The importance of mental toughness on lung transplant outcomes is unknown. We performed a pilot study to assess whether pretransplant grit and resilience are associated with short-term posttransplant outcomes. enrolled 31 candidates, whom 7 (26%) had greater toughness, defined as the upper tertile for both within our cohort. There were no differences in baseline characteristics between patients higher lower toughness.

Abstract Background Common mental disorders are prevalent in young people low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Digitally delivered interventions have the potential to overcome many structural psychosocial barriers health care. Chatbots been proposed as one potentially acceptable feasible method that may increase engagement. Yet, there is currently limited evidence for their efficacy reducing psychological distress. This paper summarises development of a World Health Organization digital intervention experiencing impairing distress, developed line with Human Centred Design (HCD) principles. Objective study refined adapted chatbot initially adolescents aged 15-18 years was completed consultation end-users this age group (N =236), community members =73), psychology experts =9) across varied settings.
