Effect of a rehabilitation skill program using resistance bands on biokinetic variables in volleyball players with disabilities
Authors: Ibrahim Reem Salam
Published: May 2023

To achieve high level of performance in sports games and events, all aspects, including the motor, tactical, psychological and skill performance of the players must be integrated and improved. Rubber bands play an important role in player rehabilitation to speed up muscle recovery in a good way. The aim of the study was to prepare a rehabilitation skill program using rubber bands to develop the preparation skills and biokinetic variables for volleyball players with disabilities in wheelchairs. The experimental method was used in one of its basic designs which is the design of the two equivalent groups, this due to the suitability of this design to the nature of the research problem. The research sample was chosen by a comprehensive inventory method and consisted of 18 disabled volleyball players of Babylon governorate for the 2021 season. The sample was divided into two groups, the experimental group and the control group, with 9 players for each group. A rehabilitative skill program was prepared using rubber bands on the experimental group for a period of eight weeks, with three training units per week. Data were analyzed based on arithmetic means, standard deviations and t-test. As a result, statistically significant differences were found between the pre-test and post-test of the experimental group and the control group for all study variables, in favor of the post-test for both groups (p<0.05). In conclusion, the rehabiliation skill program using rubber bands has a positive effect on the development of the preparation skills and biokinetic variables for volleyball players with disabilities in wheelchairs.

The aim of the present study was to analyze the physical preparation of the Ecuadorian champion of pole vault Dyander Pacho in 2020/2021. We applied analytical-descriptive statistical methods of a quantitative nature, analyzing the exercises applied in the 2020 and 2021 planning. Better results were found in the year 2021 (48.08) than in the year 2020 (43.76), although this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.167). These results allowed us to conclude that the physical work program by itself does not significantly improve the pole vault, making necessary to carry out a complete work for the athlete.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la preparación física del campeón ecuatoriano de salto con pértiga Dyander Pacho en 2020/2021. Se aplicaron métodos estadísticos analítico-descriptivo de carácter cuantitativo, analizando los ejercicios aplicados en la planificación 2020 y 2021. Se encontraron mejores resultados en el año 2021 (48,08) que en el año 2020 (43,76), aunque esta diferencia no fue estadísticamente significativa (p = 0.167). Estos resultados permitieron concluir que el programa de trabajo físico por sí solo no mejora significativamente el salto con pértiga, siendo necesario llevar a cabo un trabajo completo para el deportista.

The aim of this study was to identify the main contemporary global trends of choreographic art at the beginning of the XXI century and illustrate the practical aspects of existing trends in world choreography through a questionnaire survey. This practical study was conducted through an online questionnaire survey among 52 acting choreographers, members of the National Choreographic Union of Ukraine, 92 students of the Faculty of Choreographic Arts of the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts, and 34 scholars in the field of art history conducting research work within the activities of choreographic art of Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts. Based on the study results, the main features of modern choreography according to the respondents were: improvisation in dance forms; synthesis of ballet tradition with dance innovations; the latest forms of interaction between choreography and other art forms, including synthesis, symbiosis, concentration, and transfer; synthesis of all genres of choreographic art; combination of other art forms (fine arts, theater, and cinema). The respondents were of the opinion that the understanding and use in the choreographic activities of the XXI century person image are designed, not only to have a mutual influence on the elements of socio-cultural space of different countries, but also to determine the trends of future social transformations. Also, choreographic art spreads a new social content in the created human choreographic images of the XXI century due to the specific features of the choreographic manner. In conclusion, contemporary choreographic art is a striking combination of different dance techniques and traditions. Careful research and analysis of this field will contribute to the formation and development of new forms of dance art in the future.

Écologie et technologie dans les fictions d’épidémie : l’Afrique du futur entre dystopie et utopie chez Paul McAuley, Lauren Beukes, Deon Meyer et Namwali Serpell
Authors: Cassinadri Francesca
Published: May 2023

Deux imaginaires nourrissent souvent les fictions du futur : la catastrophe écologique et le développement des (bio)technologies. La réalité épidémique surgit précisément à la croisée de ces deux dimensions, permettant l’exploration d’un avenir tantôt utopique tantôt dystopique. C’est sur quatre de ces possibles futurs africains que se penchent les romans du vingt-et-unième siècle étudiés dans le présent article : Les Diables blancs (2004) du Britannique Paul McAuley, Moxyland (2008) de la Sud-Africaine Lauren Beukes, L’Année du lion (2016) de son compatriote Deon Meyer et Mustiks : une odyssée en Zambie (2019) de la Zambienne Namwali Serpell.
L’Afrique au risque de la fiction : représentations de la menace djihadiste chez Jean-Marc Ligny, Deji Bryce Olukotun et Gavin Chait
Authors: Dell’Aira Vittoria
Published: May 2023

