Introducing a new hobby for other people may inspire them to join with you. Reading, as one of mutual hobby, is considered as the very easy hobby to do. But, many people are not interested in this hobby. Why? Boring is the reason of why. However, this feel actually can deal with the book and time of you reading. Yeah, one that we will refer to break the boredom in reading is choosing the child in the family as the reading material.

Legacy perceptions and interventions for adults and children receiving palliative care: A systematic review:

Grief support changes as more is learned from current grief theory and research. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of current grief support as it relates to Pediatric Palliative Care (PPC). The following aspects of grief are addressed: (1) anticipatory grief: the nondeath losses that occur with a complex and chronic illness, as well as the time leading up to death; (2) grief around the time of death: the intense and sacred experience of companioning with a dying child; (3) grief after death: supporting bereavement and mourning through programing and other methods; (4) innovative approaches: the future of grief support. The contents of this article are meant to support and educate programs currently providing grief services and those aiming to begin the meaningful work of grief support.

Prevalence of Anxiety and Depression among Psychiatric Healthcare Workers during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Malaysian Perspective

Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the world and inevitably influenced people's behaviors including the likelihood of crime and deviance. Emerging empirical evidence suggests a decline in certain crimes (e.g., theft, robbery, and assault) but also proliferation of different violent behaviors and cybercriminal activity during the pandemic. To explain those trends, we draw on existent theories and elaborate on how crime and violence have been affected by the changes in people's daily routines and accumulated stressful conditions. However, as recent crime trends appear to be largely inconsistent and vary across social groups and contexts, we argue that social scientists need to pay particular attention to the differential experiences related to crime and violence during this global crisis. Specifically, because of the disproportionate experience of violence by vulnerable groups including minorities and women as well as the unique cross‐national variations in deviance, more nuanced approaches to understanding causes of crime are warranted. We also discuss the limitations of present research and provide recommendations for the development of comparative and multi‐disciplinary studies on criminal and deviant behaviors that are influenced by human crisis situations.

Crime and deviance during the COVID‐19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented levels of stress to individuals in the U.S. and throughout the world. These high stress levels place individuals at risk for symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other psychiatric disorders. The current study applies a control-based model of coping to contribute to the development of evidence-based interventions to promote resilience. Data were collected online from April 22 through July 12, 2020. Data from two samples of U. S. community adults who completed an online battery of standardized questionnaires were combined (N = 709). More than a quarter reported moderate to severe levels of depression symptoms, and more than one-fifth reported moderate to severe levels of anxiety symptoms; symptom levels were higher among adults who reported more COVID-19-related stress. As hypothesized, multiple regression analyses indicated that greater use of primary and secondary control coping was associated with lower symptom levels, whereas greater use of disengagement coping was associated with higher symptom levels, above and beyond the association of stress with symptoms. Race and ethnicity emerged as important moderators of these associations, indicating that what constitutes adaptive coping varies according to characteristics of the individual. Implications for public health policy and clinical practice are discussed.

Coping with COVID-19 stress: Associations with depression and anxiety in a diverse sample of U.S. adults.

Legacy building interventions like plaster hand molds are offered in most children's hospitals, yet little is known about how the concept of legacy is understood and described by pediatric health care providers. Therefore, this study explored pediatric health care providers' perceptions of legacy at an academic medical center to ensure that future legacy interventions are evidence-informed and theoretically grounded. An electronic survey featuring three open-ended questions and two multiple-choice questions with an option for free text response was completed by 172 medical and psychosocial health care providers. Analysis yielded four themes: (1) legacy is intergenerational, enduring, and typically associated with end-of-life; (2) legacies articulate the impacts on others for which one is known and remembered; (3) legacies can be expressed through tangible items or intangible qualities; and (4) legacies are informed and generated by family relationships and work experiences. By understanding legacy as a personally and professionally contextualized experience, health care providers can better assess and meet the legacy needs of hospitalized pediatric patients and families.

Defining Legacy: The Perceptions of Pediatric Health Care Providers.

Exploration of the Relationship Between a Group Medical Play Intervention and Children's Preoperative Fear and Anxiety

BACKGROUND
Legacy building is a developmentally grounded, trauma-informed, and family-centered psychosocial intervention designed to bolster patient and family resilience through collaborative activities and meaning making. However, little is known about the effects of these interventions, partially because of a lack of clarity regarding how children of different developmental levels understand the concept of legacy. Therefore, this study explored the ways in which hospitalized children defined the concept of legacy.


METHODS
Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 45 hospitalized children (ages 6 to 18 years) on the acute and critical care units of an academic children's medical center. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim; transcripts were independently coded by at least two members of the research team using an inductive, line-by-line approach; and codes were categorized and assembled into four overarching themes resulting in a developmental typology of the concept of legacy.


RESULTS
Participants described legacy as: 1) concepts, actions, or feelings motivated by the future; 2) represented through both tangible and intangible means; 3) informed by personal, educational, experiential, and ideological sources; and 4) experienced as good, bad, or neutral.


CONCLUSIONS
The findings of this study demonstrate that hospitalized children are aware of and can articulate an emerging concept of legacy - one that mirrors the progression of cognitive complexity shaped by their unique personal life and healthcare experiences. The developmental typology presented in this study can be a useful starting point for clinicians as they present and facilitate legacy building interventions throughout a child's hospital stay.

Hospitalized Children's Perceptions of Legacy: "A Symbol of Yourself that you Leave Behind".

OBJECTIVE
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease characterized by neuropsychiatric symptoms (e.g., anxiety and depression), where individuals suffer high levels of stress from the social, physical, and cognitive burden of the disease. The present study examined two factors associated with increased risk for symptoms of anxiety and depression: executive function skills (inhibitory control/attention and working memory) and skills to cope with stress.


METHOD
Adults with HD completed the NIH Toolbox measures of inhibitory control/attention and working memory, as well as self-report measures of coping with HD-related stress and symptoms of anxiety and depression. Path analyses were used to test direct and indirect associations among the subtypes of executive functioning, coping, and symptoms.


RESULTS
No significant associations were found in the full sample (n = 47), due to a significant portion of the sample with very low executive function abilities. Additional analyses were conducted on a subset of the sample (participants in the top three quartiles on both measures of executive functioning, n = 32). Significant indirect associations emerged among inhibitory control/attention skills, secondary control coping (e.g., acceptance and reappraisal), and symptoms of anxiety and depression in the subsample. Higher inhibitory control/attention skills were associated with greater use of secondary control coping, and greater use of these coping skills was related to lower symptoms of anxiety and depression. No direct or indirect associations were found among working memory skills, coping, and symptoms of anxiety and depression.


CONCLUSIONS
Implications for interventions to enhance executive function and coping skills in adults with HD are highlighted. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
