The research examined the experiences of African American grandmothers living in rural communities providing care to their grandchildren. The study explored the health, mental health, physical functioning, well-being, support, and resources of these grandmothers. The grandmothers reported challenges and needs which included their own health issues, lack of support and resources, financial concerns, transportation and childcare issues. The findings revealed that developing health education programs and other formal supports focusing on health, mental health and resources have a positive effect on the grandmother’s perceptions regarding their health and support.

Objectives: Given the high pressure of weight-loss face by Chinese female college students and the lack of studies on the psychological mechanism of the weight-loss behaviors of this particular group, the present study investigated the interrelationships among the planning, self-regulation, and volitional self-efficacy, which were identified as the most significant three factors influencing the weight-loss of this population.Methods: Five hundred (n=500) female college students were recruited from three colleges in China. The collected data include participants’ planning, self-regulation, volitional self-efficacy, and weight-loss result. Wen, Zhang, Hou, & Liu’s (2004) three-step procedure was adopted to test the mediating effects of self-regulation and volitional self-efficacy, respectively, between planning and weight-loss result.Results: The mediating effects of self-regulation and volitional self-efficacy were confirmed. Based upon those, a recursive model was proposed to show a joint impact from the interrelated planning, self-regulation, and volitional self-efficacy to weight-loss result.Discussion: This study gained an in-depth understanding of both direct and indirect influences between planning to weight-loss. The recursive model sheds light on the potential promoting effect of the planning to weight-loss result through an enhanced self-regulation and volitional self-efficacy. The found psychological mechanism of Chinese female college students’ weight-loss behaviors pave the road for the studies of intervention.

Human trafficking is a major crime with millions of victims globally. The issue has come to increased attention in the past twenty-five years, and much progress has been made in rescue efforts by law enforcement agencies. Unfortunately, the same pace has not been seen in understanding the public health crisis associated with this, nor has much attention been paid to the psychological consequences and treatment. Although a number of risk and protective factors for the health consequences of human trafficking victims have been identified, there is still a dearth of information in the area of intervention and treatment. In reviewing current literature, we could not find articles comparing the different components of prevailing trauma treatment strategies, and the potential usefulness of these strategies in the treatment of human trafficking victims. To this end, we surveyed mental health professionals from Florida about their experience in working with this population and treatment strategies they have found effective in working with this population. Based on prevailing research, we also tried to understand the usefulness of current treatment strategies and methods used with this population. Based on the results of our study, we conclude that mental health providers who work with human trafficking victims should become aware of treatment efficacy. Further research on the effectiveness of treatment strategies used with victims/survivors of human trafficking is needed to validate our recommendations.

Sociology provides a framework for addressing the biosocial implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Social science in general, specifically sociology, examines the social implications of disease on social interaction, social structures, and society as a whole [1]. Our social order is a complex system of interrelated parts. Changes in the health and well-being of a population can have a significant impact on the normal function of society. Viral disease has both anticipated and unanticipated consequences for society. It is inevitable that viral disease will spread through out large populations of people. This is particularly the case with respect to densely populated urban centers. The spread of disease is facilitated by our modes and frequency of social contact. The importance of wearing a mask and “physical distancing” are the key factors in addressing the spread of viral disease in a given population.

