data. The study, therefore, addresses the questions of whether LE can be modeled with the sub-dimensions of effort, attention, and content interest and by which trace data, derived from behavior within an AOS, these facets of LE are represented in self-reports. Participants were 764 university students attending an AOS. The results of best-subset regression analysis show that a model combining multiple indicators can account for a proportion of the variance in students' LE (highly significant R2 between 0.04 and 0.13). The identified set of indicators is stable over time supporting the transferability to similar learning contexts. The results of this study can contribute to both research on learning processes in AOSs in higher education and the application of learning analytics in university teaching (e.g., modeling automated feedback).
对于大学生来说,在异步在线环境(AOS)中学习是一项挑战。然而,学习参与(LE)这一概念是识别和减少在线学习,尤其是异步在线学习中的挑战的一个可能的杠杆。学习分析为通过跟踪数据分析学生的学习过程和学习参与提供了一个富有成效的框架。因此,本研究要解决的问题是:LE 是否可以用努力、注意力和内容兴趣这三个子维度来建模,以及从 AOS 中的行为中获得的跟踪数据如何在自我报告中体现出 LE 的这些方面。参与者为 764 名参加 AOS 的大学生。最佳子集回归分析的结果表明,结合多个指标的模型可以解释学生生活质量的部分差异(高度显著的 R 2 在 0.04 和 0.13 之间)。所确定的指标集随着时间的推移是稳定的,这支持了在类似学习环境中的可移植性。这项研究的结果既有助于高等教育中AOS学习过程的研究,也有助于学习分析在大学教学中的应用(如自动反馈建模)。
