Aug 17th 2023, 14:37

Abstract
Objective
Research has consistently documented adverse effects of parent weight-related comments on adolescent health. However, little empirical attention has focused on isolating the impact of weight-related comments from mothers versus fathers, and the valence of their comments. The present study examined the extent to which positive and negative weight-related comments from mothers and fathers are related to adolescent health and wellbeing, and whether these associations differ according to adolescent sociodemographic characteristics.
Methods
Data were collected from a diverse sample of 2032 U.S.-based adolescents aged 10–17 years (59% female; 40% White, 25% Black or African American, 23% Latinx). Online questionnaires assessed perceived frequency of negative and positive weight-related comments from mothers and fathers, as well as four indicators of adolescent health and wellbeing: depression, unhealthy weight control behaviors, weight bias internalization (WBI), and body appreciation.
Results
More frequent negative weight-related comments from parents were associated with poorer adolescent health and wellbeing, while positive comments contributed to lower levels of WBI and body appreciation; these associations were documented regardless of whether mothers or fathers were the source of such comments, and considerable consistency was demonstrated across adolescent sociodemographic characteristics.
Conclusion
Findings highlight differences in adolescent health based on how parents discuss their body weight (i.e., negatively or positively), and similarity in associations regardless of whether mothers or fathers are the source of weight communication. These findings reiterate the importance of efforts to educate parents on ways to engage in supportive communication about weight-related health with their children.

Aug 17th 2023, 12:38

Labor Studies Journal, Ahead of Print. What can labor studies contribute to ongoing debates about the future of work? In a recent edited volume, Revaluing Work(ers): Toward a Democratic and Sustainable Future (Schulze-Cleven and Vachon 2021), we put forward a set of propositions that have sparked lively discussions at academic conferences over the past two years. This essay introduces a symposium on “Labor Studies and the Future of Work” that extends these earlier conversations and makes them accessible to the labor studies community. The article clarifies the main arguments and the broader agenda of the book before briefly addressing selected reactions to our claims. Finally, it summarizes the contributions to the symposium by a diverse group of scholars, reviewing what they have to say on the nature and purpose of labor studies as well as its promise for debates about the future of work and workers.

Aug 17th 2023, 12:13

Abstract
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the mediating effects of quality of the caregiving relationship and other carer and person with dementia variables in predicting carer resilience over time.
Method
Carers of people with mild and moderate dementia in community settings completed baseline (n = 176 dyads) and six-month follow-up assessments (n = 139 dyads). Causal mediation analysis was conducted using Pearson Correlation and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to examine longitudinal predictors of carer resilience, and the effect of several mediating person with dementia, and carer factors on carer resilience over time.
Results
At 6-month follow-up, higher levels of carer resilience were longitudinally correlated with higher ratings of perceived relationship quality by people with dementia (r = 0.53 p ≤ 0.01), and lower levels of emotional distress symptoms by carer’s (r = −0.59 p ≤ 0.01). Mediation analyses showed that people with dementia perspectives of the quality of the caregiving relationship mediated the relationship between carer distress specific to neuropsychiatric symptoms (β = −0.32, p ≤ 0.001) and carer resilience (β = 0.53, p ≤ 0.001) over time. The final SEM provided a good fit for the data (X2 = 0.12, p = 0.72, CFI = 1.00, NFI = 0.99, and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.001).
Conclusion
Higher ratings of perceived relationship quality by people with dementia, and lower levels of carer emotional distress predicted higher carer resilience at follow-up. People with dementia perspectives of the quality of the caregiving relationship mediated the relationship between carer distress specific to neuropsychiatric symptoms and carer resilience over time. Our findings indicate that interventions aimed at strengthening the caregiving relationship might have a protective long-term effect for carer resilience in dementia caregiving.

Aug 17th 2023, 12:12

Affilia, Ahead of Print. This qualitative study was informed by critical race feminism and sought to examine Canadian Black women’s motivations for participating in the research study that explored their experiences with the police in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV), and the key factors that complicated their decisions. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 25 self-identified women over the age of 18. Findings indicated that Black women’s experiences of anti-Black racism and various forms of systemic barriers influenced their decisions to disclose their experiences of IPV. Key themes included the invisibility of Black women’s narratives, fostering political change, and the impact of racialized and gendered insider positionality. Given these findings, positioning Black women’s narratives at the centre of IPV research creates opportunities for Black women to share their experiences of IPV, recognizes them as experts of their own experiences, identifies their differential experiences accessing services and supports and the barriers that impact their participation in research studies. The study provides strategies on how to increase Black women’s participation and engagement in IPV research.

