Feb 5th 2024, 14:14

Health Psychology, Vol 43(1), Jan 2024, 19-33; doi:10.1037/hea0001305
Objectives: Adhering to behavioral recommendations and nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) is a key to control COVID-19 infection rates. However, rates have decreased globally, and potentially modifiable determinants of ongoing adherence and their interaction with social and physical momentary environments are still poorly understood. Here, we comprehensively examine within-person variations and between-person differences in known behavioral determinants (capability and motivation), as well as the moderating role of situational variable environmental factors (opportunity) in predicting adherence to hygiene and social distancing behaviors. Method: Ecological momentary assessment study over 6 months with monthly assessment bouts (4 days each and five daily assessments) in 623 German adults. Repeated daily assessments of capability, opportunity, motivation, and behavior (COM-B) model factors. Bayesian multilevel logistic regression models were estimated to examine main effects of COM-B factors and moderating effects of momentary environmental factors. Results: Momentary adherence to NPIs was predicted by within-person changes in COM-B factors (motivation: intentions, goal conflict, and control beliefs; opportunities: regulations and norms). Between-person differences in capabilities (habit strength) and motivation (intentions and control beliefs) predicted adherence across situations. Situation-specific environmental factors moderated the motivation-behavior association (regulation measures increased; goal conflict and nonadherent others decreased the association). Conclusions: Individual momentary (within-person) and stable (between-person) motivation indicators predicted adherence. However, situational environmental factors such as regulations or norms have strong main effects and moderate the motivation-behavior translation. These findings have policy implications, supporting recent claims to not rely on the narrative of “personal responsibility,” but instead combine health education measures to increase individual motivation with consistent regulation.

Feb 5th 2024, 14:11

International Journal of Play Therapy, Vol 33(1), Jan 2024, 1-11; doi:10.1037/pla0000209
Research shows that a positive relationship between student and teacher has significant positive effects on students’ socioemotional and behavioral health (Ansari et al., 2020; Chen & Lindo, 2017; Rucinski et al., 2018; Wang et al., 2016). Research also supports the efficacy of child-centered play therapy (CCPT) to address children’s socioemotional and behavioral issues in schools, including CCPT-based interventions like filial therapy and child–teacher relationship training, delivered by teachers, and paraprofessionals (Bratton et al., 2005; Van Fleet, 2013). CCPT or child–teacher relationship training is not always available for teachers and paraprofessionals, especially in economically disadvantaged or rural areas, so researchers and practitioners have developed brief forms of training. Using a pretest, posttest design, we examined the efficacy of a 1-day child–teacher relationship training for 34 preschool teachers and paraprofessionals. We evaluated the impact of the brief training on participants’ scores on the Play Therapy Attitude-Knowledge-Skills Survey (S. C. Kao & Landreth, 1997) by conducting a paired-sample t test, finding statistically significant improvement and a large effect size for scores on each subscale after participants completed the training. We discuss limits of this pilot study and implications for future research. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

Feb 5th 2024, 13:12

Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(4), Dec 2023, 322-353; doi:10.1037/cpb0000261
Individuals with developmental disabilities (DD) face significant barriers limiting their opportunities for competitive integrated employment. Given the critically low employment rates and the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on individuals with DD, there is an urgent need for research that investigates ways to eradicate existing barriers to improve the employment outlook for this population. To address significant gaps in both research and practice, the present study involved a supervisor training needs analysis informed by four different sources of employee support representative of both hiring organizations and supported employment (n = 113). Results identified skill and knowledge gaps across various supervisor duties relating to onboarding, socialization, training, feedback and evaluation, health and well-being, general management, goal setting, job accommodations, career development, and disability awareness. Hence, each perspective provided valuable insight into the current skill and knowledge gaps of supervisors of employees with DD and indicated the need for training that extends beyond traditional disability awareness topics. Evidence gained from this study is expected to significantly shape inclusive organizational practices in preparing supervisors to more effectively manage and support employees with DD.

