Psychosocial impact of structured transfer of adolescents with kidney transplants to adult services: An interventional national cohort study.

Pediatric kidney transplantation entails a well-timed transition from pediatric to adult medical care. We aimed to construct a structured transition protocol and evaluate its impact on transfer-related psychosocial problems in Slovenian patients with kidney transplants. Individual transition-related perceptions of our patients and their parents were first assessed, and the gathered information was used to establish a country-specific transition protocol. Eleven kidney transplant patients qualified for actual transfer and were considered for further analysis. Comprehension and attitude towards transfer, coping strategies, personality resilience, behavioral, and emotional problems were assessed using questionnaires and established psychological tools before and after the completed transfer. The results were compared and analyzed. Ten of the eleven eligible patients were transferred to adult services between April 2020 and January 2021. The median age at enrollment was 19.7 years (range: 18.2-22.8 years). The most frequent concerns regarding upcoming health care were worse accessibility (50%), less supportive and less committed healthcare providers (40%), and deterioration of medical condition (10.0%). After the completed protocol-guided transfer, the patients declared to have no further concerns or worries. Before transfer, 28.9% of the patients' responses rated the amount and relevance of received information and counseling as "Adequate" or "Very adequate," whereas, after the transfer, the proportion of positive responses increased to 48.9%. Anxiety and withdrawn depressive symptoms were the predominant emotional problems before transfer. Their prevalence decreased after the completed transfer. Our results suggest that transfer-related anxieties and concerns can be significantly reduced by applying a structured transition protocol in transplant patients.

737 Recording and Evaluating Affect and Coping During COVID19 in Healthcare-Workers and Outcomes (REACCH-Out): Mental Health Implications for Our Junior Doctor Cohort

Abstract The announcement of the COVID19 pandemic has had a huge impact on surgical practice in the UK. Many surgical trainees were redeployed to areas within the hospital to provide additional cover during the pandemic. Providing adequate wellbeing and support to trainees is imperative during this time of hardship. 18 plastic surgery junior doctors were redeployed to either intensive care units, emergency departments or medical wards during the period of study. A mixed methods survey was completed by trainees exploring rates of anxiety, depression and coping during the first peak of the pandemic. A “COVID care package” was provided to support surgical junior doctors. The average anxiety score for trainees exceeded that regarded as ‘normal’ as predicted by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. SHOs were found to show higher scores of anxieties and depression throughout the course of study as compared to their registrar counterparts. 43.8% of junior doctors reported greater levels of stress since the announcement of the pandemic. 81% of junior doctors preferred to have regular check-ins with work colleagues during difficult times. Providing a strong support system for trainees is vital to ensure doctors are not overwhelmed at this volatile time in their careers. The use of psychological monitoring tools to guide the implementation of appropriate levels of support for individuals could aid in enhanced junior doctor wellbeing and support. Feedback suggests that surgical trainees agree that contact with their parent team and colleagues has a positive impact on their wellbeing and prefer these regular “check-ins” to occur on a monthly basis.

Factors associated with long term work incapacity following a non-catastrophic road traffic injury: analysis of a two-year prospective cohort study

