    Abstract Bipolar disorder is associated with significant dysfunction in a broad range of neuropsychological domains and processes. Deficits have been reported to occur in symptomatic states (depression, [hypo]mania) as well as in remission (euthymia), having consequences for psychological well-being and social and occupational functioning. The profile and magnitude of neuropsychological deficits in bipolar disorder have been explored in a number of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. After discussing these briefly, this chapter will focus on examining the clinical and demographic factors that influence and modify the pattern and magnitude of deficits, as well as reviewing methods of assessment and analysis approaches which may improve our understanding of these problems.

    Abstract Purpose: Health literacy skills are vital for cancer caregivers in helping cancer survivors to navigate their diagnosis, treatment, and recovery but little is known. This study explored health literacy and eHealth literacy among cancer caregivers and the relationship between health literacy/eHealth literacy and potential associated factors.
    Methods: Informal caregivers who had cared for an individual with cancer completed a survey which collected demographic data and measured caregiver health literacy, eHealth literacy, self-efficacy, burden, and distress.
    Results: Seven percent of caregivers had inadequate health literacy. Caregivers scored lowest on health literacy domains related to caregiver social support, information seeking and understanding care recipient preferences. eHealth literacy was associated with self-efficacy and burden while, different health literacy domains were associated with burden ('
    Conclusion: Findings highlight key areas of need regarding cancer caregiver health literacy which future research can target. Given the observed relationship between aspects of health literacy and burden, distress and self-efficacy future work could be carried out on how to alleviate high levels of burden and distress and how to enhance self-efficacy among cancer caregivers by addressing health literacy skills.
    Implications for cancer survivors: Findings from this study will inform the development of health literacy interventions to support caregivers to build their health literacy skills and enable this group to better support cancer survivors as a result.

    Abstract Aim: The purpose of the study was to explore nurse practitioner perceptions of integration practices in acute hospitals across one health care region in Ireland.
    Background: A recent Department of Health National policy towards developing a critical mass of nurse practitioners was implemented across Ireland. Successful integration of nurse practitioner roles is integral to the success of the service and sustainability of the roles for the long term.
    Method: An electronic survey was circulated to a convenience sample of 85 nurse practitioners across a single, acute health care region in Ireland.
    Results: Sixty-six (78%) of nurse practitioners participated. A standardized governance structure was reported by 24 (36%) participants. Thirty-two (48%) participants expressed their job description clearly defined their role. Consultant physicians were identified as the most supportive stakeholder by participants.
    Conclusions: This research identifies that nurse practitioner integration is not currently structured. A framework to support nurse practitioner integration is required to ensure ongoing support for the role. This research identifies that integration is not currently optimized.
    Implications for nursing management: Failure to successfully integrate the nurse practitioner role risks the long-term sustainability of the role and is a missed opportunity to demonstrate the success of advanced clinical leadership to health care.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of sex on disease activity in axial spondylitis (axSpA).
    Method: Data were extracted from the Ankylosing Spondylitis Registry of Ireland (ASRI). In this cross-sectional study, patients were analysed on the basis of sex, with a series of comparison analyses performed.
    Results: Overall, 886 participants were enrolled in the ASRI [232 (26.2%) women, 644 (72.6%) men]. Females recorded significantly worse Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) (4.57 vs 3.83, p < 0.01) and Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life questionnaire (ASQoL) (7.51 vs 6.12, p < 0.01) scores than males. There was a stronger correlation in the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional and Metrology Indices (BASFI and BASMI) in females (r
    Conclusions: Women with axSpA reported significantly worse disease activity, quality of life, and functional ability than men. However, the BASDAI capturedsimilar patterns of disease activity. Limitation of spinal mobility in women with axSpA corresponded to greater impairment in functional ability. Further evaluation of disease monitoring tools is required to ensure that disease activity is accurately captured in men and women with axSpA.

    Abstract The authors describe a patient with a background of metastatic small cell prostate cancer who presented with a rapidly evolving sensorimotor neuropathy with bulbar features closely resembling Guillain-Barré syndrome, with a good initial response to intravenous immunoglobulins and platinum-based chemotherapy. This represented a likely paraneoplastic manifestation of the patient's urological malignancy.

    Abstract Early-onset colorectal cancer (age under 50 years) (EOCRC) is an entity of undeniable importance, both because of its growing incidence, and the population it affects. Other current reviews emphasize the essential points regarding the clinical management and knowledge of its molecular bases. However, we intend to go one step further. With the increased significance of patient participation and disease experience in mind, we have integrated the voice of the patient to show the weaknesses and the needs, and next steps in the advancement of knowledge and management of EOCRC. This integrative review of the different perspectives, clinical, research and the patients themselves, can therefore be defined as an integrative needs assessment. Hence, this may be a first step in working towards an essential homogeneity of definitions and action.

    Abstract Burnout, characterized by exhaustion, reduced accomplishment, and devaluation, can have substantial negative implications for athletes. Notably, researchers continue to examine burnout from multiple perspectives, commonly focusing on stress-, motivation-, or commitment-related factors, with limited efforts to consider these perspectives together. In contrast, this study aimed to assess the utility of these multiple perspectives and the key predictors of burnout in the same athlete sample. Data on burnout, stress, motivation, motivational climate, and sport commitment were gathered from 370 Gaelic games athletes. Separate structural equation models incorporating stress, motivation, and commitment factors as predictors of burnout dimensions were assessed. All models showed adequate fit. However, differences in effect size suggest that stress is more strongly associated with exhaustion, while commitment and motivation showed a stronger relationship with reduced accomplishment and devaluation. Evidence of significant predictors across perspectives also supports an integrated approach and may inform integration efforts and targeted intervention strategies.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the impact of AT in identity for students with disabilities in higher education and if/how this changes over time.
    Methods: Using a longitudinal qualitative research design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with students with disabilities (
    Results: The through line identified was feeling valued, which was central in the negotiation of identity over time across three themes: feelings of autonomy and competence; claiming disability; and feeling like you belong as a student. AT impacted experiences across the three themes which subsequently promoted or undermined students' sense of value. Reciprocally, feeling valued influenced use and perceptions of AT. Factors specific to a higher education context were also identified which influenced meanings attached to AT over time.
    Conclusion: Creating an environment where students feel valued is key in promoting use of and positive perceptions of AT. This should form an integral part of AT and disability policy in higher education.
