The psychological benefit of future vividness in goal persistence: An illustrative case of the class of 2020 before & during COVID‐19
Authors: McMichael Samantha L. , Kwan Virginia S. Y. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractGraduating during COVID‐19, the Class of 2020 had difficulty pursuing their future goals. This research examined the likelihood of academic and career goal change early in the pandemic, disparities in persistence by socioeconomic status (SES), and how psychological resources mitigated goal change during the early stages of the pandemic. This 4‐year study surveyed students in the Class of 2020 eight times from their first week in college (Fall 2016) to their last semester before graduation (Spring 2020; N = 115; 20% below middle SES, 80% middle SES or above). Even in the first weeks of COVID‐19, a quarter of students changed goals. Lower SES students were less likely to persist in their post‐graduation plans. Nevertheless, students who entered college with a vivid image of their future were more likely to have secured a graduate school or job prospect prior to COVID‐19, and, in turn, were less likely to change goals.

Published: June 2023

AbstractSeveral repercussions of the COVID‐19 pandemic and its subsequent isolation period have been reported worldwide. In this paper, we analyze the behavioral and emotional effects of 1 year of coronavirus‐related lockdown in Colombia. A cross‐sectional correlational design was used on a sample of 1853 participants from different regions, and with different levels of education, income, and employment situations. We applied the fear of coronavirus scale, the use of preventive behaviors scale, and a scale to measure pleasant and unpleasant emotions based on the circumplex model of affect. Our data shows that women, participants who were unemployed during the lockdown, and participants that study or work in legal, computational, or related fields, have been more affected in terms of unpleasant emotions. In addition, we observed a trend towards a relation between higher income and educational levels with lower degrees of fear, higher degrees of pleasant emotions, and a greater use of preventive behaviors related to the pandemic.

AbstractThe global COVID‐19 pandemic led to a widespread increase in remote work arrangements. This trend raised concerns regarding the potential negative ramifications it might have for organizational trust and cooperation. We explored the initial effect of COVID‐19 induced remote work on trust in organizations: trust in co‐workers, trust in the supervisor and in the organization at large. In a four‐wave longitudinal survey of remote workers (N ∼ 1000) in the UK conducted between May 2020 and August 2020 (first COVID wave), we examined the association between the share of remote work (out of total working hours) and different forms of trust at work. The results showed that, for the same individual, increasing the share of working hours spent remotely was associated with more trust in the organization at large (but not in the supervisor and co‐workers). Further, during the months where individuals spent more time working remotely, they experienced lower turnover intentions (but not less burnout or more work engagement, productivity, and satisfaction) compared to the months where they spent less time working remotely. The results contribute to the literature on flexible work arrangements, organizational trust, and other work outcomes.
Replication of “Do state‐customized TANF work policies actually reduce unemployment?”
Authors: Nicholson Jack 
Published: June 2023

AbstractBackgroundIn Na Yeon Kim and Frances Stokes Berry's paper “Do State‐Customized TANF Work Policies Actually Reduce Unemployment?,” the researchers attempt to determine if the implementation of Worker Supplement Programs (WSPs) caused the unemployment rate of low‐income females to decrease. They found that states that enacted WSPs attained about 18 percent fewer unemployed low‐income females when compared with states that did not implement WSPs.ObjectivesThe original purpose of this project was to expand on Kim and Berry's research regarding TANF policies.MethodsI created a dataset that closely matched Kim and Berry's original dataset. I then applied the same difference‐in‐differences model they reported using and two supplementary difference‐in‐differences models. Additionally, I used synthetic control methods for four states to further investigate the causal claim.ResultsI closely matched Kim and Berry's summary statistics, but the ambiguity of their data collection methods hindered my ability to exactly match the data. When excluding fixed effects and trend variables, I found that states with WSPs had about 20 percent fewer unemployed low‐income females. The inclusion of fixed effects and trend variables, which Kim and Berry reported using in their model, caused the WSP variable to become about 0 percent and insignificant. The results of the synthetic control methods provided additional evidence that questions the validity of the original findings.ConclusionsKim and Berry's research seemingly contains significant flaws, including incorrect results. This replication project offers evidence that the significant decrease in unemployment among low‐income females is likely not present, highlighting the importance of documentation and replication.