Feb 5th 2024, 11:13

Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology, Vol 31(6), Dec 2023, 998-1004; doi:10.1037/pha0000649
Polysubstance use of alcohol, cannabis, and nicotine has been shown to be correlated with opioid use disorder (OUD). The goal of this study was to determine whether alcohol use disorder (AUD), cannabis use disorder (CUD), and/or nicotine dependence were associated with concurrent OUD. Data came from the 2015–2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (n = 282,768, 48.5% male). Weighted logistic regression was performed for experiencing OUD in the past year concurrent with AUD, CUD, nicotine dependence, all pairwise interactions, the three-way interaction, and demographic covariates. Compared to individuals with no substance use disorder (SUD), individuals with AUD had 5.24 times the odds (95% CI [4.25, 6.46]), individuals with CUD had 6.69 times the odds (95% CI [5.13, 8.72]), and individuals with nicotine dependence had 7.12 times the odds of experiencing OUD (95% CI [6.10, 8.32]). Individuals with either AUD and CUD or AUD and nicotine dependence had approximately 15 times the odds of having OUD than those with no SUD (95% CI [12.58, 19.53] and 95% CI [11.63, 18.19], respectively). Individuals with CUD and nicotine dependence had 27.35 times the odds of having OUD than those with no SUD (95% CI [21.88, 34.19]). Individuals with AUD, CUD, and nicotine dependence had 47.31 times the odds of having OUD compared to individuals with no SUD (95% CI [36.79, 60.83]). A multiplicative effect was present when two or more SUD occurred simultaneously and was greatest when all three occurred at once, which suggests that prevention programs or interventions aimed at OUD should focus on persons with multiple SUDs.

Feb 5th 2024, 10:13

Recent global events demonstrate that analytical frameworks to aid professionals in healthcare ethics must consider the pervasive role of social structures in the emergence of bioethical issues. To address this, the authors propose a new sociologically informed approach to healthcare ethics that they term “social bioethics.” Their approach is animated by the interpretive social sciences to highlight how social structures operate vis-à-vis the everyday practices and moral reasoning of individuals, a phenomenon known as social discourse. As an exemplar, the authors use social bioethics to reframe common ethical issues in psychiatric services and discuss potential implications. Lastly, the authors discuss how social bioethics illuminates the ways healthcare ethics consultants in both policy and clinical decision-making participate in and shape broader social, political, and economic systems, which then cyclically informs the design and delivery of healthcare.

Feb 5th 2024, 09:13

Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology, Vol 31(6), Dec 2023, 991-997; doi:10.1037/pha0000637
Alcohol use can be measured in many ways, including objectively through transdermal alcohol biosensors (e.g., transdermal alcohol concentration; TAC) or blood biomarkers (e.g., phosphatidylethanol; PEth), or subjectively through self-report (e.g., with the timeline followback; TLFB). However, it is unclear which measures best indicate changes in alcohol use within individuals following intervention, and if they have concurrent validity. In the context of contingency management (CM) with a goal of 30-day abstinence (n = 45, 60% male, 80% Black; Mage = 56.7; 58% with HIV), we examined relationships among changes in TAC-AUC (area under the curve, reflecting volume consumed), PEth, and self-reported number of drinks. The Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor Continuous Alcohol Monitoring (SCRAM-CAM) biosensor was used to collect TAC-AUC during a pre-CM period (∼7 days) and over a 30-day CM period. PEth was collected at baseline and 30-day follow-up. Number of drinks was self-reported through a 30-day TLFB at baseline and follow-up. Daily TAC-AUC and number of self-reported drinks were calculated for the pre-CM period and for the last 7 days of the CM period. Linear regression models controlling for baseline values revealed that change in TAC-AUC was significantly associated with change in PEth (β = 0.33, p p p

Feb 5th 2024, 08:38

Active Learning in Higher Education, Ahead of Print. In a globalizing world, social skills are becoming increasingly necessary on an individual and professional level. University students having these skills before graduation will provide them with significant advantages in both their professional and personal lives. Active learning is an approach that allows students to learn knowledge and skills by experiencing them. In this approach, students take an active role in the learning process. This research investigates the impact of social skills development workshops using an active learning approach on a group of 19 participants. Using a qualitative research approach, inductive thematic analysis was employed to examine the participants’ workshop experiences. Based on the research findings, it is evident that the social skills development workshops prepared with an active learning approach have provided many benefits to participants in their personal and professional lives. These workshops have positively influenced participants’ social skills, such as communication, collaboration, teamwork, and empathy, and have helped them gain positive perspectives on developing social skills.

Feb 5th 2024, 07:33

Abstract
Social work student supervision during field education is a mandated requirement where students review their activities and learning in the workplace with field educators (FEs). Inevitably service users will be discussed in supervision but will have little or no opportunity to represent their perspectives during sessions. In order to explore how service user perspectives might be integrated into supervision, this qualitative study examined the participation of two Lived Experience Educators in supervision sessions between six social work students and their FEs during final placement. Despite some initial trepidation, participants reported a significant and overwhelmingly positive impact based on more equalised power differentials, greater depth of reflection and the emergence of new ideas on increasing accountability to service users. These results have implications for the practice of supervision, with both students and staff, and for how people with lived experience expertise may contribute to improving service culture for the intended beneficiaries of social work services.

