Seminal randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews/meta-analyses, and distress management guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and the Society for Integrative LinearOncology (SIO) are highlighted. We describe the physiological effects of distress, distress assessment, and management. Psychological treatments are summarized. Evidence-based lifestyle modifications and integrative therapies are reviewed in detail, including mindfulness-based techniques, yoga, guided imagery, breathing techniques, hypnosis, exercise, music therapy, qigong/Tai Chi, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, and improving sleep and heart rate variability. Recognition and treatment of distress can improve quality of life. More research is needed to determine the effects of managing distress on cancer outcomes, as well as the best type and duration of intervention, noting that the benefits of interventions may be specific for patients with different cancer types.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276241304373"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11624519/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142802919","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}

Using a cross-sectional study design, an online survey was administered to HCPs in MURs of West Central Illinois. A total of 316 HCPs completed the survey. The study population was predominantly White, female, and aged 55 or older. The findings of this research imply that HCPs in medically underserved regions (MURs) with high cholesterol generally do not engage in physical activity. The study showed a correlation between HCP age, high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol, implying that as HCPs age like every other individual, the likelihood of developing these conditions increases. This study emphasizes the role of time constraints and a lack of motivation in limiting HCPs' participation in physical activity in rural areas. Additionally, the study suggests that inadequate access to nutritious food and exercise facilities in rural regions contributes to lower rates of healthy eating and physical activity. Findings demonstrate how essential it is for healthcare professionals to remain vigilant about cardiovascular disease risk factors.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276241303863"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11618836/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142802920","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}

This cross-sectional quantitative study aims to examine the association between health beliefs, motivators, barriers, self-efficacy, and mental health status and following a more PBD in college students. A total of 449 Californian public university and junior college students completed an online survey. A stepwise multiple regression model was used to predict the level of intention to follow a PBD. Self-efficacy (β = 0.28, P < .001), motivators (β = 0.33, P < .001), and barriers (β = -0.19, P < .001) significantly predicted and accounted for 35% of the variance in intention to follow a PBD. The results reveal that greater self-efficacy, higher motivation, and fewer barriers predicted higher intention to follow a PBD.

However, sustained effectiveness is potentially plagued by lack of adherence to the drug and resumption of pre-weight loss behaviors. Side effects are primarily severe gastrointestinal distress but can occasionally be more serious. Health and well-being coaching (HWC) is an important obesity intervention that can be used alongside GLP-1 prescription. HWC is documented to improve medication adherence and promote healthy behavior change. A coach who understands the complexities of rapid weight loss, specifically with GLP-1, can help the patient persist with the treatment. Moreover, the coach can assist in navigating GLP-1 side effects including undesirable loss of skeletal muscle during the weight loss period. A patient-centric and collaborative relationship seem essential to the HWC process. Specific coaching techniques are suggested for working with patients losing weight. The logical, but yet to be tested, expectation is that HWC as an adjuvant intervention to GLP-1 prescription will improve medication adherence and encourage sustained weight loss and health benefits in patients with obesity.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276241302273"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11577329/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142689203","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}

Integrative treatment approaches that simultaneously address both PTSD and SUD are considered the most effective and include both pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies. In recent years, complementary interventions have garnered increased attention due to their broad appeal and potential therapeutic benefits in enhancing existing treatments for PTSD and SUD. This review explores the existing literature on the use of nature-based activities, such as hiking, camping, sailing, and surfing in treating individuals with co-occurring PTSD and SUD. Nature-based activities offer promising adjunctive benefits, including the reduction of PTSD symptoms and craving levels. While evidence supports the therapeutic value of nature-based activities, current research remains limited. Further research is needed to better understand their therapeutic role and to refine their implementation in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276241300475"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11571177/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142676485","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}

Participants rated the importance of LM core competencies and the impact of community conditions on patient health. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, factor analysis, regression models, and t-tests. This study encompassed 447 responses. The findings revealed that while respondents recognized the effect of certain SDoH, such as access to unhealthy food (89%), alcohol (86%), and tobacco (83%), they showed less awareness of factors like racism and discrimination (53%), and access to parks (56%) or education (60%). Gender and the level of social deprivation in their area were significant factors influencing respondents' perception of SDoH impact. Additionally, those who valued and used lifestyle medicine core competencies were more likely to acknowledge the influence of SDoH on patient health. Our findings suggest that comprehensive education on SDoH, especially with a focus on community aspects, is crucial across all levels of medical training to address this gap and ensure equitable care.","PeriodicalId":47480,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"15598276241277460"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11571169/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142676222","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}
