Anti-Asian hatred is a neglected social justice issue with a long history extending to hate crimes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet the U.S. population includes an increasing number of Asian immigrants. Some of them, such as recent Japanese immigrants and temporary residents, are from majority groups in their countries of origin, and do not have cultural socialization practices to protect their children from racism and xenophobia. This article focuses on in-depth, individual interviews with 14 Japanese immigrant and temporary resident parents of children attending U.S. local schools. Parents described their cultural socialization as centering on developing a Japanese cultural self, for example, through participation in a Japanese supplementary school. Parents also reported experiences of anti-Asian racism and xenophobia, including social exclusion. However, they typically did not describe preparing children directly for responding to and coping with anti-Asian bias. Rather, they and their children took responsibility for bias directed against them, and avoided drawing attention to their differences. Authors discuss implications for how social workers can recognize distress in Japanese children and effectively support them and others experiencing similar acculturation challenges.
To assess the association between maternal asthma and adverse perinatal outcomes in an Australian Indigenous population.

This prospective cohort study included all Indigenous mother and baby dyads for births from 2001 to 2013 in Western Australia (n= 25 484). Data were linked from Western Australia Births, Deaths, Midwives, Hospital, and Emergency Department collections. Maternal asthma was defined as a self-reported diagnosis at an antenatal visit or hospitalization or emergency visit for asthma during pregnancy or less than 3 years before pregnancy. Associations with birth, labor, and pregnancy outcomes were assessed using generalized estimating equations. Asthma exacerbation during pregnancy and stratification by remoteness was also assessed.

Maternal asthma was associated with placental abruption (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.59 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.07-2.35]), threatened preterm labor (aOR, 1.58 [95% CI, 1.39-1.79]), and emergency cesarean sections (aOR, 1.27 [95% CI, 1.13-1.44]). These risks increased further with an asthma exacerbation during pregnancy or if the mother was from a remote area. No associations were found for low birth weight, preterm birth, small for gestational age, or perinatal mortality.

Maternal asthma in Indigenous women is associated with an increased risk of emergency cesarean sections, placental abruption, and threatened preterm labor. These risks may be mitigated by improved management of asthma exacerbations during pregnancy.

Inequities in USemployees' access to paid sick leave are known, but it is not clear whether they are increasing or decreasing over time. More than two dozen state and local paid sick leave laws were recently enacted, many with the stated goal of reducing inequities in access to paid sick leave. We examined how inequities in access to paid sick leave have changed over time, focusing on the years when these laws were coming into effect.

Private sector employees participating in the National Health Interview Survey between 2006 (before laws came into effect) and 2018 (after most came into effect) reported if they had paid sick leave in their main job. We examined how differences in access to paid sick leave by Census region, race/ethnicity, work hours, and educational attainment changed over time.

The percentage of employees with access to paid sick leave increased from 56% in 2006 to 61% in 2018, with most of the increases in access occurring in the West. Inequities by race/ethnicity decreased substantially between 2015 and 2018, the years when most paid sick leave laws came into effect. This change was driven by Hispanic and Latino workers rapidly gaining access to paid sick leave during this time. Differences in access to paid sick leave by work hours and education attainment remained stable over time.

Inequities in access to paid sick leave remain. Paid sick leave laws could be effective means to increase access to paid sick leave and equalize access.

The objective of this article is to chart the construction of cannabis in articles published in social work journals across the past half century. The author critically reviews empirical articles with references to cannabis published in 15 key social work journals between 1970 and 2018. Systematic searches resulted in a combined set of 510 articles, of which 244 matched the inclusion criteria for this study. A content and thematic analysis of the corpus identified the dominant construction of cannabis in social work research literature as a harmful substance undifferentiated from other drugs. This construction was challenged by a minority of the articles in three ways (1) by differentiating between use and abuse and between cannabis as a soft drug and a hard drug; (2) by highlighting social inequality as an important component of any consideration of social work policy and practice with regard to cannabis use; and (3) by considering the possible positive effects of cannabis use. This article calls for a revision of the construction of cannabis use in social work.
Approximately 23.2 million children in the United States attend day care; however, many of these children often lack access to health care. Given the potential for advanced practice nurses to address this gap in health care, the authors sought to gain a better understanding of healthcare consulting provided by nurses to day/child care centers. The purpose of this scoping review is to examine the extent, range, and nature of evidence regarding the role of nurse consultants in day and childcare settings.

A scoping review was conducted in CINAHL and PubMed, to report and summarize relevant literature published before 2020. Search terms included day or child care, nurse consultants, healthcare consultants, and day or child care health consultants.

The search produced 92 publications; 21 publications met the inclusion criteria and are included in the review. After independently reading the publications, the authors identified and agreed upon seven central themes. Themes included an analysis of the consulting process, description of the nurse consulting role in individual and large day and childcare settings, director's perceptions of health consultants, impact of nurse consultants, education and training, barriers to the healthcare consultant role, and political advocacy.

Advanced nurse practitioner, particularly pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs), possess the skill set in acute and chronic conditions, as well as health maintenance and promotion that can be translated and used in the role of the nurse consultant to day and child care centers. Having PNPs in this role may help to address primary healthcare needs of children.

Cross-sectional survey was used. Logistic regressions results showed that higher levels of perceived involvement in South Asian community health and trust in the healthcare system were associated with higher odds of reporting perceived vaccine benefits. Permanent residents, students (vs. unemployed), and Pakistani (vs. Indians) also perceived the vaccine as beneficial. On the other hand, believing that the body was sacred and being Buddhist (vs. Hindu) were associated with higher odds of perceiving severe vaccination risk. Those who believed that God would cure COVID-19 and those with higher education tended to perceive the vaccine as having a limited effect. Implications on designing culturally appropriate COVID-19 vaccines messages in interethnic settings are discussed.The effective use of photochromic systems based on azo compounds in a number of applications, especially biomedical and pharmacological ones, is impeded by the unresolved problem of their E⇆Z isomerization in the near-IR region, NIR (780-1400 nm). We have demonstrated at the TD-DFT, STEOM-DLPNO-CCSD and CASSCF-NEVPT2 levels of theory that the presence of a silylated diazene core -Si-N=N-Si- with three-, tetra- or five-coordinated silicon atoms practically guarantees the absorption of the E and Z forms of such derivatives in NIR and the amazing (185-400 nm) separation of their first absorption bands. In particular, the maximum λ1 of the first n→π* band of the E isomer of azosilabenzene ASiB is at ∼1030 nm, while for the Z isomer λ1 ≅1340 nm. Based on the found bistable azo compounds (ASiB, bis(silyl)- SiD and bis(silatranyl)- SaD diazenes) and their derivatives with E and Z absorption in NIR, unique photoswitches can be created for a number of applications, in particular, for photothermal therapy.The COVID-19 pandemic created novel patient care circumstances that may have increased nurses' moral distress, including COVID-19 transmission risk and end-of-life care without family present. Well-established moral distress instruments do not capture these novel aspects of pandemic nursing care. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the COVID-19 Moral Distress Scale (COVID-MDS), which was designed to provide a short MDS that includes both general and COVID-19-specific content. Researcher-developed COVID-19 items were evaluated for content validity by six nurse ethicist experts. This study comprised a pilot phase and a validation phase. The pilot sample comprised 329 respondents from inpatient practice settings and the emergency department in two academic medical centers. AZD5582 in vitro Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted with the pilot data. The EFA results were tested in a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using the validation data. The validation sample comprised 5042 nurses in 107 hospitals throughout the United States.