Feb 5th 2024, 07:13

Health Psychology, Vol 43(1), Jan 2024, 34-40; doi:10.1037/hea0001321
Objective: Threat perceptions during evaluation for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the emergency department (ED) predict posttraumatic stress symptoms (PSS). It is unknown how health insurance status affects threat perceptions. We tested whether lacking health insurance is associated with higher threat perceptions and PSS in patients with suspected ACS in the ED and whether threat perceptions mediate associations between lack of health insurance and subsequent PSS. Method: Patients in the Columbia University Irving Medical Center ED with suspected ACS enrolled in an observational cohort study of psychological and cardiovascular outcomes. A multivariable linear regression model tested health insurance status as the predictor of ED threat perceptions and PSS 1-month posthospitalization, adjusting for age, gender, education, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events risk score. A bootstrapped mediation model tested health insurance status as the predictor, PSS 1-month posthospitalization as the outcome, and ED threat perceptions as the mediator, with the same covariates. Results: Of 1,741 patients with suspected ACS in the ED (Mage = 61.01 years, SD = 13.27; 47.1% women), a plurality identified as “Other” race (36.1%), Black (23.9%), and White (22.4%), and 10.3% of patients were uninsured. Lack of health insurance was associated with greater threat perceptions, b = −0.16, 95% CI [−0.26, −0.06], p = .002. Threat perceptions mediated the association between lack of health insurance and higher 1-month PSS, indirect effect = −1.04, 95% CI [−1.98, −0.17]. Conclusions: Lacking health insurance may heighten threat perceptions during ACS evaluation, which may put patients at risk of developing PSS.

Feb 5th 2024, 07:13

What exactly is a “wicked problem”? It is a social or economic problem that is so complex and so interconnected with other issues that it is extraordinarily difficult or impossible to resolve. This is because all proposed resolutions generate equally complex, equally wicked problems. In this essay, I argue that precision medicine, especially in the context of the U.S. healthcare system, generates numerous wicked problems related to distributive justice. Further, I argue that there are no easy solutions to these wicked problems. The need for trade-offs is inescapable. Rough justice is the best outcome we can hope for, and that outcome requires a commitment to processes of public reason that are fair and inclusive.

Feb 5th 2024, 06:43

Health Psychology, Vol 43(1), Jan 2024, 1-6; doi:10.1037/hea0001329
Objective: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) disproportionately affects sexual minority men (SMM) and is linked to discrimination-related stress. Belief in a just world—including the belief that one personally gets what one deserves (personal justice beliefs)—is a coping strategy that can protect against discrimination-related stress and CVD risk. Here, we examine links between personal justice beliefs, perceived everyday discrimination, and carotid intima media thickness (cIMT)—a measure of atherosclerosis that can indicate subclinical CVD. Method: Sexual minority White (29%) and racial minority (African American 18.8%, mixed/other 44.9%) male young adults (N = 69) completed measures of personal justice beliefs and everyday discrimination. cIMT imaging was used to compute common carotid artery (CCA) intima media thickness. Results: Hierarchical multiple regressions revealed associations between justice beliefs, perceived discrimination, and cIMT that were moderated by age. Consistent with prior research, personal justice beliefs predicted less perceived discrimination, especially among older SMM. However, personal justice beliefs were also linked to greater rather than less CCA among older SMM. Conclusions: Relationships between believing in justice and CVD may be complex among minority groups. Among SMM, the belief in personal justice may reduce perceived discrimination, but may be simultaneously deleteriously associated with biological processes that underlie CVD.

