This study provided preliminary information on the perceived impact of faculty practice on nurse practitioner education including the benefits and challenges. Findings support faculty practice as having a positive perceived impact on nurse practitioner education.

These days, a growing number of social interactions occur through video-mediated communication (VMC). However, little is known about how socially anxious individuals use this technology. Here, we examined the visual attention patterns of high and low socially anxious individuals during a live interaction with a study confederate using a typical online VMC setup.

High (n=30) and low (n=30) socially anxious participants completed a VMC-based social interaction task comprised of two parts A one-on-one acquaintance interview followed by a one-on-one short presentation assignment. State anxiety was measured before and after the task, and gaze data was collected throughout.

High socially anxious participants experienced elevated anxiety following the interaction task, whereas no elevation was observed for low socially anxious participants. Gaze data revealed that high socially anxious participants dwelled longer on the confederate's image during the acquaintance interview compared with the presentation task, theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.

Identification with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is uniquely related to NSSI behavior and predicts future NSSI. This exploratory, mixed methods study used implicit and explicit approaches to further understanding of NSSI identity.

Participants included 15 treatment-seeking adults (60% female, 87% Caucasian) with lifetime NSSI. Participant age ranged from 19 to 38 years (M=25.33, SD=6.10). Implicit tasks were completed at two time points in a test-retest design, followed by a qualitative interview.

Qualitative data suggest that explicit NSSI identity is relevant to some individuals with NSSI history. Mixed methods analyses indicate that individuals who explicitly identify with NSSI have stronger implicit NSSI identities than those who do not, and report more methods of NSSI on average.

Results are novel, although exploratory in nature due to the sample size, and may not be generalizable to non-clinical samples or individuals currently engaging in NSSI.

Individuals with stronger explicit identity evidence higher implicit identity scores, suggesting a potential higher risk profile for future NSSI. This study offers further support for the value of including both implicit and explicit assessment of NSSI identity in risk assessment.

According to the Neurocognitive Framework for Regulation Expectation (NFRE), actual and ideal self-esteem are related to how individuals anticipate and respond to a stressful event. Based on this framework, we investigated whether in individuals with low ideal self-esteem (moderator), a positive relationship between actual self-esteem and reactive autonomic regulation would be mediated by the amount of anticipatory autonomic regulation.

Forty-five healthy females prepared a speech (i.e., anticipation) and performed it in front of a camera (i.e., stressor). Actual and ideal self-esteem were measured with the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure. Anticipatory and reactive autonomic stress regulation were indexed by heart rate variability, and affective responses were assessed via self-report.

Results were in line with predictions based on the NFRE when ideal self-esteem was low, higher actual self-esteem was associated with higher reactive autonomic regulation, and this association was mediated by higher anticipatory autonomic regulation.

Because only female undergraduates were recruited, replication within a more heterogeneous sample is necessary to further generalize these findings.

These results support the hypothesis, based on the NFRE, that actual and ideal self-esteem interact in predicting the relationship between anticipatory and reactive stress regulation, and are a step forward in the understanding of the mechanisms underlying successful stress regulation.

This study explored the potential mechanisms of long-term recurrence (LTR) of atrial fibrillation (AF) 3 years after AF catheter ablation (AFCA).

AF is a progressive disease, and the mechanism underlying long-term recurrence after AFCA is unclear.

Among 2,209 consecutive patients who underwent AFCA, 1,325 (age 59 ± 11 years, 72.5% male) who underwent regular rhythm follow-ups for >3 years were enrolled. Among them, 659 patients remained in sinus rhythm (SR), 327 recurred after 3 to 12months (short-term recurrence [STR]), 235 after 1 to 3 years (mid-term recurrence [MTR]), and 104 after 3 years (long-term recurrence [LTR]). Two hundred-eighteen recurrent patients underwent repeat procedures 112, 80, and 26 in the STR, MTR, and LTR groups, respectively.

The pre-ablation left-atrial (LA) dimensions were larger in the STR (p<0.001) and MTR groups (p<0.001) but not in the LTR group compared with the SR group. GSK1325756 Low LA voltages were independently associated with an LTR (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.57 [0.36 to 0.92]; p=0.022). Upon the redo mapping, the number of reconnected pulmonary veins (PVs) was 2.0 (interquartile range [IQR] 0 to 3), 1.5 (IQR 0 to 3), and 1.0 (IQR 0 to 2) in the STR, MTR, and LTR groups, respectively (p=0.030). Post-ablation extra PV triggers were more commonly found in the LTR than STR or MTR groups (LTR 40.9% to STR 19.2%; p=0.014) during the second procedure.

The LTR group had a similar baseline LA size and significantly lower LA voltage than the SR group.Inthe repeat procedures, the LTR group had fewer reconnected PVs, but extra PV triggers were more commonthanintheSTR and MTR groups.
