Abstract

Perinatal mental health problems are a common experience for women and their families, and are associated with a significant and enduring burden of illness for the mother and her infant. Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Services have recently been established in Ireland following the publication of a model of care in 2017. At the time of conducting this research programme, Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Services in Ireland were operational, but a Mother and Baby Unit had yet to be established as part of these services. This research programme reports on two independent research studies which sought to contribute to the development of the Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Services in Ireland, and the wider evidence base on perinatal mental health services. Study one outlines an updated systematic review on the outcomes of Mother and Baby Units. Twenty-two papers were included in the final review. Findings indicate that admission to a Mother and Baby Unit benefits maternal mental health, the mother-infant relationship and infant health and development, further supporting the rationale for the provision of Mother and Baby Unit services in Ireland. Study two outlines a qualitative study exploring the relevance of an attachment informed model of mental health service design and delivery to Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Services in Ireland. Fourteen perinatal mental health professionals participated in semi-structured interviews in the study. Findings of this study indicated that the practices of perinatal mental health professionals and the service delivery procedures were in line with an attachment informed model of mental health service delivery and design, supporting the appropriateness of attachment informed service delivery and design in meeting the needs of this population. The findings from these studies have important implications for the provision of perinatal mental health services in Ireland, including demonstrating the evidence for services which respond to the needs of both the mother and infant during this vulnerable period in their lives.

3. Utility of an abbreviated version of the stanford‐binet intelligence scales (5th ed.) in estimating ‘full scale’ IQ for young children with autism spectrum disorder.

Abstract

The fifth edition of the Stanford‐Binet Intelligence scales allows ‘full scale’ IQ (FSIQ) to be estimated using an abridged version of the test—the abbreviated battery IQ (ABIQ). Set within a public early intervention team service, the current cross‐sectional study investigated the utility of the ABIQ in estimating FSIQ for 40 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged 3–5 years. A strong ABIQ‐FSIQ association was yielded (r = 0.89; r2 = 0.808) and the ABIQ did not over‐estimate mean FSIQ above a clinically‐relevant threshold; however, clinically significant over‐estimation occurred in 17.5% of individual cases. While the findings provide support for the utility of the ABIQ in estimating FSIQ for young children with ASD, caution relating to the over‐estimation of FSIQ is warranted. Careful clinical judgment–ideally based on examination of previous cognitive assessment results (if available), thorough interactional observations, and close multi‐disciplinary consultation—is necessary to determine the applicability of the ABIQ to individual cases.

Lay Summary: We investigated the utility of a shortened version of the Stanford‐Binet Intelligence Scales in estimating IQ for 40 young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The findings provide qualified support for the instrument: acceptably accurate IQ estimation was achieved for most cases; but not so for a sizeable minority (17.5%). Careful clinical judgment is necessary to determine the applicability of the ABIQ to individual cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The fifth edition of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence scales allows 'full scale' IQ (FSIQ) to be estimated using an abridged version of the test-the abbreviated battery IQ (ABIQ).

A strong ABIQ-FSIQ association was yielded (r = 0.89; r 2  = 0.808) and the ABIQ did not over-estimate mean FSIQ above a clinically-relevant threshold; however, clinically significant over-estimation occurred in 17.5% of individual cases. While the findings provide support for the utility of the ABIQ in estimating FSIQ for young children with ASD, caution relating to the over-estimation of FSIQ is warranted.
