This scoping review aimed to explore and map these implications using the JBI methodology and PRISMA ScR Checklist. It included 11 studies published between 1988 and 2022 from the UK, Australia, USA, South Korea, and Hong Kong, involving over 122 nurses in acute care settings. The findings reveal three major themes: source of psychological discomfort, coping resource, and peer support and cohesion. Negative emotions such as stress, anxiety, dissatisfaction, and tension are linked to handovers, particularly bedside handovers, which raise confidentiality issues and induce scrutiny among nurses. The lack of standardized training and consistent procedures also contributes to stress, especially for newly graduated and less experienced nurses. Conversely, handovers function as structured rituals providing peer support and a sense of control, helping nurses manage psychological demands. To mitigate negative impacts, implementing standardized handover procedures and comprehensive training programs for new nurses is essential. Encouraging open communication and fostering a supportive environment can enhance team cohesion and reduce stress. Future research should measure the impact of different handover practices on nurses' mental health and explore their supportive, social, protective, and restorative functions. This review highlights the critical role of nursing handovers in supporting nurses' mental health and underscores the need for standardized practices to improve the well-being of nursing professionals and the quality of patient care.</p>","PeriodicalId":45684,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Public Health","volume":"12 1","pages":"106-123"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11999807/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144019880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aimed to determine the continuing barriers and supports needed for expanding buprenorphine prescribing and compared barriers experienced by emergency department (ED) physicians with those in other practice settings, given the unique aspects of the ED practice setting. We obtained survey data from August through November 2021 from 412 X-waivered Illinois physicians licensed to prescribe buprenorphine as MOUD, 95 (23.1%) of whom worked primarily in a hospital-based ED. Survey questions included: 1) Professional background, practice characteristics, and prescribing practices; 2) barriers to prescribing buprenorphine; 3) barriers to expanding prescribing; and 4) training/additional supports needed to facilitate buprenorphine prescribing. We used bivariate crosstabulations and multivariable OLS and binary logistic regressions to compare the responses of physicians practicing in the ED versus other practice settings and to compare physicians who prescribed buprenorphine in the past year with those who had not. There were few statistically significant differences among the examined subgroups indicating general agreement regardless of practice setting and prescribing status. The most frequently perceived barrier was having an inadequate community-based behavioral health treatment system to which OUD patients could be referred. Insurance reimbursement, difficulties building practice- and community-based systems to support buprenorphine prescribing, and challenges knowing where and how to refer patients for follow-up and ongoing support services were also prominent concerns. Based on study findings, efforts to expand buprenorphine for OUD might focus on providing support to make and manage treatment referrals and expanding the availability of community-based behavioral healthcare services. Building networks of care could potentially have a greater impact on MOUD availability than increasing the number of practitioners trained to prescribe buprenorphine.</p>","PeriodicalId":45684,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Public Health","volume":"12 1","pages":"56-76"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11999815/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144001047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emotional intelligence, which involves recognizing, understanding, and managing one's own emotions as well as those of others, has garnered attention for its potential impact on VARIOUS aspects of health and well-being, including weight management. Moreover, childhood obesity remains a significant public health concern worldwide, with multifaceted factors contributing to its prevalence and persistence. Research is starting to reveal how sleep patterns and emotional intelligence (ΕΙ) influence children's weight status.
