Not exact matches

With respect to previous literature, our results are generally consistent with Donn and Sherman's (2002) findings that the (younger) undergraduate students in their sample were less likely than the (older) graduate students who participated in their study to report having used the Internet to meet potential partners.

Our sample can be characterized as high risk (baseline ECBI T score > 55) 42 or at the borderline of clinical (T score > 60), 34 which is typical of previous randomized clinical trials of parent training for young children.41 The results across methods in this study are impressive given that effect sizes have been shown to be associated with the magnitude of symptom severity at baseline, 43 and thus it is typically more difficult to find large effects in prevention than in intervention trials.

There is growing evidence for online mindfulness courses being as effective as other face - to - face interventions and online courses for stress even without a therapeutic alliance.37 — 40 Previously found Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) effect sizes are comparable to those found with face - to - face mindfulness and CBT interventions, including our previous research examining the course currently under investigation.40 — 42 One RCT found that an automated internet - based therapy including CBT and mindfulness actually had better outcomes for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) than the comparative online therapist - led intervention, suggesting that the effects of internet interventions can not be attributed to, and do not rely on, therapist interaction.43 Studies are finding that online mindfulness courses can be beneficial for depression in samples with IBS and epilepsy and anxiety symptoms in a non-clinical sample comparing a 3 - week mindfulness course with positive psychology interventions and treatment as usual (see Monshat38 for a review).

A web - based approach was adopted to reach a more geographically diverse sample of parents than in the previous studies and to ascertain the validity of the scale when administered in this alternative format.

Although this study has some shortcomings such as small sample size, potential selection bias, and less than ideal controls (eg, treatment group was seen for a longer period than control group), the results are promising and consistent with data from previous studies in non-medical patients with depression.

Although the current dataset collected little demographic data on individual cases, information from the practices showed a very high percentage of suburban practices in the current sample, suggesting the possibility that the overall socioeconomic status of these subjects might be much higher than it was in the original PSC - 17 sample.1 As noted in previous studies with the PSC43 and other measures, 9,13,44,45 the rate of positive screening, especially for externalizing problems, is usually higher in lower — socioeconomic status populations.

On social - emotional measures, foster children in the NSCAW study tended to have more compromised functioning than would be expected from a high - risk sample.43 Moreover, as indicated in the previous section, research suggests that foster children are more likely than nonfoster care children to have insecure or disordered attachments, and the adverse long - term outcomes associated with such attachments.44 Many studies of foster children postulate that a majority have mental health difficulties.45 They have higher rates of depression, poorer social skills, lower adaptive functioning, and more externalizing behavioral problems, such as aggression and impulsivity.46 Additionally, research has documented high levels of mental health service utilization among foster children47 due to both greater mental health needs and greater access to services.

Although, sampling differences between the US and Dutch participants (i.e. there were no high school students in the US sample) might partly explain this result, it stil is remarkable, as previous Dutch studies showed that D / HH students do have a lower friendship quality than hearing students [1], [8].

Because our sample differed from those used in these previous studies (e.g., majority of children in our sample had a DBD and all were aged 7 years and over), rather than use the a priori scales, we computed parallel analysis and exploratory factor analysis (described below) and scored the measure based on these results.

Our finding that the severity of depressive symptoms was a significant but relatively smaller contributor to physical disability in this sample (after controlling for the possible effects of age, sex and duration of pain) is consistent with findings of some previous studies of patients with chronic pain, but not with some treatment studies, which found that depression level contributed to less significant improvement in pain - related disability.11, 27 It is not surprising that cognitive, pain and behavioural variables accounted for more physical disability than depressive symptoms but it is notable that social support (as measured by the MPI), sense of control over life, and catastrophising did not significantly contribute to physical disability.

This sample reported lower conflict and higher cohesion than previous studies with nonclinical, healthy samples, suggesting that the families in this study were doing remarkably well prior to transitioning to the pump.
