Social isolation has been shown to contribute to negative health outcomes. Within a Chinese cultural context where people highly value social relationships, family caregivers of people with severe mental illness are prone to experience social isolation due to demanding caregiving tasks and prevalent social stigma. However, an instrument that could comprehensively measure social isolation in Chinese family caregivers is lacking. The six-item Friendship Scale was designed to measure social isolation but it has not previously been validated for use in the Chinese context. This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Friendship Scale – Chinese version (FS-C) in family caregivers of people with severe mental illness (SMI) (N = 200). Confirmatory factor analysis affirmed FS-C's single-factor structure. FS-C demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.74) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.72). Convergent validity was supported by moderate to strong correlations with social networks (r = 0.342, p < 0.01) and loneliness (r = −0.608, p < 0.01). Divergent validity was confirmed by a weak correlation with perceived social stigma (r = −0.190, p < 0.01). FS-C is a reliable and valid tool for assessing social isolation among Chinese family caregivers of people with SMI.

This qualitative study aims to explore healthcare professionals' (HCPs) perceptions of facilitators and barriers in their collaboration with family caregivers in forensic mental health care (FMHC). A thematic analysis resulted in two interrelated themes: (1): Organizational constraints, with subthemes Resource-driven time and staffing constraints, Duty of confidentiality, and External substance use treatment, and (2) Collaboration with family caregivers, with subthemes Alliance in collaboration, and Overinvolvement. The findings show that HCPs prefer family caregivers to support care and treatment, reflecting a unilateral direction of support.
Relevance statement
Family caregivers of service users in forensic mental health care settings are burdened by the service user's mental illness, offense(s) and difficult collaboration with health care professionals, including nurses. However, the involvement and support of family caregivers in mental healthcare is a national and international objective in policy papers and guidelines because it has been documented to foster the recovery process of service users. Healthcare professionals' perceptions regarding facilitators and barriers in relation to the involvement of family caregivers in the care and treatment of the service user, is needed for the healthcare professionals for optimal support of the service user and family caregivers.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is among the most common psychiatric conditions affecting school-aged children, marked by diverse levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Mindfulness-based training intervention throughout childhood enhances those symptoms, improving emotional regulation and well-being, hence improving their quality of life.
Aim
To investigate the effects of mindfulness-based training on attention, impulsivity, and emotional regulation among children diagnosed with ADHD.
Design
A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was used to carry out this study.
Setting
This study was conducted at the outpatient Medical National Institute in Damanhur. The subjects were 60 children and their parents for the control and study groups (30 in each group).
Tools
Researchers used three tools to collect the necessary data: Tool I, A Socio-demographic and Academic Data Questionnaire; Tool II, the Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale (VADPRS); and Tool III, The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire.
Results
The difference in the level of attention, impulsivity, and emotional regulation between the study and control groups after the mindfulness-based training intervention was statistically significant.
Conclusion
Mindfulness-based interventions are effective in improving inattention, impulsivity, and emotional regulation among children with ADHD and increasing their performance in all activities. Recommendations: Health care professionals should consider incorporating mindfulness-based techniques into standard treatment protocols for children with ADHD. Families should be educated about the benefits of mindfulness as family involvement appears to strengthen the effectiveness of these interventions. These programs should be accessible in schools, community centers, and therapeutic settings to guarantee general distribution.

Background
An important element of self-management strategies for people with bipolar disorder is adapting their lifestyle to their condition, since this improves their quality of life. However, not all people with bipolar disorder succeed in lifestyle adaptation. Knowledge about their lived experience with adaptation would enhance understanding about how healthcare providers optimize support.
Research question
What is the lived experience of people with bipolar disorder with adapting their lifestyle to their condition?
Method
A qualitative, descriptive phenomenological design was used. Individual, open interviews were conducted with 16 people with bipolar disorder. The data were analyzed according to the seven-stage process by Colaizzi.
Findings
Three main themes were identified: (1) struggling to adapt lifestyle; (2) mixed feelings about lifestyle adaptation; and (3) supporting lifestyle adaptation.
Conclusion
Participants reported that adapting their lifestyle to bipolar disorder is a struggle. Adaptation is influenced by factors such as the fluctuating nature of the disorder and differing levels of experiential knowledge and can evoke both positive and negative feelings. Lifestyle adaptation is also interrelated with other strategies for staying well, such as accepting the diagnosis and being open with others. It can be enhanced by support from other people and by making use of practical tools.
Recommendations
Healthcare providers should support people adapting their lifestyle to bipolar disorder by being attentive to the interrelatedness of lifestyle aspects and other strategies for staying well with bipolar disorder.

