Full textAbstract:
Il concetto di mindfulness, o presenza mentale, ha assunto gradatamente un ruolo fondamentale nel creare un ponte tra la tradizione buddista e la psicologia occidentale tradizionale. Nella prima parte del presente lavoro passeremo in rassegna la letteratura relativa alla mindfulness. Partendo dalla delineazione delle sue origini orientali, riprenderemo le principali definizioni di mindfulness e le sue operazionalizzazioni come costrutto multidimensionale. In seguito si passerà in rassegna la letteratura relativa alla relazione tra la mindfulness e costrutti psicologici affini, allo scopo di determinarne con maggiore chiarezza i confini e le eventuali sovrapposizioni concettuali. Infine tratteremo delle pratiche capaci di promuovere la mindfulness. Nella seconda parte saranno illustrati i risultati di una serie di studi che abbiamo condotto nel tentativo di dare risposta ad alcuni degli interrogativi relativi al costrutto di mindfulness. Inizieremo presentando i risultati dello studio di validazione italiana del questionario Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (Giovannini et al. 2014). Nel secondo capitolo presenteremo i risultati dell’indagine che abbiamo condotto allo scopo di chiarire il ruolo della mindfulness nella clinica della salute mentale. Successivamente mostreremo gli esiti dello studio effettuato al fine di verificare l’esistenza di un rapporto tra la mindfulness e il costrutto di mentalizzazione. Si vaglieranno, a tal proposito, le tesi di Wallin (2007) ponendo in relazione la prospettiva multifattoriale della mindfulness rilevata nel primo studio, con la componente esplicita della mentalizzazione. Infine saranno presentati gli esiti dello studio di valutazione dell’efficacia di un programma di Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction effettuato attraverso il confronto con un campione di controllo attivo.

A presente pesquisa teórico-prática apresenta uma análise interdisciplinar da poética de obras de performance audiovisual, multimídia e intermídia, com ênfase em como a performatividade e a presença do artista na execução de sua obra estão imbricados na forma do trabalho, cuja composição é permeada por questões relacionadas ao seu dispositivo técnico. Ao abordar situações específicas de obras que imprimem movimento à forma final, a partir das quais consideramos evidenciarse a manifestação da \"mente corporificada\" do criador e inventor como ponto de conexão entre poética e meios empregados para sua execução, chegamos ao princípio das modalidades de presença poética, a partir do qual discutimos as relações entre corporalidade, performatividade e dispositivo técnico. Através de processo laboratorial de instauração de poética de trilogia de performances multimídia intitulado #LiveLivingPerformanceProject chegamos aos pontos teóricos relevantes do trabalho, entre eles os conceitos de mente corporificada (embodied mind), duplo digital (digital double), digital self e audiovisualidade sincrética digital. O projeto artístico multimídia resultante da pesquisa erige-se em um simbolismo transcendental, de livre adaptação e interpretação de arquétipos de mitologias femininas afrobrasileiras e a partir de especificidades da sabedoria dos povos originários, todos relacionados com os elementos da natureza, que serão foco central de instauração de poética do projeto. Calcados nos elementos da natureza, como forças fundantes de personificações simbólicas e psíquicas, demonstraremos como chegamos ao cerne da poética instaurada em #LiveLivingPerformanceProject ao longo do processo de investigação. Ao experimentar variadas interfaces digitais e sistemas audiovisuais, cruzando nossa experiência prática com observação de processos de instauração de trabalhos de performance, formamos nossa análise através da coesão entre processos práticos e operacionalização de conceitos de diferentes campos da filosofia, das artes das imagens em movimento e das performance arts que discutem questões como visibilidade, multimidialidade, intermedialidade, dispositivo técnico, poética, presença e duplo digital.This practice-based thesis introduces an interdisciplinary analysis of the poetics of audiovisual performance, multimedia and intermedia works. Emphasizing on how the performativity and the presence of the artist in the execution of his work are intertwined in the form of the work; whose composition is permeated by issues related to its technical device. When discussing specific work situations that attach movement to the final shape; from which we consider evidencing the manifestation of the creator / inventor\'s \"embodied mind\" as the connection point, between poetic and the means employed for its execution, we come to the principle of presence modalities, from which we discuss the relationship between corporeality, performativity and technical device. By means of a laboratorial process to establish the trilogy of multimedia performance poetics, entitled #LiveLivingPerformanceProject, we come to the theoretical points that are relevant to the work, as embodied mind, digital double, digital self and digital syncretic audiovisuality. The multimedia artwork that results from the research is built in a transcendental symbolism. Of free adaptation and interpretation of the mythology of female African- Brazilian archetypes, as well as influences of the knowledge of native American peoples; all related to the elements of nature, that will be the central focus of the introduction of the poetics of the project. Paved with the elements of nature as the psychic and symbolic personifications founding forces, we will demonstrate how we got to the heart of the poetics, which is established throughout the research process. When experimenting with various digital interfaces and audiovisual systems, crossing our practical experience by observing establishment processes of performance projects, we form our analysis through the cohesion between practical processes, and operational concepts from different fields of philosophy, arts of moving images and performance arts, which discuss issues such as visibility, multimediality, intermediality, technical device, poetics, presence and digital double.

O presente trabalho toma como reflexão a saúde mental com crianças e adolescentes, estabelecendo como ponto de partida experiências vividas pelo autor como psicólogo desta área. Usa a memória e o biográfico como lugar potente para a reflexão historiográfica e um campo de composições entre forças passadas e o presente. Seguindo os rastros da Reforma Psiquiátrica brasileira e seu cenário dos anos 70 e 80, a tese mostra em alguns fragmentos históricos, o nascimento de uma psiquiatrização e psicologização da infância, ao mesmo tempo em que trata infância e loucura como objetos históricos a partir da presença de Michel Foucault e Philippe Àries no cenário da historiografia. Realça o fato de apesar de crianças e jovens terem ficado longe da agenda da Reforma Psiquiátrica brasileira, isto não significou ausência de movimentações sociais nos anos 70/80, trazendo outras cenas de militância para este público. No decorrer do estudo, discute a saúde mental e sua interface com a justiça e a educação, bem como mostra o avanço das teses cerebrais sobre a criança e os adolescentes. Ao final, o autor discute e estabelece uma reflexão dos espaços de intervenção criados no campo da saúde mental infanto-juvenil, a partir das noções de território, dispositivo, rizoma, clínica e política.This paper takes as a reflection on mental health with children and adolescents, establishing as a starting point experiences of the author as a psychologist in the area. Uses memory and biography as potent place for historiography reflection and as a field of compositions between past and present. Following the tracks of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform and its setting of 70 and 80 years, the thesis shows some historical fragments, the birth of a psychiatrization and psychologizing of childhood, at the same time it describes childhood and madness as historical objects from the presence Michel Foucault and Philippe Aries on the stage of history. Highlights the fact that although children and adolescent have stayed away from the agenda of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform, this did not mean the absence of social movements in the years 70/90, bringing other scenes of activism for this audience. During the study, discusses mental health and its interface with the justice and education, and shows the progress of cerebral thesis on children and adolescents. Finally, the author discusses and provides a reflection of the spots where created in the field of mental health for children and youth, from the notions of territory, device, rhizome, practice and politics.

Proctor, Julie. "Auditory hallucinations and the presence of depression in chronic schizophrenia." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2000. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1377.
Full textAbstract:
This exploratory study examined the predictive relationship among the dimensions of auditory hallucinations and the presence of depression in chronic schizophrenia. Forty seven out-patients from the Inner City Community Mental Health Service participated, all of whom had a diagnosis of chronic schizophrenia and reported experiencing auditory hallucinations. The measures included the Calgary Rating Scale fur Schizophrenia, the Auditory Hallucinations Rating Scale, the Beliefs About Voices Questionnaire and three questions relating to insight into auditory hallucinations from the Schedule for the Assessment of Insight-Expanded Edition. Consistent with other reports, the present study found a prevalence of depressive symptoms in over 40% of the sample. All of the dimensions of auditory hallucinations together accounted for 42% of the variance in depression scores but there was no salient individual dimension that could account for a significant proportion of the variance. It was concluded that other factors, not just auditory hallucinations, are likely to have a role in determining the presence of depression in chronic schizophrenia.

