▼ The stroke and health burden associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) is significant and likely to escalate. This burden could be markedly reduced through early identification of AF, and through appropriate management. This thesis aimed to explore the feasibility of community based screening to identify AF, and the effect of risk factor reduction once AF is identified. Firstly, the prevalence of undiagnosed AF identified in community screening was determined through a systematic literature review. Subsequently, a simple AF screening program using innovative smartphone ECG technology was performed in ten community pharmacies in Sydney, Australia. Feasibility and cost effectiveness was evaluated, including qualitative analysis of barriers and enablers to implementation. Additionally, the effect of risk factor management programs was determined by performing a systematic literature review. Finally, the feasibility of a simple brief risk factor management program for people with AF was evaluated. Community screening for AF ≥65 years identifies 1.4% with previously unknown AF, of whom the majority are asymptomatic and at sufficient stroke risk to be eligible for oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention. Screening within community pharmacies, using a handheld ECG, is feasible and cost-effective for stroke prevention, and is warranted as an additional measure to current practice, however a sustainable source of funding is required. Engagement with third party payers is necessary to determine an appropriate funding model. Further research is required to identify a way in which screening can be optimally incorporated into pharmacy workflow. Once AF is identified, lifestyle interventions to address modifiable risk factors in people with AF show great potential for reducing the burden of AF and associated morbidities. Robust randomised controlled trials of novel approaches are needed to identify a suitable and sustainable model of care for delivery of lifestyle interventions.

▼ Overweight and obesity in Mexican children substantiates the need to identify effective strategies and policies to address this problem. Instituto Nacional de Salud Publica (INSP) designed and implemented a randomized control trial (RCT) to assess an ecologically-based intervention program to modify the school environment to promote healthy lifestyle behaviours in children. The objectives of this thesis are to describe the design and impact of this RCT, to examine the program content through an ecological approach, and to examine policy activities that have been informed by the RCT findings. Four manuscripts address these objectives. Manuscript one is Promoting a Healthful Diet and Physical Activity in the Mexican School System for the Prevention of Obesity in Children: Rationale, Design and Methods. It describes the rationale, design, and methods of the two-year INSP-Secretaria de Educacion Publica (Secretary of Public Education, SEP) RCT. Manuscript two is Impact of a School-based Intervention Program on Obesity Risk Factors in Mexican Children. It reports on the environmental impact of the INSP-SEP intervention by comparing 16 intervention schools with 11 non-intervention schools. Results showed increased availability and food intake of healthy foods with a concomitant decrease in unhealthy food availability in intervention schools/children. Manuscript three is An Ecological and Theoretical Deconstruction of a School-based Obesity Prevention Program in Mexico. It reports on an assessment of the integration of ecological principles and theoretical constructs in the school-based behavioural change/obesity prevention intervention carried out by the INSP-SEP. Results showed that 32 intervention strategies were implemented in the school setting to engage target-groups; the most used SCT construct was Reciprocal Determinism. Manuscript four is titled Quality and Implementation of the Nutrition and Physical Activity School Policy Guidelines in Mexico City. It assesses the quality and implementation conditions of a policy and reports on the implementation and the uptake of the national school policy to prevent obesity in Mexico city through a policy analysis, WHO School Policy Framework (SPF) and indicators informed by the national policy. Findings showed that not all of the 10 implementation pre-conditions were met; School Guidelines mostly complied with SPF but were not fully implemented within our sample.

▼ Postoperative delirium is a common complication that occurs in elderly patients undergoing surgery with anaesthesia. This condition causes feelings of fear, discomfort and suffering for the patient. The aim with this study was to describe what interventions that can be used to prevent or treat postoperative delirium and what effect they have on the condition. This study is a systematic review with a descriptive design which examines existing research on nursing interventions with the aim of preventing and treating postoperative delirium. The study is based on nine scientific original articles, seven were randomized controlled trials and two were quasi experimental studies. The literature search was made through Cinahl, psycINFO and PubMed. When all studies had been examined the results showed multiple interventions and most of them had a preventive or treating effect on postoperative delirium. The interventions focus on different ways to affect the condition. Some of them are geriatric consultation, music therapy and family as caregivers. Postoperative delirium can be both prevented and treated through different kinds of interventions. This study contributes to expanded knowledge on how the condition can be managed, however further research is needed to provide increased evidence and prove which interventions that can provide the most effective affect on postoperative delirium.
Postoperativt delirium är en vanlig komplikation hos äldre som genomgått någon form av kirurgi under anestesi. Tillståndet innebär rädsla, obehag och lidande för patienten. Syftet med studien är att beskriva vilka omvårdnadsinterventioner som finns för att förebygga och behandla postoperativt delirium samt vilken effekt dessa har. Denna studie är en litteraturöversikt med beskrivande design som undersöker befintlig forskning kring omvårdnadsinterventioner med syfte att förebygga och behandla postoperativt delirium. Studien består av nio vetenskapliga originalartiklar, sju var randomiserade kontrollerade studier och två var kvasiexperimentella studier. Datainsamlingen genomfördes i databaserna Cinahl, psycINFO och PubMed. Efter att samtliga studier granskats framkommer ett resultat med flera olika omvårdnadsinterventioner där majoriteten har förebyggande eller behandlande effekt på postoperativt delirium. De interventioner som resultatet baseras på använder sig av olika sätt som tillståndet kan påverkas av. Några av dessa är geriatrisk konsultation, musikterapi och anhörig som vårdgivare. Postoperativt delirium kan förebyggas och behandlas på olika sätt via omvårdnadsinterventioner. Denna studie kan ge läsaren ökad kunskap om hur tillståndet kan hanteras, dock krävs det ytterligare forskning inom området för att ge ökad evidens och fastställa vilka typer av interventioner som har störst inverkan på postoperativt delirium.

