Aug 5th 2024, 15:09

Journal of Applied Gerontology, Ahead of Print. Reminiscence has been found to be an effective therapy for older adults and researchers and practitioners have identified a range of benefits, from cognitive stimulation to the reconciliation of past experiences. In this qualitative study, the authors explore the experiences of older adults engaged in a technology-enhanced form of reminiscence therapy (RT) using three-dimensional (3D) printed objects from peoples’ past. Content analysis of individual interviews with seven participants (n = 7) revealed three themes: (1) positive experiences with the RT intervention; (2) reflections on the use of 3D printed objects; and (3) the development of relationships between participants and researchers. These findings suggest that RT using 3D printed objects can be effective, but only if objects are accurate and if it suits participants’ personalities. Researchers and practitioners may find that the use of 3D printed objects can enhance their RT interventions and thereby enrich the lives of older adults.

Aug 5th 2024, 15:07

Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, Ahead of Print. Grassroots associations (GAs) are the “keepers” of collective local knowledge yet uncovering that local knowledge remains challenging for nonprofit researchers. In this study, we propose the utility of reflexivity for nonprofit scholars conducting research aimed at accessing local knowledge within GAs and illustrate its use in practice through collaborative autoethnography (CAE). From block clubs to mutual aid groups, grassroots associations provide a space for members to come together, share insights, build community, and are important repositories of local knowledge. However, GAs remain the “dark matter” of the nonprofit sector—understudied and undertheorized. We discuss the difficulties nonprofit researchers face in accessing the local knowledge of resident within grassroots associations. We then present our CAE methodology and conclude by recommending that scholars interested in accessing local knowledge engage in reflexive praxis attuned to power and positionality. This study contributes to expanding our work with and knowledge of grassroots associations within nonprofit studies.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:52

Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy, Vol 16(5), Jul 2024, 741-748; doi:10.1037/tra0001547
Objective: This study aimed to understand the family experience and identify family resilience factors to help families adapt to and cope with COVID-19. Method: A purposive sample of 21 patients (from nine families) diagnosed with COVID-19 were recruited for interviews. Participants were interviewed using a semistructured question guide to explore family experiences. Deductive content analysis was used to develop emerging themes. Results: Deductive findings included three main themes: belief systems, family organizational patterns, and communication and problem solving. These themes can be applied to the analysis and conclusions related to family resilience during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: This study reveals the coping process of families after multiple members were diagnosed with COVID-19, from the establishment and reinforcement of belief systems to the determination of how the family copes with risks and finally their ability to withstand risks. In addition, the study supports the concept that family resilience can be demonstrated during epidemics. Considering that the COVID pandemic might persist for a significant period of time, doctors and nurses must focus not only on individuals but also on the overall recovery of the family and develop interventions aimed at improving family resilience during these challenging times.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:36

Background
Dog bites are a concerning health problem in children and one of the leading causes of non-fatal injuries in this population. Dog attacks not only cause physical injuries but can also lead to long-term psychological problems. A review was performed to investigate the scope of literature on the psychological effects of dog bites on a paediatric population.
Methods
A literature search was performed on Web of Knowledge database between 1982 to June 2023, returning 249 results. 14 primary studies reporting the psychological consequences of dog bites in children or adolescents were classed as eligible and 9 further studies were added from prior knowledge and bibliographical searches. 23 studies involving 1894 participants met the criteria and were included in this review.
Results
Of these 23 studies, 8 were case studies or small case series reports (up to n=4), 14 larger descriptive studies and 1 analytical cross-sectional study. There was a mixture of retrospective and prospective data-gathering. The most common psychological consequences of dog bites in children were post-traumatic stress disorder, dog phobia, nightmares and symptoms of anxiety and avoidance behaviours.
Conclusions
Studies on dog bites in a paediatric population with a specific focus on the psychological consequences associated with dog bites and their management are sparse. Future research and practice should more greatly consider the psychological impact on child victims of dog bites and their family members, as well as their management to avoid the development of mental health issues and improve their quality of life. Future research also needs to ascertain the efficacy of using virtual reality in treating children with dog phobia.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:31

