Objective: There is a lack of research examining factors that promote the disclosure of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) among post-secondary students. However, elucidating which factors facilitate disclosures among students -- particularly students with high risk NSSI -- is important given that disclosure may facilitate access to care. Methods:…

In this study, it is aimed to examine the differentiation status of the participants in terms of some demographic variables in order to determine the anxiety of the students towards sports injury. This quantitative study was carried out in a descriptive survey model. The sample of the study consists of 317 participants from high school students…

Ballet dancers are exposed to the high likelihood of lower extremity injury due to repeated high-impact jumps under stringent ballet rules. The injury incidences occurring in dancers during jump landings are highly associated with excessive vertical ground reaction forces (vGRF) and the sharp loading rate (LR). The aim of this study was to compare…

The purpose of this study was to assess physical performance and injury risk factors during an undergraduate dance program. The measures examined in this study were joint range of motion (JROM) and manual voluntary isokinetic contraction (MMT) of the hip and ankle, gait, and prevalence of pain and injury. The 30 female participants had been…

Ensuring the safety of learners is paramount in schools, particularly in workshops where hands-on learning takes place. Mechanical Technology teachers bear the responsibility for ensuring learners safe participation in activities, guided by specific safety management elements that dictate their duty of care and legal obligations. This paper…

In the United States, 385,000 healthcare staff experience sharps injuries annually, costing the healthcare system over one billion dollars. Double-gloving can reduce perforations by up to 71-85%. The problem is that healthcare personnel often do not utilize double-gloving. This study was performed to identify the perceptions, perceived barriers,…

We investigated the dynamic relationships between children's risky play attempts in a naturalistic setting, their injury experience, and their self-control ability. To test this, we administered surveys to 862 mothers of 3- to 5-year-olds. The results showed that children who tried more diverse types of risky play experienced more injuries in…

We analyzed the Healthcare Cost and Utilization State Emergency Department (ED) Databases and State Inpatient Databases for all individuals who were 2 years of age or older with at least one ED visit from 2011 to 2016 in New York to estimate the association between suicide and non-fatal injury-related ED visits and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).…

Optimism bias is common across health risk assessments, including firearm injury risk, and can have behavioral consequences. Using data from the 2018 California Safety and Wellbeing Survey, we examine whether optimism bias influences firearm injury prevention practices and policy support by comparing the characteristics, behaviors, and opinions of…

The research surrounding elite adult athletes has shown that these athletes consistently experience mental health difficulties. The prevalence rates of mental health disorders among the adult elite athlete population are at much higher rates than the average adult population. This includes substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and eating…

Background: Due to the high incidence of running-related injuries (RRIs), there is a need to better understand factors contributing to the prevalence of RRIs in community college (CC) women's cross-country runners when research is lacking in CC intercollegiate athletics. The limited focus on CC athletics has left numerous crucial questions about…

Background: The modifications of fluid viscosity and/or volume are common strategies in dysphagia management, with increased viscosity or reduced volume intended to reduce aspiration. Little attention has been given to whether cough response to aspiration varies across different viscosities and volumes. Aims: This prospective observational study…

Background: Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of youth morbidity. However, limited nationally representative data are available to characterize the occurrence of unintentional injuries at US schools. Given this paucity, we characterized secular trends in unintentional injuries at schools that led to emergency department (ED) visits.…

Bodily movement is a central component in students' educational experiences in school-based physical education (PE) programs. PE unavoidably involves physical risk. In some respects, the risk of play, sports and adventure is portrayed as necessary and healthy for children's development. However, concerns about students' safety and teachers'…

The study investigated safety-related issues in inclusive schools in Ghana. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design using a safety perception questionnaire was adopted for the study. Fourteen inclusive basic schools and 330 teachers were selected using the census technique. The response rate was 80% representing 264 teachers. The data were…