AbstractDifferent land use and management actions can affect soil aggregates (SAs) and nutrient stocks, which are crucial for sustainable agriculture. The impacts of various chrono‐sequences on the soil aggregate structure, soil organic carbon (SOC) and nutrients associated with aggregate fractions in wolfberry (Lycium barbarum L.) plantations are still not fully understood. This study examined the composition and stability of SAs, SOC, total nitrogen (TN), available phosphorus (AP) and exchangeable cations (K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+) in bulk soil and various aggregate‐size fractions from five wolfberry plantations with varying ages (1, 4, 6, 10 and 13 years) and a corn field (0 years) in the arid region of northwest Ningxia in China. The results indicated that silt–clay (<53 μm) fractions were dominant in the soil, accounting for 51%–66%, under different plantation ages. The proportion of the macro‐aggregates (>250 μm) increased significantly, by 40%–47%, over the 4 years of wolfberry plantation. Likewise, the soil aggregate stability was improved, and total exchangeable bases (TEB) along with numerous cations concentrations (K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+) in SAs were significantly reduced as the wolfberry plantings became older. Both concentrations of SOC and TN in the soil aggregates peaked in the 13th year. The silt–clay fractions stored a considerable amount of SOC and nutrients. However, short‐term (under 6 years) cultivation of wolfberry reduced the stocks of SOC, TN and AP in the soil, while long‐term (over 10 years) cultivation increased them, particularly in macro‐aggregates. These findings indicated that long‐term wolfberry farming had several advantages, such as enhancing soil structure, accumulating SOC and nutrients and ameliorating alkaline soils, especially after 10 years, in the arid northwest of China.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThis study compared the effectiveness of teaching a distance education statistics course using a computer‐aided personalized system of instruction (CAPSI) in comparison to a distance education course that used video lectures. Data were collected between 2017 and 2022. Two‐hundred and sixty‐eight students were included in the sample. Results supported that students enrolled in the CAPSI statistics course were less likely to drop out of the course and mastered significantly more material than students enrolled in the lecture‐based distance education course. It is recommended that instructors teaching statistics in distance education settings consider using CAPSI to improve student outcomes.
Effects of problem‐based learning on delivering medical and nursing education: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

Published: June 2023

AbstractBackgroundThere is still a lack of high‐level evidence on the effects of problem‐based learning (PBL) in general medical and nursing education.AimsWe aimed to summarize current evidence on the effects of PBL in delivering medical and nursing education from randomized controlled trials (RCTs).MethodsA systematic search was performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Library, and CINAHL Complete. RCTs that assessed the effects of a PBL module in delivering medical education were eligible. Outcomes included knowledge, performance, and satisfaction. The risk of bias was assessed according to Cochrane handbook guidelines. Standardized mean differences with 95% confidence intervals of each outcome between PBL and control groups were pooled using a random‐effects model.ResultsIn all, 22 RCTs with 1969 participants were included. Both pooled analyses of changes in scores compared with baseline and absolute post‐interventional scores favored PBL module in knowledge and performance. The satisfaction degree was also higher in participants receiving PBL methods. Publication bias might exist in satisfaction; however, not in knowledge and performance. Eleven of the 22 studies were assessed as having a high risk of bias.Linking Evidence to ActionCompared with traditional lecture‐based modules, PBL delivered medical education in different medical science specialities more efficiently from both theoretical knowledge and practice skill perspectives. The feedback from participants receiving PBL methods was more positive than that from those receiving traditional methods. However, the high heterogeneity and low quality of the included studies prevented drawing definite conclusions.

Published: June 2023

Objective:
The objective of this review was to investigate and map empirical evidence of patient involvement interventions to support patients with kidney failure making end-of-life care decisions in kidney services.

