Purpose: This study investigated the psychometric properties of a 4-second interval scoring modification of the Assessment of Problem-Solving in Play (ie, Assessment of Problem-Solving in Play 4-second interval scoring [APSP-4]).
Methods: A total of 95 children (3-48 months) with or at high risk for neuromotor delay were assessed with the APSP-4 and Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-III (Bayley). APSP-4 and Bayley cognitive raw scores were compared by age (construct validity) and over time (responsiveness). Twenty percent of videos were scored twice for intra- and interrater reliability.
Results: The APSP-4 demonstrated excellent interrater (intraclass correlations [ICCs] ≥ 0.96) and intrarater (ICCs ≥ 0.99) reliability and performed similar to Bayley cognitive raw scores at different ages ( r s > 0.5), and over time ( r = 0.81). The motor delay had similar effects on APSP-4 and Bayley scores.
Conclusions: Results support the validity and reliability evidence of the APSP-4 for use over time in tracking problem-solving skills in young children aged 3 to 48 months. Future research investigating clinical implementation of the APSP-4 is needed.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of a comprehensive intervention program on cancer pain and self-efficacy in patients with lung cancer.
Methods: A total of 120 lung cancer patients with cancer pain who received treatment from January 2021 to December 2023 at The First People's Hospital of Zunyi were enrolled in this study. A within-subject design was used, comparing patients' pain and self-efficacy scores before and after a comprehensive intervention.

This study investigated the moderating effect of individuals' creative tendencies on their creative performance in interactive situations. A sample of 292 participants was selected to engage in various assessments, including the Alternative Uses Test (AUT) and the Chinese Radical Remote Associates Test (CRRAT) in single-player and paired-player modes. Additionally, participants completed the Creative Tendency Scale (CTS) as part of the data collection process.

Problem-solving therapy (PST) is a brief psychological intervention often implemented for depression. Currently, there are no tools with well-evidenced reliability to measure PST fidelity. This pilot study aimed to measure the inter-rater reliability and agreement of the blem-Slving Therapy idelity (PROOF) scale, comprising binary 14-item adherence and an 8-item competence subscales.

Background: Existing research fails to address the complex nature of nonspecific chronic lower back pain (cLBP ) despite its detrimental effect on economic, societal, and medical expenditures.
Objectives: We developed a nurse-led, mobile-delivered self-management intervention-Problem-Solving Pain to Enhance Living Well (PROPEL-M)-and evaluated its usability, feasibility, and initial efficacy for South Korean adults with nonspecific cLBP.
Methods: This study was composed of two phases: (a) lab and field usability testing for a gamified mobile device application; and (b) a pilot study employing a one-arm pre-test and post-test design among adults aged 18-60 years with nonspecific cLBP.