Aug 17th 2023, 11:39

Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association, Ahead of Print. OBJECTIVE:Psychiatric deprescribing is an intervention where psychiatric medications are reduced or discontinued with the goal to improve health and reduce unnecessary risks. The purpose of this study was to synthesize the literature related to psychiatric deprescribing to discuss practice and research implications.METHODS:A structured search of the literature was conducted from May to September 2022, yielding 29 articles meeting inclusion criteria. Articles were reviewed and synthesized.RESULTS:Psychiatric deprescribing is a complex process with many potential facilitators and barriers. The extant literature provides insight into current gaps in knowledge and implications for clinical practice and research.CONCLUSIONS:In current clinical practice, psychiatric deprescribing is a priority but there are significant barriers. Several areas of future research could be pursued to better support evidence-based practice in this area.

Aug 17th 2023, 10:39

Abstract
Behavioral skills training (BST) delivered synchronously via telecommunication (telehealth) has been shown to be effective for training mediators supporting children with autism. A limitation in the literature is that many published training protocols are evaluated under analogue or highly controlled conditions; therefore, further evaluation is needed to assess generalization of training outcomes to other settings, with service recipients, and to untrained skills. Further, most studies have focused on reducing challenges vs. promoting skill acquisition. Using a concurrent multiple-baseline design, we assessed the efficacy of virtually delivered, synchronous BST with additional coaching (if mastery was not met) for training three behavior technicians (BTs) to implement two common behavioral protocols (i.e., errorless learning and paired stimulus preference assessment). Treatment integrity was assessed with the BTs implementing the protocols with an actor role playing a child with autism and with a child with autism receiving services in the same agency where the BTs were employed. Results indicated that the training was effective for increasing treatment integrity for all three BTs with their performance maintaining at follow-up; however, generalization outcomes were mixed. The findings have timely implications for conducting virtual behavioral training and add to the limited training research conducted in real-world settings.

Aug 17th 2023, 09:36

The Counseling Psychologist, Ahead of Print. This phenomenological study explored the lived experience of resilience among Arab and Middle Eastern migrants living in the United States through a socioecological framework. Nineteen first- and second-generation Arab and Middle Eastern adults were interviewed from 10 families. The study explored two research questions (a) how participants described their experience of resilience and (b) how participants experienced resilience in the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem. Data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Eleven subthemes emerged and included a variety of themes that described the interaction between migrants and their environment at each level of the socioecological system. Findings add to the literature by revealing the dynamic nature of resilience as well as providing a socioecological perspective of resilience, contextualizing our understanding of resilience for this community, and illuminating how socioecological factors can hinder or foster resilience.

Aug 17th 2023, 09:35

Journal of Applied Gerontology, Ahead of Print. This study investigated how older adults adopted new technologies in response to sudden social isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and how this adoption was related to their long-term psychosocial well-being. The study involved a 6-month longitudinal survey of 151 older adults and two phone-based focus groups, which informed a semi-structured interview guide and purposive sampling of diverse community-dwelling older adults. We then conducted twenty qualitative interviews and thematic analysis and mapped themes to 6-month quantitative trajectories of psychosocial health. Three themes emerged: first, most participants adopted multiple technologies to maintain social connection and psychosocial well-being. Second, participants felt left behind by certain technologies due to complicated systems or ageist societal norms. Third, pandemic-related community resources promoted technology independence among isolated older adults and those wanting to avoid “burdening” family. Results challenge ageist stereotypes and provide a framework for encouraging access and comfort with multiple technologies to adapt to sudden health crises or disruptive events.

Aug 17th 2023, 09:35

Journal of Aging and Health, Ahead of Print. Objectives: This article examines whether older adults’ perceptions of an increase in their cost of living during a time of rapid inflation are associated with multiple aspects of psychological distress, as well as whether mastery buffers these associations. Methods: Data were derived from a two-wave longitudinal survey of older adults gathered in 2021 and 2022 (N = 4,010). Multiple regression models examined symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger. Results: Perceptions of moderate or large increases in cost of living were associated with higher levels of distress at follow-up. Taking baseline financial strain, mastery, and psychological distress into account weakened these associations, but perceptions of a large increase in cost of living were still substantially linked with anger and anxiety. Mastery also buffered associations with anxiety and anger. Discussion: Macroeconomically derived adversities can shape anxiety and anger in later-life, but these mental health consequences fall more heavily on individuals possessing lower levels of mastery.