▼ This dissertation investigates the Promoting
Awareness & Improving Relationships program (PAIR), a novel
online intervention that has couples use movies to facilitate
discussions about their own romantic relationships. As an online
program, PAIR incorporates recent trends in the delivery of
relationship interventions and builds on a growing literature of
dismantling studies suggesting that simpler treatments might still
have robust effects on relationship quality. After describing the
development of PAIR, this dissertation both examines the efficacy
of this program and explores its mechanisms using two studies. In
Study 1, an online sample of 168 parenting couples (n=336 parents)
were enrolled in a waitlist RCT of the PAIR program. Couples
completed assessments at 0, 1, 2, and 8+ months, and were randomly
assigned to complete the PAIR program either over the first or
second month. Hierarchical linear modeling analyses found that PAIR
was associated with significant gains in positive feelings about
the relationship for both partners, with additional gains to
individual functioning for women. Mediation analyses highlighted
the roles of time together, relationship awareness, and improved
quality of communication as possible mechanisms of PAIR's effect.
Study 2 attempted to dismantle PAIR by randomly assigning 565
individual participants to four conditions: a no-writing waitlist
condition, unstructured writing, writing guided by specific
relationship prompts, and writing guided by prompts and movie
clips. Multiple regression highlighted a small effect of reflective
writing in general for reducing negative feelings about the
relationship. Mediation analyses focused on both self-report and
features of the writing indicated that reflective writing in
general and the addition of structured prompts in particular
increased relationship awareness, but did not find significant
links between awareness and relationship satisfaction.
Additionally, there was limited support for the link between
individual reflection in any form and improvements in communication
quality. The dissertation concludes with an integration of findings
from both studies to situate PAIR within a larger continuum of
interventions and demonstrate how insight into PAIR's mechanisms
also has implications for our larger understanding of how couples'
therapies work. Finally, future directions are presented for
advancing of our understanding of PAIR.

▼ Manchester University, Kirsten Bond, Doctorate of
Philosophy. September 2013.A Brief Group Psychoeducation (PE)
Intervention for Patients with Bipolar Disorder.Bipolar disorder
(BPD) is associated with negative health outcomes and high relapse
rates and group psychoeducation (PE) is recognised as an effective
intervention when used in conjunction with pharmacological
treatment. Unhealthy beliefs and attitudes have not been measured
or related to outcomes in group PE and the mechanism for how PE
exerts its effect are unidentified. Aims:a. An adapted group
psychoeducation intervention will change (improve) unhealthy
personal beliefs about illness and attitudes towards medication
when compared to a treatment as usual group.b. Changes in unhealthy
personal beliefs and attitudes will be maintained overtime (a 12
month follow up period). c. People who subsequently relapse
compared to those who do not relapse, will have less improvement in
their unhealthy personal beliefs about illness and attitudes
towards medication from PE.d. An evaluation of the efficacy of
psychoeducation in a systematic review for bipolar disorder in
preventing relapse and other outcomes will identify factors that
relate to clinical outcomes. Methods:A 10 session PE intervention
was adapted and 38 participants with bipolar disorder I or II
(using DSM-IV criteria) were recruited from a Specialist Affective
Disorders Service. A waiting list assessment time was used as a
parallel group control and a longitudinal study took place over a
12 month follow up period in all participants once they had
received the intervention. A mirror image study reviewed case notes
to identify relapse 12 month pre versus post intervention.
Assessments measuring, beliefs and attitudes, mood symptoms and
satisfaction where carried out, 8 weeks prior to intervention
(waiting list), pre intervention, and 6 and 12 months post
intervention. Results Summary: The waiting list control comparison
showed significant improvement in attitudes measured by the
Personal Beliefs about Illness Questionnaire (PBIQ) and Drug
attitude Inventory (DAI) and symptoms and functioning. Beliefs on
all domains of the PBIQ improved significantly (p<0.001) as did
attitudes toward medication (p<0.001) there were also small but
significant improvements in mood symptoms. In all participants
(n=38) improvements were maintained over the 12 month follow up
period. Nine people relapsed in the 12 months after the
intervention compared with 22 before (p<0.002) and relapsers
improved significantly less than non-relapsers following PE on the
PBIQ (p=0.012) and the DAI (p=0.046).Conclusions:A group PE
intervention reduced unhealthy personal beliefs and attitudes, both
manic and depressive relapse and improved functioning. Improvements
are maintained over time except adherence which remained unchanged.
The amount of improvement in the PBIQ and DAI is related to relapse
with non relapsers improving more than relapsers. The systematic
review provides reasonable evidence that psychoeducation is at
least modestly…

▼ Neste estudo foram analisadas as concepções sobre o câncer e o seu tratamento no contexto educacional, sob dois aspectos: no hospital e na escola através da intervenção ativa do profissional farmacêutico. No ambiente hospitalar foi eleito o Serviço de Farmácia do Hospital Universitário de Santa Maria, no setor de Quimioterapia. Foram escolhidos os pacientes que faziam uso do medicamento mesilato de imatinibe, indicado para leucemia mielóide crônica (LMC). Em relação aos pacientes, aplicou-se um questionário inicial, objetivando conhecer o que eles sabem sobre a sua doença, o tratamento e ação do medicamento, com retorno posterior de acordo com suas dúvidas e dificuldades por meio de recursos como: folders e outros materiais explicativos. Nas escolas os principais objetivos visavam conhecer o que os alunos sabem sobre o câncer e alertar sobre as maneiras e a importância da prevenção e o tratamento. Neste caso, foram usados recursos como questionários, antes e depois de aula explicativa. Os alunos demonstraram certa dificuldade em responder o que é câncer onde ele ocorre ou como pode ser prevenido. Quanto aos pacientes constatou-se que a grande maioria deles apresenta dificuldades para entender sobre sua doença, seu tratamento ou ação do medicamento. Pode-se concluir que o trabalho demonstrou ser proveitoso, tanto nas escolas quanto no hospital e também devido a abrangência que o câncer alcança na atualidade e seria muito importante que se pudesse dar uma continuidade ao mesmo, focando principalmente nas ações educativas e na prevenção. Isso, tanto na escola, como no hospital.
In this study was analysed the conceptions about cancer and its treatment on the educational context under two aspects: in the hospital and at school, though active intervention of the pharmaceutical professional. In the hospital ambient was elected the pharmacy service of Santa Maria university hospital, in the chemotherapy department. The patients who were chosen were using the medicine imatinib mesylate, indicated to chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). In relation to the patients, was applied an initial questionnaire with the purpose to know what do they know about their disease, the treatment and the medicine action, with later return according with their doubts and difficulties, by means of resources like folders and others explanatory materials. At schools the primary goals was aimed to know what the students know about cancer and alert about the ways and the importance of prevention and the treatment. In this case, questionnaires were used as resources, before and after of the explanatory class. The students demonstrated some difficulty to answer what is cancer, where it occurs or how can be prevented. Regarding the patients, was found that most of them show difficulties to understand about their disease, their treatment or the medicine action. It can be concluded that the work demonstrated to be useful, both in the school as in the hospital due to coverage that the cancer reaches in the news and it would be very important to continue to…

