Sep 14th 2024, 15:34

International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology, Ahead of Print. The crime rates in urban centers are rising. The psychological impact of crime can range from distress to longstanding mental health impairment. Despite the rising crime rates and psychological impact on victims, little research has been conducted on older adult crime victims’ mental health. In this manuscript we describe the profile of older adult crime victims in New York City referred for mental health services, their rates of depression, and the preliminary outcome data from a brief therapy intervention (PROTECT) targeting depression among victims. Building on prior research demonstrating the efficacy of PROTECT for depressive symptom reduction in elder abuse victims, the present study hypothesized elder crime victims who completed PROTECT therapy would demonstrate clinically meaningful depression symptom reduction as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Additionally, it was hypothesized that these clinically significant depression symptom reductions would be demonstrated regardless of sex, gender, victimization type, victimization frequency, or living status. The results demonstrate that 67.7% (21/31) of participants had a clinically significant reduction in PHQ-9 scores (≥5 points) upon completion of PROTECT. There were no significant group differences in clinically significant depression symptom reduction, suggesting that PROTECT is an effective intervention for a diverse sample of elder crime victims. Future research should focus on the mental health impact of crime against older adults and explore reductions in anxiety and PTSD symptoms among crime victims. Through our partnerships we aim to bridge the divide between victim service providers, and mental health service providers to assist victims to recover, heal, and thrive.

For college freshmen, the first 6 weeks of the school year are typically a vulnerable time for underage drinking due to social pressures, increased freedom, and other factors. Underage and binge drinking are both serious public health problems and are common on many college campuses and in the surrounding neighborhoods. Binge-drinking rates are higher among college students than their noncollege peers.

Sep 14th 2024, 14:44

Abstract
Foster youth reportedly have a significant need for mental health services and the quality of the therapeutic relationship can influence service engagement. We employed grounded theory methods to conduct interviews and focus groups with 48 key stakeholders in child welfare to deepen our theoretical understanding of therapeutic relationships with foster youth. The central theory that emerged was that a successful therapeutic relationship is an essential ingredient of the healing process for current and former foster youth. Participants identified hindrances to a successful therapeutic relationship, such as when therapist mishandles countertransference or inappropriately uses self-disclosure, as well as what therapists can do to build a successful therapeutic relationship, such as when a therapist fosters a secure attachment and promotes client agency. The findings offer insight into some of the important facets of building and maintaining a trusting and successful therapeutic relationship with current and former foster youth.

Sep 14th 2024, 14:11

Violence Against Women, Ahead of Print. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a re-exacerbation of gender inequalities and violence against women was reported. For adequately responding to the causes of this situation and its aftermath, a detailed understanding of the gendered impacts of the pandemic and of subsequent developments is necessary. This aim may be supported by particularly using gender-sensitive modes of inquiry. Against this backdrop, we explore the methodological potential of grounded theory (GT) to explicitly guide gender-sensitive research. Given its methodological variations, we argue that an adequate handling of gender in GT can only be determined in relation to a researcher’s positioning within the GT landscape. Thus, to assist readers in translating their gender sensitivity into GT practices, this article outlines various interpretations of GT elements, discussing their relation to gender. Furthermore, strategies addressing gender-related challenges are presented and underlined by, among others, studies on discrimination and violence.

Sep 14th 2024, 13:01

Abstract
Background
Developments in digital technologies have transformed how people interact with the world, offering employment, education, communication, health benefits and entertainment. Research has shown that not everyone can easily access digital content, particularly people with intellectual disabilities. Despite internet access being recognised as a human right in the United Nations’ Conventions on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, this group faces significant disadvantages.
Methods
A thematic analysis of quantitative and qualitative findings was conducted with data from focus groups and interviews with 200+ participants across Ireland, Sweden, France, and the Netherlands on how people with intellectual disabilities are using technology at this time and access facilitators and barriers.
Findings
The pandemic exacerbated the digital divide between people with intellectual disabilities and their neurotypical peers, impacting physical and mental well-being. Growing demand for accessible digital skills training underscores the need to bridge this gap.
Conclusion
Addressing these digital access disparities is crucial to ensure that individuals with intellectual disabilities can enjoy the benefits of the digital age and maintain their well-being. By identifying priority topics in our interview data, researchers also pinpointed critical accessibility barriers and facilitators to support codesigning activities for future digital skills education content within the Digi-ID project.