BackgroundRoad traffic injuries (RTIs), primarily musculoskeletal in nature, are the leading cause of unintentional injury worldwide, incurring significant individual and societal burden. Investigation of a large representative cohort is needed to validate early identifiable predictors of long-term work incapacity post-RTI. Therefore, up until two years post-RTI we aimed to: evaluate absolute occurrence of return-to-work (RTW) and occurrence by injury compensation claimant status; evaluate early factors (e.g., biopsychosocial and injury-related) that influence RTW longitudinally; and identify factors potentially modifiable with intervention (e.g., psychological distress and pain).MethodsProspective cohort study of 2019 adult participants, recruited within 28 days of a non-catastrophic RTI, predominantly of mild-to-moderate severity, in New South Wales, Australia. Biopsychosocial, injury, and compensation data were collected via telephone interview within one-month of injury (baseline). Work status was self-reported at baseline, 6-, 12-, and 24-months. Analyses were restricted to participants who reported paid work pre-injury (N = 1533). Type-3 global p-values were used to evaluate explanatory factors for returning to ‘any’ or ‘full duties’ paid work across factor subcategories. Modified Poisson regression modelling was used to evaluate factors associated with RTW with adjustment for potential covariates.ResultsOnly ~ 30% of people with RTI returned to full work duties within one-month post-injury, but the majority (76.7%) resumed full duties by 6-months. A significant portion of participants were working with modified duties (~ 10%) or not working at all (~ 10%) at 6-, 12-, and 24-months. Female sex, low education, low income, physically demanding occupations, pre-injury comorbidities, and high injury severity were negatively associated with RTW. Claiming injury compensation in the fault-based scheme operating at the time, and early identified post-injury pain and psychological distress, were key factors negatively associated with RTW up until two years post-injury.ConclusionsLong-term work incapacity was observed in 20% of people following RTI. Our findings have implications that suggest review of the design of injury compensation schemes and processes, early identification of those at risk of delayed RTW using validated pain and psychological health assessment tools, and improved interventions to address risks, may facilitate sustainable RTW.Trial registrationThis study was registered prospectively with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12613000889752).

Conspiracy theories in online deliberation on gender identity legislation: Dilemmas of prejudice and political partisanship and implications for LGBTQI+ claims

Conspiracy theories have recently come under the scrutiny of social psychology. While some theorists have treated them as a deficient way of thinking, others have considered them as a form of political rhetoric with important social implications. We focus on conspiracy theories in the context of online public deliberation on legislation allowing registration of self-defined gender in Greece. Employing the tools of Critical Discursive Psychology, we analyse comments posted on the Ministry of Justice's website created for public consultation about the law change. We focus on the mobilization of conspiracy theories by people who oppose Law 4491/2017 (“Legal Recognition of Gender Identity – National Mechanism for the Development, Monitoring and Evaluation of Action Plans on Children's Rights and Other Provisions”). These commentators often argued that powerful groups are behind the proposed legislation, aiming at decreasing Earth's population, disrupting moral order, and violating humanness. We demonstrate how these constructions helped participants to perform various tasks, such as delegitimizing the legislation while at the same time avoiding the stigma of prejudice, promoting far-right political practices, and rebutting accusations of political partisanship. The results are discussed in relation to conspiracy theories’ role in countering “gender ideology” and in promoting cisgenderism and heteronormativity.

Assessing Factors Influencing Technology Adoption for Online Purchasing Amid COVID-19 in Qatar: Moderating Role of Word of Mouth

The COVID-19 pandemic developed new challenges for global consumers. In response to this disaster, digital technology users have faced the necessity to adopt and use specific technology apps for online shopping. This article examines how contingencies disrupt existing theoretical models and their implications for the post-COVID-19 era for online purchases. Customers prefer apps to use on the websites for search and purchase amid the COVID-19 crisis. The websites offer competitive advantages to apps for branding and CRM prospects. This motive keeps customers happy and satisfied with the website offers. This study focuses on consumer electronics and observes the comparative influence of fundamental elements (i.e., hedonic motivation, habits, perceived risk, technological trust, and technological awareness) on purchasing customer satisfaction. The study further examines the impact of customer satisfaction with online purchases with website continuance intention (WCI). Notably, this study explores the moderating effect of word-of-mouth (WOM) on the relationship between customer satisfaction with online purchases and website continuance intention. This study designed a web-based survey and recruited frequent visitors including international and citizens of Qatar for data collection. The study employed a purposive sampling technique and used three standardized psychological tools to obtain the data set needed to measure customer satisfaction with online purchases. The survey used a web link, distributed 600 questionnaires via email and social media, and received only 468 responses. After screening, only 455 were valid responses. The study showed a response rate of 75.83%. The study results showed that hedonic motivation, habits, perceived risk, and technological awareness were positively related to customer satisfaction with online purchasing. Besides, customer satisfaction with subsequent online purchases is also positively associated with website continuance intention (WCI). The results revealed that this relationship remained stronger when word-of-mouth (WOM) was higher. Hence, this shows that online shopping is seen as a vital and interesting activity in the Qatari context. The findings provide useful insights for future studies to explore the effects of COVID-19 on online purchase intentions.