The study aimed to analyze the association between exposure to violence and the presence of mental disorder in the population aged 18 or more in the neighborhood of Benedito Bentes, Maceió / Alagoas. Epidemiological population-based study of analytical and cross-section, with a pure probability sample of 872 people in a cluster sampling. Data collection in the period from january 26 to march 2, 2015, with residents interviewed in the referenced households. The sociodemographic questionnaire, the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview and the Instrument Socioeconomic Stratum were used. The ethical aspects are met. Was obtained prior approval from the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Alagoas, opinion n.º 608 613. We used the statistical package IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (S.P.S.S.) for Windows version 17.0, for statistical analysis, with a 95% confidence interval. In the results, 74.9% of respondents were female, 73.7% of blacks, 7.4 years of study average. The violence against children was prevalent in 12.4%, violence in adulthood by 19.6%, witnessing violence in life and 50.5% triple exposure to violence in 4.1%. Violence in childhood and in adulthood occurred mostly in the victim's home. Suffer violence in childhood was associated with lower socioeconomic status. The non-nuclear family structure was a protective factor for violence in childhood, adulthood or triple. Exposure to violence in childhood was associated with most disorders, with five times more likely to panic attack symptoms with limited; sexual violence in childhood was associated with four times the suicide risk of chances. Suffer violence as an adult was associated with a greater number of disorders, with six times more likely to abuse alcohol. Witnessing violence was associated with some of the disorders, with less force in the associations except substance dependence, with six times more likely. The triple exposure to violence was associated with fewer disorders than those who have experienced violence in adulthood; however, the combinations were more intense, thereby indicating whether the dose- response effect. Most outbreaks of violence demonstrated association with risk of suicide. Victims of sexual violence in childhood or adulthood had more than three times as likely to more risk of suicide. The posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been associated with sexual violence in adulthood, with ratio greater chances to eight times; there were no significant associations between sexual violence in childhood and PTSD. Exposure to violence was associated with higher chances of manifestation of disorders and suicide risk. There is a pressing need for early identification of victims of violence to offer appropriate psychosocial support. Violence should be a condition investigated in people with disorders history. Managers and health professionals articulated with other sectors need to discuss in amplified form the interrelationship between violence and mental health field in order to propose convergent interventions to local needs.Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas
O estudo teve por objetivo analisar a associação entre exposição à violência e presença de transtorno mental na população com 18 anos ou mais do bairro Benedito Bentes, Maceió/Alagoas. Estudo epidemiológico de base populacional, com caráter analítico e corte transversal, amostra probabilística simples com 872 pessoas, amostragem por conglomerados. Coleta de dados no período de 26 de janeiro a 2 de março de 2015, com entrevistados residentes nos domicílios referenciados. Foram utilizados o Questionário Sociodemográfico, o Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview e o Instrumento do Estrato Socioeconômico. Os aspectos éticos foram atendidos. Obteve-se aprovação prévia do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal de Alagoas, parecer n.º 608.613. Utilizou-se o pacote estatístico IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (S.P.S.S.) para Windows versão 17.0, para análises estatísticas, com intervalo de confiança de 95%. Nos resultados, 74,9% dos entrevistados são do sexo feminino, 73,7% da raça negra, média de estudo de 7,4 anos. A violência na infância foi prevalente em 12,4%, violência na vida adulta em 19,6%, testemunhar violência na vida em 50,5% e tríplice exposição à violência em 4,1%. A violência na infância bem como na vida adulta ocorreu em sua maioria no domicílio da vítima. Sofrer violência na infância associou-se a estrato socioeconômico mais baixo. A configuração familiar não nuclear foi fator de proteção para a violência na infância, na vida adulta ou tríplice. A exposição à violência na infância esteve associada à maioria dos transtornos, com cinco vezes mais chances para ataque de pânico com sintomas limitados; a violência sexual na infância associou-se a quatro vezes mais de chances de risco de suicídio. Sofrer violência quando adulto associou-se a um maior número de transtornos, com seis vezes mais chances para abuso de álcool. Testemunhar violência associou- se com alguns dos transtornos, com menor força nas associações, exceto dependência de substâncias, com seis vezes mais chances. A tríplice exposição à violência associou-se a um menor número de transtornos em comparação aos que sofreram violência na vida adulta; no entanto, as associações foram mais intensas, evidenciando-se assim o efeito dose-resposta. A maioria das manifestações de violência demonstrou associação com risco de suicídio. As vítimas de violência sexual na infância ou na vida adulta tiveram mais que o triplo de chances a mais para risco de suicídio. O transtorno de estresse pós-traumático (TEPT) esteve associado a sofrer violência sexual na vida adulta, com razão de chances superior a oito vezes; não foram encontradas associações significativas entre sofrer violência sexual na infância e TEPT. A exposição à violência esteve associada a maiores chances de manifestação de transtornos e risco de suicídio. É premente a necessidade de identificação precoce das vítimas de violência com oferta de suporte psicossocial adequado. A violência deve ser uma condição investigada em pessoas com histórico de transtornos. Gestores e profissionais de saúde articulados com outros setores necessitam discutir de maneira ampliada a inter-relação entre violência e o campo da saúde mental, a fim de propor intervenções convergentes com as necessidades locais.

La presente investigación tiene como propósito describir las representaciones mentales de apego en un grupo de mujeres diagnosticadas con un desorden alimenticio. Para ello, se contó con la participación de 30 mujeres entre 18 y 32 años (M = 22.87, D.E = 3.92) que acuden a dos hospitales psiquiátricos. Así, para acceder a sus representaciones de apego, se aplicó el Autocuestionario de los Modelos Internos de las Relaciones de Apego para adultos (CaMir). Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las participantes poseen un apego mayormente inseguro, reportando una baja percepción de apoyo respecto a sus experiencias pasadas y actuales. Además, la mayoría de las participantes evidencian una percepción de mayor preocupación y ansiedad en sus vínculos que de distanciamiento emocional; no obstante, algunas de ellas poseen niveles igualmente elevados en ambas estrategias de apego inseguro. Asimismo, en las escalas relacionadas al apego preocupado y evitativo, las participantes muestran representaciones de apego de sus experiencias de infancia que difieren del ideal teórico de seguridad, más no en sus experiencias con la familia actual. De esta manera, los resultados muestran que la percepción de inseguridad pareciera no reproducirse en la evaluación de sus vínculos actuales.The purpose of this study was to describe the attachment representations in a group of women diagnosed with an eating disorder. For this aim, 30 women aged between 18 and 32 years old (M =22.87, D.E = 3.92) that attended two psychiatric hospitals were assessed. To evaluate their attachment representations, a self report questionnaire of attachment for adults (CaMir) was used. The results showed that the participants have an insecure attachment, reporting a low perception of parental support regarding their past and actual experiences. Moreover, most of the participants show a perception of higher preoccupation and anxiety in their relationships than emotional distance; but some of them have levels equally elevated in both of the insecure attachment strategies. Additionally, in the scales related to the preoccupied and dismissing attachment, the participants show attachment representations of their childhood experiences that differ from the theoretical ideal of security, but not in their experiences with their actual family. In this way, the results show that the perception of insecurity doesn‟t seem to reproduce in the evaluation of their actual bonds.

El objetivo del presente estudio es describir las representaciones maternales en un grupo de 15 madres primerizas de sector socioeconómico bajo que presentan sintomatología depresiva postparto. La edad de las participantes oscila entre los 18 y 32 años (DE= 5.14) y de la de sus bebés entre los 2 y 11 meses (DE= 3.24), siendo el promedio de 21 años y 5.6 meses, respectivamente. Las madres obtuvieron entre 14 y 22 puntos (M= 15.67) en la Escala de Depresión Postparto de Edinburgh. A través de un enfoque cualitativo, se utilizó una entrevista semiestructurada elaborada bajo la teoría de la constelación maternal (Stern, 1997) y las representaciones que conforman la organización de la identidad: el modelo sobre sí misma como madre, el modelo sobre el bebé y el modelo sobre la propia madre.
Los resultados demuestran que si bien las representaciones elaboradas de estos tres modelos se centran en cualidades negativas de sí misma y de los otros, existen aspectos positivos en sus representaciones, aunque no son predominantes. Además, surge la preocupación de no poder ejercer efectivamente el rol de cuidado del bebé, al percibir que no cuentan con una red de apoyo capaz de proveer ayuda instrumental y contención afectiva y al evocar vínculos tempranos caracterizados por el descuido y conflicto.