Introduction:
Clinical guidance integrating end-of-life care within kidney failure management pathways varies. Advance care planning interventions aimed at involving patients with kidney failure in their end-of-life care planning are established in some countries. However, there is limited evidence of the other types of patient involvement interventions integrated within services to support patients with kidney failure in making decisions about their end-of-life care.

Inclusion criteria:
This scoping review included studies exploring patient involvement interventions evaluated for patients with kidney failure considering end-of-life care, their relatives, and/or health professionals in kidney services. Studies of children under the age of 18 years were excluded.

Methods:
The review was informed by JBI methodology and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Review guidelines. MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, and CINAHL were searched for full-text studies in English, Danish, German, Norwegian, or Swedish. Two independent reviewers assessed the literature against the inclusion criteria. A relational analysis framework was used to synthesize the data extracted from the included studies, and to investigate and map different patient involvement interventions.

Results:
The search identified 1628 articles, of which 33 articles met the inclusion criteria. A total of 23 interventions were described. Interventions targeted patients (n=3); health professionals (n=8); patients and health professionals (n=5); and patients, relatives, and health professionals (n=7). Intervention components included patient resources (eg, information, patient decision aids), consultation resources (eg, advance care planning, shared decision-making), and practitioner resources (eg, communication training). Patient involvement interventions were delivered within hospital-based kidney services.

Conclusions:
The review identified several ways to support patients with kidney failure to be involved in end-of-life care decisions. Future interventions may benefit from adopting a complex intervention framework to engage multiple stakeholders in the research and design of an intervention for shared decision-making between patients with kidney failure, their relatives, and health professionals about integrating end-of-life care options into their kidney disease management pathway.

IntroductionMany causes lead to sympathetic-vagus imbalance, which promotes the development of hypertension and accelerates the process of target organ damage. Many studies have shown that exercise training and heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback can improve diseases caused by autonomic nerve dysfunction, such as hypertension. Based on these theories and the Yin-Yang balance theory of traditional Chinese medicine and Cannon’s homeostasis theory, we have developed an assessment system of autonomic nerve regulation system and a harmony instrument. In this study, we aimed to find a new way to control blood pressure of hypertensive patients via cardiopulmonary resonance indices-based respiratory feedback training.Methods and analysisThis is a prospective, randomised, parallel-controlled clinical trial, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of biofeedback therapy and exercise rehabilitation combined intervention in hypertension management. 176 healthy individuals will be recruited to get their autonomic nerve function parameters as normal control, while 352 hypertensive patients will be enrolled and randomly divided into a conventional treatment group and an experiment group in a ratio of 1:1. All patients will continue to receive standard hypertension blood pressure treatment, except that patients in the experiment group will have to complete additional daily respiratory training for 6 months. The primary outcome is the difference of clinical systolic blood pressure (SBP) between the two groups after 6 months of intervention. The secondary outcomes include the changes in the mean SBP and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) by 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, home SBP, clinical and home DBP, clinical and home heart rate, the standard-reaching rate of clinic and home SBP and the incidence of composite endpoint events at 6 months.Ethics and disseminationThis study has been approved by the clinical research ethics committee of China-Japan Friendship Hospital (No. 2018-132 K98-2), the results of this study will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications or conference presentations.Trial registration numberChinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR1800019457, registered on 12 August 2018.