Русский перевод BRIEF2 непропорционально отмечает русскоговорящих людей с опытом и без опыта институционализации по шкалам валидности

<p>The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) is a commonly used tool for researchers and clinicians to assess executive functioning, especially in individuals with learning or other developmental disorders. Although it has been translated and used in multiple countries, the BRIEF has only been officially normed by its manufacturers in U.S. samples. In order to further the ideal of cultural sensitivity in psychological testing and examine whether the BRIEF functions appropriately in Russia and in its distinct subpopulations (e.g., individuals with an early history of adversity), we assessed the performance of its built-in validity scales by administering the BRIEF2 Self-Report Form to a Russian sample (n=572) either raised in biological families (n=315) or with a history of institutionalized care (n=257). Results indicate that, compared to U.S. norms, a large number of this sample was flagged for inconsistent or abnormal answers on the BRIEF2 validity scales. This finding highlights the importance of validity checks when psychological tools are used in new cultures, languages, and samples. Results point to a need for fine-tuning of the BRIEF2 Self-Report Form and/or its scoring system before widespread adaptation among Russian clinicians and researchers.</p>

Gamification as a psychological tool for the development of the feeling of adult-hood markers in adolescents

Adolescence is a difficult period in a person’s life, in which a sense of adulthood manifests itself in a special way, affecting the relationship with other people and expressing a new life position of a teenager. The authors identify the level of claims; self-attitude; responsibility; locus of control; communicaton; creativity, critical thinking and mobility as markers of the feeling of adulthood. The most productive “technology” for developing a sense of adulthood in adolescents is the game. The authors consider the inclusion of gamification as a psychological tool in the process of interacting with teenagers, which allows the latter to reveal themselves more effectively and develop a sense of adulthood. The games in the corresponding program, based on the principles of a systemic approach, anthropological realism, the consideration of age-related features, are grouped into several blocks, each of which is aimed at developing a certain marker of a sense of adulthood. Gamification as a modern “reading” of the game expands the scope of its application in the future, and the data obtained can become a practical basis for working on new author’s psychological games for the development of various human skills.

Antecedents and Consequences of Grit Among Working Adults: A Transpersonal Psychology Perspective.

Positive psychology has paved the way for newer and more informed ideas of living a meaningful, integrated and well-rounded quality of living. The current era of the pandemic has also moulded the ways in which individuals perceive their quality of life and how they want to integrate a holistic approach towards their well-being. The workplace settings have seen tremendous changes in terms of how employers, employees and the organisations at large function and operate. The pre-pandemic concept of success has shifted its focus from hard work to developing grit among employees to increase the overall efficiency of the organisations. Grit has revolutionised the conventional standards of success, meaning in life and has impacted personal as well as occupational welfare. This integration of positive psychology and transpersonal psychology has catalysed the purpose for the current study. To help organisations and individuals thrive in their professional endeavours at the workplace and to provide them with relevant psychological tools to enhance their occupational growth, the present study has been conducted empirically to investigate the antecedents and consequences of grit among 209 working professionals in India. The results of this study indicate that the transpersonal capital of metacognition, flow, optimism and empathy have a significant role to play in developing grit among the participants. The findings have implications for enhancing job satisfaction and job performance of participants. The current research also provides a framework to organisations towards designing interventions for improving efficiency at the workplace.

Towards or not towards? Using the ACT Matrix as a psychological tool in the analysis and interpretation of dramatic texts and characters

ABSTRACT This article addresses key elements of “ACT for Acting”, an ongoing project using the psychological framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy/Training (ACT) to explore the processes of acting and actor training. The article introduces readers to a tool called the ACT Matrix and demonstrates how it can be used to “sort”, understand, and visualize different aspects of human experience and behaviour. It then illustrates the application of this process to a dramatic text through the discussion of a Shakespearean soliloquy: Hamlet’s “To be or not to be”. It is suggested that the ACT Matrix can provide a useful tool for textual analysis and serve as the foundation for new approaches to dramatic action and character that are grounded in twenty-first century understandings of human behaviour and psychology.