Markopoulos, Panagiotis. "Mental Health Practitioners Perceptions’ of Presence in a Virtual Reality Therapy Environment for Use for Children Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2018. https://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/2472.
Full textAbstract:
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) think and understand social contexts primarily from a visual stand point. Feelings of being present in their social environment are a key component to their development (Strickland, Marcus, Mesibov, & Hogan, 1996). A virtual reality environment (VRE) can provide a therapeutic setting for children with ASD to learn social skills (Ehrlich & Munger, 2012). In the present research, a pilot study was used to assess the validity of a Second Life VRE developed by the researcher (Markopoulos, 2016b) by comparing the VRE to a real life film by The National Autistic Society (2016) in the United Kingdom. Feedback from the pilot study was used to make revisions to the VRE. The validated virtual reality therapy environment (VRTE) was used in the main research study. Twenty-eight Louisiana mental health practitioners’ perceptions of the VRTE were assessed using two random order conditions. Condition A required participation in the VRTE twice, first using a laptop computer only and then using the laptop with the new 2016 Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD, Oculus VR, LLC, 2016). Condition B required participation in the VRTE twice, first using a laptop with the new 2016 Oculus Rift HMD and then using a Laptop alone. Four out of eight subscales from the Temple Presence Inventory (TPI) (Lombard, Weinstein, & Ditton, 2011) were used to assess practitioners’ perceptions of presence in the VRTE. Results of a repeated-measures MANOVA showed that the order of the conditions were not significantly different. Additionally, participants’ TPI total and subscales scores were significantly higher when using the HMD than when using the Laptop, as well as their likelihood of using the HMD with children diagnosed with ASD than using the Laptop. All of the correlations for participants’ age and experience with technology were insignificant except for the subscale III, engagement was significant for participants’ age.

Full textAbstract:
The negative impact of war on child mental health has been repeatedly documented. Still, the majority of children exposed to ethnic and political violence show no signs of clinical disorder. In Western countries of exile, these findings have prompted a variety of attempts to evaluate refugee children, in the hope of identifying and offering support to those children “at risk”. This study critically examines one such attempt. The aims are fourfold: 1. to describe the range and pattern of child trauma-stress exposure and mental health reactions as captured on clinician semi-structured interview; 2. to critically compare clinician assessment with independent parent, child and teacher reports; 3. to identify factors of potential risk or protective import for child mental health; 4. to draw clinical implications: from whom and by what means can children at risk be reasonably identified? The target of our study was the entire population of Bosnian-Serbian-Croatian speaking child refugee families assigned to Umeå and surrounding municipalities during 1994-95. Fifty families, containing 90 children aged one month to 20 years, were included in the study. Assessment occurred in two phases. First, a semi-structured interview was conducted that inquired broadly as to the child’s family background, trauma-stress exposure, emotional-behavioral problems, patterns of family functioning, and future hopes. Second, standardized self-report questionnaires were administered, separately to parent and child, to provide alternative appraisal of the child’s war exposure, mental health symptoms, coping strategies, and social network. Teacher evaluation of child cognitive-social functioning as well as emotional-behavioral problems was also obtained. Clinician semi-structured interview revealed the child’s pre-war period as preponderantly good, and provided richly detailed narratives of child exposure during war and resettlement that clustered into a limited number of type-stories. Independent parent assessment captured the same broad strokes of child war exposure; but both approaches – fixed questionnaire and semi-structured interview – showed specific areas of blindness. Teenage self-report offered a disparate but equally rich account of war exposure, while that of primary school child was significantly less detailed. Nearly half of the study children (48%) were identified on clinician interview with one or more mental health problem “demanding further attention”. Depressiveness was the single most prevalent symptom (31%), followed by posttraumatic reactions (23%) and anxiety-regressiveness (15%). Independent symptom appraisal by parent and primary school child was largely concordant with that of clinician, while teenagers made similar assessment as to who was in distress, but defined the nature of that distress differently. Teacher report stood apart, identifying fewer inward emotional problems and asserting the cognitive-social competence of the vast majority of study children. Trauma-stress exposure during both war and resettlement presented as an unequivocal risk to mental health, but accounted for only part of outcome variance. Additional factors of strong import related broadly to “living in the present”. Parent impairment of daily routines, child dissatisfaction with school and an ongoing quarrelsome relationship presented as risk factors. Protection was associated with parent maintenance of a warm family climate and of concrete physical-emotional caring, child social ties to physically present others, including teacher; and above all, a family sense of hope for the future. Results support the general robustness of our semi-structured approach. Exploring the child’s present well-being in narrative relation to past and future, our assessment captured and gave meaning to the complexity of child exposure and behavior. At the same time, independent parent and child appraisals provided an additional richness to the retelling and evaluation of child experience. Particularly the apartness of teacher report underscores the need to incorporate an outside-world vantage point in the process of risk assessment.

Full textAbstract:
Estudiar la relación que mantiene la personalidad y el Trastorno Mental (TM) resulta de gran interés en el momento actual. Uno de los objetivos principales de esta investigación es valorar la estabilidad-cambio de los rasgos de personalidad durante la presencia de un TM y tras la remisión completa del mismo. También nos interesa conocer si existen tipos de TM y/o condiciones clínicas que afectan de modo diferencial a la estabilidad-cambio de la evaluación de la personalidad. Para ello hemos realizado un estudio longitudinal a 6 meses en la comunidad de Navarra (España), en el cual se ha evaluado la personalidad y la psicopatología de 146 sujetos que inician y/o reinician un tratamiento especializado en salud mental. Para evaluar la personalidad de los sujetos se ha utilizado el NEO-PI-R ( Costa y McCrae, 1992) y para valorar la psicopatología general el SCL-90-R (Derogatis, 1994).
El 67.1% (N= 98) de muestra son mujeres con una media de edad de 36.01 años. El
28,1% presenta un Trastornos de Ansiedad (TA), el 24,6 % un Trastorno del Humor (TH), el
20,5% un Trastorno de Estrés (TE), el 17,8 % un Trastorno de Personalidad (TP) y el 0,6 % otro tipo de cuadro psicopatológico. El perfil de personalidad de la muestra se caracteriza por una puntuación alta en Neuroticismo (N), baja Extraversión (E), media en Apertura a la experiencia (O), media en Amabilidad (A) y baja en Responsabilidad (C). Tras analizar todos los datos con el programa estadístico SPSS-21, nuestros resultados son indicativos de que a excepción de la dimensión N, todas las dimensiones de personalidad presentan una adecuada estabilidad relativa y absoluta frente a la psicopatología y su tratamiento. Según nuestros datos, el TM produce un efecto amplificador y transitorio de la dimensión N y todas sus facetas, y una tendencia a la baja en la puntuación C, que es significativa para las facetas “Autodisciplina” y “Competencia”. Este cambio en la dimensión N parece asociarse al cambio psicopatológico que se produce durante la realización del tratamiento. Además nuestros datos son indicativos de que los rasgos de personalidad N y E se asocian de manera significativa con la psicopatología y que los sujetos con cuadros psicopatológicos de menor duración y gravedad clínica presentan mayor remisión completa de su TM, que los sujetos con cuadros psicopatológicos más graves y cronificados en el tiempo.
Todos los datos extraídos de nuestro estudio parecen converger en la hipótesis de que la duración del TM afecta de manera diferencial a la patoplastia de la personalidad.Studying the association between personality and mental disorders is of great interest at present times. One of the main aims of this research is to assess the stability-change of personality traits during the presence of a mental disorder and after its complete referral. We are also interested in finding out if there are types of mental disorders and/or clinical conditions that differentially affect the stability-change of personality assessment. Using a longitudinal study from Comunidad de Navarra followed during 6 months, we assessed personality and psychopathology in 146 participants starting or restarting specialized mental health care. NEO-PI-R (Costa y McCrae, 1992) has been used to assess personality and SCL- 90-R (Derogatis, 1994) to evaluate general psychopathology. 67.1% (N= 98) of the sample are women with a mean age of 36.01. 28.1% with a primary diagnosis of Anxiety Disorder (AD), 24.6% of Mood Disorders (MD), 20.5% of Stress Disorder (SD), 17.8% of Personality Disorder (PD) and 0.6% of other psychopathological problems. Sample personality profile is characterized by high scores in neuroticism (N), low extraversion (E) scores, average scores in openness to experience (O), average scores in agreeableness (A) and low conscientiousness (C) scores. After analyzing all the data with SPSS-21 software, the results highlight that with the exception of N domain, all other personality domains have adequate relative and absolute stability as compare with psychopathology and its treatment. According to our data, the mental disorder produce an amplifier and transient effect in N domain and all its facets and a downward trend in the C score significant for "self-discipline" and "competence" facets. This change in N domain seems to be related to the psychopathological change produced during treatment. Also our data are indicative that N and E domains are significantly associated to psychopathology. In our sample, subjects with milder or shorter psychological problems show successful mental health referral as compare with subjects with more severe and chronic disorders. All the data extracted from our study seem to converge on the hypothesis that the course and duration of the mental disorder affect differentially personality pathoplasty.

