This report describes the case of a 31-year-old male lumberjack with severe self-inflicted injuries, including the amputation of both auricles and the penis, under the influence of cannabinoids, mitragynine, and 7-hydroxymitragynine. Emergency surgery was performed, and psychiatric evaluation revealed substance-induced psychosis. The patient's motivation for reconstructive penile surgery led to abstinence from the substance use and cooperation with treatment. Five months after hospitalization, successful penile reconstruction was completed. The patient remained abstinent and was engaged in regular psychiatric follow-ups, showing no signs of acute psychopathology. This case underscores the importance of using a multidisciplinary approach to manage severe self-harm behaviors, and highlights the critical role of patient motivation in achieving positive outcomes.

PURPOSE: Children experience painful invasive procedures very intensely. The aim of health professionals is to help children minimize this traumatic experience. The Simplified Faces Pain Scale (S-FPS) and Simplified Concrete Ordinal Pain Scale (S-COS) tools offer children the possibility of self-assessing their pain. This can then be the basis for tailoring pain relief to the child's individual need. The aim of this study is to present the validation procedure of the S-FPC, S-COS methods. DESIGN AND METHODS: 135 children aged 3-6 years assessed their pain using the self-reported S-FPS and S-COS methods at three consecutive times, and their results were compared with the commonly used Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability assessment scale. Intra-class correlations (ICC) were used to assess inter-rater agreement. Convergent validity was verified using Spearman's correlation coefficient. RESULTS: This study demonstrated good validity for both the S FPS and S-COS assessment tools. The ICC coefficient showed good inter-rater correlation. Spearman's correlation coefficient showed a strong correlation between the scales. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: It is not possible to clearly select a best method of pain assessment in preschool children. To choose the most appropriate method, it is necessary to take into account the child's cognitive development and preferences.

Social desirability reporting leads to over estimations of church attendance. To date, researchers have treated over-reporting of church attendance as a general phenomenon, and have been unable to determine the demographic correlates of inaccuracy in these self-reports. By comparing over eight months of observational data on church attendance (n = 48 services) to self-report in a rural Fijian village, we find that 1) self-report does not reliably predict observed attendance, 2) women with two or more children (≥ 2) are more likely to over-report their attendance than women with fewer children (≤ 1), and 3) self-report of religiosity more reliably predicts observed church attendance than does self-report of church attendance. Further, we find that third-party judgements of church attendance by fellow villagers are more reliably associated with observed church attendance than self-report. Our findings suggest that researchers interested in estimating behavioral variation, particularly in domains susceptible to social desirability effects, should consider developing and employing third-party methods to mitigate biases inherent to self-report.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this scoping review is to systematically identify assessment instruments that are used for the self-report of pain by hospitalized stroke patients with communication problems. INTRODUCTION: To the best of the authors' knowledge, there are no existing instruments specifically dedicated to measuring pain in stroke patients with communication problems. Pain measurement instruments currently in use may complicate pain assessment in these patients. Additionally, there is a lack of consensus regarding these patients' ability to self-report pain using existing pain instruments. INCLUSION CRITERIA: The review will consider studies that focus on hospitalized adults where at least one subgroup has been diagnosed with stroke as well as associated communication problems attributable to a stroke. The concept of interest is assessment instruments used for the self-report of pain by these patients. The scoping review will include systematic reviews, quantitative studies of any design, and mixed methods studies. METHODS: The search will occur in three phases: an initial limited search, a full search, and a screening of the reference lists of all the included articles. The key information sources include: PubMed, CINAHL, Nursing@Ovid, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase. All identified citations will be uploaded to a reference management program, and the titles and abstracts screened. Full texts of studies potentially meeting the inclusion criteria will be assessed in detail, with relevant data extracted and reported in tabular as well as descriptive format that aligns with the objectives and scope of this review.

BACKGROUND: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a major health and economic problem. Increased morbidity, prolonged hospital stay and the need for additional treatments increase the financial costs of healthcare institutions. The aim of this article is to analyze the incidence of SSIs, their impact on hospital length of stay and economic burden under Czech conditions. METHODS: We analyzed hospitalizations in the period from 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2024 that were classified as SSI according to the CZ-DRG. A total of 2,134 hospitalizations were included, of which 212 (9.93%) were complicated by SSI. We recorded the length of hospital stay, number of reoperations and their duration. RESULTS: SSI hospitalizations accounted for 9.93% of all cases but 25.3% of hospital days. The economic impact of SSIs was expressed as a case-mix of 24.07%. SSI cases required 19.66% of all operations and 16.43% of total operating time. CONCLUSION: It is evident from the findings of this study that SSIs are not only a medical problem, but also an economic one. The economic analysis conducted in this study demonstrates that, even with higher reimbursement for SSI cases, this reimbursement does not cover the additional costs associated with prolonged hospitalization and the necessity for reoperations.

