Feb 25th 2024, 04:23

Workplace suicide can have significant knock-on effects within an organisation, yet research has shown within the healthcare profession, not all staff receive suicide prevention training, and few employers take the time to reflect on the need to change workplace policies or practices following the death of a staff member to suicide. How staff suicide is communicated across an organisation and to family members is important. Effective crisis communication is critical for effective management for a timely and sensitive response to a staff suicide within an organisation. By doing so, workplaces can help to reduce the significant emotional trauma suicide can have on an employee, and support good mental health across its workforce. This study aimed to explore and understand the communication processes around staff suicide across a National Health Service (NHS) Trust and to provide recommendations based on these findings. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 29 participants, each lasting approximately 90 min. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) guidelines were followed. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data, resulting in seven themes being identified based on communication. Findings indicated that the Trust had no clear communication strategy in place for tackling staff suicide. Each suicide was handled differently, training across staff roles was lacking and operational procedures were deemed insensitive. This paper aimed to provide insight into the communication strategies used in the aftermath of a staff suicide. These findings highlight the inconsistency of the communication, lack of clear policy and guidance and the negative impact this had on staff. Further research is needed across NHS Trusts nationwide to gain insight into the current communication strategies in place to develop a national approach to clear communication following the death of an NHS worker to suicide.

Feb 25th 2024, 03:23

Lady health workers (LHWs) provide lifesaving maternal and child health services to >60% of Pakistan’s population but are poorly compensated and overburdened. Moreover, LHWs’ training does not incorporate efforts to nurture attributes necessary for equitable and holistic healthcare delivery. We developed an interdisciplinary humanities curriculum, deriving its strengths from local art and literature, to enhance character virtues such as empathy and connection, interpersonal communication skills, compassion and purpose among LHWs. We tested the curriculum’s feasibility and impact to enhance character strengths among LHWs.
We conducted a multiphase mixed-methods pilot study in two towns of Karachi, Pakistan. We delivered the humanities curriculum to 48 LHWs via 12 weekly sessions, from 15 June to 2 September 2021. We developed a multiconstruct character strength survey that was administered preintervention and postintervention to assess the impact of the training. In-depth interviews were conducted with a subset of randomly selected participating LHWs.
Of 48 participants, 47 (98%) completed the training, and 34 (71%) attended all 12 sessions. Scores for all outcomes increased between baseline and endline, with highest increase (10.0 points, 95% CI 2.91 to 17.02; p=0.006) observed for empathy/connection. LHWs provided positive feedback on the training and its impact in terms of improving their confidence, empathy/connection and ability to communicate with clients. Participants also rated the sessions highly in terms of the content’s usefulness (mean: 9.7/10; SD: 0.16), the success of the sessions (mean: 9.7/10; SD: 0.17) and overall satisfaction (mean: 8.2/10; SD: 3.3).
A humanities-based training for front-line health workers is a feasible intervention with demonstrated impact of nurturing key character strengths, notably empathy/connection and interpersonal communication. Evidence from this study highlights the value of a humanities-based training, grounded in local literature and cultural values, that can ultimately translate to improved well-being of LHWs thus contributing to better health outcomes among the populations they serve.

Feb 25th 2024, 01:08

Violence Against Women, Ahead of Print. Smart, Internet-connected devices—the so-called “Internet of Things” (IoT)—pose significant threats to victim-survivors of domestic and family violence (DFV). IoT systems have been used to abuse, harass, monitor, intimidate, and gaslight victim-survivors. We present findings from an abusability analysis that examined 13 IoT devices and allowed us to make several observations about common vulnerabilities to victim-survivors of DFV. We argue that IoT manufacturers must be encouraged to factor in the implications of DFV in the design of their products. Additionally, technology-facilitated abuse in DFV contexts must feature in industry and government safety-by-design approaches. Our results suggest ways IoT devices can be modified at low cost to alleviate opportunities for misuse, and we endorse IoT manufacturers to consider those risks early in the design stage.

Feb 24th 2024, 23:27

Study information presented in recruitment materials is an understudied factor that could lead to sampling bias, especially in the context of weight research. This study experimentally manipulated the phrasing of weight-related information included in recruitment materials and examined its impact on participants’ characteristics. We found that providing detailed information about study procedures allows participants to have more autonomy over their participation without affecting participant characteristics.

