Changing rate of urban creep and urban expansion over time and its impact upon the hydrologic response of a catchment
Authors: Mcdonnell Joseph , Motta Davide 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Most previous quantitative research conducted on urban creep and urban expansion has focused on small areas, short time periods, case studies with fairly uniform housing stock and demographic makeup, and the characterisation of urban creep and expansion exclusively in terms of impervious area changes without quantification of the consequential hydrological impact, i.e., increase in surface runoff volume and peak flows in a catchment. This study, using satellite imagery, catchment characteristics data, geographic information system and hydrologic modelling, presents, for the first time, a long-term analysis of urban creep and expansion. The case study is the Ouseburn catchment in Newcastle upon Tyne, a wide-ranging catchment made up of rural, suburban and urban areas, over a period of seven decades. The rate of increase of impervious surfaces is found not to be constant in time; the significant impact of this variation on the catchment's hydrologic response is quantified. This has overall caused a substantial flow volume increase in the Ouseburn over the study period, e.g. 48% for a 1 in 5 years rainfall event. The conclusions obtained are likely representative of many large towns and cities across the United Kingdom and the methodology presented can be easily replicated in other study areas.

Published: December 2021

Background
Community engagement can make a substantial difference in health outcomes and strengthen the capacity to deal with disruptive public health events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Social media platforms such as Facebook are a promising avenue to reach the broader public and enhance access to clinical and translational science, and require further evaluation from the scientific community.

Objective
This study aims to describe the use of live community events to enhance communication about clinical and health research through a Facebook platform case study (Minnesota [MN] Research Link) with a Minnesota statewide community. We examined variables associated with video engagement including video length and type of posting.

Methods
From June 2019 to February 2021, MN Research Link streamed 38 live community events on its public Facebook page, MN Research Link. Live community events highlighted different investigators’ clinical and health research in the areas of mental health, health and wellness, chronic diseases, and immunology/infectious diseases. Facebook analytics were used to determine the number of views, total minutes viewed, engagement metrics, and audience retention. An engagement rate was calculated by the total number of interactions (likes, shares, and comments) divided by the total length of the live event by the type of live community event.

Results
The 38 live community events averaged 23 minutes and 1 second in duration. The total time viewed for all 38 videos was 10 hours, 44 minutes, and 40 seconds. Viewers’ watch time averaged 23 seconds of content per video. After adjusting for video length, promotional videos and research presentations had the highest engagement and retention rates. Events that included audience participation did not have higher retention rates compared to events without audience participation.

Conclusions
The use of live community events showed adequate levels of engagement from participants. A view time of 23 seconds on average per video suggests that short informational videos engage viewers of clinical and translational science content. Live community events on Facebook can be an effective method of advancing health promotion and clinical and translational science content; however, certain types of events have more impact on engagement than others.
Efficacy of a Digital Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Intervention for the Improvement of Self-management Behaviors and Psychological Flexibility in Adults With Cardiac Disease: Protocol for a Single Case Experimental Design
Authors: Moran Orla , Doyle Julie , Giggins Oonagh , McHugh Louise , Gould Evelyn , Smith Suzanne , Gavin Shane , Sojan Nisanth , Boyle Gordon 
Published: December 2021

Background
Research indicates that the management of distress levels in those with cardiac disease is not only important for improving quality of life and functioning but also critical for condition management; adherence to treatment; and, ultimately, disease prognosis and progression. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has consistently demonstrated positive long-term outcomes across a wide array of conditions, including chronic illness. However, most empirical investigations conducted to date have also involved in-person therapy, which can be difficult to access, particularly for those dealing with the demands of chronic disease.

Objective
The objective of our research is to evaluate a digital ACT intervention for improving self-management behaviors and distress levels in those with cardiac conditions.

Methods
The digital ACT intervention will be delivered via a digital health self-management platform over 6 sessions. This will involve a randomized, multiple baseline, single case experimental design with approximately 3 to 15 adults with cardiac disease. The independent variable for each participant will be the pre-post intervention phase. The dependent variables will be a daily self-report measure of psychological flexibility as well as objective measures of condition self-management (eg, blood pressure readings) and engagement with the app (eg, completing guided mindfulness). One-to-one qualitative interviews will also be conducted to further examine participants’ experiences with using the intervention and what factors contribute to or impede successful outcomes.