Full textAbstract:
Worldwide, fatal traffic injuries and drowning deaths are important problems. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the cirumstances of fatal and non-fatal traffic injuries and drowning deaths in Sweden including analysis of the presence of alcohol and drugs, which are considered to be major risk factors for these events. Data where obtained from the database of National Board of Forensic Medicine. In the first study, we investigated 420 passenger deaths from 372 crashes during 1993-1996. There were 594 drivers involved. In total, 21% of the drivers at fault were alcohol positive compared to 2% of drivers not at fault (p<0.001) (Paper I). During 2004-2007, crashes involving 56 fatally and 144 non-fatally injured drivers were investigated in a prospective study from Northern Sweden (Paper II). The drivers were alcohol positive in 38% and 21%, respectively. Psychoactive drugs were found in 7% and 13%, respectively. Benzodiazepines, opiates and antidepressants were the most frequent drugs found in drivers. Illict drugs were found 9% and 4% respectively, with tetrahydrocannabinol being the most frequent of these drugs (Paper II). We investigated 5,125 drowning deaths in Sweden during 1992-2009 (Paper III). The incidence decreased on average by about 2% each year (p<0.001). Unintentional drowning was most common (50%). Alcohol was found in 44% of unintentional, 24% of intentional, and 45% of undetermined drowning deaths. Psychoactive substances were detected in 40% and benzodiazepines were the most common substance. Illicit drugs were detected in 10%. Of all drowning deaths, a significantly higher proportion females commited suicide compared with males (55% vs. 21%, p<0.001). Suicidal drowning deaths (n=129) in Northern Sweden were studied further in detail (Paper IV). of these, 53% had been hospitalized due to a psychiatric diagnosis within five years prior to the suicide. Affective and psychotic disorders were the most common psychiatric diagnoses. Almost one third had performed a previous suicide attempt. One fourth had committed suicide after less than one week of discharge from hospital. Alochol was found in 16% and psychoactive drugs in 62% of these cases, respectively. In conclusion, alcohol and psychoactive drugs are commonly detected among injured drivers and drowning victims, and probably play a role in these events. Most of the individuals that tested positive for alcohol and high blood concentrations, indicating alochol dependence or abuse. This association warrants futher attention when planning future prevention.

INTRODUÇÃO: Além da sua função como carro chefe do eixo hipotálamo-hipófise-adrenal, o hormônio liberador de corticotrofina (CRH) participa de circuitos neuronais envolvidos na fisiopatologia da depressão. Como na gestação há grande produção de CRH pela placenta, que cessa abruptamente após o parto, estudos recentes avaliaram a relação entre a concentração plasmática de CRH e a ocorrência de depressão antes e após o parto, com resultados conflitantes. A relação entre a concentração desse hormônio no líquido cefalorraquidiano durante a gestação e os transtornos do humor no periparto não foi estudada até o presente. OBJETIVOS: Determinar se há diferença na concentração de CRH no LCR de mulheres grávidas e não grávidas e se a concentração de CRH no LCR no final da gestação tem correlação com a presença de sintomas depressivos na gestação e após o parto. MÉTODOS: Estudo de coorte prospectivo. O CRH foi medido no LCR de 111 mulheres grávidas e 22 voluntárias não grávidas. Nas gestantes, os sintomas depressivos foram avaliados com a Escala de Depressão pós-natal de Edimburgo (EPDS) com ponto de corte ≥13, aplicada logo antes do parto e entre quatro a oito semanas após o nascimento da criança. A diferença de concentração de CRH no LCR foi avaliada pela comparação de médias, utilizando o teste t de Student (p <0,05). RESULTADOS: Amostra final composta por 107 gestantes e 22 mulheres não gestantes. A concentração de CRH no LCR foi significativamente maior no LCR das gestantes, com média de 28pg/ml a mais do que nas não gestantes (p=0,001). Foram encontrados sintomas depressivos em 11% das mulheres durante a gestação e em 12% no período pós-parto. A comparação da concentração de CRH no LCR de pacientes sem sintomas depressivos e com sintomas depressivos antes ou após o parto não mostrou diferença significativa. CONCLUSÃO: Na presente amostra foi encontrada maior concentração de CRH no LCR de pacientes grávidas quando comparadas com não grávidas, mas a concentração de CRH no LCR não foi diferente em pacientes com e sem sintomas depressivos. _________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: In addition to its key role as a regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH) is implicated in neuronal circuits involved in the pathophysiology of depression. During pregnancy the placenta secretes CRH into the systemic circulation and greatly increases its circulating levels, which reduce abruptly after delivery. Because of these changes in the circulating levels of CRH, recent studies have investigated the relationship between plasma CRH levels and the occurrence of depression before and after delivery, with conflicting results. The relationship between CRH levels in cerebrospinal fluid and peripartum mood disorders has not been studied to date. OBJECTIVES: To determine if there are differences in CRH levels in the CSF of pregnant and non-pregnant women, and if CRH levels in CSF at the end of pregnancy correlate with the presence of depressive symptoms during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study in which CRH levels were measured in the CSF of 111 pregnant and 22 non-pregnant women. In pregnant women, depressive symptoms were assessed immediately before delivery and four to eight weeks after childbirth, using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), with a cutoff of at least 13. Differences between mean CRH levels in CSF were evaluated by using Student’s t test (p<0.05). RESULTS: 107 pregnant and 22 non-pregnant women composed the final sample. CRH levels in the CSF were significantly higher in pregnant women, on average 28 pg/mL higher in this group as compared to non-pregnant women (p=0.001). Depressive symptoms were found in 11% of women during pregnancy and in 12% of them in the post-partum period. There was no significant difference in CRH levels in the CSF of women with or without depressive symptoms before or after delivery. CONCLUSION: In this sample greater CRH levels in the CSF were found in pregnant women as compared to non-pregnant women, but there were no significant differences in these levels in women with or without depressive symptoms.

Ahmad, Ali. "Presence of stress reactions and coping mechanisms following traumatic upper limb injury in Arabic speaking adults in Kuwait and the influence on hand impairment status." Thesis, New York University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3729795.
Full textAbstract:
This exploratory repeated-measure study investigated the presence of stress reactions and coping mechanisms following traumatic upper limb injuries in 70 Arabic-speaking adults in Kuwait and the influence on hand impairment status. Data were collected twice, at the time of admittance to the hospital, and at the time of therapy conclusion. The presence of overall stress reaction, avoidance stress reaction, intrusive stress reaction, and the use of coping mechanisms have been confirmed at both admittance to the hospital and at the conclusion of therapy. The expression of overall stress reaction at the conclusion of therapy was slightly less than what the participants experienced at admittance to the hospital, though the difference was not significant. Use of coping mechanisms, on average, increased between the time of admittance to the hospital to the time of therapy conclusion. A positive correlation was established between hand impairment and each of the following: overall stress reaction, the avoidance and intrusion subscales, and problem solving-based coping. Furthermore, using baseline variables, problem solving-based coping and muscle/nerve tear diagnosis were related to how participants perceived their hand impairment at the time of therapy conclusion. This indicated that sustaining a muscle/nerve tear diagnosis is related to perceiving greater hand impairment than other types of injuries when patients are discharged from therapy. The findings also indicated that the higher the perception of hand impairment the more coping mechanisms participants had to use. A closer examination of the regression and correlation analyses revealed that when stress reaction increased, participants tended to report greater hand impairment and an increased use of coping mechanisms. Suggesting that subjects may have resorted to the use of problem-solving coping to manage the stress reaction they were experiencing. Giving rise to the possibility that problem-based coping may act as a mediator in the relationship between stress reaction and hand impairment. Thus, it is important for therapists to be aware of the presence and the relationship between these factors, and need to take into consideration stress reactions and the use of coping mechanisms when devising treatment plans for their patients to optimize recovery status.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis project aims to contribute knowledge to the field of user experience design in games by examining the relationship between presence and wayfinding in games in order to determine how one might design wayfinding systems that simultaneously facilitate player navigation and create a sense of presence. Based on examining and comparing existing literature on wayfinding and presence in games, and by analyzing existing games that accomplish the aforementioned dual purpose, I formulate a set of hypothetical design principles for presence-creating wayfinding design. The validity of these principles is then put to test by creating and testing a digital prototype where participants are tasked with navigating a virtual space. The testing of the practical application of these principles reveals them to be largely viable, demonstrating the viability of designing wayfinding solutions for games that simultaneously facilitate presence.