Abstract
Objective
Although 82% of American adults have a body mass index (BMI) of over 25, individuals with elevated BMI are considered difficult to recruit for studies. Effective participant identification and recruitment are crucial to minimize the likelihood of sampling bias. One understudied factor that could lead to sampling bias is the study information presented in recruitment materials. In the context of weight research, potential participants with higher weight may avoid studies that advertise weight-related procedures. Thus, this study experimentally manipulated the phrasing of weight-related information included in recruitment materials and examined its impact on participants’ characteristics.
Methods
Two visually similar flyers, either weight-salient or neutral, were randomly posted throughout a university campus to recruit participants (N = 300) for a short survey, assessing their internalized weight bias, anticipated and experienced stigmatizing experiences, eating habits, and general demographic characteristics.
Results
Although the weight-salient (vs. neutral) flyer took 18.5 days longer to recruit the target sample size, there were no between flyer differences in respondents’ internalized weight bias, anticipated/experienced weight stigma, disordered eating behaviors, BMI, or perceived weight. Absolute levels of these variables, however, were low overall.
Conclusion
Providing detailed information about study procedures allows participants to have more autonomy over their participation without differentially affecting participant characteristics.

Feb 24th 2024, 23:07

Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology, Vol 30(1), Jan 2024, 11-21; doi:10.1037/cdp0000313
Objective: The relationship between emotion expressivity and psychological symptoms varies by race/ethnicity, and reduced expression of emotions has been implicated in risk for suicidal ideation. The present study examined differences in the relation between emotion expressivity and suicidal ideation through well-documented correlates of suicide risk (i.e., hopelessness, depressive symptoms) among Asian American subgroups compared with White emerging adults. Method: A sample of 829 emerging adults, Ages 18 to 28 years, identifying as Asian American (27% East Asian, 18% South Asian, 11% Southeast Asian) or White (44%) completed measures of emotion expressivity, hopelessness, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation. Results: Lower emotion expressivity was statistically associated with higher levels of suicidal ideation, via hopelessness and depressive symptoms, among White, East Asian, and South Asian American emerging adults, but not among Southeast Asian Americans, though this difference in mediation was not statistically significant. Conclusion: A focus on Asian Americans as a homogenous group occludes important ethnic differences in the relation between emotion expressivity and vulnerability to suicidal ideation. Ethnic differences in the function of emotion expressivity should be considered in suicide prevention and interventions among Asian American emerging adults.

Feb 24th 2024, 22:36

Abstract
Typical school provision of physical education, physical activity and sports may impact adolescent physical health. However, systematic literature reviews and meta-analysis have not yet considered this impact. The Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, PsychINFO, ERIC and MEDLINE databases were searched for relevant literature (2000–2023) pertaining to adolescents aged 12–18 years in secondary schools. Twenty-nine studies met the inclusion criteria, including twenty-three interventions, four cross-sectional and two longitudinal studies. Included studies contributed 268 reported effects on indicators of adolescent obesity, physical fitness, blood pressure and bone health. Fifteen studies were included in the meta-analysis and reported significantly positive effects on indicators of adiposity in experimental groups with minor modifications to typical school provision (g =  − 0.11 [95% CI − 0.22, − 0.01], p < 0.04, I2 = 32.49%), in boys and girls. Subgroup analysis found significantly positive effects for body fat percentage (g =  − 0.28 [95% CI − 0.49, − 0.06], p < 0.01). Robust examples of best practice in schools include extended days dedicated to physical education weekly (≥ 4 days), integration of theoretical components to physical education, sports field/gymnasium availability and a range of training modalities. Studies without the integration of a minor modification to typical school provision were deemed to have a limited impact on adolescent physical health. Further research that examines the additive impact of school physical activity and sports to supplement physical education is warranted.

