Psychotherapy training in psychiatry: a systematic review and narrative synthesis on the supervision experiences of early-career psychiatrists.

BACKGROUND: Supervision is a fundamental component of psychotherapy training, transforming theoretical knowledge into clinical skills through real-world practice. Psychotherapy training practices vary widely between countries, training programs, and over time, including supervision. Our systematic review aimed to investigate and describe the experiences of psychotherapy supervision through early-career psychiatrists' (ECPs) views. METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and PubPsych for survey-based studies on ECPs' experiences of psychotherapy supervision during or after their psychiatry training and reported our findings according to the PRISMA guidelines. Of 32,877 articles screened, 29 articles were included. Each article underwent quality assessment, and results were synthesized narratively. RESULTS: Included articles published between 2000 and 2025, were from Europe (N = 16, 55.1%), the Americas (N = 5, 17.2%), Western Pacific (N = 4, 13.7%), South-East Asia (N = 2, 7%), Eastern Mediterranean (N = 1, 3.5%), and Africa (N = 1, 3.5%), with a total of 4691 participants. Supervision access rates ranged from 26.2% in Nigeria to 85.5% in Russia, with significant variation across countries and psychotherapy modalities. Most ECPs received 50-100 total hours of supervision, frequently delivered in weekly sessions. While formats, individual, group, or mixed, varied by country and training scheme, supervision was generally provided by a psychiatrist-psychotherapist. Common learning techniques included oral consultations and case discussions, followed by audio recordings or transcripts. The need to self-fund psychotherapy supervision costs was identified as a prominent barrier. CONCLUSIONS: Psychotherapy supervision is inconsistent globally, with barriers including supervisor availability and cost. There is a large implementation gap between recommendations and evaluated practice. Digital tools and competency-based frameworks may improve access and quality.

How AI-supported intelligent systems support infection prevention and control training in healthcare: A systematic review of educational functions and outcomes.

AIMS: Artificial intelligence (AI)-supported intelligent systems have been increasingly incorporated into infection prevention and control (IPC) education and training, primarily to support the monitoring of observable behaviors and the provision of feedback. However, existing evidence has focused largely on short-term compliance outcomes, with limited synthesis of the educational role of AI-supported intelligent systems in supporting sustained IPC competence. This systematic review examined how AI-supported intelligent systems have been designed and used to support IPC education and training, with a focus on system characteristics, educational functions, and reported outcomes. DESIGN: A systematic literature search was conducted across the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, and CINAHL databases. DATA SOURCES: A total of 18 studies met the inclusion criteria. Findings were qualitatively synthesized according to system design characteristics, educational functions, and outcome domains. REVIEW METHODS: Methodological quality was appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. RESULTS: Most AI-supported intelligent systems focused on hand hygiene and relied on fully automated monitoring systems to capture behaviors and provide performance feedback. Educational functions were predominantly limited to performance assessment, automated feedback, and reminders. Outcomes were mainly measured using compliance or performance metrics, whereas sustained behavioral change and decision quality were rarely assessed. CONCLUSIONS: AI-supported intelligent systems have been used primarily to reinforce short-term IPC performance and compliance. However, their current applications for supporting sustained competence over time remain limited. The findings of this review suggest that AI-supported intelligent systems may serve as maintenance-oriented educational support by extending learning beyond initial instruction through repeated practice and feedback. Future research should prioritize outcome measures that capture the durability of performance and decision-making processes to better align AI-supported intelligent systems used in IPC education and training with the educational demands of clinical practice.

Identifying stakeholder behaviors for competency-based pharmacy education: A stage 1 behavior change wheel analysis.

INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES: Competency-Based Pharmacy Education (CBPE) is a strategic priority for preparing graduates to meet evolving healthcare needs. However, efforts to implement CBPE can stall due to behavioral challenges among faculty, administrators, preceptors, and learners. This study aimed to apply Stage 1 of the Behavior Change Wheel (BCW) to identify stakeholder-specific behaviors and associated determinants needed to implement the five core components of CBPE. METHODS: A multi-method approach grounded in the BCW, the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation - Behavior (COM-B) model, and the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) was used. Data were gathered through (1) targeted literature review; (2) structured focus groups with competency-based education experts and pharmacy education stakeholders; and (3) an iterative consensus process. Behaviors were mapped to the five CBPE components: (1) defined competencies, (2) developmental progression, (3) tailored instruction, (4) authentic experiential learning, and (5) programmatic assessment, and then mapped to COM-B and TDF constructs. RESULTS: Over fifty stakeholder-specific behaviors were identified and specified across the CBPE framework. This revealed shared barriers such as limited instructional design knowledge (psychological capability), insufficient assessment of infrastructure (physical opportunity), and misaligned professional identity (reflective motivation). Key TDF domains included knowledge, environmental context, beliefs about capabilities, and professional roles. The behavioral problem statements, specifications, and determinants were identified to support future intervention planning. CONCLUSION: This Stage 1 analysis provides a behaviorally grounded foundation for CBPE implementation by identifying stakeholder behaviors and conditions that enable change. These findings will inform the development of readiness-to-change assessments and targeted interventions (BCW Stages 2 and 3), supporting scalable and sustainable CBPE transformation in pharmacy education.

Development, feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of NutriSOS®: A behavioral mobile app to promote sustainable diets.

The primary objective of this study was to describe the development of the NutriSOS&#xae; app and to evaluate its feasibility and acceptability for its use in the NutriSOS&#xae; Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to promote sustainable diets. A secondary objective was to explore preliminary changes in dietary and physical activity behaviors and environmental impact following app use. The NutriSOS&#xae; app integrates personalized dietary advice, educational content, self-monitoring, and social interaction features. A single-arm, pre-post pilot study was conducted in 37 young Mexican adults over four weeks. Feasibility, acceptability, quality, and usability were assessed using online surveys, alongside exploratory changes in dietary and physical activity behaviors, environmental indicators, and their association with perceived behavioral determinants. Feasibility and acceptability were high overall, with favorable responses reaching up to 100% in key components such as the nutritional guide and learning modules, and above 90% for messaging, registration, and design. Greater variability was observed in some sections, particularly the 24-h recall (41-86%). Reductions in red and processed meat and ultra-processed food consumption were observed (from 3 to 1 times/week, p&#xa0;<&#xa0;0.01), with &#x223c;60% decreases in their related environmental footprints (p&#xa0;<&#xa0;0.01) and favorable self-reported behavioral determinants (p&#xa0;<&#xa0;0.0001). Physical activity type and intensity changed (p&#xa0;<&#xa0;0.05). These findings support NutriSOS&#xae; as a feasible and acceptable tool, while highlighting areas for refinement, particularly those related to the time and effort required for data entry, prior to its implementation in the NutriSOS&#xae; RCT, in which its effectiveness will be formally evaluated.

Post-intervention effectiveness of a computerized personalized cognitive stimulation program adapted according to cognitive reserve in older adults without cognitive impairment in Primary Care: A randomized clinical trial.

BACKGROUND: Cognitive reserve may influence responsiveness to cognitive interventions, yet it is rarely used to tailor computerized stimulation. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a computerized cognitive stimulation program personalized according to cognitive reserve on cognition, reserve-related activities, and digital competence in community-dwelling older adults without cognitive impairment in Primary Care. METHODS: In this randomized clinical trial, 102 adults aged &#x2265;65 years with normal cognitive performance were recruited from three primary care centers in Zaragoza, Spain, and stratified by cognitive reserve level before random allocation to intervention or control. The intervention comprised digital literacy sessions followed by 8 weeks of home-based computerized cognitive stimulation tailored to participants' cognitive reserve profiles and life history. Controls received a single group-based health education session focused on maintaining everyday cognitive activity. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and post-intervention using global cognition (MEC-35), the Cognitive Reserve Questionnaire, the Mobile Device Proficiency Questionnaire-16, and domain-specific neuropsychological tests. A total of 100 participants completed the final evaluation and were included in complete-case analyses. RESULTS: Compared with controls, the intervention group showed greater adjusted post-intervention improvements in global cognition (MEC-35 between-group difference: 1.8 points) and several cognitive measures, including temporal orientation, calculation, attention, praxis, verbal fluency, processing speed, executive functions, and verbal learning. CRQ scores and digital competence also improved, with small-to-large effect sizes. CONCLUSIONS: A computerized cognitive stimulation program adapted according to cognitive reserve appears feasible in Primary Care and may improve cognition, engagement in reserve-related activities, and digital competence in older adults without cognitive impairment.

Effectiveness of artificial intelligence in nursing simulation education: A systematic review, meta-analysis and bibliometric visualization analysis.

