Summary: The aim of this study was to explore the mediating role of perceived social support in the association between perceived stress and job burnout in midwives. A descriptive, cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 329 midwives from 20 hospitals in China. The results showed that perceived stress was negatively associated with social support and positively associated with job burnout. Social support was negatively correlated with job burnout. The study suggests implementing social support programs for midwives to control the impact of perceived stress on job burnout.

Summary: Resistance training is often overlooked but essential for physical health. As we age, our musculoskeletal system declines, resulting in loss of muscle strength, flexibility, and balance. Resistance training can help reduce joint stress, improve muscle mass and strength, increase metabolism and bone density, reduce body fat and cardiac risk factors, and enhance cognitive function and psychological well-being.

Summary: The evidence supports early rehabilitation after stroke to limit disability, with a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise along with resveratrol showing promising results in mitigating cardiovascular and skeletal muscle deconditioning. However, there were no additive effects observed in these experiments, despite the potential benefits of early treatment for poststroke behavioral impairments.

Summary: Recently, the network theory of mental disorders has been applied to understand work addiction as a dynamic system of symptoms in direct relationships. This study aimed to investigate the direct relationships of work addiction symptoms with work engagement, job burnout, and perceived stress. The findings revealed that work engagement and job burnout were closely associated with each other but less with work addiction. The symptoms of work addiction were connected to other phenomena through specific pathways. These findings contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms leading from engagement to addiction and from addiction to burnout.

Summary: The study investigated whether perceptual and motor control processes used to react to unpredictable stimuli and initiate an ipsilateral movement were replicated during imagery. Results showed that participants maintained the ipsilateral finger-foot programming rule and reacted to both imagined and actual stimuli, indicating theoretical similarities between imagery and physical performance of reaction tasks. However, slower imagery performance on the more complex tasks suggests that task complexity may be limited during imagery.

Summary: Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare and incurable subtype of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), often managed with a watch-and-wait strategy. Research suggests that fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) and depressive symptoms may negatively impact quality of life, while a recent cancer diagnosis and depression-related pessimism may contribute to FCR.

Summary: Individual differences in the perception of bodily sensations are associated with affective symptomatology, but the psychological responses to everyday bodily sensations have not been systematically and comprehensively examined. Therefore, the Bodily Sensations Response Scale (BSRS) was developed to evaluate individuals' cognitive, emotional, and behavioral responses to their bodily sensations.

Summary: Sexual minority youth are more likely to experience bullying victimization, particularly in the context of cyberbullying, compared to their heterosexual peers. The stigma associated with being a sexual minority may contribute to their increased risk of bullying involvement. Interventions targeting bullying and associated health risks in sexual minority youth are necessary, with explicit school policies and locally tailored interventions showing particular effectiveness.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the factor structure and validity of two assessment tools, ADNM-8 and ADNM-4, in Australian oncology patients. The results suggest that both ADNM-8 and ADNM-4 are useful in assessing adjustment disorder symptoms in cancer patients. Prompt screening of cancer patients can facilitate early intervention and inform treatment decisions.

Summary: This study analyzed the psychological wellbeing experiences of people with cancer in rural and urban areas in Australia and found that rural populations had poorer psychological wellbeing. This suggests that there is still a disparity in psychological wellbeing in rural areas of Australia, highlighting the need for increased attention in clinical and political contexts.

Summary: Rural areas have been considered challenging for sexual minorities, making urban migration an important aspect of coming out. However, limited quantitative research has examined migration intent among rural youth. This study explores migration expectations among Icelandic adolescents and finds no significant difference in overall migration expectations between rural/exurban and urban LGBQ youth. Notably, urban LGBQ youth are more likely to consider moving abroad, while other areas are more likely to consider domestic migration.
