Absence of evidence of transfusion transmission risk of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in the United States: Results froma 28-year lookback study
We report on a 28-year lookback study of recipients of blood from donors who subsequently developed CJD.METHODS: Patients with diagnosed CJD and a history of blood donation were identified. Blood centers were asked to provide information about the distribution of the donations and consignees were requested to provide information about the recipients of the donations. Vital status of each available recipient was determined and, if deceased, the reported cause(s) of death were obtained primarily from the National Death Index. All recipients included in the study database contributed person-time up to the last recorded review...

ChatGPT in mental health care
CONCLUSION: ChatGPT has the potential to significantly transform MHC, from streamlining administrative tasks to enhancing therapeutic contact. Aspects such as privacy and information accuracy should be central in its implementation. While current scientific evidence is still quite limited, ChatGPT already offers possibilities that should now be utilized by healthcare professionals. It is crucial that therapists form an opinion about ChatGPT, and institutions should be willing to invest in this innovative technology.PMID:38650514 (Source: Tijdschrift voor Psychiatrie)

Patient-related stressful experiences in psychiatry residency
CONCLUSION: In this study new patient related stressful experiences are reported that have not previously been described in the literature. Since estimating the impact of a patient related stressful experience proves difficult, it seems appropriate that the environment of the resident offers active support and further development of residents’ skills is stimulated.PMID:38650512 (Source: Tijdschrift voor Psychiatrie)

Restoring Children From Out ‐of‐Home Care: Insights From an Aboriginal‐Led Community Forum
ABSTRACTRestoring children from out-of-home care (OOHC) to their families is the preferred outcome for all children removed by child protection services, yet little is known about how restoration processes are experienced by families and services supporting them. This paper provides important insights about Aboriginal child restoration from 40 practitioners and stakeholders at a community forum led by Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations in regional New South Wales (NSW), Australia. This is one component of larger Aboriginal-led research, which investigates child protection experiences and pathways to successful r...

Are legal experts better decision makers than jurors? A psychological evaluation of the role of juries in the 21st century
Lee Curley, Till Neuhaus Journal of Criminal Psychology, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.- The Scottish Government hope to pilot judge only rape trials to increase the woefully low rape conviction rates in Scotland. The reasoning is that by removing jurors, the court will be attenuating the role that rape myths and other cognitive and social biases have on conviction rates. However, a plethora of research from cognitive and social psychology, legal literature and decision-making science has shown that experts, including judges and other legal professionals, may be no less biased than laypeople. This paper aims...

Navigating challenges: a socioecological analysis of sexual and reproductive health barriers among Eritrean refugee women in Ethiopia, using a key informant approach
Conclusions
A complex set of issues spanning individual needs, social norms, community resources, healthcare limitations and structural mismatches create significant barriers to fulfilling the SRH needs of Eritrean refugee women in Ethiopia. Factors like limited awareness, cultural taboos, lack of safe spaces, inadequate healthcare facilities and restrictive policies all contribute to the severe limitations on SRH services available in refugee settings. The overlap in findings underscores the importance of developing multilevel interventions that are culturally sensitive to the needs of refugee women across all SEM levels....

Self-directed digital interventions for the improvement of emotion regulation--effectiveness for mental health and functioning in adolescents: protocol for a systematic review
Introduction
Research suggests that problems with emotion regulation, that is, how a person manages and responds to an emotional experience, are related to a range of psychological disorders (eg, bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression). Interventions targeting emotion regulation have been shown to improve mental health in adults, but evidence on related interventions for adolescents is still emerging. Increasingly, self-directed digital interventions (eg, mobile apps) are being developed to target emotion regulation in this population, but questions remain about their effectiveness. This systematic review aimed to synthe...

Environmental Justice and Health in Nigeria
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) identified 17 goals to achieve by the year 2030, with many of these goals directly or indirectly linked to environmental justice. Health outcomes remain poor in Nigeria; the country ranks low in environmental quality despite supporting environmental treaties and laws. The burden of diseases in the country is in part related to poor environmental quality and is linked to environmental justice issues, such as mining, energy exploration, transport emission, poor waste management, and proliferation of slum settlement.Recent FindingsPrevious studie...