Feb 24th 2024, 22:11

Decision, Vol 11(1), Jan 2024, 60-85; doi:10.1037/dec0000211
Previous research shows that variation in coherence (i.e., degrees of respect for axioms of probability calculus), when used as a basis for performance-weighted aggregation, can improve the accuracy of probability judgments. However, many aspects of coherence-weighted aggregation remain a mystery, including both prescriptive issues (e.g., how best to use coherence measures) and theoretical issues (e.g., why coherence-weighted aggregation is effective). Using data from six experiments in two earlier studies (N = 58, N = 2,858) employing either general-knowledge or statistical information integration tasks, we addressed many of these issues. Of prescriptive relevance, we examined the effectiveness of coherence-weighted aggregation as a function of judgment elicitation method, group size, weighting function, and the bias of the function’s tuning parameter. Of descriptive relevance, we propose that coherence-weighted aggregation can improve accuracy via two distinct, task-dependent routes: a causal route in which the bases for scoring accuracy depend on conformity to coherence principles (e.g., Bayesian information integration) and a diagnostic route in which coherence serves as a cue to correct knowledge. The findings provide support for the efficacy of both routes, but they also highlight why coherence weighting, especially the most biased forms, sometimes imposes costs to accuracy. We conclude by sketching a decision–theoretic approach to how aggregators can sensibly leverage the wisdom of the coherent within the crowd.

Feb 24th 2024, 21:34

Abstract
Background and Objectives
Childhood trauma (CT) increases addiction vulnerability. We examined CT’s impact on delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) effects.
Methods
This is a post-hoc analysis of a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial investigating the effects of oral THC (10, 20 mg) among 25 persons receiving methadone for opioid use disorder (OUD).
Results
Greater CT was associated with lower aversive effects from higher THC doses (20 mg) (p = .006).
Discussion and Conclusions
CT may reduce the subjective aversive effects of THC, potentially leading to greater cannabis use in individuals with OUD.
Scientific Significance
These findings offer insights into THC’s risks versus benefits in OUD subgroups and emphasize assessing CT in OUD treatment and research.

Feb 24th 2024, 21:02

Journal of Latinx Psychology, Vol 12(1), Feb 2024, 18-33; doi:10.1037/lat0000235
Affiliate stigma or internalized shame among family of individuals with stigmatizing conditions, may be an important factor influencing help-seeking behaviors among Latinx caregivers of youth with mental health problems. The Affiliate Stigma Scale assesses Affect, Behavior, and Cognitive dimensions of stigma from caring for adults with intellectual disabilities. Among Latinxs, this scale has been adapted as a unidimensional measure of stigma from caring for a child with developmental disabilities and has been used to study resulting parenting stress and caregiver mental health problems. Research has yet to adapt this measure to examine multiple dimensions of affiliate stigma that Latinx caregivers may experience in response to youth emotional and/or behavioral problem. We sampled 511 (English = 275, Spanish = 236) Latinx caregivers and confirmed the factor structure of an adapted English- and Spanish-language Youth Affiliate Stigma Scale (YASS; ages 6–18), which specifically inquiries about caregiver stigma related to youth emotional or behavioral problems. Confirmatory factor analyses suggests that the measurement structure is best represented by the original three-factor solution. The similar measurement structure in both English and Spanish versions also suggests that YASS latent factors could be used across both language versions. All three dimensions of the YASS were associated with youth internalizing and externalizing problems. However, findings suggest externalizing problems may be particularly stigmatizing for Latinx caregivers. The YASS may improve our understanding of perceptual barrier to youth mental health services that could represent a fruitful point of intervention to address disparities within this group.

Feb 24th 2024, 19:27

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Vol 92(2), Feb 2024, 61-74; doi:10.1037/ccp0000849
Objective: Suicide rates among African American adolescents have increased exponentially in recent years. The socioecological stressors that can increase suicide risk for African American adolescents, in conjunction with unique suicide risk manifestations within this group, require culturally sensitive preventive interventions. This study examines the efficacy of the Adapted-Coping With Stress course (A-CWS), a culturally tailored preventive intervention, to reduce suicidal ideation in African American adolescents, utilizing a randomized controlled design. Method: Participants included 410 ninth-grade students in a large Midwestern city; most students identified as Black/African American. Participants were randomly assigned to either the A-CWS intervention or standard care control condition. All participants were assessed at baseline, immediately postintervention, and 6 and 12 months postintervention. Results: Treatment effects were examined using latent growth models comparing suicidal ideation trajectories in control and intervention conditions. Analyses were conducted using both intention-to-treat and treatment-as-received samples (i.e., intervention condition participants who attended at least 80% of sessions). In both intention-to-treat and treatment-as-received analyses, there was a significant treatment effect: Individuals in the A-CWS intervention condition with higher baseline ideation evidenced a superior reduction in suicidal ideation over the course of the study, relative to their counterparts in the standard care control condition. Conclusion: Findings indicate that the A-CWS preventive intervention is efficacious in reducing suicidal ideation among African American adolescents with higher levels of baseline suicidal ideation and that effects sustain over time, with the strongest effect evidenced 12 months postintervention.