ХОЛОДНОЕ ОРУЖИЕ КАЗАЧЬИХ ВОЙСК ВО 2-Й ПОЛОВИНЕ XIX — НАЧАЛЕ XX В.

The article is devoted to the history of the Cossacks and, in particular, the history of cold weapons of Cossack units in the second half of the XIX–XX centuries. The evolution of the main types of cold weapons with which the Cossacks were armed during the period under review is considered. In particular, the analysis of changes in the main type of cold weapons of the Cossacks — sabers (checkers) in 1834–1909. under the influence of changes in the nature of hostilities, the emergence of new materials, economic and psychological factors. Regional specifics in arming Cossacks with long- bladed weapons of different Cossack troops are considered. Considerable attention in the article is paid to a specific type of Cossack cold weapon – a dagger. The article, in particular, examines the daggers of the Caucasian Cossack troops, as well as the regular knife of the Trans-Baikal Cossacks, as well as the dagger borrowed from the local indigenous peoples of the region. Special attention is paid in the article to the study of the pole weapons of the Cossacks — the pike. Despite the obvious archaism of this weapon, it also underwent significant changes during the period under review, reaching a peak in its development both in the material of the shaft — a thin-walled metal tube, and in optimizing the shape of the tip. The article also examines an interesting phenomenon of the beginning of the XX century as a ceremonial Cossack weapon of archaic form — the so-called fangs, which the author perceives as a kind of psychological influence tool designed to raise the morale of the Cossack officers. The article provides accurate information about the size, shape and weight of the Cossacks' cold weapons, as well as brief information about the methods of their use in army units.

The Function of Occupational Activity for Health as Perceived by Chronically Ill People.

Existing studies confirm the benefits of employment for chronically ill persons’ health, but few studies so far have delved into how they themselves perceive employment in relation to their health. There is also a paucity of information about individual factors influencing the formation of their perceptions. This study sought to determine differences between chronically ill persons with and without jobs regarding their perceptions of the function of employment for the physical, mental and social dimensions of health, as well as how their occupational activity or inactivity moderates the associations between the perception of work as health beneficial or health adverse and selected individual characteristics, such as self-efficacy, acceptance of illness, actualisation of self, and psychosocial problems. The study involved 80 adults with chronic illnesses and was conducted using the following psychological tools: the WH Scale, the Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, the Acceptance of Illness Scale, the Actualization of Self Scale and the Psychosocial Problems of Persons with Chronic Illness Scale. It has been found that the way in which chronically ill persons perceive the function of employment for health is unrelated to whether or not they have a job, and that occupational activity moderates associations between the sense of self-efficacy and the perception of work as benefitting health.

Personal statement versus psychological test as admission to the nursing degree: an evaluation

BackgroundA review of admissions to nursing in Northern Ireland was prompted by the growing number of applications and a desire to ensure that the applicants had the right values for a career in nursing. Concerns regarding authorship, plagiarism and reliability of personal statements used to select applicants to interview was the focus of this research. This study evaluates the psychometric properties of a Personal Statement (PS) as a method for admission to a nursing programme and a values-based psychological screening tool, Nurse Match (NM).MethodsA self-selecting, purposive sample (n = 228; 9.7%) was drawn from applicants to Schools of Nursing in the United Kingdom (n = 2350). Participants all of whom had completed a Personal Statement were asked to complete a psychological tool and the scoring outcomes and psychometric properties of both tests were investigated. Statistical analysis was conducted using Minitab 17.ResultsApplicants from 18 schools and five colleges responded. The majority (72.4%) were aged 18–19. Findings provide practical, theoretical, statistical, and qualitative reasons for concluding that the Personal Statement has substantial limitations as a measure of suitability. It does not compare well with international test standards for psychometric tests. In contrast, NM is a valid and reliable measure with good discriminatory power, standardised administration and consistent marking.ConclusionNM is a viable alternative to the PS for shortlisting applicants for nursing interviews.