Sep 14th 2024, 11:38

Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal, Vol 47(2), Jun 2024, 117-128; doi:10.1037/prj0000592
Objective: In Canada and elsewhere, making treatment decisions for a person with serious mental illness (SMI) who was found incapable for treatment decisions via a substitute decision maker (SDM) is the norm. This practice is often called into question from a rights-based perspective. The literature on the views of affected individuals is limited. We explore the experiences of adults with SMI who have had SDMs to gain more in-depth understanding. Method: We conducted semistructured interviews with 11 consumers of psychiatric services who have had experiences with SDM (range 1–12 years) at an urban hospital in Toronto, Canada. Results: Thematic analysis showed five main themes and related subthemes, including: (1) strong dissatisfaction with and rejection of the SDM’s role and purpose; (2) pervasive sense of stigma associated with having a SDM; (3) ongoing struggles to gain autonomy; (4) mixed changes in relationship with and views about SDM; and (5) views on how to improve SDM process. Conclusion and Implications for Practice: Our study highlights substantial dissatisfaction with the current SDM system and approaches among adults with SMI who have had SDMs. Issues of stigma and struggles to regain autonomy are prevalent. We discuss the personal, clinical, and social-legal contexts in which they occur, particularly in light of the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that calls for replacing SDMs with supported decision making. Rights-based approaches to care carry substantial practice implications and call for thoughtful change management. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

Sep 14th 2024, 10:09

Feminist Theory, Ahead of Print. Public discussions of miscarriage in the UK frequently describe it as a stigmatised phenomenon that is ‘shrouded in silence’. And in turn, ‘breaking the silence’ is presented as the means of defeating the stigma. In this article, however, I argue that it is time to abandon the ‘breaking the silence’ frame. This is not only because it overstates the public silence it condemns, but also because it is rooted in an inadequate understanding of stigma, which keeps us stuck in a cycle of talking more, rather than doing more, about miscarriage, and failing to connect miscarriage as a feminist issue with wider struggles for social justice. Drawing on critical sociologies of stigma developed by Imogen Tyler and others, I propose a paradigm shift: from a narrow liberal understanding of miscarriage stigma as a problem of social norms that can be alleviated through ‘breaking the silence’ and ‘awareness raising’, to a critical ‘stigma power’ approach which understands miscarriage stigma as a ‘machinery of inequality’ that fulfils a core function for patriarchal, racialised, neoliberal capitalist power structures, and hence requires transformative socioeconomic solutions. To this end, I call for a new research and activism agenda that fully incorporates miscarriage within the wider movement for Reproductive Justice.

Sep 14th 2024, 09:09

International Social Work, Ahead of Print. An increase in exposure to successive disaster events is causing widespread adverse impacts on social workers worldwide, resulting in escalated levels of stress and exhaustion. This article examines the concept of disaster fatigue and its impact on social workers engaging in disaster practice. A SAFE framework for addressing disaster fatigue is outlined involving: (S) sustaining self-care; (A) adopting a trauma-informed approach; (F) fostering professional capability; and (E) enhancing disaster preparedness. Implications for social work involve the need to move beyond individualised notions of burnout, compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress towards a collective and multidimensional approach to enhancing disaster resilience.

Sep 14th 2024, 08:55

Abstract
Background and Aims
Medical staff have experienced anxiety, sleep disturbances, and suicide due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Thus, this study examined the relationship between corona disease anxiety, sleep problems, and suicidal ideation in medical staff and how resiliency and cognitive flexibility mediate it.
Methods
This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study examined medical staff. In 2022, participants were affiliated with Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Iran educational and treatment centers. Sampling was done at primary COVID-19 treatment centers. Data was collected using validated instruments. Ethics were observed during data collecting.
Results
Path analysis was employed to test hypotheses. Analysis showed significant positive relationships between Corona disease anxiety and sleep disturbances (p = 0.001, β = 0.438) and suicidal ideation (p = 0.001, β = 0.310). Conversely, negative and significant associations were identified between resiliency and cognitive flexibility with sleep disturbances and suicidal ideation.
Conclusions
The study illustrates how medical staff’s psychological health is linked to COVID-19. High Corona disease anxiety causes sleep disturbances and suicidal thoughts. Resilience and cognitive flexibility modulated Corona disease anxiety, sleep problems, and suicidal thoughts. The comprehensive study focuses on medical staff mental health issues, suggesting targeted solutions.