Full textAbstract:
Mental illness (MI) stigma is considered a primary barrier to seeking and remaining in treatment. Mental health experts argue that directly targeting persons with MI in an effort to reduce gun violence may increase public stigma via further associating MI with dangerousness and increasing public preferences for social distance. The present study experimentally investigated whether firearm laws targeting persons with MI who are considered to be a ‘clear and present danger’ to themselves and others can increase MI stigma (i.e., dangerousness, social distance) and ultimately decrease treatment-seeking intentions among college students. Examining mental health reporting practices imposed by such laws poses important questions about their influence on whether people are less likely to seek necessary treatments pending personal distress. The empirical evidence from a variety of research studies largely does not support the effectiveness of these laws. The current study differs from previous research by directly exposing participants to how these reporting provisions impact limits to confidentiality in the therapy process to determine whether they influence differences in treatment-seeking intentions and MI stigma. Additionally, this study examined whether perceived dangerousness and preference for social distance mediate the relationships between exposure to these reporting provisions and treatment-seeking intention. Two-hundred and twenty-nine undergraduate students were randomly-assigned by gender to read a therapy consent form containing clear and present danger reporting laws (CPD) or a standard therapy consent without these laws (control). Participants then completed measures of treatment-seeking intentions, perceived dangerousness, and preference for social distance. Contrary to hypotheses, perceived dangerousness, preference for social distance, and treatment-seeking intentions did not differ between the CPD and control conditions. Furthermore, dangerousness and social distance did not mediate the relationship between CPD conditions and intention to seek treatment. Findings do not support concerns that firearm laws directly targeting MI populations may increase stigma and decrease treatment-seeking intentions. Implications for MI populations, future research, and CPD laws are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The Medina of Tripoli, Libya, is a very ancient walled city that has a history of change, development, deterioration, conservation, and preservation to its fabric. Influenced by various foreign groups (Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Muslims, Spanish, Ottomans, Karamanlis), its architectural styles include ancient and traditional structures, as well as modern Western style or acculturation architecture. The purpose of the Medina as a place of habitation has changed over the years because of many factors including residents moving out of the Medina, fluctuating preservation, the changes in government policy when each new ruling entity had its particular laws and regulations, and some distortion of the economy due to the oil revenues. The place has no long-term plan or vision applied to it--either from within or from without. This study, the first of its kind in North Africa to collect information by using surveys and mental maps, convert the information into geographic information system (GIS) data, and come to definite conclusions about the Medina's situation. The entire research focused on four areas (the Islamic buildings, common routes of transportation, areas of deterioration, and population densities within Tripoli's Medina), but this document focused on the deterioration in the city while analyzing its urban informality, the residents' rights to live in the city, and property categories. This study helped to clarify the current situation and provide input to planners in post-uprising Libya.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med studien var att undersöka och utvärdera kulturella verktyg och metoder som ingående komponenter i en strategi för ett ergonomiskt musicerande avseende främst stråkmusiker. Studien är metodologiskt genomförd som en fallstudie med semi-strukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer i kombination med observationer och tidigare insamlat datamaterial. Genom det kulturpsykologiska perspektivet kartläggs rytmik- och rörelsepedagogen Helle Axel-Nilssons kulturella verktygslåda. Axel-Nilsson är verksam vid Kungl. Musikhögskolan i Stockholm. Yttre (fysiska) påverkansfaktorer är kroppsliga besvär som uppstår av repetitiva rörelser, ensidiga och felaktiga ställningar i musicerandet. Med rätt metoder medvetandegörs vikten av dynamiken mellan spänning och avspänning. Inre (psykiska) påverkansfaktorer är en inre mental process, vi människor har möjlighet att förändra, hantera och påverka våra sinnen med tankens kraft. Mental närvaro bidrar till att upprätthålla en hållbar kropp. Det yttre och det inre samspelet bildar tillsammans en helhet och är beroende av varandra. För att vara en hållbar musiker och/eller pedagog är det viktigt att koppla samman den mentala närvaron med ergonomisk medvetenhet och att se hela kroppen som en helhet och inte som separata delar. Studiens övergripande resultat är att Axel-Nilsson kombinerar kunskaper från flera olika områden inom det yttre och det inre samt samspelet dem emellan i sin undervisning. Samspelet mellan det yttre och det inre utgör den pedagogiska metod Ki- kommunikation som Axel-Nilsson utformat och utövar. Hon arbetar med hela kroppens resurser och lyckas skapa en varierande undervisning med många sinnen aktiva. Genom att lära sig grunderna i hur man använder sin tyngdkraft i kroppens längd och rörelsemönster finner man sitt kroppsgehör för sitt kinistetiska sinne som tillsammans med mental närvaro ökar förutsättningarna för att upprätthålla en hållbar kropp.The aim of the study was to examine and evaluate cultural tools and methods as components of ergonomic strategies for primarily string musicians. Methodologically, this thesis is conducted as a case study with semi-structured interviews in combination with observations and collected material. A cultural-psychological perspective has been employed to map out cultural tools used by Helle Alex-Nilsson, a teacher of music ergonomics at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. External (physical) factors of influence are bodily discomfort from repetitive movements and bad ergonomics while playing music. With the correct methods and increased awareness of the causes of the problems, the teacher helps the students to understand the importance of dynamics between tension and relaxation. Internal (psychological) factors of influence are interpreted as an inner mental process. Human beings are dynamic and in possession of the power to control, change and influence our senses. Mental awareness contributes to sustain a solid body. The combination of the external and internal factors creates a bodily wholeness and one of the factors cannot function without the other, according to Axel-Nilsson. They contribute to an awareness of psychological factors within Ki-communication, a method that Axel-Nilsson has developed. The result of the study is that Axel-Nilsson uses various pedagogical tools and combines external and internal factors as a method called Ki-communication. By learning the basics of how to use gravity, body length and bodily movements, one can discover ones bodily “tonic” (as a musical metaphor used by Axel- Nilsson). By Ki-communication in combination with mental awareness and the kinaesthetic sense, the precondition to sustain a solid body increases.