Journal of Mixed Methods Research, Ahead of Print. Data collection in mixed methods research (MMR) can present challenges. To demonstrate the inherently mixed data collection within Q methodology (Q-technique), we start by generating a concourse of subjective statements with ChatGPT. A structured Q-sample is selected from the concourse using Fisher’s Design of Experiments which came from agricultural research and involves small sample theory and variance design. The process of the Q-sort involves each participant placing the Q-sample’s numbered subjective items into a continuum (grid) of Most Like to Most Unlike their view on the topic. Thus, the participants transform the subjective statements into a qualitative–quantitative hybrid representation of their inner subjectivity. The contribution to MMR is continuing the dialogue for integrated data collection via a specific example.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:13

Childhood, Ahead of Print. Researching with children and young people on topics that are considered to be ‘sensitive’, such as family violence, trauma and abuse, continues to be challenging. But there still is not enough evidence on children and young people’s own views and experiences of participating in ‘sensitive’ research. This article reflects on our experience, as a team of young lived experience advocates and a university researcher, of working together on a project to find out what children and young people in Victoria, Australia who have experienced family violence need to support them in their recovery. The project is about learning what is working well, what could be done better, and where the gaps are between what children and young people tell us they need from services, and what services are doing now. This article shares what we have learnt, including how we have set up a Youth Advisory Group and how we have developed an interactive online activity for children and young people to tell us about their experiences of family violence support services. We also discuss challenges we have faced, such as navigating power flows within the project team; embedding co-design into the project; and getting ethics approval to do this research. Finally, we share three guiding principles for collaborative research that puts children and young people’s voices, views and experiences at the centre. We hope that others can learn from our experience to promote the rights and participation of children and young people when working with them in research about family violence.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:11

Journal of Applied Gerontology, Ahead of Print. Non-pharmacological strategies are prioritized to manage dementia-related symptoms in nursing homes (NHs). A multiple-case study design, embedded within a pragmatic trial, examined NH staff perspectives of applying a team-based (TB) or problem-based dementia training program to resident care. A purposive sample of staff was recruited from 23 NHs to participate in one-on-one interviews, which were analyzed using a rapid qualitative approach. Both approaches yielded staff who were able to apply their training to resident care. Staff described similarities in communication strategies, family interactions, recognizing sources of behaviors, providing comfort, and ensuring resident safety. In addition, staff demonstrated increased self-efficacy when caring for residents. Differences emerged for team collaboration, engaging residents, and managing behaviors. Among TB staff, training impacted how staff cared for residents and increased teamwork. Leaders may want to consider the benefits of each approach as they deliberate on which dementia care training to provide to their staff.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:11

Journal of Applied Gerontology, Ahead of Print. While mobile technology is rapidly evolving, it remains a challenge for some older adults to use smartphones worldwide. To address this issue through tailored skill training and product design, this study developed a questionnaire to assess the smartphone proficiency of older adults. The Smartphone Proficiency Questionnaire for Chinese Older Adults (SPQ-COA) assessed proficiency based on 30 up-to-date tasks (e.g., mobile payment), that covered common operations in daily life of Chinese older adults. The questionnaire was distributed to 452 older adults (age ≥60), as well as 100 young adults (age: 18–30) as a control group. The questionnaire performed well in terms of reliability, difficulty, and discrimination. Among older adults, higher scores were associated with lower age, longer daily use duration, more years of use, higher monthly income, and higher education level, further validating the questionnaire. Overall, the SPQ-COA is a valid tool for evaluating Chinese older adults’ smartphone usage skills.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:10

Journal of Aging and Health, Ahead of Print. This special issue is the result of the Michigan Center for Contextual Factors in Alzheimer’s Disease (MCCFAD) third Summer Data Immersion (SDI) program held on May 23–26, 2022. Thirty-seven researchers from 17 universities participated in the program, which emphasized racial/ethnic and other contextual factors in the study of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) costs using a team science approach. During the program, data from the Health and Retirement Study were used to investigate multiple topics related to both financial and non-financial costs of ADRD including: (1) life course socioeconomic factors, (2) costs of preclinical ADRD, (3) COVID-19, (4) family members’ employment outcomes, (5) geographic contexts, (6) monetary value of unpaid ADRD care, and (7) spousal relations for couples living with ADRD.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:10

Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, Ahead of Print. Aggressive and violent behaviour is a challenging psychiatric emergency to manage, especially among vulnerable categories such as patients with Intellectual Developmental Disorder. Although there is some evidence that clozapine may be useful as an anti-violence compound, its use is limited by common metabolic complications. An adult patient presented with obesity, type II diabetes mellitus, compulsive food intake, severe Intellectual Developmental Disorder, and a treatment-resistant aggressive behaviour. Clozapine was administered resulting in reduced aggressive behaviour. Unexpectedly, a reduction in the food craving as well as a sustained improvement in both anthropometric parameters and glycemic control were observed during the clozapine treatment. Our case report, describes these findings for the first time, highlighting the need for more clinical research to investigate both the efficacy of clozapine in the Intellectual Developmental Disorder populations and its long-term effects with special regard to the metabolic outcomes in this type of patients.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:10

Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, Ahead of Print. Decades of research indicate social support is vital for retaining teachers. However, little is known about social support for teachers serving students with extensive support needs. The purpose of this study was to explore whether collective social assets (administrative support, colleague support, paraeducator support, school culture) were associated with retaining special education teachers (SETs) who serve students with extensive support needs (e.g., intellectual disability, autism). Stepwise regression analyses and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze survey data from SETs across the United States. Results showed that positive social supports are critical, and teachers serving students with autism reported the highest levels of social support in three of the four social assets categories. Implications for future research and practice are discussed, as well as a need to promote and better understand positive school culture as this variable weighed heavily across SETs.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:10

Journal of Intellectual Disabilities, Ahead of Print. Constipation is common in people with intellectual disability, with case reports of associated deaths. Risk factors include lifestyle factors, health conditions, and certain medications. We aimed to explore constipation in a sample of people with intellectual disability who died in 2021. We described prevalence of constipation, causes of death and the risk of secondary constipation from prescribed medications. Medications were scored based on the risk of constipation indicated in the drug profile. Forty-eight percent of the sample had constipation. Half of the sample were prescribed at least two medications that are commonly associated with side effects of constipation. There were high rates of antipsychotic (30%) and laxative (40%) drug prescription. Five people with a history of constipation died of causes of death associated with constipation. Our findings highlight the risk of secondary constipation due to prescribed medication and the seriousness of the condition in people with intellectual disability.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:09

Autism, Ahead of Print. This study examined factors of implementation in clinical practice across the world of the Pediatric Autism Communication Therapy, an evidence-based parent-mediated therapy. Data were gathered via a survey administered to professionals trained in Pediatric Autism Communication Therapy and parents with whom they worked. The study was a mixed-method design informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Over 70% of the practitioners recorded the intent to implement therapy after Pediatric Autism Communication Therapy training. Implementation was more likely if the practitioner saw mostly autistic children within their work (odds ratios ≈ 5), was easier with new referrals, and with peer support from colleagues and managers, allowing scheduling flexibility. The main barriers for practitioners were time (sessions > 1 h), suitable video equipment, low parental self-reflection abilities and family stress. Parents rated the feasibility of learning and using Pediatric Autism Communication Therapy in daily life highly (median = 5.4; interquartile range = 4.5, 6.8; range = 1–7) and delivered home-based practice a median of 4 days per week (daily practice recommended). The facilitators of implementation for parents included positive regard for the features of the Pediatric Autism Communication Therapy method (video reflection, parental empowerment, and play-based practice). The barriers for parents were mostly related to time availability. These results outline the importance of family and system-context factors necessary for successful parent-mediated therapy implementation.Lay AbstractFactors influencing the implementation of parent-mediated intervention are insufficiently studied. This study examines for the first-time factors of implementation into clinical practice across the world of Pediatric Autism Communication Therapy, an internationally disseminated, evidence-based, parent-mediated therapy. From both the parents’ and the professionals’ perspectives, parents attitudes (e.g. self-reflection abilities and videotaping management) and life-circumstances (e.g. stressed families condition and time) were central factors. In this type of therapy, the target is a child’s development; still, this improvement is dependent on the parent’s behavior when interacting with their child. What’s more, Pediatric Autism Communication Therapy method (video reflection, empowerment of parent, play-based) was enabler according to most of the parents. And more, most professionals report factors linked to the Implementation Process that is planning, execution, reflection and assessment in implementation of a new therapy. Indeed, the professionals underlined barriers related to the population seen in practice, flexibility of schedule, support from colleagues and manager. All these factors could be improved and addressed with a formal implementation plan including factors related to the parents of each country.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:09

