American Indian/Alaska Natives (AIAN) have some of the highest health disparities and poorest outcomes of all racial or ethnic minority groups in the United States. Across all age groups, suicide is 2.5 times higher in AIANs than the national average (National Indian Council on Aging, 2019). Cultural and institutional barriers prevent AIAN undergraduate and graduate college students from seeking mental health services, and many serious mental health problems remain untreated. While numerous barriers to mental health services exist for AIAN students, Indigenous faculty and support staff who share deep understanding of history, culture and traditional view of health and wellness can reduce the barriers and promote mental health and wellness for students. Shifting the focus to introduce a new narrative gives way to greater recognition of factors that create health and may help academic institutions provide holistic support for AIAN and other underrepresented students. The new narrative includes holistic strength-based support, social support, and fostering cultural identity and pride enhances mental health and success. Indigenization of the doctoral nursing curriculum supports faculty who are committed to decolonizing course content and institutionalized pedagogy. Improved health outcomes for Indigenous individuals and other underrepresented students will positively affect communities through increasing diversity of APRNs, nursing faculty, and nursing scholars.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between melatonin hormone levels, sleep, and factors affecting sleep, psychological resilience, and depression in nurses working with a shift work system. Conducted between February 5-12, 2021, at the Training and Research Hospital in Ağrı province, the descriptive study included 41 night shift nurses and 35 day shift nurses, totaling 76 participants. Blood samples for melatonin analysis were collected and data were gathered using the Sociodemographic Information Form, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Sleep Disorder Scale Short Form, Brief Psychological Resilience Scale, and Beck Depression Scale Short Form. Melatonin analysis was performed using the ELISA method. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results showed that sleep disorders were present in all nurses with <7 h of daily sleep. Factors such as the use of sleeping pills, marital status, age, and gender affected sleep disorders. Mean scores for melatonin levels were 67.82 ± 40.20 for night shift nurses and 68.08 ± 39.62 for day shift nurses, with no significant difference between shifts. Similarly, no significant differences were found in daytime sleepiness (7.49 ± 4.47 vs. 7.51 ± 4.65), sleep disturbance (24.71 ± 7.33 vs. 25.23 ± 6.64), psychological resilience (18.42 ± 4.19 vs. 17.89 ± 4.74), or depression (3.22 ± 2.60 vs. 3.49 ± 3.35). Nurses exhibited mild sleep disturbances, low depression tendencies, and moderate psychological resilience. Increased daytime sleepiness and sleep disorders correlated with higher depression tendencies and lower psychological resilience. Hospital management and education units are recommended to conduct interventions on sleep quality, depression, and psychological resilience to raise awareness among nurses.

This study was conducted to examine the Effect of Solution-Oriented Approach on Attitudes of Violence Against Women in High School Students.

Many studies have focused on the relationship between depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment, but gender differences in this relationship are unclear, especially among Chinese older adults. Therefore, this study explores whether there are gender differences between depressive symptoms and risk of cognitive impairment based on a survey of a Chinese older adult population.

Individuals who have a dual diagnosis of both a psychiatric disorder and an intellectual disability (ID) are more likely to exhibit challenging behaviour than the general population. Clinicians globally have been encouraged to use positive approaches such as Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) when managing challenging behaviour.

Psychiatric nurses face moral dilemmas that affect their mental health. We investigated whether sense of coherence (SOC) buffers psychiatric nurses' perceived effects of moral dilemmas on their psychological distress. A total of 418 nursing professionals in 6 psychiatric hospitals in Japan completed self-administered questionnaires. A negative correlation was observed between "patient rights" (r = -0.24, p < 0.001), "relationships other than patient" (r = -0.28, p < 0.001), "nursing care" (r = -0.25, p < 0.001) of moral dilemmas and "manageability" of SOC. Additionally, a negative correlation was observed between "patient rights" (r = -0.22, p < 0.001), "relationships other than patient" (r = -0.21, p < 0.001) of moral dilemmas and "comprehensibility" of SOC. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis used the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale-10 (K10), which assessed the degree of mental distress, as the dependent variable, and moral dilemmas and SOC as the independent variables, along with their interaction terms. The K10 scores significantly changed depending on the degree of moral dilemmas in the low SOC group, but not in the high SOC group. SOC buffers the effects of psychiatric nurses' perceived moral dilemmas on their psychological distress.

This study looked at the effect of group music therapy on dementia patients' levels of feelings of depression and anxiety. Quasi-experiment was carried out (N = 121) in which patients were randomly divided into a control (N = 61) and an experimental group (N = 60). Following a six-weeks, twelve-sessions trial involving both passive and active music therapy, it was discovered that the music group therapy intervention decreased the anxiety and depression levels of dementia patients in the experimental group as compared to the control group, which did not receive any music therapy. It was also noted that after three months of follow-up, participants in the experimental group still maintained a low level of anxiety and depression, but the control group's level remained high, therefore, substantiating the effect of music in lowering anxiety and depression among older ones. We urge the nursing descipline, medical professionals, carers, and care homes to include music therapy in the care they provide for patients with dementia.

Use of methamphetamine has increased in the last decade. The reasons for using methamphetamine vary according to the characteristics of the users.

This study aims to determine the reasons for methamphetamine use through a systematic review of the literature.

Although many studies have been conducted on the efficacy of behavioral activation in depression, few studies have evaluated the efficacy of this treatment in patients with mixed depression and anxiety through telecare.

This concept analysis study identified attributes and defined psychiatric nursing competency among psychiatric nurses. The approach of Walker and Avant was used for concept analysis, and a literature review was completed including eight steps. The concept of psychiatric nursing competency was identified as five attributes: professional assessment, situation coping skills, communication, cooperation, and self-management. Antecedents of the concept were psychiatric nursing education and experience, and the consequences were patient outcomes, patient safety, and efficiency of care. Psychiatric nursing competency was defined as the comprehensive ability to care for psychiatric patients appropriately and effectively in the nursing situation. This study is meaningful in that it clarified psychiatric nursing competency among psychiatric nurses, and the attributes and empirical referents of this study will be the basis for development to a psychiatric nursing competency measurement tool.
