Article Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in reducing caregiving burden among mothers of children with chronic conditions.
Design And Methods: A clinical trial with a pre-test and post-test design was conducted, including 60 mothers of children with chronic conditions selected through convenience sampling. Participants were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group completed a six-session asynchronous web-based ACT program, delivered weekly via videos, while the control group received no intervention. Data on caregiving burden were collected before and after the intervention and analyzed for effectiveness.
Results: The ACT intervention significantly reduced caregiving burden among mothers in the intervention group (P < 0.05), while the caregiving burden in the control group increased over the study period.
Conclusion: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is an effective intervention for reducing caregiving burden in mothers of children with chronic conditions.
Practice Implications: The findings support the integration of ACT into nursing practices to achieve family-centered care and improve outcomes for caregivers.

Supporting Informal Dementia Caregivers Through an iSupport Web-Based Primary Health Care Intervention: Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Mixed Methods Study.

Dementia Care and Research Center, Peking University Institute of Mental Health (Sixth Hospital), Beijing, China.
Background: Informal caregivers of home-dwelling people with dementia experience significant unmet needs. However, family physician teams as primary health care gatekeepers for aging populations in China remain an underused resource for structured caregiver support.
Objective: This hybrid effectiveness-implementation study aimed to evaluate a policy-aligned integration of the World Health Organization's iSupport web-based program with China's family physician contract services for informal dementia caregivers while systematically assessing implementation determinants using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR).

Purpose: Gender bias against girls may affect health-seeking behavior and outcomes of childhood cancer. This study aimed to study the nature and extent of gender bias in health care among caregivers of childhood patients with cancer and also in community.
Methods: This cross-sectional mixed-methods study was conducted in a tertiary cancer hospital and an urban community between July 2021 and July 2023.
Background: The study aimed to adapt a stress and well-being intervention delivered via a mobile health (mHealth) app for Latinx Millennial caregivers. This demographic, born between 1981 and 1996, represents a significant portion of caregivers in the United States, with unique challenges due to higher mental distress and poorer physical health compared to non-caregivers. Latinx Millennial caregivers face additional barriers, including higher uninsured rates and increased caregiving burdens.

Background: Acute viral respiratory infections (AVRIs) rank among the most common causes of hospitalisation worldwide, imposing significant healthcare burdens and driving the development of pharmacological treatments. However, inconsistent outcome reporting across clinical trials limits evidence synthesis and its translation into clinical practice. A core outcome set (COS) for pharmacological treatments in hospitalised adults with AVRIs is essential to standardise trial outcomes and improve research comparability.

Diarrhoea due to rotavirus remains a significant cause of child mortality in developing regions. Caregivers' perspectives on the social determinants of gastroenteritis and childhood vaccination, including the rotavirus vaccine, were explored through focus group discussions in Ethiopia (n = 6), Kenya (n = 14), and Malawi (n = 10), using a combination of thematic and framework analysis approaches. The results show that diarrhoea was perceived to be a burden in all three countries, particularly among infants, due to challenges in WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene) infrastructures and poverty.