Cet article analyse quatre exemples distincts de fiction du djihad : Aqua de Jean-Marc Ligny ; After the Flare de Deji Bryce Olukotun ; Lament for the Fallen et Our Memory like Dust de Gavin Chait. À partir de lectures croisées de ces quatre romans, il interroge l’effort de la fiction pour saisir un avenir sur lequel pèse, entre autres, la menace djihadiste, qui porte en elle le risque d’une dystopie africaine. Il s’agit dès lors d’examiner les ressources convoquées par la fiction pour contrer le risque terroriste et son omniprésence médiatique et convertir peut-être la dystopie en utopie, en recourant au mécanisme de la rétrovolution ou de l’évasion spatiale.
Lueurs utopiques dans les dystopies climatiques africaines d’Ayerdhal, Jean-Marc Ligny, Wanuri Kahiu et Nick Wood
Authors: Hamza Khadr
Published: May 2023

Cet article compare les univers dystopiques imaginés par Ayerdhal dans Demain, une oasis, Jean-Marc Ligny dans AquaTM, Nick Wood dans Water Must Fall et Wanuri Kahiu dans Pumzi. Ces fictions climatiques décrivent des futurs africains marqués par des variations apocalyptiques autour de la désertification et de la pénurie d’eau. Elles activent des images afropessimistes pour mettre en scène des contextes dystopiques, propices à l’oppression des populations locales et à la spoliation des ressources naturelles du continent. Les auteurs n’en ménagent pas moins, dans chacun de ces futurs cauchemardesques, des perspectives de mondes nouveaux portant des espérances utopiques. Celles-ci émergent des mouvements de résistance locaux qui esquissent, souvent à travers des figures féminines, les promesses d’un avenir différent : la possibilité d’Afriques alternatives, émancipées et ambitieuses qui entendent forger de nouveaux récits et des réponses originales à la demande d’avenir du continent.
Une « soif de lendemain » : le futur dans le premier théâtre de Sony Labou Tansi
Authors: Gahungu Céline
Published: May 2023

Entre 1971 et 1974, Sony Labou Tansi propose quatre pièces d’anticipation au comité de lecture du Concours théâtral interafricain : Le Bombardé (1971), Le Ventre (1972), Conscience de tracteur (1973) et La Gueule de rechange (1974). Ce corpus se fonde sur des projections temporelles relativement proches du présent de l’écriture ; les intrigues s’y déploient, en effet, dans un xxe siècle finissant. À un futur polarisé par la seconde moitié des années 1990 s’ajoute une seconde particularité, liée à la question de « l’afrotopisme » (Anthony Mangeon, 2022). Selon des modalités variées, les quatre pièces évoquent l’avènement d’une humanité nouvelle, tournée vers un avenir à penser et à construire. Afin de cerner les caractéristiques et les enjeux de ce théâtre d’anticipation, une formule utilisée dans l’« Épilogue » du Bombardé organise la réflexion du présent article : une inextinguible « soif de lendemain » y est exprimée.
C. S. Peirce’s Semiotic and Mathematical Conception of Economics
Authors: Wible James
Published: May 2023

C. S. Peirce had a keen interest in the most mathematical economics of his era. We know that Peirce read and wrote about the mathematical economics of Cournot and Jevons and at least mentions the names of Ricardo, Marshall, and Walras. Peirce also provided a mathematical, optimizing model of the insurance firm as his most elaborate example of pragmatism in the Harvard Lectures of 1903. What is significant is that Peirce chose economic examples to illustrate what is really a semiotic and mathematical conception of pragmatism. Diagrams and semiotics play a central role in Peirce’s philosophy of mathematics. Just a few years ago, Carsten Herrmann-Pillath authored a long treatise on evolutionary economics with Peirce’s semiotics as a central aspect of that work. Additionally, Herrmann-Pillath makes significant use of diagrams and equations from various scientific disciplines. Diagrams are a central feature of Herrmann-Pillath’s treatise giving it something of a Peircean, qualitative mathematical character. These similarities and differences between Peirce and Herrmann-Pillath on semiotics, economics, mathematics, and evolutionary processes are quite novel and thus of intrinsic interest.
L’engagement des jeunes sortant de placement dans la défense de leurs droits au sein de regroupements d’anciens placés
Authors: Lacroix Isabelle , Leclair Mallette Isabelle-Ann , Vargas Diaz Rosita
Published: May 2023

