The main aims of this study were to explore the differences between seven Egyptian clinical and non-clinical samples in death depression, as well as to estimate gender-related differences.
A cross-sectional study.
The Death Depression Scale (DDS) was administered to seven groups (
=765) of Egyptian normal (non-clinical) patients, anxiety outpatients, schizophrenic inpatients (men and women) and addicts (men only) in individual sessions.
Anxiety outpatients of both sexes obtained significantly and greatly higher death depression scores than did the other five groups, whereas the male schizophrenics, the male addicts, and the male and female non-clinical groups had the lowest death depression scores. Female schizophrenics obtained a significantly higher death depression scores than did male schizophrenics, addicts and non-clinical participants. Female anxiety outpatients and schizophrenics had higher death depression mean scores than did their male counterparts.
The present finding is consistent, in general, with previous studies on death anxiety and death obsession. What applied to death anxiety was consistent also with death depression and death obsession. That is, the death distress concept.

This study aimed to investigate knowledge, experiences, perceptions and barriers of healthcare professionals regarding palliative oral care.
The study involved 169 palliative care professionals in Brunei. Data collection tool was pretested, validated and self-administered with sections on demographics; knowledge, attitude and practices; referral of patients; perspectives; and barriers to oral palliative care.
97.3% of participants believed that palliative patients need oral care, and 11.6% of participants were trained in this area. 43.8% were unsure about referral process, and 66.1% of participants had never used a tool to assess oral conditions of palliative patients. Most common oral condition encountered was mucositis (54.5%). 74.1% of participants expected family members to be responsible, and the absence of proper guidelines for assessment (66.1%) was the top challenge in providing oral care for palliative patients.
This study highlights perceptions and experiences of healthcare professionals and need for improved care through development of oral assessment and referral practices tool for palliative patients.

This study was undertaken to discover the socioeconomic impact of breast cancer on young women in Ghana.
A qualitative exploratory and descriptive design was used to recruit 12 young women from the University of Ghana hospital, 37 Military hospital and Ridge hospital. Individual interviews were conducted face to face and data transcribed verbatim and analysed using content analysis.
Three themes emerged
. Participants perceived that breast cancer was a test of faith, a spiritual disease that is contagious and disgraceful. Mostly, participants stopped work to cater for themselves, and as a result, they encountered financial challenges. Their challenges were compounded with conscious efforts to keep diagnosis secret to avoid being stigmatized.
Young women living with breast cancer need support physically, economically and socially from healthcare providers, their families and the society at large.

To describe the development and implementation of a Dialogical Family Guidance (DFG) intervention, aimed at families with a child with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD).
The DFG components are presented and the content of a DFG training course. Professionals' experiences after the DFG training were evaluated.
Dialogical Family Guidance development phases and implementation process are examined. The Revised Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence checklist (SQUIRE 2.0) was used to provide a framework for reporting new knowledge.
The DFG training course seemed to increase possibilities of a more independent role as a nurse to deliver the DFG family intervention. The project showed that the use of dialogue can be difficult for some professionals. Analysis of the questionnaire completed after DFG training reported a high level of satisfaction. DFG training offered a new approach to deliver knowledge and understanding to families using dialogue, including tailored psychoeducation and emotional and practical guidance.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of prenatal interventions on maternal foetal attachment.
Systematic review and meta-analysis.
In this study, a comprehensive review was performed to find articles published from January 2000 - December 2019 in the form of randomized and non-randomized clinical trials. To this end, online databases including PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Proquest, Ovid, CINAHL and JAMA were searched. Duplicate articles were also excluded using Endnote X7 Reference. The results were then analysed via RevMan 5.3 software.
The results showed that foetal movement counting did not seem to be effective in increasing MFA by itself. But, this intervention alongside other attachment behaviours such as touching the belly and talking to foetus could enhance MFA. Therefore, the best interventions to improve MFA might be combined ones implemented in the form of counselling and training sessions.