Full textAbstract:
Background
Mental health problems result in high levels of morbidity and mortality and impose high societal costs. Population surveys have not only revealed an increasing prevalence of mental illness and sub threshold levels of psychological distress within the community; but also, relatively consistent and unimproved levels of treatment-seeking behaviours. This unmet need for mental health interventions represents an important public health issue for global health care systems. The Emergency Department (ED) represents an ideal access point for hard to reach individuals and can be seen as a gateway to mental health services, particularly for individuals whom are not seeking treatment for such issues. However, if populations with sub threshold symptoms of mental illness can be routinely screened and targeted during opportunistic presentations, then interventions can be offered to help alleviate distress. Ultimately, this would be beneficial in the long term for the individual, their families and the community as a whole; due to the high costs associated with mental health issues
Aim
This study aimed to use a novel approach for mental health treatment, by offering telephone-delivered Motivational Interviewing (MI) to ED attendees with moderate to high levels of psychological distress. The intervention focussed on ED attendees who were not seeking treatment for mental health problems, with the intention to encourage and motivate them to seek further assistance.
Methods
This study was undertaken in two phases: The first phase comprised a survey of ED attendees over a 24-hour / 2-week time period, to measure the prevalence of psychosocial distress, and to inform the intervention phase of the study. The second phase involved screening ED attendees, using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scales (K10), to identify those with moderate to high levels of psychological distress. Participants were randomised into either a low stress group, or a moderate to high stress group which comprised a control and intervention group (3 arms in total). The intervention was delivered by telephone MI and comprised 2 to 4 sessions of up to one hour, as determined by the participant’s needs. Success of the intervention was determined if / when participants actively sought help from their General Practitioner (GP) for their mental health issue. Other measures included the MI effect on psychological distress; with participant follow up conducted at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, post recruitment.
Results
Overall, the intervention group reported less psychological distress over the 12-month follow up period, although the intervention’s aim to increase GP access was ultimately unsuccessful. However, men in the intervention group did report a statistically significant reduction in depression symptoms, with significant effects lasting up to 12 months. The MI intervention delivered by telephone was deemed acceptable for males, with 80% reporting satisfaction for the MI delivered by telephone.
Discussion
For the treatment of mental health issues, men represent a generally hard to access population with lower attendance of health appointments when compared to women; nor do they perceive the need for mental health treatment as easily as women. The telephone intervention utilised in this study was accepted by the male non-treatment seeking sample and suggests that men’s treatment needs may be different to that of women’s. As such, it may be necessary to explore male-centred models of care that cater exclusively to this gender. Aside from being a crisis service for mental health, the ED also offers a controlled environment for opportunistic health service presentations, where interventions for the promotion of mental health appears to be currently underutilised. The systematic screening of ED attendees can help identify individuals with underlying sub threshold levels of mental ill-health and appears to be particularly useful for patients whom are hard to access due to suboptimal treatment seeking behaviours.
Conclusion
Overall, this study suggests that telephone-based MI represents a feasible and flexible option to help alleviate psychological distress among non-treatment seeking populations. Early detection and targeted interventions that can help prevent the progression of psychological distress are clearly desirable for this vulnerable and hard to access subpopulation. The current study also suggests that screening and delivering early interventions offer a cost-effective method to help reduce the progression of psychological distress symptoms and develop psychological resources for EDs of the future.

Full textAbstract:
Tiene como objetivo general, comparar los resultados entre la presencia de la sintomatología depresiva en niños de 8 a 10 años con leucemia, discapacidad física y ausencia de problemas físicos. La muestra estuvo conformada por 27 niños de 8 a 10 años, de los cuales 6 fueron diagnosticados con leucemia, 6 con discapacidad física y 15 sin problemas de de salud física. Para ello se utilizó el Cuestionario de Depresión para niños (CDS), donde los participantes debían señalar aquellas imágenes cuyos rostros representaban mejor su respuesta al enunciado presentado. Los resultados indicaron que el 50% de los niños con leucemia presentaban niveles muy bajos o ausencia de sintomatología depresiva; mientras que los niños con discapacidad física y sin problemas de salud, presentaba el 33.3% y el 13.33% respectivamente, que según lo establecido en el instrumento, indica la presencia de un transtorno depresivo. No obstante, no se presenta una diferencia significativa en cuanto a una mayor presencia de sintomatología depresiva entre las muestras. Por tanto, de los resultados obtenidos se puede apreciar, que el padecimiento de una enfermdedad no es determinante para la aparición de sintomas depresivos pudiendo existir otros factores implicados; sin embargo, es importante señalar que, la discapacidad física puede tener un impacto negativo en los niños que la presentan considerando las limitaciones y su condición de permanencia en su desarrollo.This research aims to compare the results between depressive symptomatology in children aged 8 to 10 years with leukemia, physical disability and absence of physical health problems. The sample consisted of 27 children aged 8-10 years, of which 6 have leukemia, 6 are physical disabled and 15 do not have any physical health problem. Children responded to the “Children’s Depresion Scale”, in which they had to point out pictures of faces that indicated their response. The results showed that 50% of children with leukemia had very low levels or absence of depressive symptomatology, whereas 33.3% of physically handicapped children and 13.3% of the children without health problems presented a depressive disorder. However, the results did not evidence a significative difference between the samples. Therefore, having a disease does not necessarily mean that a child will develop depression, since there are many factors involved in this diagnosis; however, these have not been addressed in this study. In addition, it is important to mention that a physical disability can have a negative impact on the children who have it, because of the limitations it implies and the permanency of the condition in their development.

Full textAbstract:
Les interfaces cerveau-ordinateur basées sur l’imagerie mentale (MI-BCIs) offrent de nouvelles possibilités d’interaction avec les technologies numériques, telles que les neuroprothèses ou les jeux vidéo, uniquement en effectuant des tâches d’imagerie mentale, telles qu’imaginer d’un objet en rotation. La reconnaissance de la commande envoyée au système par l’utilisateur repose sur l’analyse de l’activité cérébrale de ce dernier. Les utilisateurs doivent apprendre à produire des patterns d’activité cérébrale reconnaissables par le système afin de contrôler les MI-BCIs. Cependant, les protocoles de formation actuels ne permettent pas à 10 à 30 % des personnes d’acquérir les compétences nécessaires pour utiliser les MI-BCIs. Ce manque de fiabilité des BCIs limite le développement de la technologie en dehors des laboratoires de recherche. Cette thèse a pour objectif d’examiner comment le feedback fourni tout au longde la formation peut être amélioré et adapté aux traits et aux états des utilisateurs. Dans un premier temps, nous examinons le rôle qui est actuellement donné au feedback dans les applications et les protocoles d’entraînement à l’utilisation des MI-BCIs. Nous analysons également les théories et les contributions expérimentales discutant de son rôle et de son utilité dans le processus d’apprentissage de contrôle de correlats neurophysiologiques. Ensuite, nous fournissons une analyse de l’utilité de différents feedback pour l’entraînement à l’utilisation des MI-BCIs. Nous nous concentrons sur trois caractéristiques principales du feedback, i.e., son contenu, sa modalité de présentation et enfin sa dimension temporelle. Pour chacune de ces caractéristiques, nous avons examiné la littérature afin d’évaluer quels types de feedback ont été testés et quel impact ils semblent avoir sur l’entraînement. Nous avons également analysé quels traits ou états des apprenants influaient sur les résultats de cet entraînement. En nous basant sur ces analyses de la littérature, nous avons émis l’hypothèse que différentes caractéristiques du feedback pourraient être exploitées afin d’améliorer l’entraînement en fonction des traits ou états des apprenants. Nous rapportons les résultats de nos contributions expérimentales pour chacune des caractéristiques du feedback. Enfin, nous présentons différentes recommandations et défis concernant chaque caractéristique du feedback. Des solutions potentielles sont proposées pour à l’avenir surmonter ces défis et répondre à ces recommandationsMental-Imagery based Brain-Computer Interfaces (MI-BCIs) present new opportunities to interact with digital technologies, such as neuroprostheses or videogames, only by performing mental imagery tasks, such as imagining an object rotating. The recognition of the command for the system is based on the analysis of the brain activity of the user. The users must learn to produce brain activity patterns that are recognizable by the system in order to control BCIs. However, current training protocols do not enable 10 to 30% of persons to acquire the skills required to use BCIs. The lack of robustness of BCIs limit the development of the technology outside of research laboratories. This thesis aims at investigating how the feedback provided throughout the training can be improved and adapted to the traits and states of the users. First, we investigate the role that feedback is currently given in MI-BCI applications and training protocols. We also analyse the theories and experimental contributions discussing its role and usefulness. Then, we review the different feedback that have been used to train MI-BCI users. We focus on three main characteristics of feedback, i.e., its content, its modality of presentation and finally its timing. For each of these characteristics, we reviewed the literature to assess which types of feedback have been tested and what is their impact on the training. We also analysed which traits or states of the learners were shown to influence BCI training outcome. Based on these reviews of the literature, we hypothesised that different characteristics of feedback could be leveraged to improve the training of the learners depending on either traits or states. We reported the results of our experimental contributions for each of the characteristics of feedback. Finally, we presented different recommendations and challenges regarding each characteristic of feedback. Potential solutions were proposed to meet these recommendations in the future

Full textAbstract:
Culture and all of its aspects are best reflected in the home environments. Home is not only a house which is a shelter but a place with social, psychological and emotional associations, and manifests in the continous use of a house. Continuity of use in the home environments is both conceptual and physical, and this can be observed in traditional or historical domestic contexts, to which the Ottoman vernacular house is an example.
This study introduces the village of MenteSbey and its 19th century vernacular home environments within their socio-cultural context. MenteSbey was once a prominent center for kadis, Ottoman state officials and judges. The profession of kadilik played an important role in the social development of the village that in turn affected the domestic architecture, which can be grouped into two as kadi and standard houses. MenteSbey houses constitute a good example for tracing "home"
, "
continuity of use"
and "
status"
in the Ottoman house as some are still inhabited by the families descending both from the lineage of kadis and other families of the 19th century. Seventeen of these houses are documented with their plans, photographs and inhabitants in the study. This study is also an initial step for the possible cultural, architectural and historical studies in and around MenteSbey in the future, and most of all for preserving MenteSbey and its houses for the coming generations.