▼ Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading direct cause of maternal mortality worldwide, with the majority of deaths taking place in the least developed countries of the world. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have increased rates of PPH due to lack of access to healthcare, inadequate number of care providers and availability of
interventions and resources needed. PPH has four main etiologies: uterine atony, trauma, retained placenta and coagulopathy. The most common and challenging to treat is uterine atony, where a lack of uterine contractility leads to massive hemorrhage postpartum. Specific risk factors have been identified that increase a woman’s risk of developing PPH. Risk factors of PPH can be categorized as biological, demographical and social risk factors. Many people in LMICs experience a lot of the social risk factors like lack of providers, skilled facilities and resources available to them in case of an obstetric emergency. Home births are also a common practice in many LMICs, placing a woman further from any resources she may have had access to if she was at a health facility. PPH can also occur in women without risk factors and requires that providers always be prepared to treat it.
Interventions to treat PPH are well known and encompass both pharmacological and non-pharmacological
interventions that are usually tried in a least to most invasive order. The first line of intervention is often to administer a uterotonic drug, preferably oxytocin. This poses a challenge to LMICs because oxytocin requires a cold-chain storage, which many LMICs countries lack. Therefore, uterotonics and non-pharmacologic
interventions have increasingly been used in these regions. The final and ultimate life saving measure to stop bleeding is a hysterectomy, which is often not available in these rural places where home births take place, and has led to higher mortality rates.
Prevention measures of PPH include increasing antenatal care (ANC) use and practicing active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL) with all pregnancies. Use of ANC and ultrasound technology can help identify the biological risk factors that make a woman more likely to experience PPH. Solutions to lowering the occurrence of PPH in LMICs involve increasing resources and access to healthcare. An important part to increasing access is increasing the number of skilled health facilities and health providers. Community health workers (CHW) and skilled birth attendants (SBA) are vital to increasing the amount and acceptability of care in these regions. These workers are trusted members of the community that can help educate and bring resources to women, as well as women to the resources. Solutions to stopping PPH need to consider the affordability, acceptability and accessibility in order to reach people in remote areas with limited resources. Both immediate short-term
interventions and long-term, longitudinal healthcare reform are necessary to save mothers in LMICs.

▼ Research has identified the important role that effective parent-adolescent communication about sex and relationships signifies in reducing the chances of adolescents engaging in risky sexual behaviour. However, many parents find it difficult to discuss issues related to HIV
prevention at family level because HIV
prevention is inherently linked to sex, which is still regarded as a taboo in some countries, including the country of the study, Swaziland. In addition to cultural barriers related to effective parent-adolescent communication, parents seem to lack the knowledge, approach as well as the confidence regarding communication about sex and relationships.
The purpose of the study was to use appreciative inquiry (AI) to engage parents of adolescents in the design of
interventions to prevent HIV among adolescents in Swaziland. Non-probability, purposive sampling was used to select parents of adolescent children (10-19 years) attending school at the two purposively selected high schools in Manzini. Twenty-four (24), 23 female and 1 male parents took part in AI.
Participatory action research was conducted to involve participants actively in the process of initiating
interventions for preventing HIV among adolescents. The process was guided by appreciative inquiry. Data was collected by means of appreciative interviews, comprising paired and focus group interviews according to different phases of the 4-D cycle of AI. Thematic analysis of data was done throughout the 4-D cycle of AI.
The themes that emerged from appreciative stories of exceptional experiences shared during the discovery phase were perceived gains and open communication. The findings of the dream phase included expressed wishes for open parent-adolescent sexual health communication, support for parents and a community of HIV free adolescents. In the design phase, parents constructed and initiated
interventions for effective parent-adolescent sexual health communication and parental comfort with communication about sex. In the destiny phase, parents made statements, which were based on what they committed to do to prevent HIV among adolescents.; Lucwaningo lukhombisa bumcoka bekukhumisana kahle kwemtali nemtfwana loyinsha ngetindzaba tebundlelwane bebantfu labatsandzanako netekulalana kuze kutsi kunciphe kutsi intsha ingabi sengotini yekutfola ligciwane HIV.

▼ The high prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity in the U.S., and the known association of health consequences as a result of obesity are of concern from a public health perspective. Health inequities exist for African American youth who are at increased risk of obesity compared to other groups. Overweight and obesity and in children are largely preventable and require targeted efforts to address and reverse the present high rates of these conditions. The Childhood Healthy Behaviors Intervention (CHBI) introduced an evidence-based practice initiative that included parental completion of a 10-item Healthy Habits Questionnaire (HHQ) to assess dietary and exercise behaviors, BMI assessment by the primary care provider, and healthy behaviors goal-setting with the provider and parent based on the 5-2-1-0 behavioral goals. Purpose: To improve the consistency of healthcare providers' delivery of healthy behaviors messages targeted at prevention and treatment of childhood overweight and obesity, and to improve consistency of documentation of weight classification. Design: The project design was a non-experimental mixed methods design. The quantitative design was a one-group pre-test-post-test with independent samples; descriptive qualitative data were collected from providers with focused interviews after completion of the intervention timeframe.Methods: Charts reviews of well visits for children 2 through 9 years in independent pre-test (n=267) and post-test samples (n-253) were completed for classification of overweight or obesity based on BMI as indicated by the correct ICD-9 diagnostic code and demographic data on the sample population. A systematic random sample of 50 pre- and 50 post-intervention records from the above sample were reviewed for change in practice in documentation of healthy habits assessment and counseling during preventive/well visits. HHQ surveys (n=428) collected from the pilot and intervention phases were analyzed for frequency of dietary and activity behavior responses. Focused interviews (n=12) were conducted to elicit provider satisfaction responses to open-ended questions regarding impressions of the intervention and were analyzed for content and themes.Results: Providers demonstrated a large change in assessment of health habits and goal-setting of healthy behaviors, improvement in the recognition of overweight and obesity with correct diagnostic coding for BMI, and satisfaction with the time needed to perform the intervention with an improved patient habit assessment. Demographic data and HHQ survey data provided important information about the sample population to inform future practice. Conclusion: The CHBI improved the consistency of provider clinical practice in the delivery of healthy behaviors assessment and counseling targeted at the prevention and treatment of childhood overweight and obesity.