Psychological and psychosocial aspects of major trauma care in the United Kingdom: A scoping review of primary research

Introduction More people are surviving major trauma, often with life changing injuries. Alongside physical injury, many survivors of major trauma experience psychological and psychosocial impacts. Presently, there is little guidance at the UK national level for psychological and psychosocial aspects of major trauma care. Set in the context of the regional model of major trauma care implemented in the UK in 2012, the purpose of this review was to identify and bring together primary research about psychological and psychosocial aspects of major trauma care in the UK to produce an overview of the field to date, identify knowledge gaps and set research priorities. Methods A scoping review was undertaken. Seven electronic databases (MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, SocINDEX with Full Text and PROSPERO) were searched alongside a targeted grey literature search. Data from included studies were extracted using a predefined extraction form and underwent bibliometric analysis. Included studies were then grouped by type of research, summarised, and synthesised to produce a descriptive summary and overview of the field. Results The searches identified 5,975 articles. Following screening, 43 primary research studies were included in the scoping review. The scoping review, along with previous research, illustrates that psychological and psychosocial impacts are to be expected following major trauma. However, it also found that these aspects of care are commonly underserved and that there are inherent inequities across major trauma care pathways in the UK. Conclusion Though the scoping review identified a growing body of research investigating psychological and psychosocial aspects of major trauma care pathways in the UK, significant gaps in the evidence base remain. Research is needed to establish clinically effective psychological and psychosocial assessment tools, corresponding interventions, and patient-centred outcome measures so that survivors of major trauma (and family members or carers) receive the most appropriate care and intervention.

How social support predicts anxiety among university students during COVID-19 control phase: Mediating roles of self-esteem and resilience.

Public health emergency, such as COVID‐19 pandemic, generally has severe impacts on mental health in public. One of the often‐neglected negative consequences is that the control and prevention measures of COVID‐19 in the post‐epidemic can pose psychological threats to public mental health. This study aimed to seek the factors and mechanisms to alleviate this mental health threat based on a sample of university students in China. Accordingly, this study proposed an environmental‐individual interaction model examining the multiple mediating effects of self‐esteem and resilience in the association between social support and anxiety among university students during COVID‐19 control phase. A questionnaire containing multiple scales were administered on the sample of 2734 Chinese university students. Results indicated that social support negatively predicted anxiety through the serial mediating effects of self‐esteem and resilience sequentially. Our results highlight the impact of social support and the internal factors on relieving anxiety among university students in COVID‐19 control phase. Findings suggest that effective psychological intervention tools should be designed and offered to college students to reduce anxiety distress and improve mental health in the post‐epidemic era or the similar situations in the future.

Psychological dynamics of generalized anxiety disorder in early adult

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is an anxiety disorder that interferes with social, work, and other bodily functions. This disorder usually appears in mid-teens to mid-twenties, with a higher percentage of women. There are several causes for the emergence of GAD, such as biological, psychological, and social factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the psychological dynamics of patients with GAD. The participant is a 24-year-old woman who is indicated to have GAD. The method used in this research is qualitative with a case study approach. Research participants were selected using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using interviews, observations, and psychological test tools, including Graphic tests (WZT, HTP, BAUM, and DAP), DASS tests, and MCMI-IV. The results showed that the appearance of GAD symptoms experienced by participants could not be separated from the dependent personality type, who tended to be perfectionists, and difficulties in emotional regulation, sibling rivalry, as well as authoritarian and permissive-demanding parenting patterns. The stresses of life also contribute to the symptoms of GAD

Optimized Learning Strategy Towards Research-LED Teaching Curriculum Development

Leadership Education Development (LED) teaching results in criticism and debate in the learning atmosphere for students. The significant challenges in LED are analyzing how research can successfully be applied to benefit the students’ teaching, the political essence of education, identifying education research as a science, and the dislocation between educational research and education practice. Teaching and research are two critical ties to tertiary education programs. Two psychological tools have been built from archived research data and show how this form of reuse allows pedagogue to directly link research and teaching. This manuscript proposed an Optimized Learning Strategy (OLS) to improve curriculum development. OLS provides strategies for learning that increase learning ability, learning experience, boost understanding, and connect with previous knowledge of new information. This paper presents the real practice of the development of LED teaching programming. Finally, the results show the students highly recommended OLS based on case study analysis to measure teaching and learning methods.