Com o objetivo de avaliar a repercussão da doença orgânica de baixa morbimortalidade e da suspeita de transtornos mentais medida através de uma escala de triagem, foi delineado um estudo transversal agregado ao Fator em Estudo, onde 187 adolescentes entre 13 e 20 anos foram avaliados quanto ao nível de depressão, expectativa de futuro, ideação e comportamento suicida. Os jovens foram divididos em grupos conforme a presença de doença orgânica e de acordo com a positividade da triagem para transtorno mental. Foram controladas variáveis sócio-demográficas como idade, sexo, instrução, défict cognitivo, Depressão Maior, classe social, tabagismo, turno escolar e turno de atendimento médico, assim como a presença de suspeita ou diagnóstico de doenças neuro-psiquiátricas e doenças orgânicas graves. A presença da doença orgânica esteve associada a maiores níveis de depressão, transtorno mental, menor expectativa de futuro, sem diferenças quanto à ideação e comportamento suicida. A positividade na escala de rastreamento para transtorno mental foi de 8% em jovens da comunidade e 28% em adolescentes com doença orgânica. Quando divididos pelo ponto de corte da escala de triagem, houve associação do grupo positivo com maiores níveis de depressão, menor expectativa de futuro, maior ideação suicida, havendo maior comportamento suicida apenas nos jovens sem diagnósticos clínicos. O sexo feminino apresentou maior nível de depressão e maiores escores de transtorno mental nas escolas da comunidade. Não houve relação entre nível sócioeconômico e nível de instrução com as variáveis estudadas. Este estudo conclui que a doença orgânica de baixa morbi-mortalidade exerce influência nos jovens avaliados, caracterizando-se por maior nível de depressão, transtorno mental e menor expectativa de futuro. Os adolescentes da comunidade com triagem positiva para transtorno mental através de uma escala de rastreamento demonstram maior sintomatologia depressiva, menor motivação para o futuro e maior ideação e comportamento suicida. Finalmente, enfatiza a importância de considerar a seriedade das queixas dos adolescentes doentes clinicamente, e da necessidade da investigação de alterações psiquiátricas nos jovens através de instrumentos elaborados e direcionados às características peculiares desta etapa da vida.

Full textAbstract:
Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Auswirkung von reichhaltigen, natürlichen Eingabe- und Ausgabeinformationen in virtuellen Umgebungen in Form von Natural Mapping und Stereoskopie. Dabei steht insbesondere die Kombination der Ein- und Ausgabemodalitäten mit dem damit verbundenen Interaktionsgegenstand im Fokus. Auf Basis von mentalen Modellen werden Transferprozesse von Wissen und Fertigkeiten bezüglich realer Handlungen auf virtuelle Handlungen angenommen. Diese resultieren in einer potenziell höheren User Experience und Performance bei der Interaktion. Spatial Mapping wird als Konzept der räumlichen Übereinstimmung von Wahrnehmungsräumen der Ein- und Ausgabeinformationen eingeführt und damit als holistische Erweiterung von Natural Mapping verstanden. Spatial Mapping bezeichnet in der vorliegenden Arbeit den Grad der Verknüpfung der physikalischen und virtuellen Umgebung, sodass Nutzer im Idealfall eine isomorphe Abbildung der beiden Wahrnehmungsräume erfahren und notwendige Transformationsprozesse für die Verarbeitung der virtuellen Umgebung minimiert werden können. Im Resultat stehen mehr kognitive Ressourcen für andere Inhalte zur Verfügung.
Auf Basis des Spatial-Mapping-Ansatzes wurde ein Pfadmodell konstruiert, das experimentell überprüft wurde. In zwei Experimenten wurden Effekte von Natural Mapping und Stereoskopie in Szenarien mit hohem Spatial Mapping untersucht. Das erste Experiment nutzte dafür ein kommerzielles Computerspiel, bei dem Spatial Mapping für die Interaktion nicht handlungsrelevant war. Beim zweiten Experiment kam ein Virtual-Reality-Simulator zum Einsatz, bei dessen Aufgabenstellung Nutzer vom hohen Spatial Mapping deutlich profitieren konnten. Meist wird Stereoskopie auf existierende mediale Inhalte angewendet, ohne die Inhalte entsprechend darauf anzupassen. Diese Vorgehensweise lässt sich sowohl bei kommerziellen Computerspielen als auch in der Filmindustrie beobachten. Die Experimente zeigen, dass Stereoskopie keinen Einfluss auf UX und Performance hat, wenn das verfügbare Spatial Mapping für den Interaktionsgegenstand nicht handlungsrelevant ist.
Die Arbeit diskutiert den Einsatz von Stereoskopie und Natural Mapping in Abhängigkeit des verwendeten Interaktionsgegenstandes und liefert damit einen Erklärungsansatz, der Eingabe- und Ausgabemodalitäten kombiniert betrachtet.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to explore the extent to which participating in a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programme may result in shifts in people’s relationship with time, notably whether they become more present-focussed. The eight week MBSR programme advocates mindfulness, which is defined as paying attention on purpose in the present moment without judgement, as a way of reducing stress. The programme has been available in East London since 2009. A case study of eight MBSR programme participants’ experiences using narrative analysis was conducted. Narrative psychology and social constructionism provided the theoretical basis in which our storied lives are located in culturally inscribed narratives, with specific discourses around time and stress. Time discourses tend to pressurise people to believe that it is better to go about daily life at a fast pace, which requires significant hurrying and rushing with pervasive senses of time urgency. Stress discourse locates stress management within individuals. One-on-one semi structured interviews were held so that participants could reflect on their experience of time and the present moment orientation of the programme. Participants’ perceived a shift in how they experienced time with greater awareness of being present-focussed and they identified stress reduction benefits, which included feeling calmer, less panicked and more self-accepting. However, some of the participants maintaining the formal mindfulness practices like the body scan, meditation and mindful movement after the programme often proved difficult, as they were drawn back into their dominant narratives around time which were characterised by busyness, productivity and time scarcity.

Tese de doutoramento, Enfermagem, Universidade de Lisboa, com a participação da Escola Superior de Enfermagem, 2012A presença como cuidado de enfermagem é apresentada na literatura como uma competência dos enfermeiros. Consiste num processo que se desenvolve e materializa num encontro entre enfermeiro e utente. Sendo o cerne de uma relação é no contexto de prestação de cuidados de enfermagem de saúde mental e psiquiátrica que possui maiores singularidades. É um conceito pouco delimitado e apesar do desenvolvimento da disciplina não existe investigação suficiente para responder à questão de investigação: Como se desenvolve a presença como cuidado, na relação enfermeiro/utente em contexto psiquiátrico? Tinha-mos como objectivos, compreender o processo de desenvolvimento da presença como cuidado; compreender o significado da presença como cuidado para enfermeiros e utentes e desenvolver uma teoria substantiva sobre a presença como cuidado em contexto psiquiátrico. É um estudo qualitativo utilizando a metodologia da Grounded Theory e decorreu num serviço de agudos de uma instituição de internamento na área da psiquiátrica. Os informantes foram um grupo de utentes e de enfermeiros. As técnicas de colheita de dados foram a observação participante, a entrevista e a análise documental. A análise e tratamento dos dados foram efectuados através das comparações constantes e da amostragem teórica. O trabalho indutivo permitiu-nos elaborar proposições referentes ao compromisso de presença. O compromisso de presença favorece o cuidado de enfermagem através do acolhimento hospitaleiro, promove a gestão do cuidado e permite o desenvolvimento de um cuidado singular. O compromisso de presença significa o conjunto de actividades que envolvem a gestão do internamento entre a permanência do cuidado e a consciência partilhada entre enfermeiro e utente. Propomos uma teoria substantiva onde o compromisso de presença como cuidado de enfermagem em contexto psiquiátrico é um processo vivido com momentos de tensão e contenção que promovem o cuidado de enfermagem.
Nursing presence is presented in the literature as a nurses’ competence, being a process that develops and materializes in a meeting between the nurse and the patient. As the core of a relationship it is in the context of mental health and psychiatric nursing that higher singularity can be found. Nevertheless nursing presence is a concept lean defined and despite the development of the discipline there is not enough research to answer the research question: How does develop the nursing presence as a care behaviour in the relationship nurse/patient in a psychiatric context? The aim of this study were to understand the process of developing nursing presence, to understand the meaning of nursing presence for nurses and patients and develop a substantive theory about nursing presence in a psychiatric context. A qualitative study using Grounded Theory methodology has been developed in an acute service in the area of psychiatric hospitalization. The group of informants was composed by patients and nurses. Data collection has been made through participant observation, interviews and document analysis. The analysis and data processing has been performed using constant comparisons and theoretical sampling. The inductive study allowed us to develop propositions regarding the presence commitment. Presence commitment promotes the nursing presence through the hospitality, promotes the management of care and allows the development of singular caring. This presence commitment means the set of activities involving the management of hospital permanence and the care awareness shared between nurse and patient. We propose a substantive theory where the presence commitment as a nursing care in psychiatric context is a living process with moments of tension and contention that promotes nursing care.

