Abstract

This study examined the stability of psychological well-being in people who have experienced a neurological event resulting in focal brain damage. Evidence suggests that psychological well-being is largely stable in healthy adult populations. However, whether such stability exists in neurological patients with acquired brain lesions is an open question. Given the trait-like characteristics of psychological well-being, we hypothesized that psychological well-being would be stable in neurological patients who are in the chronic epoch of recovery (≥3 months after the neurological event). Eighty participants (women = 40; age: M = 56, standard deviation (SD) = 13) completed the Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-Being (PWBS) twice between 2016 and 2020 (Time 1 [T1] and Time 2 [T2]). The Ryff Scales measure various facets of well-being, including autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance. Approximately half of participants completed their T2 assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating an opportunity to investigate the effects of the pandemic on the stability of psychological well-being in a neurological population that may be particularly vulnerable to reduced well-being in this context. Pearson correlations and within-sample t tests were conducted to examine the stability of self-reported well-being over time. Test–retest correlations ranged from.71 to.87, and no significant differences in well-being emerged across the two time points. Significant correlations between T1 and T2 were also evident in the subsample of participants who completed their second assessment during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings provide evidence that long-term psychological well-being is remarkably reliable and consistent over time in patients who have experienced a major neurological event, even when an unprecedented global event occurred between measurement epochs. Treatment implications of these findings are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: The HOME BP (Home and Online Management and Evaluation of Blood Pressure) trial aimed to test a digital intervention for hypertension management in primary care by combining self-monitoring of blood pressure with guided self-management. Design: Unmasked randomised controlled trial with automated ascertainment of primary endpoint. Setting: 76 general practices in the United Kingdom. Participants: 622 people with treated but poorly controlled hypertension (>140/90 mm Hg) and access to the internet. Interventions: Participants were randomised by using a minimisation algorithm to self-monitoring of blood pressure with a digital intervention (305 participants) or usual care (routine hypertension care, with appointments and drug changes made at the discretion of the general practitioner; 317 participants). The digital intervention provided feedback of blood pressure results to patients and professionals with optional lifestyle advice and motivational support. Target blood pressure for hypertension, diabetes, and people aged 80 or older followed UK national guidelines. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome was the difference in systolic blood pressure (mean of second and third readings) after one year, adjusted for baseline blood pressure, blood pressure target, age, and practice, with multiple imputation for missing values. Results: After one year, data were available from 552 participants (88.6%) with imputation for the remaining 70 participants (11.4%). Mean blood pressure dropped from 151.7/86.4 to 138.4/80.2 mm Hg in the intervention group and from 151.6/85.3 to 141.8/79.8 mm Hg in the usual care group, giving a mean difference in systolic blood pressure of −3.4 mm Hg (95% confidence interval −6.1 to −0.8 mm Hg) and a mean difference in diastolic blood pressure of −0.5 mm Hg (−1.9 to 0.9 mm Hg). Results were comparable in the complete case analysis and adverse effects were similar between groups. Within trial costs showed an incremental cost effectiveness ratio of £11 ($15, €12; 95% confidence interval £6 to £29) per mm Hg reduction. Conclusions: The HOME BP digital intervention for the management of hypertension by using self-monitored blood pressure led to better control of systolic blood pressure after one year than usual care, with low incremental costs. Implementation in primary care will require integration into clinical workflows and consideration of people who are digitally excluded. Trial registration: ISRCTN13790648.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine if autogenic relaxation training facilitated through biofeedback promotes an increase in internal levels of locus of control. The participants were residents of two Southwest Missouri alcohol treatment centers and ranged in age from 18 to 21 years. Treatment and control groups were compared on their responses on the Drinking Related Locus of Control Scale (DRIE) and fingertip temperature pre- and posttraining. The training was effective in teaching autogenic relaxation as demonstrated by increased fingertip temperature for the treatment group posttraining, while no differences were observed for the control group. Most importantly, the treatment group was not only significantly more internal in their locus of control after training but were also significantly more internal than the control group posttraining. Given that alcoholics are significantly more external in their locus of control than nonalcoholics, and that an internal locus of control implies an individual's belief that he or she has control and is responsible for his or her behavior, autogenic relaxation facilitated through biofeedback may be a very important component in therapeutic intervention for adolescent alcoholics. Keywords - locus of control; substance abuse; relaxation; alcoholism.

