Academic experts’ perspectives on strategic benefits, challenges, and development of Professional doctorates in midwifery within a small-state context
Professional doctorates (PDs) provide an advanced pathway for midwives to integrate clinical expertise, research, and leadership. While well established in countries such as the United Kingdom, their relevance and feasibility within small-state higher education systems remain underexplored. This study examined midwifery academics’ perceptions of the benefits, challenges, and contextual considerations associated with developing a Professional Doct…

Students with disabilities in higher education call for personal empowerment, equitable inclusive systems, and individualized accommodations
Introduction The number of students with disabilities in higher education is increasing, but research shows that they continue to face significant challenges for equitable participation. This study aims to deepen our understanding of these challenges through the perceptions of students with disabilities themselves. Methods Participants were students with disabilities enrolled at the University of Malta. Data was collected through a student survey…
Loneliness in the Maltese population
Loneliness is a complex and multifaceted experience resulting from a person's subjective assessment of the gap between their desired and actual social connections. This study presents an analysis of prevalence rates and correlates of loneliness amongst Maltese individuals aged 11 years and older ( n = 658). Data collected in 2022 allowed for a follow up on a first ever study investigating loneliness in Malta in 2019 ( n = 1,009) and makes compari…
Outdoor and nature-based teaching in small, urban primary school contexts
The current evidence base for outdoor and nature-based education in a context of education for sustainability is limited and unrepresentative of the realities of small, urban schools, which tend to be characterised by small outdoor spaces devoid of nature. To address this research gap, we carried out two studies in Malta, as an example of a densely populated and heavily urbanised context. A survey conducted among educators in Maltese primary scho…
Workers' individual and dyadic coping with the Covid-19 health emergency
The aim of this study was to examine workers' psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic as a function of their individual coping, dyadic coping, and work-family conflict. We also tested the moderating role of gender and culture in these associations. To achieve this aim, we run HLM analyses on data from 1521 workers cohabiting with a partner, coming from six countries (Italy, Spain, Malta, Cyprus, Greece, and Russia) characterized by va…
Adolescent social emotional skills, resilience and behavioral problems during the Covid-19 pandemic

The impact of dog therapy on nursing students’ heart rates and ability to pay attention in class
Small islands as ecotourism destinations
A prerequisite for ecotourism development is the presence of natural environments, normally exhibited in protected areas, which serve as ecotourism venues. Little attention has been given to Mediterranean islands in terms of ecotourism. In this paper, nine islands in the central Mediterranean region were studied through a case study approach to investigate their potential as ecotourism destinations, taking into account the presence of protected a…
Illness perceptions, depression and anxiety in informal carers of persons with depression
Illness cognitions are significant predictors of depression, thereby suggesting that cognition-based interventions may be effective in targeting depression in these informal carers. Thus, health professionals should explore the carers' personal understanding of the disease, their timeline beliefs and the perceived consequences of providing care, as they relate to their psychological well-being