▼ Introduction: There is ample evidence supporting the application of gatekeeper training programs toward suicide
prevention efforts (e.g., Cross, Mattieu, Cerel, & Knox, 2007; Wyman, Inman, Brown, Cross, Schmeelk-Cone, & Pena, 2008). However, recent studies (e.g., Chen, Gibbs, & Moore, 2009; Keller et al., 2009) suggest that knowledge and self-efficacy may significantly decline over time. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate two
interventions that could boost gatekeepers' confidence in their ability to intervene. Two different intervention videos were created in collaboration with key members of the suicide
prevention community in Colorado. The
interventions were rooted in self-efficacy theory (SET; Bandura, 1977) which has been found to improve self-efficacy. Method: Data were collected at pre-test and post-test. Gatekeepers (N = 783) who took part in gatekeeper training (e.g., Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, ASIST; and Question, Persuade, Refer, QPR) were randomly assigned into one of three groups: (a) 6-minute treatment video, (b) 10-minute treatment video, and (c) 6-minute control webinar. Four scales were developed for this study and included questions adapted from similar studies (e.g., Lent, Lopez, & Bieschke, 1991; Usher & Pajares, 2006). To handle missing data at the post-test (n = 24), an expectation maximization (EM) algorithm was utilized for this study. Results: The majority of participants (N = 124) were female (83.1%), were more likely to have taken ASIST training (57.3%), and ranged in age from 23 to 81 years old. Findings indicate that there were no significant differences in self-efficacy between the treatment groups (F(3, 120) = .07, p = .935, ηp2= .001) or within the treatment groups (λ= 0.99, F(1, 122) = 0.36, p = .696. Despite the ineffective treatments developed for this study, the multiple linear regression models that were conducted support the application of self-efficacy theory in the context of suicide
prevention training. For instance, one of the models explained 62% of the variance in self-efficacy outcomes. Furthermore, physiological and affective states and vicarious experience were found to make independent contributions to self-efficacy outcomes. These findings suggest that SET is relevant for suicide
prevention. Discussion and Implications: This study created and evaluated two post-training
interventions. Given that SET was found to significantly contribute to self-efficacy outcomes, this theory may be useful in the development of future gatekeeper post-training
interventions. In spite of the limitations of this study (e.g., low sample size, demand characteristics), these findings may help researchers and the suicide
prevention community better understand and develop
interventions that may increase gatekeepers' confidence to intervene with individuals at risk for suicide.

▼ All human beings eat food, but not always with the same intention. For many people, food can bring a feeling of comfort, at least in the short-term. As a result, some people turn to food in an attempt to heal emotional problems. The term ‘emotional eating’ has been defined as eating in response to emotional cues, often as a coping response to negative emotions like stress, boredom, loneliness, chronic anger, anxiety, frustration, and so on. Emotional eating behavior can affect the overall healthiness of a person in both the short and the long-term. If untreated, it may lead to food addictions and even obesity. The aim of this project is to transform the current mindless and impulsive eating practice into an experience that cultivates awareness regarding emotional responses and eating behavior. The human-centered design approach will lead to come up with design interventions creating attitudinal and behavioral change on emotional eaters. As a result of this self-initiated research & design project, two interventions were designed to tackle emotional eating behavior; Smash & Crack. These are special snack containers which work as mediators between impulsiveness and food by bringing a physical interaction. They aim to enable emotional eaters to express/alleviate current emotional distress before reaching craved food via behavioral expressions. Thanks to interactions, impulsiveness is transformed into mindfulness. As a conclusion, 'a mindful moment of indulging' prevents overeating of comfort foods and eliminates accompanying negative feelings.

▼ Bipolar disorder (BPD) is associated with negative health outcomes and high relapse rates and group psychoeducation (PE) is recognised as an effective intervention when used in conjunction with pharmacological treatment. Unhealthy beliefs and attitudes have not been measured or related to outcomes in group PE and the mechanism for how PE exerts its effect are unidentified. Aims: (a). An adapted group psychoeducation intervention will change (improve) unhealthy personal beliefs about illness and attitudes towards medication when compared to a treatment as usual group. (b). Changes in unhealthy personal beliefs and attitudes will be maintained overtime (a 12 month follow up period). (c). People who subsequently relapse compared to those who do not relapse, will have less improvement in their unhealthy personal beliefs about illness and attitudes towards medication from PE. (d). An evaluation of the efficacy of psychoeducation in a systematic review for bipolar disorder in preventing relapse and other outcomes will identify factors that relate to clinical outcomes. Methods: A 10 session PE intervention was adapted and 38 participants with bipolar disorder I or II (using DSM-IV criteria) were recruited from a Specialist Affective Disorders Service. A waiting list assessment time was used as a parallel group control and a longitudinal study took place over a 12 month follow up period in all participants once they had received the intervention. A mirror image study reviewed case notes to identify relapse 12 month pre versus post intervention. Assessments measuring, beliefs and attitudes, mood symptoms and satisfaction where carried out, 8 weeks prior to intervention (waiting list), pre intervention, and 6 and 12 months post intervention. Results Summary: The waiting list control comparison showed significant improvement in attitudes measured by the Personal Beliefs about Illness Questionnaire (PBIQ) and Drug attitude Inventory (DAI) and symptoms and functioning. Beliefs on all domains of the PBIQ improved significantly (p<0.001) as did attitudes toward medication (p<0.001) there were also small but significant improvements in mood symptoms. In all participants (n=38) improvements were maintained over the 12 month follow up period. Nine people relapsed in the 12 months after the intervention compared with 22 before (p<0.002) and relapsers improved significantly less than non-relapsers following PE on the PBIQ (p=0.012) and the DAI (p=0.046). Conclusions: A group PE intervention reduced unhealthy personal beliefs and attitudes, both manic and depressive relapse and improved functioning. Improvements are maintained over time except adherence which remained unchanged. The amount of improvement in the PBIQ and DAI is related to relapse with non relapsers improving more than relapsers. The systematic review provides reasonable evidence that psychoeducation is at least modestly effective in preventing relapse in bipolar disorder, with the strongest evidence for reducing overall and manic relapse.

