Feasibility and efficacy of an online compassion-focused imagery intervention for veterinarian self-reassurance, self-criticism and perfectionism.

BACKGROUND: Veterinarians report high levels of psychological distress and self-criticism. However, there is minimal research investigating psychological interventions for veterinarians. Evidence suggests that compassion-focused therapy is effective at reducing distress in those with high self-criticism. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a 2-week online compassionate imagery intervention for veterinarians. METHODS: A one-group repeated measures design was used with 128 veterinarians. Participants completed measures of perfectionism, self-criticis

Evaluation of patient experience post structured education for diabetes self management (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating-OzDAFNE).

AIMS: To examine OzDAFNE participant feedback to determine if OzDAFNE results in positive participant reported outcomes and experiences, improves quality of life; and to identify areas for improvement. METHODS: Quantitative and qualitative evaluations of participants' experience were undertaken prior to, and at the end of, every OzDAFNE program from 2010 to 2019. Evaluations included Likert scale and open-ended questions. Responses were analysed descriptively, for response rates and to identify themes. Mean difference in Problem Area in Diabetes (PAID) score was calculated from pre-course to

Comparing multidimensional facets of stress with social, emotional, and physical well-being using ecological momentary assessment among a Hispanic sample.

Stress is multidimensional, including exposure, subjective appraisals, perceived coping, rumination, and worry. Although research has shown each dimension can predict poor social, emotional, and subjective well-being, rarely have these dimensions of stress been compared as one is experiencing stress. This paper used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to repeatedly measure stress dimensions and self-reported health to test whether each stress dimension has a unique relationship with well-being over time at the between-person and within-person levels. Participants (n = 165, 79.6% female) were

Parental incarceration and child physical health outcomes from infancy to adulthood: A critical review and multilevel model of potential pathways.

BACKGROUND: There are currently 2.2 million people incarcerated in U.S. prisons and jails, representing a 500% increase over the past 40 years. An emerging literature suggests the impact of mass incarceration extends beyond the prison, jail, or detention center to the families of incarcerated individuals. Less scholarship has considered consequences of parental incarceration for their children's physical health. METHODS: We conduct a critical review of the literature investigating an association between parental incarceration and children's physical health outcomes from infancy to adulthood.

The intertwined path of perfectionism and self-criticism in a client with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

Psychotherapy for obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD), where perfectionism is a defining criterion, is understudied. Despite a high prevalence few evidence-based treatments are available for the presentation. Here we describe the course of a 6-month program of metacognitive interpersonal therapy with an OCPD patient with prominent perfectionism and self-criticism, which were considered primary outcomes of the case study. Therapy aimed initially at increasing awareness of maladaptive interpersonal schemas and promoting a healthy self. First, behavioral experiments were used to try

Diabetic foot self-care and concordance of 3diabetic foot risk stratification systems in a basic health area of Gran Canaria.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the level of self-care in the population with diabetes and determine the risk of diabetic foot lesions through the use of 3stratification systems as well as to establish the degree of concordance between these systems. METHOD: Observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study carried out in the Basic Health Area of Santa Brígida (Gran Canaria-Canary Islands-Spain) in people diagnosed with diabetes (DM Type 1/DM Type 2) (n=182). Interview, physical examination, review of clinical history and completion of the Diabetic Foot Self-Care questionnaire of the University of Ma

The fragility of perceived social rank following exercise in anorexia nervosa: an ecological momentary assessment study of shame and pride.

PURPOSE: Pride and shame are self-conscious emotions closely associated with perceived social rank. Goss and Gilbert (In: Gilbert and Miles (eds) Body shame: conceptualization, research & treatment. Brunner-Routledge, Hove, 2002) proposed that weight-control behaviours in anorexia nervosa (AN) provide a temporary sense of increased rank that dissipates afterwards, thereby perpetuating further symptoms. This pilot study tested their theory by examining whether shame increases and pride decreases as time passes post-exercise in individuals with AN. Pre-exercise patterns were also explored. METH

The mediating role of state maladaptive emotion regulation in the relation between social anxiety symptoms and self-evaluation bias.

Although social anxiety symptoms are robustly linked to biased self-evaluations across time, the mechanisms of this relation remain unclear. The present study tested three maladaptive emotion regulation strategies - state post-event processing, state experiential avoidance, and state expressive suppression - as potential mediators of this relation. Undergraduate participants (N = 88; 61.4% Female) rated their social skill in an impromptu conversation task and then returned to the laboratory approximately two days later to evaluate their social skill in the conversation again. Consistent with e

Outcomes After Surgical Treatment of Spastic Upper Extremity Conditions.