Objective
The research aims to understand the factors influencing nursing students' attitudes towards the LGBTI community, given the importance of culturally competent and inclusive care in healthcare.
Method
A descriptive and relationship-seeking design was used. The study was completed by 386 nursing students. Data were collected with “Personal Information Form, LGBTI Attitude Scale (LGBTI-AS) and Toronto Empathy Scale (TEQ)”. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to identify predictors of attitudes towards LGBTI individuals among nursing students.
Results
The total mean score of the Awareness to LGBTI Attitude Scale was 2.47 ± 1.0 (moderate attitudes). The findings revealed that female students and senior nursing students exhibited more positive attitudes, while those with friendships with LGBTI individuals and higher empathy levels showed greater acceptance and understanding towards the LGBTI community (p < 0.001). The results showed that 22 % of the total variance in the LGBTI attitude could be explained in model 3 (F = 27.43, R2 variation = 0.224, p = 0.001).
Conclusion
The study highlights the importance of integrating LGBTI-related content into nursing curricula and promoting empathy-building activities. These findings underscore the significance of empathy in shaping positive attitudes and emphasize the need for comprehensive educational strategies to promote inclusivity in healthcare.

This study elucidated mental health changes in 39 nurses in Fukushima Prefecture one to two years after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms improved, but posttraumatic negative cognitions worsened significantly. Factors including stress during the disaster, nursing-related stressors, and lack of disaster nursing experience contributed to negative cognitions. However, higher resilience and social support were associated with fewer negative cognitions. The complexity and uniqueness of radiation disasters may have influenced the nurses' negative thoughts. To address these issues, hospital administrators should reduce occupational stress, provide flexibility in work choices during disasters, and offer organizational support for nurses.

Objectives
Adolescence is defined as the transition period from childhood to adulthood. The present study aimed to examine the relationship between health promotion behavior and game addiction in a sample of Turkish adolescents.
Methods
The sample consisted of 340 adolescents aged 10–14 years (50.70 % boys). We collected the data using the ‘Adolescent Health Promotion Scale’ and ‘Adolescent Game Addiction Scale’ (Short Form).
Results
It was determined that 87.3 % of the adolescents played digital games. Adolescents with chronic diseases and poor health status had higher digital game addiction scale scores (p < 0.05). There is a significant difference between health promotion behaviors of adolescents according to age, mother's education level, income level, health perception, and duration of playing digital games (p < 0.05). There is a significant difference between the mean scores of adolescents' game addiction scale and life appreciation (p < 0.01), health responsibility (rSpearman = −0.290, p < 0.01), exercise (rSpearman = −0.154, p < 0.01), stress management (rSpearman = −0.122, p < 0.01), nutrition sub-dimension (rSpearman = −0.200, p < 0.01) and total mean scores (rSpearman = −0.257, p < 0.01). The results of the regression analysis showed that the adolescent's health promotion behaviors predicted digital game addiction (p < 0.01). In terms of self-esteem in children, only the health responsibility of the adolescents was a significant predictor (p < 0.01).
Conclusion

Adolescents with chronic diseases and poor health status had higher digital game addiction scale scores (<em>p</em> < 0.05). There is a significant difference between health promotion behaviors of adolescents according to age, mother's education level, income level, health perception, and duration of playing digital games (<em>p</em> < 0.05). There is a significant difference between the mean scores of adolescents' game addiction scale and life appreciation (<em>p</em> < 0.01), health responsibility (r<sub>Spearman</sub> = −0.290, <em>p</em> < 0.01), exercise (r<sub>Spearman</sub> = −0.154, <em>p</em> < 0.01), stress management (r<sub>Spearman</sub> = −0.122, <em>p</em> < 0.01), nutrition sub-dimension (r<sub>Spearman</sub> = −0.200, <em>p</em> < 0.01) and total mean scores (r<sub>Spearman</sub> = −0.257, <em>p</em> < 0.01). The results of the regression analysis showed that the adolescent's health promotion behaviors predicted digital game addiction (<em>p</em> < 0.01).
