Summary: This study explores how self-compassion operates in individuals living with skin conditions by conducting interviews with highly self-compassionate participants. The findings indicate that different components of self-compassion can help individuals adjust to chronic skin conditions in various ways, suggesting that psychological adjustment is not a straightforward process.

Summary: This study aimed to identify critical behavior change techniques and mechanisms of action to interpret the effectiveness of planning interventions based on the Health Action Process Approach model. The results showed that action planning interventions can improve physical activity and diet behavior through self-monitoring, problem-solving, behavior instruction, and environmental changes. Additionally, intention, behavioral regulation, and beliefs about capabilities were the most frequently occurring mechanisms of action.

Summary: Cancer is a common comorbidity linked to chronic cutaneous inflammatory diseases like psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa. The debate on whether current drugs increase cancer risk remains unsolved. New therapies, such as biologics, have enhanced treatment options but also pose a risk of non-melanoma skin cancers.

Summary: Improving social circumstances for individuals with mental health conditions is a priority in research and policy. Existing evidence suggests that high-intensity interventions focusing on housing and employment can positively impact social outcomes. However, more high-quality research is needed in other social domains.

Summary: This study reviewed the evidence on the use of Health Information Technology interventions for people living with multiple chronic conditions to identify critical knowledge gaps. The review found limited evidence for applying health IT solutions to improve care for PLWMCC. Further research is needed to fill the gaps in this area.

Summary: Social isolation and loneliness are common for people with chronic conditions, and peer support interventions may provide a sense of connection and knowledge to manage diseases. However, it is unclear what outcomes are important to patients with different chronic conditions, and the effectiveness and mechanisms of peer support remain unclear.

Summary: The retraction process of Covid-19 research articles is inconsistent and ambiguous, with more than half of retracted articles remaining available from a wide range of online sources. There is an urgent need to improve guidance on the retraction process and to extend this to cover preprint servers.

Summary: Accurate, unbiased and concise synthesis of available evidence is crucial for effective environmental policy and management decisions. However, most recently published evidence syntheses lack reliability and transparency, with only those following guidance and standards achieving higher assessment ratings. Improvement in evaluation criteria and reporting standards is needed to enhance the quality of environmental evidence syntheses.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and effectiveness of pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions in improving symptom control, functional exercise capacity, and quality of life in patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease. The results showed that pulmonary rehabilitation/exercise training had a short-term effect on improving 6-minute walk distance, but not in the long term. Dyspnoea was the most researched symptom, while cough was the least researched symptom, indicating a need for further research and intervention focus on neglected symptoms.