OBJECTIVES: To synthesize the roles and core functions of AI in nursing simulation education for nursing students via systematic review, quantitatively evaluate its effects on students' knowledge and skill outcomes through meta-analysis, and map the research landscape and development trends of this field through bibliometric visualization analysis. DESIGN: Systematic review, meta-analysis and bibliometric visualization analysis. DATA SOURCES: Eight electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, MEDLINE, ERIC, Academic Search Complete, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP) were employed to search studies from the time of construction to 16 December 2025. REVIEW METHODS: Studies meeting the inclusion criteria were screened. The revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (ROB 2) and Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklists were used for quality assessment. Meta-analysis was performed with Review Manager 5.4, and bibliometric visualization analysis was conducted using VOSviewer 1.6.20 and Bibliometrix (based on R4.4.3). RESULTS: A total of 61 studies were included. AI primarily played two roles in nursing simulation education: peer-type new subject (n&#xa0;=&#xa0;24) and direct mediator (n&#xa0;=&#xa0;22). Meta-analysis showed that AI interventions significantly improved nursing students' knowledge (SMD&#xa0;=&#xa0;1.49, 95% CI [0.55,2.43], p&#xa0;=&#xa0;0.002) and skills (SMD&#xa0;=&#xa0;0.66, 95% CI [0.02,1.31], p&#xa0;=&#xa0;0.04). Bibliometric analysis identified that the United States of America and China were the two main contributing countries in this field, and the key motor themes included generative artificial intelligence, virtual patients, and geriatric care. CONCLUSIONS: AI exerts positive effects on nursing students' knowledge acquisition and skill enhancement in simulation education, with peer-type new subject and direct mediator as the dominant roles. Future research should focus on expanding AI applications in multi-specialty simulation scenarios, activating the data-driven value of machine learning, and strengthening international collaboration and standardization construction, so as to promote the sustainable development of AI-integrated nursing simulation education.

Stage-specific ROMO1 in rheumatoid arthritis: predictive immune insights into the MIF pathway and HLA-DR/IL2RA axis via integrated GWAS, transcriptomic, single-cell, and spatial profiling.

Emerging evidence links reactive oxygen species modulator 1 (ROMO1), a key mitochondrial ROS regulator, to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. However, its exact mechanism remains elusive given the conflicting evidence about its specific function. We used a four-level integrative framework combining multi-omics data and literature&#x2011;supported mechanistic inference. At the genetic level, Mendelian randomization (MR) was performed to explore potential causal relationships between ROMO1, IL2RA, HLA-DR, MIF, and RA risk, followed by differential expression analysis and machine learning-based feature selection to identify key mROS genes. The temporal expression dynamics of ROMO1 were assessed in RA progression. At the cellular and tissue levels, we integrated single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to map cell-type-specific expression and synovial localization of ROMO1-related immune cells and pathways. Finally, our multi-omics findings were contextualized with literature-supported mechanistic inference. (1) MR results were consistent with a potential protective effect of ROMO1 on RA (OR&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.52) and its potential regulation of risk factors IL2RA (OR&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.46) and HLA-DR (OR&#x2009;=&#x2009;0.40). Conversely, IL2RA (OR&#x2009;=&#x2009;1.42), HLA-DR (OR&#x2009;=&#x2009;1.88), and MIF (OR&#x2009;=&#x2009;1.17) were positively associated with RA risk. Additionally, ROMO1 was identified as a top candidate diagnostic predictor with stage-specific dynamics: downregulated in the early but upregulated in the late/remission stages. (2) Single-cell RNA sequencing showed ROMO1's cell-specific expression in CD14+&#x2009;HLA-DR+&#x2009;CD74+&#x2009;monocytes and CD4+&#x2009;IL2RA+&#x2009;T cells. Cell communication analysis further suggested that these cells may participate in MIF pathway regulation. Spatial transcriptomics subsequently identified that ROMO1-related cells localized to synovial pathological regions, with MIF pathway changes correlated with RA progression. (3) Finally, literature-supported mechanistic inference suggests that ROMO1 may modulate mROS levels to promote anti-inflammatory M2 macrophage polarization, which could theoretically contribute to reduced systemic inflammation and the alleviation of multi-organ decline in RA. This integrated multi-omics investigation, supported by literature-based mechanistic inference, suggests ROMO1 as a stage-dependent biomarker candidate and potential immune regulator in RA.