▼ This thesis examined the effectiveness of a text message-based intervention on improving sleep habits among a national sample of young adults. Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between sleep measures and adiposity (i.e., body mass index (BMI) and weight status) were also examined. Longitudinal data were collected from 129 young adult smokers (mean age = 21.8 years; mean BMI of analytical sample = 25.4 kg/m2) enrolled in a smoking cessation study. Sleep measures were self-reported and assessed using items adapted from valid and reliable indices. No significant intervention effects were observed among the total sample or among adequate sleepers (≥ 6 hours/night). Among short sleepers (< 6 hours/night), participants who received text messages about sleep/physical activity reported getting significantly more sleep on work/school nights at follow-up, as compared to those who received text messages focused on smoking cessation. In our secondary objective analyses, a significant inverse association was found between sleep quantity on non-work/non-school nights and both BMI and weight status in the cross-sectional models; however, the association with BMI was no longer significant after adjustment for covariates. No significant longitudinal associations were found. This study provides preliminary evidence that a text message-based sleep intervention may be a promising approach for improving sleep habits among young adults, especially short sleepers, and should be further explored as a novel approach for obesity
prevention.

The rationale for this exploratory study is to provide schools in India with a preventive service delivery model that aids early identification, provides evidence-based early
interventions, and can also be used in identification of Specific Learning Disability. The present study aims to provide an insight into the process of instituting a Response to Intervention model in a school in Mumbai, India. Twenty-four at-risk participants were selected from 104 students screened for reading problems. Participants were assigned to one of three groups (A, B, or C) for Tier 2 reading intervention sessions. To assess participants’ academic progress, the Beginning Phonics Assessment (BPA) and Primary Phonics Assessment (PPA) were administered pre- and post-intervention. To evaluate the internal consistency of the overall test scores, Cronbach’s coefficient alpha and split-half method were applied. The impact of Direct Instruction intervention on reading skills and the duration and length of intervention on reading skills were assessed via t tests. Graphic display of each participant’s progress monitoring scores was used to permit visual analysis and descriptive explanation. The Reliable Change Index (RCI; Zahra & Hedge, 2010) was also applied individually with participants in Group A and combined Group B/C to assess whether or not the individual’s score change from pre- to post-intervention was statistically significant. The results of the study provide initial evidence for the utility of BPA and PPA with the Indian population. The study also provides evidence for the efficacy of DI reading
interventions within the Indian educational setting. The study also identified the potential areas of challenges that one might face in implementing this model in Indian schools. The results of the study provide initial evidence for employing RTI with schools in India.

Católica Portuguesa, Instituto de Ciências de Saúde de Lisboa.
A Obesidade Infantil é uma situação alarmante e alvo de preocupação a nível mundial,
pelo que é importante direcionar medidas no âmbito da prevenção e promoção de saúde
para combater os valores crescentes desta epidemia.
Desta forma, a temática que norteou o percurso de estágio foi a prevenção da obesidade
infantil, seguindo a linha de pensamento da Promoção de Saúde desenvolvido por Nola
Pender que fundamentou todo o percurso e atividades desenvolvidas.
Este relatório tem como objetivos: a) expor uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura
desenvolvida sobre a temática de eleição; b) apresentar os contextos de estágio, os
projetos e atividades desenvolvidas; c) descrever as estratégias e conhecimentos
mobilizados do exercício profissional da autora para o desenvolvimento de
competências a nível pessoal e profissional; d) identificar as principais competências
adquiridas e desenvolvidas no que respeita ao âmbito de atuação do Enfermeiro
Especialista em Saúde Infantil e Pediátrica; e e) analisar de forma crítica e reflexiva
todo o percurso desenvolvido.
A unidade curricular estágio ocorreu em locais de assistência à criança/família,
nomeadamente num centro de saúde, numa unidade de cuidados intensivos neonatais e
num serviço de urgência pediátrica. No presente relatório consta uma descrição das
atividades realizadas nos diferentes módulos, onde se destaca no Módulo I (ACES IX
Rio de Mouro) a realização de sessões de educação para a saúde junto de crianças em
idade pré-escolar e escolar; no Módulo III, na UCIN, a promoção do aleitamento
materno e no SUP do HFF, a promoção de uma alimentação saudável junto da
criança/família. Por último, foi realizada uma reflexão crítica sobre os conhecimentos
mobilizados e as competências desenvolvidas, das quais se destacam como relevantes
neste percurso “assiste a criança/jovem com a família, na maximização da sua saúde”
e “presta cuidados específicos em resposta às necessidades do ciclo de vida e de
desenvolvimento da criança e do jovem” (Ordem dos Enfermeiros, 2010b: p.2).
The report was developed as part of the Master in Pediatric Nursing from Portuguese
Catholic University’s Institute of Health Sciences of Lisbon.
Child obesity is an alarming problem and a global concern so it is important to establish
strong measures in health prevention and promotion in order to contest its increasing
values and epidemic status.
Thus, the subject that guided the internship roadmap was the prevention of child
obesity, following the line of thought of Health Promotion developed by Nola Pender
which grounded the entire journey and activities.
This report aims to: a) expose a systematic review of the literature regarding the chosen
subject; b) present the internship contexts, projects and enrolled activities; c) describe
the strategies and knowledge applied from author’s…

