Strengthening International Networks to Advance Global Palliative Care

These groups have become increasingly involved in advocacy and awareness-raising activities on behalf of the sector, using rights-based arguments and a public h…
End-of-Life Care in an Australian Rehabilitation Facility for Older People

Retrospective Self-Reported Symptoms of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
We measured the internal consistency and four-week temporal consistency and temporal stability of the Wender Utah Rating Scale and its 25-item short form. The Wender scale is a rationally constructed retrospective self-report rating scale for symptoms of Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Both scales manifested excellent internal consistency. Over one month, both versions manifested significant temporal consistency and good temporal stabil…