OBJECTIVES: Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) for persons with dementia (PwD) have yielded mixed results, possibly attributable to the fact that little is known about the validity and reliability of trait mindfulness self-report measures in PwD. This narrative review sought to identify studies involving self-reported trait mindfulness and other clinical measures that may hold information on the convergent validity and reliability of these measures in PwD. METHODS: Scientific databases were searched for studies involving PwD and mindfulness assessments. RESULTS: N = 426 studies from PubMed and N = 156 from PsychInfo databases were reviewed. Four cross-sectional studies were identified that allowed inferences about the validity of mindfulness measures. A qualitative review indicated that convergent validity with other measures varied with sample heterogeneity and cognitive impairment. Merely one MBI included self-reported trait mindfulness, however without reporting sample-specific validity or reliability. CONCLUSIONS: Despite efforts to implement MBIs in PwD, information on basic methodological psychometric issues is minimal. Future studies ought to address the validity and reliability of self-reported mindfulness in detail across different stages of dementia. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Results of MBIs need to be considered cautiously. Basic information about psychometric properties of mindfulness self-report measures is required and these measures need to be included systematically in MBIs.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this scoping review was to identify assessment instruments used for the self-report of pain by hospitalized patients who have had a stroke and who have communication problems. INTRODUCTION: Pain assessment in various patient groups has received considerable attention, and a variety of pain assessment instruments exists. Nevertheless, there is a lack of consensus regarding which pain assessment instruments are used for self-report of pain in stroke patients with communication problems. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review included articles that focused on hospitalized adults who have had a stroke, have communication problems attributable to a stroke, and describe the use of an assessment instrument for the self-report of pain. The scoping review considered systematic reviews, quantitative and qualitative studies, and mixed method studies. METHODS: Ten databases were searched from inception to August 2020, using Embase as the key information source (it yielded 424 papers). Hand-searching of the references of the included articles yielded an additional 12 papers. Papers written in any language were considered. A data extraction table was created to record relevant information in line with the goals and results of each article, the sample studied, and the pain assessment instrument used. RESULTS: Ten papers were included in the review, most of which were descriptive studies. Most papers were from the United Kingdom and the United States. The most common communication problem in stroke patients was aphasia. The participants received care in various hospital settings (eg, rehabilitation units, comprehensive stroke units, palliative care). Eleven assessment instruments were identified. In most cases, the assessment instruments focused on assessing pain presence and pain intensity. The most frequently used unidimensional pain intensity instrument was the numerical rating scale. Four instruments were multidimensional, of which two assessed health-related quality of life, including pain. The most thorough pain assessment instrument was the ShoulderQ, which contains 10 verbal questions and three visual vertical graphic rating scales that focus on the assessment of stroke-related shoulder pain. CONCLUSIONS: A range of both unidimensional and multidimensional self-report pain instruments was identified; however, of all the possible communication problems, most studies focused solely on patients with mild to moderate aphasia. Therefore, further research is recommended, including studies that also enroll patients with various stroke-related communication problems other than aphasia. In addition, the instruments should be translated for research in non-Western countries. Finally, apart from descriptive studies, experimental research with a robust randomized controlled trial design is needed to examine the effect of pain-inducing procedures on the perceived pain in patients with stroke-related communication problems.

OBJECTIVE: We analyzed adult ADHD symptoms in a cross-cultural context, including investigating the occurrence and potential correlates of adult ADHD and psychometric examination of the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) Screener. METHOD: Our analysis is based on a large-scale research project involving 42 countries (International Sex Survey, N=72,627, 57% women, Mage=32.84; SDage=12.57). RESULTS: The ASRS Screener demonstrated good reliability and validity, along with partial invariance across different languages, countries, and genders. The occurrence of being at risk for adult ADHD was relatively high (21.4% for women, 18.1% for men). The highest scores were obtained in the US, Canada, and other English-speaking Western countries, with significantly lower scores among East Asian and non-English-speaking European countries. Moreover, ADHD symptom severity and occurrence were especially high among gender-diverse individuals. Significant associations between adult ADHD symptoms and age, mental and sexual health, and socioeconomic status were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Present results show significant cross-cultural variability in adult ADHD occurrence as well as highlight important factors related to adult ADHD. Moreover, the importance of further research on adult ADHD in previously understudied populations (non-Western countries) and minority groups (gender-diverse individuals) is stressed. Lastly, the present analysis is consistent with previous evidence showing low specificity of adult ADHD screening instruments and contributes to the current discussion on accurate adult ADHD screening and diagnosis.

UNLABELLED: ABSTRACTBeck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) is one of the most-used rating scales. It was developed as a tool administered either as a self-rating or interview-based, observer-rating scale. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study is to compare BDI-II scores obtained with two standard methods of administration in community-based older persons. METHODS: BDI-II was administered at first in the self-rated version to a sample of 60 mentally healthy older persons (age 60-87 years). Afterward, the interview-based administration was performed. ANALYSES: We compared the scores with nonparametric tests - Spearman's correlation coefficient and Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test. We also computed internal consistency. RESULTS: Self-rated BDI-II yielded significantly higher total score than interview (p < 0.001, P = 88%). The correlation between total scores was moderate (rs = 0.46, p < 0.001). Item analysis revealed a larger decrease (lower scores) in the somatic items in the interview-based version. CONCLUSIONS: The two methods of administration result in different total score in healthy older persons. Therefore, interpretation of the scores should reflect the administration, which should be always specified in the studies.