▼ Studies indicate that, except for anger, many men tend to avoid expressing their feelings, especially those feelings indicative of personal vulnerability and emotional dependency (Levant, Hall, Williams, & Hasan, 2009). Men are frequently portrayed as lacking the ability to recognise, own and find words with which to express their feeling experiences; this is captured by the term alexithymia (Levant, Hall, Williams, & Hasan, 2009). Defined by ‘restrictive emotionality’, alexithymia literally indicates ‘without words for emotions’. Roland Levant has contended that men who are strongly influenced by ideas of traditional masculinity tend to be alexithymic (Levant, Hall, Williams, & Hasan, 2009).
The central aim of this study was to focus on and understand the emotional experiences of participants of all-male or gender-homogenous group psychotherapy of this study. The study used a qualitative approach to understand how men emotionally engage or do not engage and express their emotions. Men who had been in all-male group psychotherapy were purposively selected to participate in this study. In-depth interviews guided by a semi-structured questionnaire were conducted and analysed according to the thematic analytic method.
This study explored and described the accounts of lived emotional engagements of male participants in an all-male psychotherapy group. The study sought to highlight the significance of an explicit masculine framework with male emotions within a framework of non-deficit assumptions. The non-deficit approach to men privileges the strengths and unique contributions that men make as partners and fathers (Dollahite & Hawkins, 1998).

This study aspired to demonstrate that a gender-conscious model in working with male emotions enhances men’s capacity for a quality and depth of emotional engagement that echoes the more optimistic research on the male capacity for self-reflection and openness to subjective transformation (Kiselica, 2003).

▼ Degree awarded: Ph.D. Psychology. The Catholic University of America
The Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality framework (CAMS; Jobes, 2006) has amassed more consistent empirical support to date than most other suicide-focused psychosocial approaches for actively treating adult patients. This support has led to multiple variations of CAMS training being delivered to mental health practitioners across several settings. However, no research has examined the extent to which such training impacts participants' self-reported adherence to the CAMS therapeutic philosophy and recommended CAMS practice behaviors, or whether adherence varies as a function of contextual variables (i.e., the type of training received, therapist factors, and primary work setting/agency support). The present study was designed to address this gap, using an online survey of 120 practitioners who completed some form of CAMS training or read the CAMS manual with the intention of applying it in clinical practice. Results indicated moderate to high adherence to the CAMS therapeutic philosophy, which is comparable to other studies gauging the impact of suicide-focused training. Similarly, participants reported relatively high adherence to CAMS practice, in line with other suicide-focused training studies and, in fact, higher than findings on adherence to interventions for other psychiatric issues. Older and more experienced clinicians, those with doctoral degrees, and those whose work was guided more from a CBT perspective had higher adherence to the CAMS therapeutic approach. Additionally, adherence to CAMS philosophy as measured by comfort using CAMS-consistent statements was higher for men, those with more of a CBT orientation, clinicians who received more intensive training, and those working in outpatient or Veterans Administration medical centers as opposed to counseling centers. Finally, therapist confidence in using CAMS with patients was positively related to both adherence types. On the whole, adherence to philosophy and practice did not vary consistently as a function of any contextual variable, which suggests that practitioners receiving CAMS training can successfully subscribe to the CAMS therapeutic philosophy and implement CAMS-specific practices regardless of their broader contexts. Future investigations of CAMS training should assess self-reported CAMS-related attitudes and beliefs before and immediately after training, as well as actual behavior change in clinical practice.

▼ Background By 2025 obesity rates are predicted to rise in Australia by 65% despite the myriad substantial efforts of a multiplicity of
interventions and strategies from the public health sector, particularly those at the community or small unit level. Childhood obesity often persists into adulthood, and these strongly established links to adult obesity along with all the attendant risks, costs and consequences make childhood a natural starting point for a closer examination of
prevention literature. Public health
interventions are usually implemented directly by government agencies and so the impact of these
interventions tends to be measured in observational, rather than experimental, evidence and may not be captured in traditional academic published sources. There is, therefore, a need to determine whether this non-traditional (grey, commercially unpublished) literature is being actively sought when evaluating the effectiveness of public health
interventions; and also whether the inclusion of grey literature has an impact on the conclusions (outcomes) of these SRs. Objectives The objectives of this systematic review were to evaluate (i) use of grey literature in systematic reviews on the
prevention of childhood obesity, as well as (ii) to determine the impact of grey literature on the findings of these systematic reviews. Methods Inclusion criteria Types of studies Systematic reviews of
interventions to prevent obesity among children, where there was either a meta-analysis, narrative summary or tabular presentation of results. Types of participants Children aged two to 18 years without (at baseline) a diagnosis of obesity or eating disorders, or co-morbid conditions that pre-dispose to obesity. Types of intervention(s) Systematic reviews of public health
interventions aimed at obesity
prevention that may be applied at the population, community (including schools) or primary care level that searched one or more grey literature source and/or included one or more grey literature study. These were referred to as ‘grey’ systematic reviews. Types of comparators Systematic reviews of public health
interventions aimed at
prevention of obesity in children that (1) did not search one or more grey literature sources, and/or (2) did not include one or more grey literature studies. These were referred to as ‘black’ systematic reviews. Types of outcomes Primary: Obesity
prevention measured according to body mass index (BMI, weight/height²) as calculated against a suitable growth reference. Outcomes were grouped according to the type of
prevention intervention implemented, and by the presence or absence of grey studies included in the systematic review. Secondary: Ratio of black to grey eligible systematic reviews; ratio of black to grey studies included in eligible systematic reviews; type of grey literature included in eligible systematic reviews and sources used in the systematic reviews to obtain literature. Search strategy The search strategy that was used sought to find both published and unpublished (grey) systematic…