La transition vers l’âge adulte est un défi majeur pour les jeunes qui quittent le système de protection en France et au Québec à l’atteinte de leur majorité. Ils ont peu de réseaux et de ressources pour les accompagner dans cette transition et, dans ce scénario, les regroupements d’anciens placés sont essentiels pour soutenir ce processus. Ces regroupements ont pour fonction de porter conseil et assistance à ceux qui s’adressent à eux, en plus de représenter les jeunes placés auprès des pouvoirs publics. Peu de travaux francophones éclairent la mobilisation autonome des jeunes par le biais de regroupements les représentant. L’objectif de l’article est de regarder ce que produisent ces regroupements d’entraide sur les individus engagés. Il s’appuie sur des entrevues menées auprès de 20 jeunes Québécois et 23 jeunes Français impliqués dans de tels regroupements. Nous avons remarqué que, par l’engagement, ils construisent quatre types de ressources qui favorisent leur entrée dans la vie adulte : l’entraide, un réseau social soutenant, une socialisation citoyenne et une mobilisation autour des droits des anciens placés. Ces jeunes utilisent le droit comme un moyen de transformation sociale et dans leur répertoire d’actions, favorisant l’accès aux droits des jeunes sortant du système et la capacité à prendre la parole dans l’espace public.
Surreprésentation de jeunes sous la LSJPA
Authors: Jimenez Estibaliz
Published: May 2023

Les jeunes issus des communautés ethnoculturelles sont surreprésentés sous la Loi sur le système de justice pénale pour adolescents (LSJPA). Les intervenants à la Direction de la protection de la jeunesse (DPJ) ainsi que les différents acteurs au sein du système pénal pour jeunes contrevenants doivent composer avec des clientèles de plus en plus diversifiées sur le plan ethnoculturel et être sensibles à la question migratoire, aux identités ethnoculturelles et aux trajectoires de vie différentielles vécues par cette clientèle. Le besoin s’impose également de bien comprendre le vécu et la réalité propres à cette population qui représente la majorité des jeunes contrevenants placés dans les unités de garde fermées. À partir de la perception et des expériences des jeunes, de leurs parents, ainsi que des acteurs de la DPJ et du système pénal juvénile (n = 46), cette contribution porte sur le phénomène des jeunes contrevenants issus de l’immigration faisant l’objet de peines privatives de liberté, tel qu’il se vit au Québec, plus précisément au Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal (CCSMTL). Afin de mieux cerner leur processus migratoire et d’intégration au Québec, nous avons utilisé le modèle d’acculturation de Berry et ses stratégies acculturatives au pays d’accueil. Or, à la différence des recherches antérieures portant sur le processus d’acculturation en lien avec la délinquance, nos résultats ne permettent pas de confirmer l’assimilationau pays d’accueil, rejetant la culture d’origine, comme étant la stratégie adoptée par les jeunes contrevenants issus de l’immigration. Au contraire, les jeunes semblent majoritairementintégrésau Québec, s’adaptant autant à la culture d’origine qu’à la culture d’accueil. En contrepartie, c’est notamment l’hypothèse d’écart d’acculturationentre les différents membres de la même famille qui semble avoir un impact chez les jeunes contrevenants issus de l’immigration. De plus, les résultats de la recherche sur le terrain permettent de dégager des facteurs de vulnérabilité ou de risque à la délinquance spécifiques aux jeunes issus de l’immigration, facteurs dont il faudrait tenir compte lors d’une intervention culturellement adaptée auprès de ces jeunes et de leur famille.
The dentition of Omalodontiformes, the order of unusual Devonian stem-chondrichthyans
Authors: Ginter Michał
Published: May 2023

The early chondrichthyan order Omalodontiformes from the late Early Devonian through to the Late Devonian is characterised by specific teeth. Unlike in most Devonian sharks, their bases are directed labially or are reduced and devoid of labial or lingual extensions. In this paper the complex history of investigation on the dermal skeleton of omalodontiforms is presented and the validity of the established taxa is revised. The dentition of an Emsian representative of this group, known from a single articulated specimen (NMBG 10127) and several isolated fin spines from Canada and previously, probably incorrectly, attributed to Doliodus, is distinctly heterodont. The nature of this heterodonty suggests that the two omalodontiform tooth-based genera described originally from the Middle/Upper Devonian Aztec Siltstone (Antarctica), viz. Portalodus and Anareodus, are in fact congeneric as their teeth represent different parts of the same jaw. Because the teeth of the Canadian specimen differ in important aspects from those of typical Doliodus and are generally similar to those of Portalodus, it probably should be placed in a new genus. Also, the validity of the distinction between Portalodus bradshawae and P. mannoliniae is considered questionable.