Published: June 2023

ObjectivesThe aim of this review was to identify the potential intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors (RFs), associated factors (AFs) and consequences of developing calcaneal apophysitis (CA).DesignSystematic review.Data sourcesCochrane Library, Embase, Medline Ovid, PubMed, Web of Science and Evidence, searched from inception to April 2021.Eligibility criteriaWe included cohort, case–control and cross-sectional studies that were conducted in patients younger than 18 years who were exposed to RFs or who presented with factors associated with developing CA. Studies in languages other than English or Spanish were excluded.Data extraction and synthesisTwo reviewers worked independently to evaluate the risk of bias of included studies. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale (adapted version) was used.ResultsA total of 736 studies were identified and 11 observational studies fully met the inclusion criteria, including 1265 participants with a mean age of 10.72 years. Four studies identified extrinsic factors, 10 identified intrinsic factors and three identified both. The extrinsic and intrinsic RFs, AFs and consequences of CA include limitation of ankle dorsiflexion, foot alignment, stiffness and mobility of the midfoot, plantar pressures and ground reaction force, body mass index, age, gender, presence of other osteochondroses and practice of sport. The risk of bias varied, being either moderate or low.ConclusionsRegarding the factors and consequences associated with CA (Sever’s disease), ankle dorsiflexion limitation is the most frequent intrinsic factor studied, followed by peak plantar pressures and foot malalignment. However, disagreements between the investigators of the included studies were found; in some cases, there is a lack of unanimity between different studies as to which factors are considered to be RFs, AFs and consequences.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021246366.

ObjectiveTo compare the costs and effects of three sampling strategies for human papillomavirus (HPV) primary screening.DesignCost-consequence analysis from a health system perspective using a deterministic decision tree model.SettingEngland.ParticipantsA cohort of 10 000 women aged 25–65 years eligible for the National Health Service Cervical Screening Programme (NHSCSP).MethodsThe model was based on the NHSCSP HPV primary screening pathway and adapted for self-sampling. It used a 3-year cycle: routine screening (year 1) and recall screening (years 2/3). Parameter inputs were informed using published studies, NHSCSP reports and input from experts and manufacturers. Costs were from 2020/2021, British pound sterling (£).InterventionsThree sampling strategies were implemented: (1) routine clinician-collected cervical sample, (2) self-collected first-void (FV) urine, (3) self-collected vaginal swab. The hypothetical self-sampling strategies involved mailing women a sampling kit.Main outcome measuresPrimary outcomes: overall costs (for all screening steps to colposcopy), number of complete screens and cost per complete screen. Secondary outcomes: number of women screened, number of women lost to follow-up, cost per colposcopy and total screening costs for a plausible range of uptake scenarios.ResultsIn the base case, the average cost per complete screen was £56.81 for clinician-collected cervical sampling, £38.57 for FV urine self-sampling and £40.37 for vaginal self-sampling. In deterministic sensitivity analysis, the variables most affecting the average cost per screen were the cost of sample collection for clinician-collected sampling and the cost of laboratory HPV testing for the self-sampling strategies. Scaled to consider routine screening in England, if uptake in non-attenders increased by 15% and 50% of current screeners converted to self-sampling, the NHSCSP would save £19.2 million (FV urine) or £16.5 million (vaginal) per year.ConclusionSelf-sampling could provide a less costly alternative to clinician-collected sampling for routine HPV primary screening and offers opportunities to expand the reach of cervical screening to under-screened women.
Comparative effects of off-pump and multiple cardiopulmonary bypass strategies in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: protocol for a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Published: June 2023

IntroductionMultiple revascularisation strategies with or without cardiac arrest have been developed to minimise the negative effects of cardiopulmonary bypass interventions during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Several observational and randomised studies have evaluated the efficacy of these interventions. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of four prevalent revascularisation strategies with/without cardiopulmonary bypass interventions in CABG surgery.Methods and analysisWe will search on PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and ClinicalTrials.gov for randomised controlled trials and observational cohort studies comparing outcomes of CABG surgery under conventional on-pump, off-pump, on-pump beating heart and minimal extracorporeal circulation technology. All English articles published before 30 November 2022 will be considered. The primary outcome will be 30‐day mortality. The secondary outcomes will be various early and late adverse events after CABG surgery. The Revised Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale will be used to assess the quality of included articles. A random-effects pairwise meta-analysis will be performed to report the head-to-head comparison. Then, the network meta-analysis will be performed using a Bayesian framework with random-effects models.Ethics and disseminationThis research does not require the approval of an ethics committee as it relies on reviewing literature and does not involve dealing with humans or animals. The findings of this review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42023381279.