Results
Participant recruitment and data collection began in October 2021, and it is projected that the study findings will be available for dissemination by spring 2022.

Conclusions
The findings will be discussed in terms of how a digital ACT intervention can best meet the needs of cardiac patients.

Authors: O'Hora Kathleen Patricia , Osorno Raquel A , Sadeghi-Bahmani Dena , Lopez Mateo , Morehouse Allison , Kim Jane P , Manber Rachel , Goldstein-Piekarski Andrea N 
Published: December 2021

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to drastic increases in the prevalence and severity of insomnia symptoms. These increases in insomnia complaints have been paralleled by significant decreases in well-being, including increased symptoms of depression, anxiety, and suicidality and decreased quality of life. However, the efficacy and impact of early treatment of insomnia symptoms on future sleep and well-being remain unknown.

Objective
Here, we present the framework and protocol for a novel feasibility, pilot study that aims to investigate whether a brief telehealth insomnia intervention targeting new insomnia that developed during the pandemic prevents deterioration of well-being, including symptoms of insomnia, depression, anxiety, suicidality, and quality of life.

Methods
The protocol details a 2-arm randomized controlled feasibility trial to investigate the efficacy of a brief, telehealth-delivered, early treatment of insomnia and evaluate its potential to prevent deterioration of well-being. Participants with clinically significant insomnia symptoms that began during the pandemic were randomized to either a treatment group or a 28-week waitlist control group. Treatment consists of 4 telehealth sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) delivered over 5 weeks. All participants will complete assessments of insomnia symptom severity, well-being, and daily habits checklist at baseline (week 0) and at weeks 1-6, 12, 28, and 56.

Results
The trial began enrollment on June 3, 2020 and closed enrollment on June 17, 2021. As of October 2021, 49 participants had been randomized to either immediate treatment or a 28-week waitlist; 23 participants were still active in the protocol.

Conclusions
To our knowledge, this protocol would represent the first study to test an early sleep intervention for improving insomnia that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings of this feasibility study could provide information about the utility of CBT-I for symptoms that emerge in the context of other stressors before they develop a chronic course and deepen understanding of the relationship between sleep and well-being.

Published: December 2021

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant changes to everyday life, including social distancing mandates, changes to health care, and a heightened risk of infection. Previous research has shown that Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) veterans are at higher risk of developing mental and physical health conditions. Veterans and their families may face unique social challenges that can compound with pandemic-related disruptions to negatively impact well-being.

Objective
This study aims to longitudinally characterize the mental health of CAF veterans and spouses of CAF veterans throughout the pandemic and to understand the dynamic influences of pandemic-related stressors on psychological health over time.

Methods
We employed a prospective longitudinal panel design using an online data collection platform. Study participation was open to all CAF veterans and spouses of CAF veterans residing in Canada. Participants were asked to complete a comprehensive battery of assessments representing psychological well-being, chronic pain, health care access patterns, physical environment, employment, social integration, and adjustment to pandemic-related lifestyle changes. Follow-up assessments were conducted every 3 months over an 18-month period. This study was approved by the Western University Health Sciences and Lawson Health Research Institute Research Ethics Boards.

Results
Baseline data were collected between July 2020 and February 2021. There were 3 population segments that participated in the study: 1047 veterans, 366 spouses of veterans, and 125 veterans who are also spouses of veterans completed baseline data collection. As of November 2021, data collection is ongoing, with participants completing the 9- or 12-month follow-up surveys depending on their date of self-enrollment. Data collection across all time points will be complete in September 2022.

Conclusions
This longitudinal survey is unique in its comprehensive assessment of domains relevant to veterans and spouses of veterans during the COVID-19 pandemic, ranging from occupational, demographic, social, mental, and physical domains, to perceptions and experiences with health care treatments and access. The results of this study will be used to inform policy for veteran and veteran family support, and to best prepare for similar emergencies should they occur in the future.