Published: May 2023

Циљ овог рада био је да испитамо да ли постоји повезаност између приступа учењу и циљних оријентација у учењу код ученика завршних разреда основне школе. Наша главна хипотеза гласила је да постоји повезаност између приступа учењу и циљних оријента- ција у учењу код ученика завршних разреда основне школе. Узорак истраживања чинили су ученици седмих, осмих и деветих разреда са подручја Сарајевско-романијске регије. На основу добијених резулта- та истраживања добили смо повезаност између приступа учењу код ученика и циљних оријентација у учењу. Ученици који у свом учењу ко- ристе дубински приступ учењу показују високу позитивну корелацију са овладавајућом циљном оријентацијом. Корелација дубинског при- ступа учењу са изведбено-избјегавајућом циљном оријентацијом је не-гативна, а са изведбено-потврђујућом је ниска и негативана. Ученици са површинским приступом учењу показују високу позитивну повеза- ност са изведбено-избјегавајућом циљном оријентацијом. Корелација између површинског приступа и изведбено-потврђујуће циљне оријента- ције и овладавајуће циљне оријентације је јако ниска и готово да и не постоји, с тим да је са изведбено-потврђујућом позитивна а са овладавајућом оријентацијом негативна. Из добијених резултата можемо закључити да дубински приступ учењу прати овладавајућу циљну оријентацију и да се у таквим ситуацијама ради о ученицима који желе да овладају садржајима на прави начин како би проширили своја знања.
НЕТИПИЧИНЕ ПАСИВНЕ КОНСТРУКЦИЈЕ У ГРАМАТИЧКИМ УЏБЕНИЦИМА ЕНГЛЕСКОГ ЈЕЗИКА
Authors: Кујунџић Маја Р.
Published: May 2023

Од традиционалних, све до савремених граматика енглеског јези- ка, пасивна конструкција представљана је у нераскидивој трансформа- ционој вези са њој одговарајућим еквивалентом у активу. Као посље- дица таквог начина дефинисања пасива, све оне конструкције које својом формом и значењем подсјећају на ову конструкцију, а чија је трансформациона веза са одговарајућим еквиваленитима у активу компликoвана, или пак непостојећа, неправдено су занемарене у гра- матичким описима пасива. У традиционалним и већини савремених граматика енглеског језика атипичне пасиви најчешће нису уврште- ни у основне класификације ове конструкције. Граматичари су их узгредно спомињали, само наводећи да такви облици постоје. Ово је резултирало њиховом маргинализацијом, па самим тим и недовољним познавањем таквих глаголских облика. Овакав третман нетипичних пасива може се избјећи тако што трансформациони критериј неће бити представљен као главни и основни критериј за постојање па- сивних конструкција. Пасивна конструкција ће, на овај начин, добити извјесни степен независности, а њени нетипични облици више пажње и простора у граматичким описима ове конструкције. Циљ овог рада је да покаже на који начин и у којој мјери су нетипични облици пасива третирани у граматичкој литератури, те да укаже на битност све- обухватнијег третмана пасивне конструкције.

Published: May 2023

The impact of psychosocial factors on quality of life remains the subjects of considerable research globally. Thus, this study investigated the influence of psychosocial factors on quality of life among in-school adolescents in Oriade Local Government Area, of Osun State, Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive research design of survey type and was conducted in three purposively selected senior secondary schools in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, Nigeria. The population of the study consists of 4,669 in-school adolescents. Slovin’s formula was used to select 369 in-school adolescents from the population. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire consisting of 89 items. Three hypotheses were formulated and multiple regression analysis was used to analyse the data collected. Results show that sleep quality, social media addiction and family relationship jointly predicted quality of life (QoL) among in-school adolescents (F(3,363) = 156.182; p.01). The researchers recommended that both parents and teachers should assist in-school adolescents to improve their sleep quality and family relationship in other to maintain their QoL.