Autism, Ahead of Print. Emerging evidence suggests parenting supports implemented in the first 2 years of life may influence developmental outcomes for infants more likely to be Autistic. Yet questions remain about acceptability of these supports to the Autistic and autism communities. Through mixed-methods participatory research – co-designed and produced by Autistic and non-Autistic researchers – we sought diverse community perspectives on this topic, including to understand the relative acceptability of different support options. A total of 238 participants completed our online survey: 128 Autistic and 110 non-Autistic respondents, some of whom also self-identified as parents of Autistic, otherwise neurodivergent, and/or neurotypical children, and/or as health/education professionals and/or researchers. Most participants agreed that very-early-in-life approaches should help parents understand and support their children, and disagreed that these should seek to suppress autistic behaviour. Most agreed with the goal of respecting infant autonomy, and that parent education towards creating sensitive, accommodating environments could be appropriate, albeit with nuanced differences-of-opinion regarding the acceptability of specific therapeutic approaches. Participants generally endorsed the terms ‘support’ (vs ‘intervention’) and ‘early-in-life’ (vs ‘at-risk’/‘pre-emptive’). Engaging equal-power partnerships for the development, delivery of, and discourse around early-in-life autism supports will ensure end-user community values and needs are respected.Lay abstractMost support programmes for Autistic children are available only after they are diagnosed. Research suggests that parenting supports may be helpful for parents and their infants, when provided in the first 2 years of life – before a formal diagnosis is given, but when information suggests an infant is more likely to be Autistic. However, we do not know how acceptable these types of supports might be to the Autistic and autism communities. We asked 238 Autistic and non-autistic people – some of whom were parents, and some of whom were professionals working in research, health and education – about their perspectives on very-early supports. People generally agreed that it could be acceptable to work with parents to help them understand and support their child’s specific needs and unique ways of communicating. People suggested a variety of support strategies could be acceptable, including parent education, changing the environment to meet an infant’s needs, and creating opportunities for infants’ to make choices and exercise control. People preferred respectful and accurate language – including the term ‘support’ (rather than ‘intervention’) and ‘early-in-life’ (rather than ‘at-risk’ of autism, or ‘pre-emptive’ when describing developmental stage). Continuing to work with community members will help to make sure autism support programmes are relevant and helpful.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:09

Autism, Ahead of Print. Autism is associated with significantly higher rates of internalizing and externalizing disorders compared to neurotypical (NT) individuals. Emotion dysregulation (ED) is prevalent in autistic individuals and has been proposed to underlie both internalizing disorders and behavioral challenges in autism. This study sought to use a meta-analytic approach to examine the magnitude of ED severity in autistic samples compared to NT and other clinical (OC) samples. Following a review of the literature, a total of 35 studies were included in the analyses. In general, when comparing autistic to non-autistic individuals, findings suggest a medium magnitude of difference in ED severity between autistic and comparison groups overall. Subgroup analyses indicate that autistic individuals experience significantly higher ED severity when compared to NT peers. However, when compared to OC peers, the effect is small, suggesting the severity of ED may be more similar between OC and autistic groups. Moderators were also explored, including autistic traits, age, and sex composition. These findings provide integral information about the severity of ED in autistic populations compared to other non-autistic populations, assisting in further clarifying the presence of mental health challenges in autistic youth.Lay AbstractAutistic people often experience other mental health challenges, which makes it particularly important to understand factors that may contribute to the development of these conditions. Emotion dysregulation, or difficulties in effectively regulating one’s own emotions in response to a changing environment, is one factor that is experienced frequently by autistic and non-autistic people and is commonly related to a wide range of mental health conditions. This article represents a quantitative synthesis of the current state of the literature on emotion dysregulation, with a specific focus on how the severity of emotion dysregulation differs across autistic and non-autistic people across the lifespan. The findings suggest elevated emotion dysregulation in autistic individuals compared to both neurotypical and other clinical populations and provide insights into the experiences of emotion dysregulation in autistic people. Overall, this article underscores the importance of more research into emotion dysregulation in autistic people to inform areas of challenges related to emotion dysregulation that can be used to better inform treatment targets.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:09