Background: Venepuncture is one of the commonest stressful invasive procedures in the health care setting. Unfortunately, to date, there was a lack of locally published studies that studied anxiety, especially before the procedure among adult patients. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the factors associated with the state and trait-anxiety among adult patients before the venepuncture procedure in UiTMMC. Methods: A cross-sectional pilot study was conducted among patients while waiting for a venepuncture procedure in March 2020. Patients aged 18 years old and above, Malaysian, able to understand English or Malay and had experienced venepuncture in UiTMMC were recruited. Malay validated version of the State-Trait-Anxiety-Inventory (STAI) Questionnaire was used to assess the anxiety level. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS Version 26.0, and multiple linear regression was used to determine the associated factors for state and trait-anxiety before the venepuncture procedure. Results: A total of 330 patients with a mean age of 46.34 ± 14.34 years participated in this study. The mean of the state-anxiety score was 38.02 ± 14.25 and the mean trait-anxiety score was 36.46 ± 11.47. The correlation between state-anxiety and trait-anxiety scores was highly significant (r=0.870, p<0.001). Factors associated with state-anxiety and trait-anxiety contributed with 72.6% and 58.5% variances, respectively. Conclusions: Adult patients who waiting for venepuncture in were average low state and trait anxiety scores. Although the associated factors were majority non-modifiable, this finding still can instil awareness to the health care workers who are dealing with needle procedurals.
背景:静脉穿刺是医疗环境中最常见的压力侵入性手术之一。不幸的是，到目前为止，还没有在当地发表的关于焦虑的研究，特别是在成年患者手术前的研究。因此，本研究旨在确定与UiTMMC成人患者静脉穿刺手术前状态和特质焦虑相关的因素。方法:在2020年3月等待静脉穿刺手术的患者中进行了一项横断面试点研究。患者年龄在18岁及以上，马来西亚人，能够理解英语或马来语，并在UiTMMC经历过静脉穿刺。马来语验证版的状态-特质-焦虑量表(STAI)被用来评估焦虑水平。采用IBM SPSS Version 26.0对数据进行分析，并采用多元线性回归确定静脉穿刺手术前状态和特质焦虑的相关因素。结果:共纳入330例患者，平均年龄46.34±14.34岁。状态焦虑得分均值为38.02±14.25分，特质焦虑得分均值为36.46±11.47分。状态焦虑与特质焦虑评分的相关性极显著(r=0.870, p<0.001)。与状态焦虑和特质焦虑相关的因素分别贡献了72.6%和58.5%的方差。结论:等待静脉穿刺的成年患者状态焦虑和特质焦虑得分均较低。虽然相关因素大多数是不可改变的，但这一发现仍然可以向正在处理针头程序的卫生保健工作者灌输意识。

In light of the call for addiction treatment reform, this conceptual manuscript discusses the importance of using a multidisciplinary approach to treating substance use disorder. The concept of incorporating a registered dietician to the multidisciplinary approach supports the moniker of providing a “holistic” approach of substance use disorder treatment. The implementation of registered dieticians takes on more of a biopsychosocial (holistic) approach to treating and sustaining recovery for individuals with substance use disorders. Research supporting the incorporation of registered dieticians is also discussed.

Culture governs a group's way of life that is passed from one generation to the next. It shapes what people make, think, value, and do to ensure their existence. It influences what we think is appropriate, what we eat, drink, wear, what we believe and much more. Culture is simple yet complex. It is static yet dynamic. Each generation acts upon it, causing modifications, even though the basic components such as language, religious practices, and system of government usually resist significant change. Like a river, culture has many sources [1,2]. Given the dynamic nature of culture, this article discusses an interpretation and reinterpretation of culture as the world moves into a modern era of globalization where cross-cultural exchanges are the norm. This paradigm shift creates a host of new challenges for organizations and mental health professionals as they seek to find new strategies to effectively address a new globalized world where self-expression, individualism and a re-invigorated awareness of interpersonal connection is upon us. This article seeks to address these issues and provide some strategies for effective cross-cultural awareness and mental health counseling.

Wraparound is a mental health services philosophy for children and adolescents. This philosophy includes a defined planning process that involves the child, adolescent, and family in making treatment decisions. As a result, it creates a unique set of individualized community services and natural supports to achieve multiple positive outcomes. This philosophy requires a work process that sometimes becomes uncomfortable for professionals in the mental health area since it takes us away from what we learned in the academy or what the agency we work expects us. This practice invites us to take off the hat of experts in our area of expertise. This article aims to present the Wraparound philosophy as an alternative for community mental health services at the tertiary prevention level for children and adolescents. Also, as an effective process in which communities learn to care for and protect their members by keeping them in the least restrictive environment.

Upon reading The Second Edition of The Bedford Glossary of Critical Literary Terms, I was surprised to find that many traditionally uncharted fields of exploration in literature are being given critical attention; postcolonial studies, race (and literary studies), queer theory, feminist criticism, cultural criticism, ecocriticism, disability criticism, and gender criticism have emerged and evolved tremendously in recent years [1]. We are living in Prospero’s “Brave New World” in which traditionally marginalized voices are being involved in the larger intellectual discussion. We’re addressing that making fun of the mute or mentally handicapped in literature is a microcosm of society’s larger prevailing attitudes towards the disabled. Likewise, we’re accessing how personifying Nature in literature can further the prevailing attitudes that Nature is merely a subservient means for men to use to preserve humans’ reflective image. Literature criticism has made great strides, but we still have much more room to grow because an essential question remains unaddressed: Why isn’t addiction criticism a clearly defined field of study in literature?