Surgical interventions for the spastic upper extremity aim to correct the common deformities of elbow flexion, forearm pronation, wrist flexion and ulnar deviation, and thumb-in-palm deformity. One goal is achieving optimal function and improved limb positioning. Aesthetics of the limb have a profound impact on self-esteem and satisfaction. Surgical deformity correction has not reliably been shown to improve sensory function such as stereognosis. Validated outcome measures are used to present outcomes after surgical treatment of the spastic upper extremity as it relates to motor function and l

Self-neglect: Implications for prosecutors.

Historically, the view of elder mistreatment in the United States has been similar to that of child abuse and has been detrimental to the understanding of elder mistreatment. Until recently, there was little understanding of the complexity of elder mistreatment and the legal system lacked appropriate laws with which to handle this growing problem. Over the last two decades, legislation, laws, and criminal codes of conduct have been developed to tackle the problem of elder mistreatment. However, little knowledge or understanding of the public health problems and legal implications related to th

Predicting psychological distress in college students: the role of rumination and stress.

Psychological distress among college students represents a serious health concern. The aim of this research was to investigate, for the first time, whether interactions between rumination and different measures of stress could differentially predict components of psychological distress, within a diathesis-stress framework. This self-report study employed a longitudinal design, spanning a period of 6 months. One hundred sixty-one undergraduate college students completed selected measures of psychological distress, rumination, and stress at two time points 6 months apart. Both independent and in

Attribution of injury to alcohol involvement in young adults seriously injured in alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes.

BACKGROUND: Approximately 40% of all traffic fatalities are associated with the use of alcohol. Hospitalization for serious injury after a motor vehicle crash related to use of alcohol may be an opportunity to change drinking behaviors in non-alcohol-dependent drinkers, thereby reducing the risk for future disability and death. OBJECTIVES: To determine the degree to which non-alcohol-dependent adults aged 18 to 45 years with alcohol-related vehicular trauma attributed their injury to use of alcohol. METHODS: During hospitalization, 132 subjects involved in alcohol-related motor vehicle crash

Self-image in spinal deformity: a state-of-the-art review.

PURPOSE: To review the current literature surrounding the assessment of self-image in pediatric and adult spinal deformity. METHODS: The literature were reviewed for studies examining patient-reported outcome measurements (PROM) and self-image in pediatric and adult spinal deformity. PROM performance metrics were collected and described. The relationships between self-image PROM and patient outcomes, including satisfaction, were described. RESULTS: Several self-image PROM exist, including the Scoliosis Research Society-22r (SRS-22r) self-image domain, the Body Image Disturbance Questionnaire

Validation of a self-efficacy instrument and its relationship to performance of crisis resource management skills.

Self-efficacy is thought to be important for resuscitation proficiency in that it influences the development of and access to the associated … formance of CRM skills. Our findings suggest that in a specific context, self-efficacy as a form of self-assessment may be informative with regards to performance.

[Reducing self-injurious behaviour through functional communication training--a single case study].

Carr and Durand (1977) postulated for the first time that self-injurious and aggressive behaviour can be reduced in individuals with intellectual impairment by teaching them communication responses. Meanwhile, primarily in the Anglo-American linguistic area, a number of publications exist that address the topic of Functional Communication Training. Conducted in this single case study were a preference assessment to identify edible and material reinforcers, and an experimental functional analysis to document the functions of the self-injurious behaviour. In addition, the efficacy of Functional

Development of the remote 100 ml water swallow test versus clinical assessment in patients with head and neck cancer: Do they agree?

BACKGROUND: The 100 ml water swallow test (WST) is a validated swallow assessment used in head and neck cancer (HNC). We aimed to determine the level of agreement when completing the 100 ml WST via clinician-graded video-testing or patient self-testing compared to standard face-to-face assessment (FTF). METHODS: Convenience sampling from four UK centers. INCLUSION CRITERIA: patients with HNC treated with any modality prior to, or within 5 years of treatment. Participants were recruited to complete the 100 ml WST by video-testing or self-testing and compared with FTF. RESULTS: Sixty-three pa

The MAT-sf: identifying risk for major mobility disability.

BACKGROUND: The assessment of mobility is essential to both aging research and clinical geriatric practice. A newly developed self-report measure of mobility, the mobility assessment tool-short form (MAT-sf), uses video animations as an innovative method to improve measurement accuracy/precision. The primary aim of the current study was to evaluate whether MAT-sf scores can be used to identify risk for major mobility disability (MMD). METHODS: This article is based on data collected from the Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders study and involved 1,574 older adults between the

Evaluation of Facial Appearance among Patients With Repaired Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate: Comparison of Patient- and Clinician-Ratings of Satisfaction.

The objective of this study was to determine the levels of patient-satisfaction on facial and dental appearance compared with clinician rati … nts were less satisfied with their own nose and lip, but more satisfied with teeth. Concerning age, self-assessment did not differ between adolescents and young adults. Females were less likely to be satisfied compared to males, but the difference was not statistically significant. In conclusion, patients with repaired UCLP were moderately satisfied with their fa …
