Nursing students face numerous stresses and challenges that pose threat to their well-being. They require guidance in order to attain satisfactory adjustment in all aspects of daily life in this critical stage of their development. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the guidance needs of nursing students in selected schools in Iloilo City. The sample of this descriptive, comparative study consisted of 283 randomly selected students from four nursing schools in Iloilo City. The Guidance Needs Inventory for Nursing Students (GNINS) developed by the researchers was used to gather data. Frequency, mean, standard deviation, and rank were used to describe the data. Independent Samples t-Test and ANOVA set at 0.05 alpha were employed to find out significant differences between variables. The study revealed that nursing students need guidance to a moderate extent. They need more guidance on the aspects of career and academic. Further, results indicated no significant differences in the guidance needs of nursing students when grouped according to sex, gender, year level, residence, type of school, living arrangement, employment status of parents, monthly family income, number of siblings, birth order and type of family. Guidance remains to be an integral part of nursing education. Continued provision of guidance responsive and relevant to the needs of nursing student cohort is therefore necessary.

In particular, more experimental studies are needed to investigate between-group effects of HT on older adults
The document summarizes the results of a survey of 515 deans and directors of social work programs about their inclusion of international content in the curriculum. It finds that most programs offer either a specific international social work course (61% at the BSW level) or infuse international content into other required courses like policy and HBSE. Over half of programs provide opportunities for international field placements and study abroad experiences for students. Respondents felt strongly that including international content is important for social work education.
The study surveyed residents at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) to assess their perceptions of working conditions during residency training. 109 residents responded. They reported unfavorable ratings across several components of their training program, including workload, working hours, work-life balance, income, accommodation, and overall working environment. Specifically, most residents worked over 80 hours per week and could not get enough sleep while on call. They also reported issues with their financial situation and residential facilities. The study aims to identify problems to help improve working conditions and well-being of trainees.
This study aimed to examine job-related stress among nurses working in critical care areas at BPKIHS hospital in Nepal. The main findings were that too high workload and staff shortages were the primary reasons for job dissatisfaction among nurses. Approximately half of nurses reported being satisfied with the nursing care they provided to patients. However, nurses were less satisfied with the evaluation system and limited promotion opportunities. The study recommended conducting larger studies, improving evaluation systems, providing more education programs, and addressing workload and staffing issues to help reduce stress levels among critical care nurses.
This document discusses conducting online surveys during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that the pandemic has greatly impacted research activities and led to an increase in COVID-19 publications. Online surveys are currently the most feasible way to safely gather data. Some advantages of online surveys include speed, reach, reduced costs, and flexibility, though there are also disadvantages like lower response rates. Ethical considerations for online surveys include obtaining informed consent, ensuring privacy and anonymity, and maintaining data quality. When conducted rigorously, online surveys can provide technically sound and ethically acceptable research methods, even during a pandemic.

1) The phrase "publish or perish" refers to the pressure on academics to continually publish research in scholarly journals in order to retain employment and get promoted.
2) This pressure comes from factors like recruitment criteria, institutional rankings, promotions, and funding that reward high publication output.
3) However, the pressure to publish has led to unintended consequences like declining research quality, misconduct, and stress for academics as it detracts from teaching duties. Possible remedies include balancing quality and quantity, fostering research integrity, and assessing journals' reputability.
This systematic review examined 17 peer-reviewed studies from 2006-2016 that measured nurses' preparedness for disaster response. The review found that previous disaster response experience and disaster-related training increased nurses' preparedness. However, most studies reported that nurses felt insufficiently prepared and not confident in their ability to effectively respond to disasters. The findings suggest that nurse educators and administrators should do more to prepare nurses through policies, training, and disaster simulation exercises.

Iain Chalmers argues that a significant amount of medical research is wasted due to issues such as:
1) Low priority questions being addressed instead of what matters most to clinicians and patients.
2) Many studies being poorly designed and not learning from existing evidence.
3) Important results from studies often not being published or reported, leading to bias.
He advocates for greater public involvement in setting research agendas and priorities to better align research with patient and clinician needs and reduce waste estimated at over $85 billion per year.