Published: May 2023

This study aims to determine the understanding of prospective Hajj health workers regarding physical exercise and performance from the aspects of cardio-respiration, BMI, fat percentage, and body age. This research is mixed methods research that combines quantitative and qualitative approaches with a transformative design strategy. The population of this study were all prospective Hajj health workers in the city of Yogyakarta. The sample used in this study were 31 people. The data collection technique used is observation, written release. Performance data obtained through the Rockport test, BMI, body fat percentage, and age. Qualitative data analysis was carried out through interactive analysis in the form of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and finally drawing conclusions. Quantitative data analysis uses the average rating to find out the average performance level of prospective haj health workers. shows that the understanding of physical exercise in prospective Hajj health workers increases (from not knowing to knowing). Most of the haj health workers understand more about material on measuring physical fitness, steps of physical exercise, principles of exercise, models of physical exercise, and physical training programs for preparation for hajj. The results of the performance of prospective health workers, there are 71% in the average category based on cardiorespiratory, 48.4% are overweight based on BMI, 61.3% are categorized as normal based on fat percentage, and 71% are in the elderly category based on body age. An understanding of the physical development and performance of prospective Hajj health workers must be prepared and improved in stages, because Hajj health workers do not only work while in Mecca and Medina, but also during preparation for health and fitness coaching.
Adaptive biasing of action-selective cortical build-up activity by choice history
Authors: Braun A. , Donner T.H.
Published: May 2023

Decisions under uncertainty are often biased by the history of preceding sensory input, behavioral choices, or received outcomes. Behavioral studies of perceptual decisions suggest that such history-dependent biases affect the accumulation of evidence and can be adapted to the correlation structure of the sensory environment. Here, we systematically varied this correlation structure while human participants performed a canonical perceptual choice task. We tracked the trial-by-trial variations of history biases via behavioral modeling and of a neural signature of decision formation via magnetoencephalography (MEG). The history bias was flexibly adapted to the environment. The bias exerted a selective effect on the build-up (not baseline level) of action-selective motor cortical activity during decision formation, which added to the impact of the current stimulus. We conclude that the build-up of action plans in human motor cortical circuits is shaped by dynamic prior expectations that result from an adaptive interaction with the environment.

Vacunas, certificados COVID y control de fronteras: reflexiones en torno al caso Djokovic
Authors: García Ruiz Leopoldo
Published: May 2023

Tomando como referencia el caso Djokovic, el texto cuestiona la legitimidad de la vacunación contra la COVID-19 como medida de control de fronteras. Las circunstancias que justificarían la obligatoriedad de una vacuna solo se dan parcialmente aquí, de ahí que deba primar el derecho humano a no recibir un tratamiento médico involuntario. Mientras se prolongue la pandemia es razonable que los Gobiernos pidan certificados para acceder a ciertos lugares o servicios, o que nieguen temporalmente la entrada en sus países a quienes no acrediten estar inmunizados. No lo es, en cambio, que se remitan solo a la vacunación. El caso Djokovic resulta un abuso en ese sentido, e ilustra el enaltecimiento de la seguridad frente a la libertad que parece imponerse desde hace un tiempo en nuestras sociedades.

Aim: To make profiling of the prevalence of overweight and obesity among medical students in Indonesia through a literature search on previous scientific publications in the internet, then creating a map showing the spread of this silent epidemic among medical students.

Methodology: Simple internet based literature study cross sectionally search for previous published scientific articles available only on the internet, regarding overweight or obesity among medical students from different faculty of medicine in Indonesia. This study conducted from January to March 2023. Using famous search engine, Google™, we type several keywords regarding overweight and obesity among medical students in Indonesia.

Results and Discussion: Data from 29 published articles obtained electronically. The mean percentage of overweight and obese students is 35.5% and found in both public or private medical schools; where private schools have a slightly higher mean percentage of prevalence than the public ones. Even though there are 92 medical schools across Indonesia, it turns out that not all have such data uploaded to the internet. From the health communication perspective, this is also barriers that must be overcome.

Conclusion: Overweight and obesity among medical students of Indonesia is a real problem that must be managed properly in order to ensure that, these students stay healthy, can complete their education and then become doctors who serve the community.

