Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is common and deadly. Naltrexone is a treatment for AUD. Previous research examined factors that predict Ohio Advanced Practice Registered Nurses' (APRNs) utilization of naltrexone to treat AUD. Inclusion criteria included APRNs' endorsing receipt of the X-waiver, a designation indicating providers' receipt of substance use disorder education. In 2023, the X-waiver was eliminated. The purpose of this study was to replicate the previous research design in respondents without an X-waiver and compare findings.
Aims: The aims of this study were three-fold: (1) assess whether race, age, practice setting, years in practice, or work experience with an addiction specialist physician predicted prescription of naltrexone for AUD, (2) assess whether the goal of abstinence or reduced alcohol use as desired treatment affected the likelihood of naltrexone prescription for AUD, and (3) compare differences between the answers in the current respondent group without X-waiver and the previous study's X-waivered respondents.
Method: All Ohio APRNs were sent surveys. Eighty-eight responses were included in analysis. Descriptive statistics, logistic regression, and chi-square results were reported.
Results: Work experience with an addiction specialist physician was negatively associated with prescribing naltrexone for AUD. Respondents from the previous study of X-waivered APRNs were significantly more likely to prescribe naltrexone for reduced alcohol consumption as a treatment outcome than the respondents in this study.
Conclusion: The recent policy change eliminating the X-waiver provides important context for research, adding to the substance use disorder literature.
背景:酒精使用障碍(AUD)是一种常见的致命疾病。纳曲酮是一种治疗 AUD 的药物。之前的研究考察了俄亥俄州高级执业注册护士(APRNs)使用纳曲酮治疗 AUD 的预测因素。纳入标准包括高级执业注册护士认可接受 X 豁免,这是一种表明医疗服务提供者接受过药物使用障碍教育的称号。2023 年,X-豁免被取消。本研究的目的是在没有 X-豁免的受访者中复制之前的研究设计,并比较研究结果。目的:本研究的目的有三:(1)评估种族、年龄、执业环境、执业年限或与成瘾专科医生合作的工作经验是否会影响纳曲酮治疗 AUD 的处方;(2)评估禁欲或减少饮酒作为理想治疗目标是否会影响纳曲酮治疗 AUD 的处方;(3)比较目前未获得 X 豁免的受访者群体与之前研究中获得 X 豁免的受访者的答案之间的差异:方法:向俄亥俄州的所有 APRN 发送了调查问卷。分析中包括 88 份答复。报告了描述性统计、逻辑回归和卡方结果:与成瘾专科医师的工作经历与为 AUD 开纳曲酮处方呈负相关。与本研究中的受访者相比,上一项针对 X-waivered APRNs 的研究中的受访者更倾向于开具纳曲酮以减少酒精消耗量作为治疗结果:最近取消 X 豁免的政策变化为研究提供了重要背景,为药物使用障碍文献增添了新的内容。

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health concern, particularly in vulnerable populations such as Chinese immigrant women.
Aim: This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an empowerment-based intervention integrated with relaxation and self-compassion techniques for Chinese immigrant women experiencing IPV.
Methods: The present study was a part of a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT). A total of 50 Chinese immigrant women who had experienced IPV in the past year were recruited online and randomized to either the intervention or the control group. The intervention group engaged in seven weekly sessions delivered with a phone call and a mobile application. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through surveys and interviews to evaluate intervention adherence, participants' perceptions, and areas for improvement.
Results: 64% of the participants completed each weekly session, demonstrating favorable intervention adherence. The intervention was perceived to be helpful by most participants, with reported decreases in stress, anxiety, fatigue, pain, and family conflicts, and with reported improvements in emotion regulation and self-compassion. However, technical issues with the mobile platform and lack of personalization were identified as limitations.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention for Chinese immigrant women experiencing IPV and warrants a full-scale RCT to determine its efficacy. It will be essential to personalize the intervention and reduce any barriers to participation.