▼ The HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to affect the lives of many, with African American women being uniquely at risk when compared to women from other racial groups. Black/African American women have a higher proportion of cases at all stages of the virus (CDC, 2016a). The primary form of HIV contraction among this group is by way of heterosexual contact with an at-risk sexual partner. However, Black women may not be fully aware of the potential risks inherit in their sexual relationships. The epidemic calls for approaches, resolutions, and
interventions to stop the spread and increase of diagnoses among African American heterosexual women.
The primary purpose of this study was to test the feasibility and acceptability of a group-based HIV-
prevention intervention for young African American college women (ages 18 to 29). Using the theoretical foundations of Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) and the Theory of Gender and Power (TGP), the intervention educated participants about HIV-related information and transmission, taught communication skills related to assertive expression of safer sex practices, and addressed the unique intrapersonal, interpersonal, and contextual factors that impact Black college women. The intervention was culturally specific, gender appropriate, educational, and engaging. In the pilot study, participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental intervention condition or a no-attention control condition.
Data on primary and secondary variables were collected at baseline and two months post-intervention to test the main hypothesis that the pilot study was feasible and acceptable among the target population. It was expected that the study would demonstrate that the intervention could be successfully carried out and be undertaken on a larger scale in the future. It was also hypothesized that a pilot version of a sex-risk reduction intervention that is gender-appropriate, culturally-relevant and skill-building would show a trend of increased consistent condom use, condom use self-efficacy, sexual communication, sexual relationship power, condom use intentions, and HIV knowledge (secondary measures) compared to the no-attention control group condition. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Measures of mean and variance including standard deviations (SD) and ranges were used to describe the full range of data at baseline and at follow-up across two conditions and at two time points. The outcome data for this study were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS/Mac version 23.0 for IBM PC/MAC and PS/2, SPSS, Inc., Armonk, NY, 2015). Qualitative data in the form of participant and facilitator feedback were used to analyze intervention feasibility and acceptability.
The findings of this pilot study suggest that the delivery of a theoretically-based and culturally-relevant intervention is feasible within a university college setting and that the content of the intervention was accessible to participants. Additionally, there was an overall trend in…

▼ Approximately forty percent of youths’ waking hours are unrestricted and not
committed to activities such as eating, sleeping or going to school. Many of this
free time is spent without companionship or supervision from adults, which puts
them at risk of spending their time out on the streets, where the risk of
succumbing to peer pressure and becoming involved in inappropriate or illegal
activities is increased. The absence of structured activities, stimulation and
support can lead to youth becoming involved in rebellious and unwanted
behaviour, partly due to their continuous search for adventure and excitement.
Learners with Mentally Mild Learning Disabilities (MMLD) can be seen as youth
at risk because of their academic and behavioural problems. Learning disabilities
can increase the risk factors for delinquency and substance dependence.
Previous research suggests that adventure-based experiential programmes
(AEPs), which are highly structured, can thus be a very powerful intervention or
prevention medium to empower youth at risk to overcome obstacles through the
acquisition and practise of skills.
The purpose of the study was firstly to determine what the personal functioning
profile of MMLD youth looks like, which was done in order to gain insight into the
different aspects of the personal functioning, which were focused on when
developing the AEP. The study was secondly done to determine what the role of
an AEP is on the personal functioning of learners with MMLD. Books, journals,
dissertations, theses and internet sources were used to do a thorough literature
review. The literature review was done in order for readers to understand the link
between MMLD youth and an AEP. The literature review gave an introduction to
the phenomenon of MMLD youth and also explained how an AEP could be
beneficial towards them.
A qualitative research design was used by the researcher in the form of an
instrumental case study. Case studies make it possible for the researcher to use
qualitative as well as quantitative constructs for data gathering purposes.
Sampling of participants was done in two steps. A school for Learners with
Special Education Needs (LSEN) (Die Wilge High School) was sampled through
purposeful sampling by means of criterion-based sampling techniques. The
second step was to sample fourteen male learners from Die Wilge High School
through purposive sampling. The personal functioning was determined by using
the Youth at Risk Assessment Scale (YAR3) Questionnaire 3. The researcher
made use of semi-structured, one-on-one interviews and field notes in order to

obtain a clear picture of the content, which was then used to identify the codes.
After the data was analysed four main themes, each with its own categories,
were identified. The themes related to the personal functioning of the youth and

▼ Degree awarded: Ph.D. Psychology. The Catholic University of America
The Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality framework (CAMS; Jobes, 2006) has amassed more consistent empirical support to date than most other suicide-focused psychosocial approaches for actively treating adult patients. This support has led to multiple variations of CAMS training being delivered to mental health practitioners across several settings. However, no research has examined the extent to which such training impacts participants' self-reported adherence to the CAMS therapeutic philosophy and recommended CAMS practice behaviors, or whether adherence varies as a function of contextual variables (i.e., the type of training received, therapist factors, and primary work setting/agency support). The present study was designed to address this gap, using an online survey of 120 practitioners who completed some form of CAMS training or read the CAMS manual with the intention of applying it in clinical practice. Results indicated moderate to high adherence to the CAMS therapeutic philosophy, which is comparable to other studies gauging the impact of suicide-focused training. Similarly, participants reported relatively high adherence to CAMS practice, in line with other suicide-focused training studies and, in fact, higher than findings on adherence to interventions for other psychiatric issues. Older and more experienced clinicians, those with doctoral degrees, and those whose work was guided more from a CBT perspective had higher adherence to the CAMS therapeutic approach. Additionally, adherence to CAMS philosophy as measured by comfort using CAMS-consistent statements was higher for men, those with more of a CBT orientation, clinicians who received more intensive training, and those working in outpatient or Veterans Administration medical centers as opposed to counseling centers. Finally, therapist confidence in using CAMS with patients was positively related to both adherence types. On the whole, adherence to philosophy and practice did not vary consistently as a function of any contextual variable, which suggests that practitioners receiving CAMS training can successfully subscribe to the CAMS therapeutic philosophy and implement CAMS-specific practices regardless of their broader contexts. Future investigations of CAMS training should assess self-reported CAMS-related attitudes and beliefs before and immediately after training, as well as actual behavior change in clinical practice.