Feb 5th 2024, 05:12

Consulting Psychology Journal, Vol 75(4), Dec 2023, 354-368; doi:10.1037/cpb0000225
There is growing evidence that neurodiversity can strengthen a workforce by adding new aptitudes, skills, and ways of doing things. This contrasts with traditional views that engaging those with neurominority conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents challenges in areas such as emotional intelligence, ability to quickly incorporate group norms, ability to network, and being a team player. Results from a survey conducted in Canada between 2015 and 2018 provided support for the success of individuals with ASD when selected under favorable employment conditions and provided with appropriate environmental accommodations, if necessary. Eighty-four percent of these individuals were still employed 2 years later, either in the same job or in an equivalent one in the same or a different organization. This was a much better employment outcome than has previously been reported for individuals with ASD. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

Feb 5th 2024, 04:29

Families in Society, Ahead of Print. Identifying the strengths and risks of prospective matches in adoption is crucial to adoption placement stability. With the aim to deliver a consistent and service-led approach to matching children in care with prospective adopters, a tool to identify strengths and risks related to adoption placement was developed. Using a mixed-methods approach, this tool was developed in line with the psychometric theory of test construction, from item generation using semi-structured interviews and survey methods, and exploratory factor analysis to determine the factor structure of the assessment-to-assessment of retest reliability and finalization. Comprising three main components (adopter capabilities and skills, adopter profiles and characteristics, and adoption plans, preparations, and transitions), this tool can be used by practitioners to identify strengths and risks in proposed matches at any point during the linking and matching process.

Feb 5th 2024, 04:29

Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Ahead of Print. BackgroundAlmost a quarter of children and young people (CYP) in England have a long-term health condition (LTC), which increases the risk of developing mental health difficulties. There is a lack of understanding regarding the routine provision and efficacy of mental health interventions for CYP with LTCs within Children and Young People’s Mental Health Services (CYPMHS).MethodsThis study analysed national service-reported data in England from two secondary datasets. Data were submitted by services between 2011 and 2019. We evaluated data on the presence or absence of a serious physical health or neurological issue, and which interventions were offered.ResultsA total of 789 CYP had serious physical health issues and 635 had neurological issues. The most common interventions delivered to CYP in either group have some evidence in the literature. Most CYP showed improvements across a range of outcomes.ConclusionsThis study found that prevalence rates and psychological intervention and outcome data were widely under-reported across both datasets, posing questions about their utility for this population. Such data would benefit from triangulation with data from other sources to understand pathways of care for these young people and the extent to which clinical datasets underreport the number of CYP with LTCs.Plain language summaryAlmost a quarter of children and young people (CYP) in England have a long-term health condition (LTC), such as asthma, diabetes, or epilepsy. We know that these young people are at increased risk of developing mental health difficulties. It is important these young people are able to access safe and effective treatments for their mental health. Therefore, they are sometimes referred to Children and Young People’s Mental Health Services (CYPMHS) for appropriate treatment. However, at the moment, not much is known about the types of mental health support these services offer to children with co-existing physical health needs, or if this support is effective. The aim of this study was to try and find this out. We used data that had already been collected from mental health services across England. We looked at specific parts of this data that gave us information about the type of mental health treatments delivered to children with a long-term health condition. We separated long-term health conditions into two categories: physical health, such as diabetes or asthma; and neurological, such as epilepsy. In the sample we looked at, a range of mental health treatments were delivered to young people in both groups. Encouragingly, many of the young people’s mental health improved. However, a lot of information we would hope to find was not available in the datasets. Also, the number of children with a long-term health condition was much lower than we expected. This might have been for a number of reasons, which we recommend other future research tries to find out. Going forward, it is important to think about how to make sure that accurate information about these children is collected from mental health services. This will help ensure that the right decisions are made for the care of young people with long-term health conditions.

Feb 5th 2024, 03:33

Health Education Journal, Ahead of Print. Objective:Over the past three decades, cultural competence has been widely promoted in the health disciplines, including in health education and promotion, as a tool to address health disparities and promote health equity among diverse populations. Cultural intelligence (CQ), or the individual’s capability to adjust to cultural situations based on multiple factors including cognitive, metacognitive, motivational and behavioural characteristics, can be another useful tool when addressing the needs of diverse groups. The goal of this study was to assess the level of CQ among health education specialists and its relationship with cultural competence skills (CCS) among members of this group.Design:Five hundred and forty randomly selected health education specialists in the USA completed an online survey. The survey included questions to assess CQ, CCS and demographic information. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance were used to analyse the data.Results:Results from the study showed that there was a significant variation in CQ among health education specialists based on race/ethnicity, education, the percentage of cultural/racial/ethnic diverse people they serve, and participation in professional development training. There was also a positive correlation between CQ and CCS, and between each of the CQ capabilities and CCS. Finally, both CQ metacognitive and cognitive capabilities were significant predictors of the overall CCS score.Conclusion:Findings from this study showed that CQ is associated with CCS among health education specialists. The results of the study suggest that health education specialists should consider CQ a useful tool with which to increase CCS.
