Peer Recovery Coaches (PRCs) are individuals who have lived experience of addiction and have received specialized training in helping others in recovery.

Both groups received weekly support for 12 weeks. Participants completed weekly surveys during the 12-week intervention and monthly surveys during a three-month follow-up phase. The two groups had similar quantities of alcohol consumed, days of alcohol use, and days of drug use except that the PRC group had fewer days of alcohol use in the first three weeks of the intervention phase (2.05 days v. 3.5 days, p=0.04).

Many of these are focused on massage reducing prenatal depression and anxiety, increasing brain maturation in preterm neonates and on reducing jaundice in full-term newborns. Pediatric massage research has been focused on cerebral palsy and adult research on arthritis pain. Studies on older adults include the reduction of anxiety and depression in victims of stroke, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Other studies found positive effects of self-massage as well as couples’ massage that suggests that both the massager and “massagee” experience reduced stress. Surprisingly, most of the entries in the literature have been proposed protocols for studies and only one has involved potential underlying mechanisms for the positive effects of massage therapy.","PeriodicalId":287992,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Psychology and Behavioral Science (CRPBS)","volume":"55 27","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140487086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is an exploratory qualitative research which is situated in the interpretivist paradigm and where we interviewed 10 respondents by profession (20 semi-structured interviews).

Decision-making factors that have been previously described include principles of medical ethics, laws and legal precedent, and examination of the motivations for end-of-life orders. However, management remains difficult, especially in time-limited settings such as the emergency room due to the wide-ranging existence of patient factors, individual ethics, and policies at governmental and hospital levels. We examined existing literature on the topic and created a structured conceptual model of key considerations for end-of-life issues during involuntary psychiatric holds in an emergency room setting, grouped into patient, involuntary psychiatric hold, system, and provider factors. These encompass the range of factors most likely to guide decision making on individual cases that emergency clinicians will face.","PeriodicalId":287992,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Psychology and Behavioral Science (CRPBS)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125933383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When arts are integrated, well-being and quality of life become achievable. The pandemic has taught us various lessons such as the importance of deepening the study and reflection of our actions and the value of regaining the beauty of objects, confidence, and respect towards what surrounds us, including the environment. Therefore, artistic education is a medium through which educational action can be represented to imagine the experiences and situation of others. The making of an artistic project in the post- Covid educational and communitary context of a secondary school will help create practice communities and strengthen the social fabric through the attention to emergent issues.","PeriodicalId":287992,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Psychology and Behavioral Science (CRPBS)","volume":"273 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116552434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For instance, Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi and Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröebel supported romantic idealisms of childhood as an innocent and pure era of life and intended to rebuild the educational structure to offer a thought-provoking setting for unrestricted play and discovery. Although theorists had a mixture of beliefs and political inclinations, they agreed that old education traditions that were contingent on repetitive learning, drill plus practice, and an academic focused curriculum needed to be reformed. They contested that such curriculum was inappropriate for most of the children and advocated that education should be more hands-on and assist children to function successfully in society. They recommended the initiation of project learning to prepare them for their roles in life.","PeriodicalId":287992,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Psychology and Behavioral Science (CRPBS)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121427401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mothers are among those who most violate their children because they are the main ones responsible for their care. This review analyzed the articles published in the last 12 years that dealt with maternal violence. It was found that most of the studies were qualitative, written in Portuguese, carried out in Brazil, and in the area of psychology. The high production by Brazilian authors shows that this phenomenon has become visible in the country. Physical violence and neglect were the most highlighted and the mothers participating in the studies were mostly from lower socioeconomic classes. There is a gap regarding the inclusion of mothers with other socioeconomic characteristics and from other countries. The content of the articles provided a wealth of information about the life histories and personalities of these women, but only a minority explored the relational vicissitudes of the mother-child dyads, which could result in more comprehensive and effective intervention proposals in the context of DVCA.","PeriodicalId":287992,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Psychology and Behavioral Science (CRPBS)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128048429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This process takes place at the action level, which involves interactions that are enacted rather than reflected, and constituted mainly through the way caretakers achieve the involvement of infants as participants in such practices, through their reflexive monitoring of action. Only later, when people start acting at the semiotic level and the meta-reflexive level, they can position themselves vis-à-vis the significations they embody in a tacit or conscious way.","PeriodicalId":287992,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Psychology and Behavioral Science (CRPBS)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131759591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