A Preliminary Exploration For The Benefits Of Neurofeedback Ppt[1]jcollin2
This pilot study investigated the effects of neurofeedback therapy using the Play Attention system on 6 male students aged 7-14 with ADHD. Students received neurofeedback sessions and were assessed before and after with the Connors' Continuous Performance Test II and Play Attention scores. Results were inconclusive as some students improved in attention, hyperactivity, and grades while others saw no change or declines. The small sample size, lack of control group, and other limitations prevented determining if neurofeedback was clearly beneficial. Larger controlled studies are needed to better understand neurofeedback's potential for helping children with ADHD.

This slide deck presents some of the insights gleaned from a data set in Ntrepid Corporation’s Timestream application that is an open-source collection of reported ISIS-linked activity in Yemen. The full case study is available: http://www.criticalthreats.org/yemen/exploring-isis-yemen-zimmerman-july-24-2015.
The Islamic State in Iraq and al Sham (ISIS) is attempting to expand its footprint in Yemen. ISIS declared an Islamic Caliphate on June 29, 2014, under the leadership of the new Caliph, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi. The return of the Caliphate under Baghdadi placed an obligation on all Muslims to pledge allegiance to him, according to ISIS. Al Qaeda broadly dismisses the legitimacy of the Caliphate under ISIS, and ISIS and al Qaeda are now in competition for the leadership of the global jihadist movement.
Al Qaeda’s Yemen-based affiliate, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), dominates the jihadist fight in the country and it remains the greatest direct threat to the United States from the al Qaeda network. AQAP leadership reaffirmed its allegiance to al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri in November 2014, publicly rejecting the legitimacy of the Islamic Caliphate. The 2015 collapse of the central Yemeni state created opportunities for AQAP to exploit, and the group is expanding its presence in Yemen.
The initial reaction to ISIS in Yemen was muted, but the group has begun to make inroads as the conflict there protracts. ISIS began claiming regular attacks in Yemen as of March 2015 and now operates in at least eight Yemeni governorates.

This is a template that MBA or undergraduate business students can use for case study presentations for class or case competitions. It's bare bones, meant to explain the flow of information and suggest some frameworks to use to discuss the problem in a case.
1. Resorts are classified according to location, activities offered, and ownership/lodging properties such as resort hotels, second-home developments, and timeshare ownership.
2. The resort planning process involves assessing the market and attractions, determining development objectives and site selection, and conducting environmental, economic, and financial feasibility analyses.
3. Resort development should be integrated with local communities and transportation networks, concentrate tourist facilities in tourism zones, and follow principles of land use zoning, conservation of natural features, and functional grouping of facilities.
This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and uptake of cervical cancer screening among female secondary school teachers in Osogbo, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 407 teachers using a questionnaire. Results showed high awareness of cervical cancer but low screening uptake of only 5.4%. Teachers with better knowledge had significantly higher screening uptake than those with lower knowledge. Those in polygamous relationships also had higher uptake than those in monogamous relationships. The study concluded that while awareness of cervical cancer was high, screening uptake remained low. Improving knowledge through education and making screening more accessible could help reduce morbidity and mortality from cervical cancer.

It discusses what is known about treating BPD in adolescence, including evidence for DBT, MBT, ERT, HYPE, and pharmacotherapy. It also summarizes results from RCTs comparing MBT to treatment as usual, finding that MBT was more effective in reducing self-harm, depression, BPD traits, and improving mentalization and attachment. The document considers whether BPD can be validly diagnosed in adolescence and reviews prevalence studies showing similar rates to adults.
This study examined smoking prevalence and factors among medical students in Slemani, Iraq. It found that 15.8% of students currently smoke, with males more likely to smoke than females. 43.3% of students had tried smoking at some point. Knowledge about smoking hazards was mixed, with over half unsure if cigarettes contain over 8000 chemicals or are the fastest way to deliver nicotine. The study recommends increasing education on smoking risks, banning smoking on campus, and providing smoking cessation counseling and support groups for students.