Aug 17th 2023, 09:35

Journal of Aging and Health, Ahead of Print. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if dual sensory impairment (DSI) is associated with falls and fear of falling among older adults. Methods: Using data from the 2019 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS), we studied the cross-sectional association of self-reported hearing/vision impairment with self-reported history/number of falls over the past year, fear of falling (scale 1–6), and a fall requiring medical help using weighted multivariable regressions adjusted for demographic and clinical covariates. Results: Among 11,089 Medicare beneficiaries (mean age = 74, 55% female, 9% Black), DSI is associated with increased prevalence (prevalence ratio = 1.45 [1.28–1.65]) and incidence (incidence ratio = 2.21 [1.79–2.75]) rate of falls, and greater odds of a higher fear of falling score (odds ratio = 1.38 [1.08–1.77]). Discussion: DSI is associated with falls among older adults. Consideration of DSI as a marker to initiate fall prevention programs and inclusion of sensory interventions in these programs may be valuable.

Aug 17th 2023, 08:48

Abstract
Background
Advance care planning (ACP) is a process that involves discussing a person’s goals, values, and preferences; it is particularly important for persons living with dementia (PLWD) given that dementia is incurable and progressive. To ensure results that will impact real-world practices, ACP outcome measures must be psychometrically strong, meaningful to key partners, and pragmatic to collect. Therefore, we conducted a scoping review of outcome measures utilized in ACP randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) enrolling PLWD or their care partners and evaluated their pragmatic characteristics.
Methods
We searched MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science for peer-reviewed ACP RCTs enrolling PLWD or their care partners from 2011 to 2021. We abstracted characteristics of primary and secondary outcome measures, including pragmatic characteristics using an adapted Psychometric and Pragmatic Evidence Rating Scale and ACP outcome domains using the standardized ACP Outcome Framework (i.e., process, action, healthcare, or quality of care).
Results
We included 21 ACP RCTs. Trials included 103 outcome measures (39 primary and 64 secondary), of which 11% measured process, 14% measured action, 49% measured healthcare, and 26% measured quality of care. Twenty-four (23%) outcome measures were highly pragmatic, the majority of which (67%) reflected healthcare outcome measures. Sixty-one (59%) outcomes were assessed as highly relevant to PLWD or their care partners. Only 20% (n = 21) of outcome measures were embedded into clinical practice. Most (62%) RCTs were conducted in nursing homes, and 33% were focused PLWD with advanced stage disease.
Conclusions
In RCTs testing ACP interventions to support PLWD, only 23% of outcome measures were highly pragmatic, and most of these measured healthcare utilizations. Outcome assessments were rarely integrated into the EHR during routine clinical care. New outcome measures that address the lived experience of PLWD and their care partners plus have high pragmatic characteristics are needed for embedded pragmatic clinical trials.

Aug 17th 2023, 08:48

Abstract
Critics of the benefits of cognitive training often point to the failure of intervention studies to evaluate the effect of participants’ expectations; however, there is mixed evidence as to whether differential expectations produce differential outcomes. To investigate this question, using an existing dataset, we explored whether participants regularly exposed to positive messages about cognitive training efficacy improved more on self-reported cognitive ability, specifically with respect to their perceived cognitive deficit (PCD). Participants (N = 104, age 64–84) were instructed to engage in computerized cognitive training at home for a total of 40 h over 8 weeks. Groups of participants received different messages during training intended to improve intervention adherence, but only one group experienced messages related to the benefits of cognitive training. Contrary to our prediction that perceived cognitive functioning would change as a function of exposure to the different message types, participants overall demonstrated a significant decrease in PCD after training, and this effect did not interact with message type. Additional exploratory analyses found that positive messages did not differentially impact self-efficacy or objective cognitive performance. Contrary to our expectations, perceived efficacy of cognitive training did not change as a function of condition, and on average perceived training efficacy significantly decreased post-intervention. Results advance understanding of how messages delivered during training may or may not impact beliefs in cognitive training efficacy and subjective and objective outcome measures.