A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2017 at the Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. The seven treatments comprising of four doses of sulfentrazone (180, 360, 540 and 720 g/ha), application of pendimethalin (750 g/ha) as pre emergence, hand weeding twice at 20 and 40 days after sowing (DAS) including weedy check, were laid out in randomized block design with 3 replications. Results revealed that, Echinochloa colona (28.24%) was the dominant weed species closely followed by Commelina communis (24.42%). However, other monocot weed like Cyperus rotundus (15.56%) and dicots like Phyllanthus niruri (19.34%) and Euphorbia hirta (12.44%) were also found associated with soybean in less numbers. Application of T4- sulfentrazone at 720 g/ha as pre emergence arrested the weed growth remarkably and proved superior to its lower dose (180 g/ha) and application of pendimethalin 750 g/ha. The poor crop-weed competition due to effective control of weeds under this treatment resulted in higher weed control efficiency. Pre-emergence application of T4- sulfentrazone at 720 g/ha recorded maximum grain yield and was at par with other individual herbicides. Similarly, higher net returns and benefit: cost ratio were recorded in T4- sulfentrazone at 720 g/ha fb T3- sulfentrazone at 540 g/ha. It may be inferred from the present investigation that these herbicidal treatments could be used effectively as an alternative for controlling weeds and obtaining optimum seed yield of soybean.

Published: May 2023

The study developed and validated Learning Activity Packets (LAPs) for Personal Development. The LAPs contain lessons based on the most essential learning competencies (MELCS). The following are provided for in every lesson: learning competencies and objectives, background information for learners, activities, rubric and guide questions (if needed), reflection, assessment, references and answer key. The Research and Development (R & D) method was employed. The following steps were followed: 1) preliminary preparation; 2) detailed writing specifications; 3) writing the LAPs; 4) preparation for the initial draft of the LAPs; 5) validation of the LAPs to panel of experts; 6) revision of the LAPs based from the evaluators’ comments and suggestions; and 7) final production of the LAPs. Data were gathered using two instruments namely: a) survey checklist on the least mastered competencies of Personal Development which served as the basis for the development of learning activity packets (LAPs) in Personal Development; and b) validation scale to determine the validity of the learning activity packets in terms of competencies, content, instructional qualities and assessment. The validity of the LAPs was determined using the weighted mean. The results revealed that the LAPs for teaching Personal Development in senior high school met the requirements for developing instructional materials as manifested by the overall mean of 3.70 with descriptive interpretation as highly valid. The Learning Activity Packets for Personal Development is recommended for use and to further validate and determine its effectiveness, and so that it can be further revised and refined. Similar research is recommended to continue the development of learning activity packets in other grade levels in the Araling Panlipunan curriculum and senior high school subjects.

Importance

Quality of life (QOL) of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is reported to be the lowest among skin diseases. To our knowledge, mindfulness and self-compassion training has not been evaluated for adults with AD.

Objective

To evaluate the efficacy of mindfulness and self-compassion training in improving the QOL for adults with AD.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This randomized clinical trial conducted from March 2019 through October 2022 included adults with AD whose Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score, a skin disease–specific QOL measure, was greater than 6 (corresponding to moderate or greater impairment). Participants were recruited from multiple outpatient institutes in Japan and through the study’s social media outlets and website.

Interventions

Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive eight 90-minute weekly group sessions of online mindfulness and self-compassion training or to a waiting list. Both groups were allowed to receive any dermatologic treatment except dupilumab.

Main Outcomes and Measures

The primary outcome was the change in the DLQI score from baseline to week 13. Secondary outcomes included eczema severity, itch- and scratching-related visual analog scales, self-compassion and all of its subscales, mindfulness, psychological symptoms, and participants’ adherence to dermatologist-advised treatments.

Results

The study randomized 107 adults to the intervention group (n = 56) or the waiting list (n = 51). The overall participant mean (SD) age was 36.3 (10.5) years, 85 (79.4%) were women, and the mean (SD) AD duration was 26.6 (11.7) years. Among participants from the intervention group, 55 (98.2%) attended 6 or more of the 8 sessions, and 105 of all participants (98.1%) completed the assessment at 13 weeks. The intervention group demonstrated greater improvement in the DLQI score at 13 weeks (between-group difference estimate, −6.34; 95% CI, −8.27 to −4.41; P < .001). The standardized effect size (Cohen d) at 13 weeks was −1.06 (95% CI, −1.39 to −0.74). All secondary outcomes showed greater improvements in the intervention group than in the waiting list group.

Conclusions and Relevance

In this randomized clinical trial of adults with AD, integrated online mindfulness and self-compassion training in addition to usual care resulted in greater improvement in skin disease–specific QOL and other patient-reported outcomes, including eczema severity. These findings suggest that mindfulness and self-compassion training is an effective treatment option for adults with AD.
