Article Abstract

Background: Daily hassles, as minor stressful events, are common in life. However, they have received less attention in previous studies on relationships between stressful events and nicotine product use. Meanwhile, daily uplifts have also been investigated less in research on nicotine use.

Purpose: The current study was conducted to explore the relationships between daily measures of hassles, uplifts, and the use of nicotine products (ie, cigarettes, e-cigarettes).

Methods: This was a daily diary study. Participants completed 1 diary each day for up to 7 days. One hundred and eighty-one adults who currently use cigarettes or e-cigarettes solely or co-use both completed a total of 886 daily diary entries. Multilevel modeling was used to predict the daily use of the above nicotine products from daily hassles, daily uplifts, and their interactions.

Results: Daily hassles were positively associated with any daily nicotine use. There were no significant associations between daily hassles and daily cigarette use or between daily hassles and daily e-cigarette use. Daily uplifts were not directly associated with any behaviors, but daily hassles and daily uplifts showed a significant interaction in affecting any daily nicotine use, daily cigarette use, and daily e-cigarette use. In each use pattern, increasing levels of uplifts were associated with an attenuation of the relationship between hassles and the use of nicotine products.

Conclusions: It may be worthwhile to explore further the effects of daily hassles and daily uplifts on nicotine product use through ecological momentary assessments.

Background: Residency is a critical period in a physician's training, characterized by significant physical, cognitive, and emotional demands that make residents highly susceptible to stress and associated negative health outcomes. While physiological signals such as heart rate have been explored as potential biomarkers of stress, their predictive utility in high-stress environments such as the intensive care unit (ICU) remains inconclusive, especially when factoring in atypical events that can further exacerbate resident stress levels.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between daily average heart rate (AHR) and perceived stress among ICU residents and examine the moderating effect of atypical events on this relationship.

Virtual reality (VR) can offer unique advantages for studying how individuals respond to stressful events, including racial discrimination, but the ethics of using VR in this context remain underexplored. We briefly review possible scientific benefits and risks of using VR to examine racial discrimination. We also report results from 130 participants of color ( = 24.

Life and academic stress during the transition to young adulthood often lends university students particularly susceptible to sleep problems, which in turn adversely impact their well-being. While peer and family support can mitigate the effect of stress on maladjustment through sleep, the short-term, within-person protective roles of such support in daily lives remain largely underexplored. Using a measurement burst design, this study investigated these short-term effects on impulsivity-a transdiagnostic marker for internalizing and externalizing problems-in proximal daily processes, as well as their potential developmental changes across university on a long-term developmental timescale.

This study compared mindfulness and parenting daily hassles (PDH) among mothers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developmental delay (DD), and Fragile X syndrome (FXS), and explored diagnostic group as a moderator of the relationship between mindfulness and PDH. Mothers of children with ASD (n = 166), DD (n = 113), and FXS (n = 74) completed measures of PDH, trait mindfulness, and mindful parenting. Mothers reported comparable levels of trait mindfulness and PDH, but the FXS group (versus ASD and DD) reported higher levels of mindful parenting.