OBJECTIVE:A rural primary care clinic implemented an advance practice providers, including nurse practitioner (APRN)-led integrated behavioral health program to facilitate holistic health care delivery.METHODS:Implementation was facilitated by Health Resources and Services Administration Grant funding to a state University College of Nursing. The College formed an academic-practice partnership with a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) to implement integrated care in a rural satellite clinic administered by the FQHC. An interdisciplinary team (two family APRNs, a psychiatric APRN, a licensed behavioral health provider, and the Grant Project Director who is a Psychiatric APRN and a licensed Psychologist) provided the integrated care based on the University of Washington’s Collaborative Care Model.RESULTS:This brief report describes the implementation of integrated care during the clinic’s first year, services provided, lessons learned, community response, and improvement in anxiety and depressive symptoms for patients who were treated for behavioral health problems. An exemplar illustrates how collaborative care addressed one patient’s behavioral health and primary care needs.CONCLUSIONS:APRN-led collaborative care can expand access to holistic, affordable care in rural areas to improve mental health. Adaptation and flexibility in traditional roles may be necessary and determining post-grant access to funding for services will be necessary for sustainability.

Most of the candy sellers are Kichwa-speaking Indigenous people from Ecuador’s rural central highlands. They are part of the largest wave of Ecuadoran migration to the U.S. since the turn of the century: In January, for the first time, Ecuadorans were more common than any other nationality of migrants detained by Mexican authorities. Whole families are fleeing a country mired in a socioeconomic crisis, driven by radical cuts to public spending and an overwhelmed health-care system still recovering from the pandemic.

Aug 17th 2023, 05:39

Abstract
Children of Deaf Adults (CODAs) are uniquely positioned at the intersection between Deaf and hearing communities and often act as interpreters for their parents and hearing individuals. Informed by previous research which has highlighted language brokering as a core element of CODAs’ experiences, along with the research which identifies the risk for parentification among CODAs, the aim of this study is to explore CODAs’ experiences of their roles within deaf-parented households and beyond the household, at the intersection between the Deaf and hearing worlds. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 CODAs (Mean age 36.33 years, Range 22–54 years) in Ireland. Three themes were generated from the analysis of the interviews: “It was really normal”, Facing the Stigma associated with Deafness, and Being a Language Broker. The findings suggest that healthcare and education providers need a better understanding of the unique situations faced by CODAs in their roles as mediators between their parents and the hearing community, so that children and Deaf parents can be appropriately supported in their interactions with professionals.

Aug 17th 2023, 05:14

Abstract
Rationale, Aimsand Objectives
Healthcare systems are confronted with a rising number of patients with chronic conditions and complex care needs, requiring the development of new models of coordinated, patient-centred care. In this study, we aimed to describe and compare a range of new models of care recently implemented in primary care in Switzerland, as well as to gain insight into the type of coordination or integration implemented, the strengths and weaknesses of each model and the challenges they face.
Method
We used an embedded multiple case study design to describe in-depth a series of current Swiss initiatives that specifically aim to improve care coordination in primary care. For each model, documents were collected, a questionnaire was administered and semistructured interviews with key actors were conducted. A within-case analysis followed by a cross-case analysis were performed. Based on the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care framework, similarities and differences between the models were highlighted.
Results
Eight integrated care initiatives were included in the analysis, representing three types of models: independent multiprofessional GP practices, multiprofessional GP practices/health centres that are part of larger groups and regional integrated delivery systems. Recognized effective activities and tools to improve care coordination, such as multidisciplinary teams, case manager involvement, use of electronic medical records, patient education and use of care plans, were implemented by at least six of the eight initiatives studied. The main obstacles to the implementation of integrated care models were the inadequate Swiss reimbursement policies and payment mechanisms and the desire of some healthcare professionals to protect their territory in a context where new roles are emerging.
Conclusion
The integrated care models implemented in Switzerland are promising; nevertheless, financial and legal reforms must be introduced to promote integrated care in practice.

Aug 17th 2023, 04:33

Research on Social Work Practice, Ahead of Print. Purpose: This paper compares two iterations (in-person and online) of a multi-stage continuing education program for improving high-risk decision-making among mental health workers. Methods: The mixed-methods study analyzed the following: (1) physiological and psychological arousal during simulated patient interviews; (2) physiological and psychological arousal recorded during real-time decision-making over four months; and (3) thoughts on the process and outcomes of the intervention raised in reflective interviews. Findings: Quantitatively, there were no statistical differences in stress measures between in-person and online simulated interviews or decision-making logs, suggesting they were effective in eliciting reactions commonly found in challenging clinical situations. Qualitatively, participants in both iterations indicated that the intervention caused them to reflect on practice, consider a wider range of factors related to the decisions, and enact approaches to improve decision-making. Conclusions: A carefully constructed online continuing education experience can result in outcomes for experienced social workers that are equivalent to an in-person iteration.