Most older adults surveyed (96%) were willing to have a proxy make decisions for them regarding participation in research studies, even if the research did not provide a direct benefit. Those with more favorable attitudes towards research were most likely to support proxy consent. While minority status was initially associated with less willingness, this effect disappeared when accounting for attitudes towards research. The findings suggest policies should allow proxies flexibility in decision making rather than strictly adhering to a subject's past preferences.
This study examined the relationship between traumatic experiences and PTSD in HIV-positive adults in Cape Town. The study found that sexual assault and exposure to trauma in a war zone were significantly associated with PTSD. Those exposed to sexual assault had 10 times greater odds of a PTSD diagnosis, while exposure to war zone trauma led to 6.9 times greater odds. Overall, participants reported very high rates of exposure to traumatic events. The study highlights the need to address mental health in HIV care and conceptualize HIV/AIDS healthcare with a biopsychosocial model to address the high burden of trauma and mental illness.
This study investigated occupational stress and related factors among 422 nursing and midwifery personnel in Zahedan training hospitals in Iran in 2016. The mean occupational stress score was 114.45 ± 16.16. 4% reported moderate stress, 79.6% reported normal stress, and 16.4% reported no stress. Marital status was significantly related to occupational stress, with divorced individuals reporting higher stress. There were no significant relationships between occupational stress and age, gender, education, work experience, job position, ward, or employment status. The highest stress domain was support from managers, and the lowest was role. Overall stress levels were relatively favorable, though support from managers could be improved to reduce stress.
This document discusses various epidemiological study designs used to assess health outcomes and answer clinical questions. It begins by outlining the 6 D's of health outcomes - death, disease, discomfort, disability, dissatisfaction, and destitution. It then describes key clinical questions and types of epidemiological studies including descriptive studies, analytical observational studies, and experimental/interventional studies. Descriptive studies involve systematically collecting and presenting data to describe a situation, while analytical studies aim to establish causes or risk factors by comparing groups. Specific analytical study designs covered include case-control studies, cohort studies, and randomized controlled trials.

This document summarizes research on early interventions for autism spectrum disorder. It finds that comprehensive interventions delivering many hours per week can improve cognitive outcomes in young children. However, replications of original studies often do not find significant effects. The most effective interventions focus on improving core deficits in social communication and restricted behaviors through teaching approaches like joint attention, symbolic play, and engagement. The Joint Attention, Symbolic Play, Engagement, and Regulation (JASPER) method shows promise in improving these skills when delivered by therapists, teachers, and parents. However, deployment and sustainability of interventions in communities remains a challenge. Nonverbal school-aged children are underserved and may require different approaches than younger preverbal children.
The Maltreatment and Adolescent Pathways (MAP) Research StudyChristine Wekerle
This document summarizes research from the Maltreatment and Adolescent Pathways (MAP) study on trauma experiences of youth involved with child protection services. The study found high rates of different types of trauma among youth in group homes, with 65% reporting experiences all 5 types of maltreatment measured. Trauma symptoms like anxiety, depression and dissociation were common, though rates decreased over time for some youth. Traumatic experiences were correlated with trauma reactions for some youth. The findings support the need for regular, longitudinal trauma-informed assessments of youth and trauma-informed services. Key areas in need of attention are male child sexual abuse, impacts of intimate partner violence exposure, and adolescent dating violence.
Patient Comprehension of FDA-Approved Medication GuidesAllison Russell
1) The study assessed 227 FDA-approved Medication Guides to evaluate their readability, suitability, and patients' ability to understand them. It found the average reading level was 10th-11th grade.
2) A survey of 449 patients found they scored an average of 53% on comprehension questions about 3 Medication Guides. Comprehension was strongly linked to literacy level.
3) The study concludes Medication Guides in their current form are failing to convey important risk information to patients and reforms are needed to make them more readable and patient-centered.
Evidence to Decision tables – 11th CE&B's research day presentationCarlos Cuello
The document describes a case study using an evidence to decision (EtD) framework to develop clinical practice guidelines on the prevention of allergic diseases. An international panel used the EtD framework to evaluate evidence and make judgements on whether probiotics should be used in pregnant women. The panel determined that the evidence of a reduction in eczema was of very low certainty. While desirable effects were considered somewhat to moderately important, undesirable effects were considered minor. The panel concluded that the desirable effects probably outweigh the undesirable effects. Resource requirements were considered moderate, varying by setting and insurance.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