Associations Between Behavior Change Techniques and Engagement With Mobile Health Apps: Protocol for a Systematic Review
Authors: Milne-Ives Madison , Homer Sophie , Andrade Jackie , Meinert Edward 
Published: December 2021

Background
Digitally enabled care along with an emphasis on self-management of health is steadily growing. Mobile health apps provide a promising means of supporting health behavior change; however, engagement with them is often poor and evidence of their impact on health outcomes is lacking. As engagement is a key prerequisite to health behavior change, it is essential to understand how engagement with mobile health apps and their target health behaviors can be better supported. Although the importance of engagement is emphasized strongly in the literature, the understanding of how different components of engagement are associated with specific techniques that aim to change behaviors is lacking.

Objective
The purpose of this systematic review protocol is to provide a synthesis of the associations between various behavior change techniques (BCTs) and the different components and measures of engagement with mobile health apps.

Methods
The review protocol was structured using the PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols) and the PICOS (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome, and Study type) frameworks. The following seven databases will be systematically searched: PubMed, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, APA PsycInfo, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Title and abstract screening, full-text review, and data extraction will be conducted by 2 independent reviewers. Data will be extracted into a predetermined form, any disagreements in screening or data extraction will be discussed, and a third reviewer will be consulted if consensus cannot be reached. Risk of bias will be assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias 2 and the Risk Of Bias In Non-Randomized Studies - of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tools; descriptive and thematic analyses will be conducted to summarize the relationships between BCTs and the different components of engagement.

Results
The systematic review has not yet started. It is expected to be completed and submitted for publication by May 2022.

Conclusions
This systematic review will summarize the associations between different BCTs and various components and measures of engagement with mobile health apps. This will help identify areas where further research is needed to examine BCTs that could potentially support effective engagement and help inform the design and evaluation of future mobile health apps.

Developing Conflict Resolution Strategies and Building Resilient Midwifery Students: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Research Study
Authors: Simpson Naomi , Steen Mary , Vernon Rachael , Briley Annette , Wepa Dianne 
Published: December 2021

Background
Workplace bullying and violence (WBV) are well-documented issues in the midwifery profession. Negative workplace culture, conflict, and bullying are the most common forms of workplace violence experienced by midwives. Workplace violence increases the risk of midwives experiencing burnout, compassion fatigue, psychological trauma, poor mental health, absenteeism, loss of passion for the midwifery profession, job dissatisfaction, and poor job retention. Midwifery students describe workplace violence in the form of physical, emotional, or verbal abuse, and bullying. Therefore, there is a justification to develop conflict resolution strategies and resilience in midwifery students prior to graduation.

Objective
Our aim is to develop and facilitate a bespoke education program for South Australian midwifery students to enable them to develop skills in conflict resolution, build resilience, and identify self-care strategies.

Methods
This study will undertake a preparatory phase summarizing the body of literature on midwifery students’ knowledge, understanding, and experiences of WBV. Following this, a 3-phase sequential mixed methods research design study will be undertaken. In Phase 1, quantitative data will be collected via a semistructured questionnaire and a validated conflict measurement tool, before and after attending an education workshop, and will be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results from Phase 1 will inform and guide the development of an interview schedule for Phase 2. In Phase 2, qualitative data will be gathered by facilitating one-to-one interviews and a thematic analysis will be undertaken to gain a deeper understanding of midwifery students’ experiences of WBV. In Phase 3, data integration using triangulation will be undertaken and meta-inferences will be developed via the integration of results and findings from Phases 1 and 2.

Results
The preparatory phase will commence in October 2021. Phase 1 will commence in 2022 with analysis of pre- and posteducation results anticipated to be completed by December 2022. Phase 2 will be developed from findings of the preparatory phase and results of Phase 1. An interpretation of verbatim interview transcripts is estimated to be undertaken by April 2023. Phase 3 of the study is expected to commence in May 2023, and this will involve the analysis of collective evidence gathered from Phases 1 and 2. The anticipated completion date for the study is December 2023.