Sexual Abuse, Ahead of Print. The main objective of this research is to study the relationships of offense-supportive cognitions and sexual fantasies with sex crime. The research involved 48 men: 26 convicted of sexual offenses against minors and 22 convicted of sexual offenses against adults from different prisons in the Community of Madrid, Spain. We used the RAPE Scale and the Sex With Children Scale to evaluate offense-supportive cognitions and an ad hoc adaptation of the Multidimensional Developmental, Sex and Aggression Inventory to evaluate sexual fantasies with minors and sadomasochistic fantasies. The results show that both groups present similar offense-supportive cognitions, while each group had significantly more sexual fantasies related to their specific crime. Participants who had sexual fantasies about minors presented significantly more offense-supportive cognitions justifying child sexual abuse than those who did not present these fantasies, while participants with sadomasochistic fantasies did not present more offense-supportive cognitions about rape. After collecting this information, we ran four mediation models to assess potential relationships between fantasies, offense-supportive cognitions, and specific sexual crime. The mediation models showed that both sexual fantasies with minors and sadomasochistic fantasies had direct relationships with sex crimes. Upon further confirmation with studies with larger sample sizes, our findings support the importance of dealing with sexual fantasies in treatment of people convicted of sexual offenses and imply a need for differentiated treatment, since the content of sexual fantasies was different in each group.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:09

Sexual Abuse, Ahead of Print. Research has consistently found risk for sexual recidivism drops as men convicted of a sexual offense age. One question that remains, however, is whether this age-related reduction in risk applies to men who commit their sexual offenses at an older age. The current study examined this question in a sample of 939 men who were screened for civil management and released to the community (mean follow-up = 6.33 years, SD = 3.98 years), by comparing the sexual recidivism rates of (a) 238 men convicted of sexual offenses committed over the age of 60 (Over-60 Index group), and (b) 701 men who committed sexual offenses under the age of 60 but who were released to the community over the age of 60 (Under-60 Index group). Even though the Under-60 Index group was significantly higher risk at release, the Over-60 Index group sexually recidivated at a significantly higher rate, a difference largely driven by the small group of men who had committed sexual offenses both under and over the age of 60. The Static-99R was a strong predictor of sexual recidivism regardless of age at sexual offending (i.e., just under 60, just over 60, or both under and over 60). The 2021 Routine Samples norms significantly overpredicted sexual recidivism for the Under-60 Index group and significantly underpredicted sexual recidivism for the Over-60 Index group, indicating that the use of the 2016 High Risk/High Needs norms could be more appropriate for the Over-60 Index group, particularly those men who sexually offended under the age of 60 before sexually offending over the age of 60.

Aug 5th 2024, 14:09

Sexual Abuse, Ahead of Print. Understanding the difference between the proportion of sexual offenses that are officially detected versus the total number of sexual crimes that occur has been of interest to decision makers for some time. Previous studies have not considered possible racial differences. More aggressive responses by police and the criminal justice system as well as cultural differences in victim type/reporting rates may result in differences between detection rates of Black versus White men. In the current study (N = 190), we examined the difference between Black (n = 51) and White (n = 139) men committed to a forensic hospital as a Sexually Violent Person on factors that could impact the detected rate. Overall, we found that White men had significantly more total victims, undetected victims, undetected and detected child victims, total male victims, undetected male victims, undetected acquaintance victims, and total (detected and undetected) acquaintance victims than Black men. Black men had significantly more detected adult victims, but this difference did not remain when accounting for undetected victims. We explore reasons for these differences as well as provide recommendations for practice.

Aug 5th 2024, 13:32

Psychological Services, Vol 21(2), May 2024, 224-234; doi:10.1037/ser0000822
The Veterans Health Administration’s Whole Health system of care focuses on offering veterans holistic health approaches and tailoring health care to individual’s goals and preferences. The present study assessed factors associated with Whole Health use and its potential benefits among veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) receiving Veterans Health Administration care. This cohort study used retrospective electronic health records combined with survey data (baseline, 6 months) from 18 Veterans Affairs Whole Health pilot implementation sites and compared patient-reported outcomes between veterans who used Whole Health services versus those who did not, among veterans with (n = 1,326) and without (n = 3,243) PTSD. Patient-reported outcomes assessed were pain (PEG), patient-reported outcomes measurement information system physical and mental health functioning, and a one-item global meaning and purpose assessment. Veterans with PTSD were more likely to have used Whole Health (38% vs. 21%) than those without PTSD. Veterans with PTSD who used Whole Health services experienced small improvements over 6 months in physical (Cohen’s d = .12) and mental (Cohen’s d = .15) health functioning. Veterans without PTSD who used Whole Health services experienced small improvements in physical health (Cohen’s d = .09) but not mental health (Cohen’s d = .04). Veterans with PTSD were frequently connected with Whole Health services even though implementation efforts were not explicitly focused on reaching this population. Results suggest Whole Health may play an important role in how veterans with PTSD engage with health care. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