Feb 24th 2024, 18:27

Journal of Latinx Psychology, Vol 12(1), Feb 2024, 34-47; doi:10.1037/lat0000238
Donald Trump’s election campaign in 2016 and subsequent presidential administration involved significant anti-Latinx rhetoric and coincided with an increase in hate crimes against people from racial/ethnic minority groups. The present study investigated Latinx Americans’ psychological health surrounding the 2020 U.S. election and Trump’s possible re-election, specifically focusing on anticipatory stress leading up to the election. One hundred ten Latinx participants (71% Mexican-American, 74% women, M = 23.6 years old) were included in the study, which occurred entirely online. We used a daily diary approach to measure participants’ affect, anxiety, and depression during a 14-day period, starting 1 week before the election. Piecewise growth models were used to examine trajectories during three separate periods of time: before Election Day, after Election Day before the winner was announced, and after the winner was announced. Depression, anxiety, and negative affect increased in anticipation of Election Day among those who did not vote or intend to vote for Trump. Following Election Day but before Biden was announced the winner, negative outcomes decreased while positive affect increased. Then, following the announcement of Biden as a winner, positive affect returned to baseline and negative outcomes remained stable. Exploratory analyses identified additional trait measures that moderated anticipatory stress, including nativity and ethnic identity. The 2020 U.S. presidential election was a stressful period of time for Latinx Americans. Increases in negative psychological outcomes were evident in anticipation of the election, suggesting macrolevel events can impact individuals’ health and well-being.

Feb 24th 2024, 17:27

Cultural Diversity and Ethnic Minority Psychology, Vol 30(1), Jan 2024, 1-10; doi:10.1037/cdp0000245
Objective: To examine purpose in life (PIL) and ethnic identity (EI) as buffers to suicide ideation for Asian American, Hispanic, and Black emerging adults who perceive racial discrimination. Method: Two-hundred eighty-nine undergraduate students enrolled at a large university in the southwestern region of the United States (40.8% Asian American, 32.5% Hispanic, 26.6% Black; 61.2% women; mean age = 20.47, SD = 1.83) reported on experiences of racial discrimination, PIL, EI, and suicidal thoughts. Covariates were intrinsic religiosity, gender, and age. Results: Regression analysis showed that EI was not a significant moderator for the association between perceived racial discrimination (PRD) and suicidal ideation (β = −.08, p = .13; 95% confidence interval (CI) [−.19, .03]). However, PIL was a significant moderator (β = −.11, p = .025; CI [−.20, −.01]). A hierarchical regression showed that PIL as a moderator explained additional variance (ΔR2 = 0.11, p

Feb 24th 2024, 16:28

Journal of Psychotherapy Integration, Vol 33(4), Dec 2023, 348-367; doi:10.1037/int0000307
Emotional processing has been proposed as a change mechanism in the context of personality pathology (PP). We start by providing a synthetic account of key developments in psychotherapy around experiential change, from both the experiential humanistic tradition and the experiential dynamic tradition. Some similarities between the two are presented in terms of (a) five general emotional change processes which help to define the associated emotional processing mechanism and (b) three relational arenas where experiential work is carried out. We then highlight a paradox of PP, which can both impel and interfere with emotional processing, as expressed in the dialectical tension between change and homeostasis. We interpret such conflicting self-strivings in terms of two self-organizations, one sustaining problematic habits of mind and another adaptive ones, and highlight them as potential targets of differential emotional processing, in an attempt to foster further habit-level change via state-level change. We present a three-dimensional matrix representing the first elements of a framework articulating the three in-session relational arenas used to facilitate emotional change processes in these self-organizations. We use it to review three clinical cases with PP informed by different experiential approaches. The framework proved to have heuristic transtheoretical value, illustrating emotional change processes and organizing the diversity of experiential work in the context of PP. We discuss the findings in the context of emotional processing as a change mechanism in PP, in particular, and in the context of the future of psychotherapy integration and research, in general.