BACKGROUND: Limited studies have examined the extent to which cyberbullying and offline bullying are factors related to youth admissions to behavioral health inpatient units. However, considering the rising use of technology and prevalence of youth bullying, intake procedures require adaptation to account for modern-day psychological pressures facing youth. AIMS: Our aims were to pilot and analyze results from a novel intake form, assessing offline bullying and cyberbullying, in a youth inpatient behavioral health facility. METHODS: Upon admission at an inpatient behavioral health facility in the Midwestern United States, 622 youth (ages 10 and older) and their parent/guardian completed intake forms including questions about their experience of bullying, cyberbullying, and feelings of safety in different environments, and feelings about whether bullying contributed to their inpatient admission. RESULTS: Overall, 21.50% (134/622) of youth self-reported being a cybervictim, 6.10% (38/622) reported being an offline bully victim, and 8.04% (50/622) reported mixed bullying. Bullied youth felt significantly less safe in all environments than non-bullied youth, and bullied youth who felt unsafe were more likely to attribute their hospitalization to bullying. Troublingly, only about one-third of parents were aware of cyberbullying. CONCLUSION: Using traditional standards of care that do not address offline bullying/cyberbullying, mental health care workers may be missing critical factors that contribute to youth inpatient hospitalization for mental health issues. Behavioral health units should consider adapting intake forms to include offline bullying/cyberbullying questions and developing programming for parents and adults to address issues of online and offline safety.

Background: Trauma is important in the etiology of many problems including childhood anxiety, somatization, hostility and sleep disturbance.
Aims: This research was conducted to examine the posttraumatic stress and depression symptoms of children who experienced the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes in Türkiye.
Methods: The research, designed as a descriptive and relational type, was conducted with 636 children in the 10 to 18 age group who experienced the earthquake. Data were obtained through the Child Information Form, the Child Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Reaction Index (CPTSD-RI), and the Depression Inventory for Children.
Results: According to the scale scores, 100% of the children had depression symptoms, while 23% had severe trauma and 77% had very severe posttraumatic stress symptoms. It was revealed that children's posttraumatic stress reactions explained 71% of their depression (p < .001). It has been determined that the most important triggers affecting children's posttraumatic stress reactions are being trapped under debris and the problems they experience in reaching shelter and assistance (B: -3.706; B: -1.547; B: 3.969).
Conclusions: It was determined that there was a strong relationship between posttraumatic stress reactions and depression symptoms of children who experienced the earthquake. It has been observed that the experiences of children during and after the earthquake can have an impact on their trauma situations.

Background: The prevalence of substance use disorders (SUDs) in older adults has been increasing, necessitating tailored and effective addiction care for this aging demographic.
Aims: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of age-specific, interprofessional addiction care on clinical outcomes and health care resource utilization in older adults with SUD.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study directly compares patients enrolled in the Gaining Recovery in Addiction for Community Elders (GRACE) Project, an interprofessional age-specific addictions treatment program, with age-matched older adults who received conventional "treatment as usual" (TAU). Through retrospective comparative analysis, substance use outcomes, mental and physical health improvements, and inappropriate use of emergency services were examined among 78 older adults with SUD.
Results: Clinical outcomes and health care resource utilization were superior for older adults who received age-specific addictions care through the GRACE Project, as compared to mixed-age conventional "TAU." GRACE patients had improved treatment adherence, fewer relapses, and longer treatment engagement. While both groups exhibited significant reductions in depression and anxiety scores, GRACE patients showed greater improvements. This group demonstrated superior control of both hypertension and diabetes. Importantly, they had fewer inappropriate emergency department visits and avoidable hospitalizations than conventional "TAU."
Conclusions: Addiction treatment delivered by an interprofessional team to meet the unique strengths and needs of older adults has the potential to improve treatment adherence and more favorable long-term outcomes in substance use, mental health, and chronic medical conditions. Nurses are poised to lead interprofessional teams to meet the growing demand for specialized addiction treatment and integrated care for older adults.

Background: Social anxiety is an emerging public health issue associated with significant impairment of social functioning during adolescence. Among many determinants of social anxiety, proneness to smartphone addiction may significantly contribute to the development of social anxiety. To cope with the consequential development of social anxiety, adolescent school students may rely on various forms of social support. Particularly in the Middle East, including Jordan, the relationship between proneness to smartphone addiction and adolescent social anxiety is understudied.
Aim: To examine the mediating role of social support in the relationship between proneness to smartphone addiction and social anxiety in a sample of adolescent school students.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 432 adolescents were recruited via a random cluster sample from public schools across three provinces in Jordan. The data were collected face-to-face using the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents, the Smartphone Addiction Proneness Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support.
Results: Significantly higher levels of social anxiety were associated with females of lower economic status who reported more gaming hours and higher levels of proneness to smartphone addiction. Familial social support significantly mediated the relationship between proneness to smartphone addiction and social anxiety, controlling for the other covariates in the social anxiety model.
Conclusions: Familial social support reduced the impact of proneness to smartphone addiction on social anxiety. Nurses may supplement treatment for reducing social anxiety in adolescents suffering from proneness to smartphone addiction by fostering sources of familial social support.