Conclusions
The outcomes of this research will provide insights into the prevalence and impact of WBV experienced by midwifery students. The findings of the research will report on levels of knowledge, skills, and confidence, and will assess the impact of a bespoke conflict resolution and resilience education workshop for midwifery students in managing WBV.

Estrategias de Afrontamiento: efectos en el bienestar psicológico de universitarios durante la pandemia del COVID-19
Authors: Bello-Castillo Iris , Martínez Camilo Anny Lisbeth , Peterson Elías Paulette Marie , Sánchez-Vincitore Laura V. 
Published: December 2021

Este estudio exploró la influencia de las estrategias de afrontamiento en el bienestar psicológico de estudiantes universitarios dominicanos durante la pandemia del COVID-19. Participaron 135 estudiantes de una universidad privada, entre 18 y 25 años, completando una encuesta virtual con la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico (EBP) y la escala de Orientación hacia el Afrontamiento de Problemas Experimentados (COPE-48). Seis regresiones múltiples con selección forward crearon modelos de predicción de cada dimensión del bienestar psicológico con las estrategias de afrontamiento como variables independientes. Los modelos explicaron del 23 % al 40 % de la varianza del bienestar psicológico. Un análisis factorial clasificó las estrategias de afrontamiento en: (1) positivas, ejerciendo una influencia positiva en el bienestar; y (2) negativas, ejerciendo una influencia negativa en el bienestar. Las estrategias positivas significativas fueron: (1) aceptación y crecimiento personal, y (2) búsqueda de apoyo social. Las estrategias negativas significativas fueron: (1) consumo de alcohol o drogas, (2) centrarse en las emociones y desahogarse, (3) negación, y (4) refrenar el afrontamiento. Las medidas de distanciamiento y la desconfianza en autoridades de salud durante la pandemia dificultan usar estrategias de afrontamiento positivas, favoreciendo el uso de estrategias negativas. Esto aumenta el riesgo de desarrollar sintomatologías clínicamente relevantes.
Outcomes of Complete Surgical Repair Versus Palliative Intervention in Neonates with Tetralogy of Fallot
Authors: Hamzah Mohammed , Othman Hasan , Chedid Krystel , Alsabri Mohammed , Qattea Ibrahim , Aly Hany 
Published: December 2021

Background: Surgical management of symptomatic neonates with Tetralogy
of Fallot (TOF) is controversial. Either primary surgical repair (EPSR)
in neonates with TOF or a staged palliation with initial palliative
intervention (PI). Aim: Compare outcomes of neonates with TOF who had
EPSR and those who had PI. Materials and Methods: The study utilized the
US National Inpatient Sample dataset for the years 2000 to 2018.
Patients with EPSR and those with PI (aortic to pulmonary shunt or
cardiac catheter palliative intervention) identified. Results: A total
of 29,292 neonates with TOF were identified; of them 1726 neonates had
EPSR, 4363 had PI. Hospital mortality was similar in both groups (PI
7.4% vs EPSR 8.0%, p = 0.41). Patient in the PI group had more
comorbidities; chromosomal anomalies (PI 13.2% vs. ESPR 7.8%,
p < 0.001), prematurity (PI 15.1% vs. EPSR 10.4%,
p < 0.001), and low birth weight < 2500
grams (PI 15.4% vs. EPSR 10.3%, p < 0.001). Median
length of stay and median cost of hospitalization were significantly
higher in the EPSR (25 days vs. 19 days, and $312,405 vs. $191,863,
respectively, p < 0.001). Conclusion: EPSR had similar
mortality to PI but comes with a higher resource utilization and
complications. If we include the cumulative morbidity and resource
utilization associated with a two staged repair, EPSR could be proven as
a better strategy in symptomatic neonates with TOF. A prospective
superiority study on symptomatic neonates with TOF randomized to either
ESPR or PI is needed to further answer this question.

Published: December 2021

The article highlights the current state of diagnosing the acute ischemic myocardial injury. The possibilities of application of various additional methods of research and their effectiveness have been considered. Taking into consideration the shortcomings of most of the known methods of diagnosing and the state of ensuring the regional bureaus of forensic medical examination, the necessity of the development of new research methods for pathologically changed tissues, has been justified.