Sep 14th 2024, 08:22

Young says that’s an aim of the rules. “You can expect to see higher payment rates that may make it more attractive for providers to come in-network,” Young says, meaning therapists should be getting paid more for insurance-covered visits. “You can also expect to see insurers investing in networks for providers other than physicians,” Young says. That means insurance might cover more mental health providers than they did before, such as non-MD therapists, social workers, or telehealth services.

Sep 14th 2024, 07:52

Abstract
Recent national and international events have shone a spotlight on structural inequalities and institutionalised racism, igniting a contemporary struggle for equality and evoking the UK systemic community to affirm its commitment to social justice and anti-racism. This article sets the scene by examining how systemic theory and research have historically addressed racial inequality and cross-cultural practice, before describing a small but pioneering qualitative study which explored the practice of cultural sensitivity via in-depth interviews with five experienced systemic psychotherapists in Northern Ireland (NI). While confirming some similarities with other UK regions, tentative but important nuanced differences emerged in the NI context given its protracted history of sectarian division, political conflict, and more limited immigration. Self-imposed ‘silence’ with regard to one’s own religious/cultural identity in the context of the NI political conflict emerged as a key theme, alongside therapist under-explored Whiteness; theoretical paradoxes influencing therapist reticence; and perceived therapeutic benefits of exploring cultural differences and lived experience of racism. Study limitations and implications are discussed, identifying the need for further research and renewed efforts (in theory, training, and practice) to assist therapists to break the ‘culture of silence’ in their local sociopolitical context and address wider social inequities.

Sep 14th 2024, 05:56

Objectives
Studies usually investigate a limited number or a predefined combinations of risk factors for sickness absence in employees with pain. We examined frequently occurring combinations across a wide range of work-related factors and pain perceptions.
Design
Cross-sectional study.
Setting
Belgian companies that are under supervision of IDEWE, an external service for prevention and protection at work.
Participants
In total, 249 employees experiencing pain for at least 6 weeks were included and filled out an online survey.
Outcomes
Latent profile analysis was used to differentiate profiles of work-related factors (physical demands, workload, social support and autonomy) and pain perceptions (catastrophising, fear-avoidance beliefs and pain acceptance). Subsequently, profiles were compared on sociodemographics (age, gender, level of education, work arrangement, duration of complaints, multisite pain and sickness absence in the previous year) and predictors of sickness absence (behavioural intention and perceived behavioural control).
Results
Four profiles were identified. Profile 1 (38.2%) had favourable scores and profile 4 (14.9%) unfavourable scores across all indicators. Profile 2 (33.3%) had relatively high physical demands, moderate autonomy levels and favourable scores on the other indicators. Profile 3 (13.7%) showed relatively low physical demands, moderate autonomy levels, but unfavourable scores on the other indicators. Predictors of profiles were age (OR 0.93 and 95% CI (0.89 to 0.98)), level of education (OR 0.28 and 95% CI (0.1 to 0.79)) and duration of sickness absence in the previous year (OR 2.29 and 95% CI (0.89 to 5.88)). Significant differences were observed in behavioural intention (2=8.92, p=0.030) and perceived behavioural control (2=12.37, p=0.006) across the four profiles.
Conclusion
This study highlights the significance of considering the interplay between work-related factors and pain perceptions in employees. Unfavourable scores on a single work factor might not translate into maladaptive pain perceptions or subsequent sickness absence, if mitigating factors are in place. Special attention must be devoted to employees dealing with unfavourable working conditions along with maladaptive pain perceptions. In this context, social support emerges as an important factor influencing sickness absence.
