Awareness of Breast Cancer Risk Factors in Women with vs. Without High Breast Density.
Women with high breast density (HBD) carry an increased risk for breast cancer (BC). The aim of the study was to provide data on awareness and knowledge gaps among women with vs w/o HBD about BC risk factors (BCRFs), which is the basis for effective communication about screening. ⋯ Overall 39% of women were familiar with HBD as BCRF. Lack of BCRF awareness may contribute to delayed screenings, missed opportunities for early detection, and potentially poorer outcomes for individuals with dense breast tissue. Thus, this information should be communicated more widely.

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Adherence to Iron-Folic Acid Supplementation Among Pregnant Women in Eastern Sudan: A Cross-Sectional Study.
The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence and factors associated with adherence to iron-folic acid supplementation (IFAS) among pregnant women in eastern Sudan. ⋯ About four out of five pregnant women adhered to the IFAS, indicating a good level of adherence, especially among women who attended more than four ANC visits and those with good knowledge of anemia. More attention is needed to encourage ANC to increase adherence to IFAS.

Patient, Care Partner, and Physician Voices in Treatment Decision-Making for Multiple Myeloma.
Treatment decision-making for multiple myeloma (MM) is complex. Individuals involved in decision-making may value treatment attributes differently based on their role as a patient, care partner, or physician. This study describes those attributes, and what is most important by role. ⋯ Patients with MM, care partners, and physicians consider and value various treatment decision-making factors. Recognizing and addressing these differences is critical to meeting patients' preferences, needs, and optimizing patient outcomes.

Mediating Effect of Perceived Health Competence on the Association Between Mindfulness and Adherence to Health Behaviors in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Given the importance of adherence to health behaviors in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and the potential influence of mindfulness, it is important to determine the association between mindfulness and adherence to health behaviors and its potential mechanisms in this population. Perceived health competence is a person's confidence in his/her ability to achieve health goals successfully and may explain how mindfulness influences adherence to health behaviors. This study aimed to examine the association between mindfulness and adherence to health behaviors and whether this association was mediated by perceived health competence. ⋯ The adherence to health behaviors in patients with ACS was very low. Mindfulness positively predicted adherence to health behaviors, and perceived health competence partially mediated the association between mindfulness and adherence to health behaviors. Healthcare providers could intervene patients' mindfulness or perceived health competence to improve adherence to health behaviors.

Motivation and Barriers to Postoperative Rehabilitation Exercise in Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Rotator Cuff Injuries: A Qualitative Study.
Postoperative rehabilitation is particularly important for Rotator cuff injury. However, type 2 diabetic patients with RCI (T2DM-RCI) are at an elevated risk of rehabilitation failure. The factors influencing the postoperative rehabilitation management of these patients have yet to be elucidated. The objective of this study was to investigate the factors influencing the postoperative rehabilitation of T2DM-RCI patients. ⋯ It is imperative to enhance the glycaemic control and health perception of T2DM-RCI patients. To this end, rehabilitation programmes, comprising exercise and dietary modifications, must be tailored to the specific needs of each patient. Furthermore, it is crucial to harness the potential of family and social support to motivate patients to maintain a positive outlook.