Objective: This article revisits the responsible, accountable nurse with authority (RANA) model and its continued application to psychiatric-mental health nursing care nearly 30 years after its development. It will ascertain key elements of the model that remain in use today, while identifying parts of the model that have transformed over the years.
Methods: This article will also explore the theoretical underpinnings of the model, including Peplau's interpersonal relations theory. The impact of the primary nursing and relationship-based care models that influenced the RANA role will also be explored.
Results: Specific examples of how the RANA model has affected unit outcomes will be identified, such as improved patient safety measures and satisfaction with care.
Conclusions: The nurse-patient relationship and therapeutic alliance is fundamental to the RANA model and directly affects patient outcomes.

Background: Alcohol use affects 14.5 million Americans and high prevalence of use and potential for withdrawal among hospitalized patients presents a challenge for health care professionals to anticipate and manage effectively. Due to the acuity and fast-paced nature of the hospital environment, nurses need assessment tools that can be readily completed and drive efficient protocol-based treatment. The purpose of this study was to examine psychometric properties of the alcohol withdrawal assessment tool (AWAT).
Aims: The aims were to examine AWAT (1) reliability, (2) validity, and (3) usability.
Methods: Patients (n = 55) and nurses (n = 47) were recruited from six hospitals within one health care system in the Midwest. Psychometric testing included inter-rater reliability and criterion-related validity testing, using the Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment of Alcohol Scale-Revised (CIWA-Ar) as a comparison. Usability was assessed with a 5-item Likert-type scale.
Results: Findings supported strong agreement (ICC: .931) between raters on the AWAT and a moderate correlation (Pearson r: .548) between scores on the AWAT and CIWA-Ar. Nurses agreed/strongly agreed that the AWAT took 2 min or less to complete (n = 42; 89%), was easy to use for assessment (n = 42; 89%) was easy to learn (n = 40; 85%), and they were confident using the AWAT (n = 39; 83%).
Conclusions: Study findings provide evidence of reliability, validity, and usability of the AWAT in the hospital setting. The AWAT has potential to improve assessment efficiency and nurses caring for inpatients with mental health disorders should consider implementing the tool into practice.

Objective: The purpose of this discussion paper is to summarize the 2022 updates to the American Psychiatric Nurses Association's (APNA) Seclusion and Restraint Position Statement and Seclusion and Restraint Standards of Practice.
Method: Both documents were the work of the APNA 2022 Seclusion and Restraint Task Force that consisted of APNA nurses with expertise in the use of Seclusion and Restraint, who practice across a wide range of clinical settings.
Results: The 2022 Updates to the APNA Position Statement and Standards were guided by evidence-based information found in the review of seclusion and restraint literature and clinical expertise from the 2022 Seclusion and Restraint Task Force.
Conclusions: Updates were evidence-based and in line with APNA's core values and initiatives in diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Background: Current evidence of nonpharmacological intervention for patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is lacking. AIMS: To examine whether an 8-week nurse-led cognitive-behavioral based group intervention would enhance resilient coping and life quality among community-based patients with TRD.
Method: The participants were randomly sampled from a cohort of TRD recruited from two general teaching hospitals. The two groups were assessed with multiple outcome measures at baseline (T0); 8-week post-baseline (T1); and at 3, 6, and 9 months after T1 (T2-4). Psychoeducation was nested in the cognitive behavioral group intervention to facilitate discussion.
Results: Of the 23 participants (mean age 56 years, 69.6% female) in the experimental group, higher resilient coping and lower mental distress levels at T1 as well as later improved quality of life and community integration at T2-4 were observed compared to the controls across COVID-19 (T3). Overall, the scores of resilience and community integration were higher throughout the four follow-up points of observations for the experimental group.
Conclusion: The findings indicated that an 8-week nurse-led cognitive-behavioral based group intervention may enhance the TRD patients' resilient coping and mental distress levels while providing the potentials for community reintegration after mental health psychoeducation engagement. It is imperative for the nurses caring for patients with TRD to extend from clinical-based intervention to community-based self-care approach, with the importance of short-term stress management and healthy lifestyle development highlighted during the community reintegration trajectory.