Full textAbstract:
This research examines mixed reality meetings, a context where individuals attend to both face-to-face group members while multitasking with technology. In these meetings, members engage simultaneously with those physically present and those outside of the meeting (virtual communication partners). Technology multitasking in meetings has a dual effect: it not only impacts the individual user, it has the potential to transform how collocated groups communicate and work together since attention becomes fragmented across multiple competing tasks.
Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to investigate mixed reality meetings across four themes: (1) the factors contributing to the likelihood to multitask based on meeting type, polychronicity (one’s preference for multitasking), and cohesion beliefs, (2) behavior during mixed reality assessed by copresence management, (3) attitudes toward technology multitasking, and (4) subjective outcomes measured by perceived productivity and meeting satisfaction. The qualitative data set consists of fieldwork from a global software company and interviews with 8 information workers. The quantitative data are comprised of survey results from the fieldwork site (n=156) and an online panel of information workers (n=110).
Results indicate that information workers perceive distinct meeting types that are associated with implicit norms for appropriate technology multitasking. These norms varied based on the relevance of a meeting segment and if a power figure was present. A higher preference score for multitasking (high polychronicity) was significantly correlated with increased technology multitasking and perceived productivity. Members of cohesive teams exhibited the most technology multitasking and perceived their teammates multitasking as appropriate. However, outsiders who exhibited the same behaviors were viewed as rude and distracting. Overall, information workers who multitasked during meetings did so with electronic communication tasks (e-mail and instant messaging) as opposed to other computing tasks (e.g. writing documents, researching information).
These findings are discussed in relation to psychological studies on multitasking, computer-supported cooperative work, and social constructionist views of technology use. This dissertation is a contribution to the assessment of technology use in social settings, particularly in organizations where tasks are often interrupted and a reliance on electronic communication tools impacts how people manage and accomplish work.text

RESUMO: O objetivo do presente estudo foi o de realizar uma avaliação das necessidades de
indivíduos com doença mental severa (SMI), utilizadores de diversos serviços de
saúde mental, e com especial foco nas unidades de saúde mental comunitária na
Grécia. O estudo foi realizado em cooperação com a EPAPSY, que é uma importante
ONG na Grécia, e a clínica da Universidade de Eginition (com unidades de
internamento e de ambulatório). O principal instrumento de investigação utilizado foi
o CAN-R, que foi adaptado para a população Grega por Stefanatou et al. (2014).
Nenhuma outra avaliação de necessidades em saúde mental foi até então realizada. A
amostra em estudo (N = 111) abrangeu um vasto número de pessoas de unidades de
saúde mental comunitária de diversas regiões da Grécia. Além do instrumento CAN,
foi também utilizado o PANSS para avaliar a severidade dos sintomas, o WHODAS
2.0 para avaliar a funcionalidade e o WHOQOL-BREF para avaliar a qualidade de
vida. O estudo centrou-se na definição do perfil das necessidades dos indivíduos com
doença mental severa através do cálculo do nível de concordância entre os
utilizadores dos serviços e os profissionais de saúde, bem como na descrição da
presença da necessidade. Neste estudo, observou-se um elevado grau de concordância
das necessidades entre utilizadores e profissionais de saúde mental, e as necessidades
identificadas estão de acordo com a evidência internacional. As necessidades
identificadas foram nomeadamente o alojamento, a sintomatologia psicótica, o
sofrimento psicológico e os relacionamentos íntimos. Os relacionamentos íntimos, a
interação social e a expressão sexual foram identificadas como as necessidades não
satisfeitas mais graves. A maior discrepância da concordância entre funcionários dos
serviços e utilizadores foi observada ao nível do sofrimento psicológico. Os
utilizadores dos serviços tendem a relatar que o apoio ao sofrimento psicológico é
uma necessidade não satisfeita grave (19,8%), enquanto os profissionais tendem a
considerar que essa necessidade só não é colmatada em apenas 10,8% dos casos. No
futuro, espera-se recorrer às correlações entre os dados do PANSS, WHODAS 2.0 e
do WHOQOL-BREF para fornecer informação adicional necessária para o
desenvolvimento de serviços que colmatem as reais necessidades de saúde mental dos
seus utilizadores na Grécia.--------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to conduct a need assessment in individuals with a SMI who
use a wide range of mental health services with a specific focus on community mental
health units in Greece. The research took place with the cooperation of EPAPSY
which is a major NGO in Greece and the University clinic of Eginition (inpatient and
outpatient units). The main research instrument was the CAN-R which has been
adapted to the Greek population by Stefanatou et al. (2014). No other need assessment
research in mental health has been conducted previously. Our sample (N=111)
included a wide range of community mental health units in different regions of
Greece. Along with the CAN we used PANSS for symptom severity, WHODAS 2.0
for functionality and WHOQOL-BREF for quality of life. The current study has
focused on the profiling of needs of individuals with SMI calculating the level of
agreement between users and staff members, as well as depicting the presence of
need. In our study the level of agreement of staff members was in concordance with
mental health service users while several needs were identified in line with
international evidence. Namely, accommodation, psychotic symptoms, psychological
distress and intimate relationships were identified. Intimate relationships, company
and sexual expression were identified as serious unmet needs. A major discrepancy
between staff members and users was noted in the psychological distress field. Users
tend to identify as a serious unmet need the psychological distress (19.8%) while the
staff considered this need as unmet only in the 10.8% of the cases. We are hoping to
further process the correlations between PANSS, WHODAS 2.0 and WHOQOLBREF
to provide evidence in transforming services to meet self-reported needs in
mental health service users in Greece.

abstract: Since 1939, Batman has been a staple character of the comic book industry. He has been used throughout the last 80 years as a conduit through which to portray mental health content. This thesis analyzes how mental health content has changed in Batman comic books from 1939 to today. Based on existing research, I identified that mental health content has been present in Batman comic books for as long as they have existed. According to my research results, content can be traced back to the Golden Age of comic books (1939-1956), with a decrease in content in the Silver Age of comic books (1956-1970) due to the emergence of the Comics Code Authority. In the Bronze Age of comic books (1970-1986), mental health content reached its peak. In the Modern Age of comic books (1986-Present), content once again dropped, but not as low as in the Golden and Silver Ages. Identifying how mental health representation has changed since 1939 can help researchers to better understand how comic books can be used to communicate with readers.Dissertation/Thesis

Full textAbstract:
In this competitive market, companies more and more pay attention on consumer satisfaction by giving a great experience. Many marketing tools have been used to create the right atmosphere during the shopping experience which should stimulate positive emotions to the individual and consequently influence the purchase intention.
Virtual Reality is one of the tools that marketers have investigated to understand its benefits in consumers’ behaviour.

Foi criado um cenário virtual e os participantes experienciaram um supermercado em realidade virtual. Os resultados revelam que o ambiente virtual tem impacto no comportamento. As Imagens Mentais têm o impacto mais significante nas emoções geradas enquanto que é a Presença que tem maior impacto na intenção de compra.