8. The law and information processing: implications for verdicts in rape cases

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of focus of attention (victim vs. defendant) and the ability to recommend a sentence in addition to rendering a verdict versus rendering only a verdict on judgments in a rape case. Support was found for the hypothesis that participants would more often find the defendant guilty, and would be more confident in their guilty verdict when a sentence could be recommended in addition to the verdict, compared to those who only recommended a verdict. This pattern was especially prominent for females. This finding is discussed in terms of the standard of reasonable doubt that mock jurors may impose on their verdict decision. Interactions between the independent variables suggest that these factors may prompt mock jurors to selectively attend to particular types of information at particular times.

30. An exploration of issues that might surround and affect young women's eating behaviours : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Nursing at Massey University

Author

Allison, Julie E and Allison, Julie E

Abstract

Body size issues are particularly problematic for young females and their receptivity to nutritional information is different from other groups. Adolescence is a unique period of development both socially and emotionally. It is often an age of great stress for girls who may increasingly rely on comparisons with others to evaluate their image and their general opinions of themselves. Appearance is often the main motivator for young people to modify their diet. The incidence of obesity and eating disorders reflects the reality that current healthcare practices are perhaps not effective. The purpose of this study was to explore the issues that might surround and affect the eating behaviours of young women. This research aimed to provide health professionals with a greater understanding of how food choices and eating patterns of young females are influenced. The results of the research will contribute to raising awareness and understanding of the issues young women have about the relationship of food to body image. A qualitative study was undertaken using a feminist approach. Through the use of personal journals as a form of data collection, this research gave a group of young women the opportunity to illuminate their own experiences. The use of journals is new in this area, however it proved to be effective for this age group of 14-16 year olds. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings from this study demonstrate that current constructions of femininities within western culture require young women to focus on their body appearance, and the cultural fixation on the thin 'ideal' feminine body is causing considerable pressure for many young women. The ideal body is one that many women cannot achieve despite a great deal of effort. However, nurses and other health professionals support and promote notions that suggest a slim body can be achieved through individual hard work and effort. Idealistic notions state that a young women's body must be thin in or

43. Out of sight – out of mind? Elderly patients with diabetes in nursing homes

Author

Sherriff, Pamela, Allison, Julie, Large, David M., Quinn, Carol, Routledge, Alison, Hall, Elaine, Broughton, David L., and Kelly, William F.

Abstract

We found a high prevalence (7.4–9.3%) of diabetes in elderly residents (mean age 82 years for women, 77 years for men) in nursing homes. Most of these patients were unable to manage their diabetes. Many of the patients (37% in one district) were not recorded in the district register. Recording of eye, foot and blood pressure checks varied. Carers were in need of information and education about diabetes care. Care of elderly patients in nursing homes should be structured, with close liaison between all carers. There are unmet needs and problems in communication. Closer co-operation is needed between carers in homes and doctors and nurses in primary and secondary care. In districts where diabetes remains under-resourced, this will provide challenges for innovative work. A district-wide register of patients with diabetes will facilitate the provision of structured care for a substantial number of elderly patients with diabetes who are literally ‘out of sight-and out of mind’.

Abstract

The article discusses a book "Missing Still," by Angela M. Wilson and Julie A. Allison. In the summer of 1993, a young and radiant college student by the name of Stephanie Rene Schmidt was brutally raped and murdered in a midwestern college town. She had turned 20 years old 2 days before she was killed. "Missing Still" is a book created to honor the memory of Stephanie, to celebrate her life, and to grieve her death. It includes pictures of Stephanie with family and friends throughout her life. It shares Stephanie's own words, and, through their stories, it expresses the collective grief of those who were touched by the life and death of Stephanie, whether they knew her well or never knew her at all. "Missing Still" speaks to the tremendous impact that one person can have on the lives of others, perhaps without ever even realizing it. It also demonstrates how the life and death of a person can affect others in so many different ways. Books such as "Missing Still" can be used by counselors as a form of bibliotherapy for clients experiencing loss.
