4,6-Bis(4-fluoro­phen­yl)-2-phenyl-1H-indazol-3(2H)-one

In the title compound, C25H16F2N2O, the pyrazole ring is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.028 Å) and makes a dihedral angle of 5.86 (11)° with the indazole benzene ring. The dihedral angle between the pyrazole ring and the unsubstituted phenyl ring is 28.19 (11)°. The dihedral angles between the unsubstituted phenyl and the two fluoro­phenyl groups are 57.69 (10) and 18.01 (10)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by inter­molecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯F inter­actions, forming infinite chains along the b axis with graph-set motif R 3 2(19). The crystal structure is further consolidated by π–π stacking [centroid–centroid distances = 3.5916 (13) and 3.6890 (13) Å] and C—H⋯π inter­actions

FINDING MEANING IN LIFE FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER: A SALUTOGENIC APPROACH

Parenting a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has never been easy. Research has shown that parenting stress is much higher whose children are diagnosed with developmental disabilities such as ASD than typically developing children. The contributing factors include, but not limited to, the child’s limited social and communication skills and restricted and stereotypical activities (core deficits of autism). Parents lacking knowledge about ASD often resort to other forms of interventions in the hope to find a cure and believe it can help to eradicate the deficits of the disorder. Such treatments are known as complementary and/or alternative medicine and are not evidence-based. As there is no current remedy for ASD, perhaps it is time for parents to stop finding a cure to this disorder. In this paper, the author uses the application of the theory of salutogenesis and with the use of the three salutogenic components – meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability, aim to help parents establish a sense of coherence by identifying, understanding and managing their children with ASD.  Article visualizations

Defining Risk in Home Visiting

Risks associated with home visiting have been acknowledged in the nursing literature since the 19th century, yet there is not a well-defined body of literature on this subject. This void in the literature needs to be addressed in view of the current emphasis on practice in the community and the increase in the number of nurses and other health professionals that are new to the field who currently make visits. This article explores how different disciplines define risk and risk taking, identifies attributes of those who become involved in risk situations, and proposes the Cognitive-Perceptual Model of Risk in Home Visiting (CPMRHV) for community and public health nursing. The CPMRHV model provides a framework for identifying how field workers (FWs) perceive, assess, and evaluate situations relative to risk and suggests the development of policies and procedures to empower them and to assure the quality of care

Evaluating the impacts of the Tennessee master logger program

A field evaluation of Best Management Practices was used to determine the effectiveness of the Tennessee Master Logger Program (TMLP). The study was focussed and conducted on non-industrial private forestland (NIPF), and excluded harvests on land owned by forest industry or public forests. Completed logging jobs were scored on 4 possible disturbance areas of timber harvesting: 1) haul roads, 2) skid trails, 3) log decks, and 4) Streamside Management Zones (SMZs). These four scores were added together to yield an overall BMP score. Of 191 randomly chosen observation sites across the state of Tennessee, 38, or 19.9%, were logged by trained Master Loggers. A significant association (p \u3c .05) was found between logger training and overall BMP score using a point biserial correlation. Only 17 of the 627 scores (some sites did not have all 4 areas of the harvest, for example, SMZs are not necessary on sites without streams), or 2.6%, exhibited threats to water quality. Of these 17, Master Loggers were only responsible for 3 water quality threats. Point biserial correlations also indicated that a substantial association (p \u3c .05) existed between harvests completed by Master Loggers and the scores of haul roads, skid trails, log decks, and SMZ grades. This study indicates that those loggers who received training from the TMLP were more likely to implement Best Management Practices during harvesting operations on NIPF than those loggers who did not participate in the Tennessee Master Logger Program

Personality traits, self -efficacy of job performance, and susceptibility to stress as predictors of academic performance of nurse education programs

The United States is experiencing a shortage of registered nurses, and institutions of higher education are unable to graduate enough prepared nurses to reduce this employment shortage. A significant relationship between personality traits and academic performance has been found; however, how personality traits combine with students\u27 self-efficacy of job performance and stress susceptibility to impact nursing students\u27 academic performance has yet to be demonstrated. This study, grounded in the five-factor model (FFM) of personality traits, self-efficacy, and stress theories, sought to determine whether self-assessments of the NEO-Five Factor Inventory, the Nursing Practice Self-Efficacy survey, and the Susceptibility Under Stress Survey would predict academic performance, as measured by grade point average (GPA). The sample consisted of 197 nursing students attending 2-year nurse education programs at 3 community colleges in the northeastern United States. This correlational, quantitative study examined the relationship among the personality traits of the FFM, self-efficacy of job performance, stress susceptibility, and the GPAs of nursing students. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the strength of the relationship among the variables. Self-efficacy and conscientiousness were significant predictors of GPA. Given that nurse education programs are a rigorous field of study with high attrition rates, the implications for social change include the addition of specific types of support for nursing students to facilitate their progress and success in a competitive degree program that will benefit them and address the nursing shortage, which ultimately benefits hospitals and patients