▼ Suicide is a complex phenomenon that occurs on a continuum with thoughts of suicide, plans and attempts that can eventually result in death. Suicide is one of the top ten reasons for death in most countries. Governments are challenging healthcare systems to reduce suicide through preventative healthcare. The first paper explores psychological interventions for people with suicidal thoughts and behaviours delivered through technology. It explores the evidence-base for internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, telephone based interventions, CD-ROMs and other Internet-based therapies. Nineteen papers were identified with four papers of good quality evidence supporting Internet-based cognitive behavioural interventions. The second paper is a feasibility and acceptability study which explores a diary and intervention delivered through a mobile phone. Twenty participants were recruited through adult secondary care community mental health teams in the North West of England. High completion rates and low dropout rates were found. Participants rated the technology and interventions high in terms of practicality, ease of use and overall satisfaction with the programme and reported that it was moderately helpful. Preliminary data on effectiveness suggests reactivity to the method in the short term but a reduction in symptoms overall. These results and ESM methodology must be treated with caution for people with suicidal thoughts due to the increase in symptoms found following the intervention. The third paper offers a critical reflection on the first and second papers.

▼ Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Postoperativ ileus är en allvarlig komplikation som kan uppstå, ofta till följd av smärtstillande läkemedel eller inflammation i tarmvävnaden. Tarmmotoriken avstannar och gas- och tarmavgång upphör. Symtomen är kraftiga buksmärtor, kräkningar och utspänd buk. Patienten utsätts för smärta, oro och förlängd sjukhusvistelse. Syfte: Att beskriva omvårdnadsåtgärder sjuksköterskan kan vidta för att förebygga postoperativ ileus samt att beskriva urvalsgrupperna i de inkluderade artiklarna. Metod: En litteraturstudie av deskriptiv design som grundas på elva vetenskapliga artiklar, samtliga med kvantitativ ansats. Huvudresultat: Omvårdnadsåtgärder som tidigt oralt vätske- och födointag, tugga tuggummi, mobilisering, gunga gungstol, akupressur och sjuksköterskeledd information har visats påskynda läkning av tarmen och reducera risken av postoperativ ileus. Omvårdnadsåtgärderna visade bäst resultat gällande tarmljud, tarmrörelser, gas- och tarmavgång och tolerans av normal föda. Slutsats: Omvårdnadsåtgärder har visats ha god effekt vid förebyggande av postoperativ ileus. Tydliga tecken på att tarmen återhämtat sig och att den postoperativa tarmparalysen upphört är gas- och tarmavgång, tarmljud och tarmrörelser, vilket samtliga påskyndas av omvårdnadsåtgärder. Att kontinuerligt ta del av kunskap genom forskning möjliggör för sjuksköterskan att utföra professionell omvårdnad av hög standard. Det är sjuksköterskans ansvar att utföra omvårdnadsåtgärder som förebygger risker, minskar lidande och främjar hälsa.
Abstract Background: Postoperative ileus is a serious complication, often due to pain relief medication or the inflammation of intestinal tissue. Bowel movements stop and the gastrointestinal tract ceases and the resulting symptoms are: severe abdominal pain, vomiting and tensioned abdomen. This result in pain, anxiety and long-term hospitalization for the patient. Aim: To describe nursing interventions which prevent postoperative ileus and describe the selection groups of included articles. Method: A literature study of descriptive design based on eleven articles, all of which take a quantitative approach. Main result: Nursing interventions such as; early oral fluid and food intake, chewing gum, mobilization, swing rocking chair, acupressure and nurse information have been shown to accelerate healing of the intestine and reduce the risk of postoperative ileus. Nursing interventions had best result relating to: bowel sound, bowel movement, defecation and tolerance of normal food. Conclusion: Nursing interventions have been shown effective in the prevention of postoperative ileus. Clear indications of intestinal recovery and postoperative paralysis recovery include first flatus, bowel sound, bowel…

Evaluating the Effects of Ankle-Foot-Orthoses, Functional

▼ This dissertation aimed to evaluate the effectiveness
and drawbacks of promising fall prevention strategies in
individuals with stroke by rigorously analyzing the biomechanics of
laboratory falls and compensatory movements required to prevent a
fall. Ankle-foot-orthoses (AFOs) and functional electrical
stimulators (FESs) are commonly prescribed to treat foot drop.
Despite well-established positive impacts of AFOs and FES devices
on balance and gait, AFO and FES users fall at a high rate. In
chapter 2 (as a preliminary study), solely mechanical impacts of a
semi-rigid AFO on the compensatory stepping response of young
healthy individuals following trip-like treadmill perturbations
were evaluated. It was found that a semi-rigid AFO on the stepping
leg diminished the propulsive impulse of the compensatory step
which led to decreased trunk movement control, shorter step length,
and reduced center of mass (COM) stability. These results highlight
the critical role of plantarflexors in generating an effective
compensatory stepping response. In chapter 3, the underlying
biomechanical mechanisms leading to high fall risk in long-term AFO
and FES users with chronic stroke were studied. It was found that
AFO and FES users fall more than Non-users because they have a more
impaired lower limb that is not fully addressed by AFO/FES,
therefore leading to a more impaired compensatory stepping response
characterized by increased inability to generate a compensatory
step with paretic leg and decreased trunk movement control. An
ideal future AFO that provides dorsiflexion assistance during the
swing phase and plantarflexion assistance during the push-off phase
of gait is suggested to enhance the compensatory stepping response
and reduce more falls. In chapter 4, the effects of a
single-session trip-specific training on the compensatory stepping
response of individuals with stroke were evaluated. Trunk movement
control was improved after a single session of training suggesting
that this type of training is a viable option to enhance
compensatory stepping response and reduce falls in individuals with
stroke. Finally, a future powered AFO with plantarflexion
assistance complemented by a trip-specific training program is
suggested to enhance the compensatory stepping response and
decrease falls in individuals with stroke.

▼ Background: Ontario has the highest number of HIV positive test reports in Canada. Many of the HIV
prevention interventions had a moderate effect on changing unsafe sexual behaviors within the young adult population. Participants’ preferences for such
interventions could be a contributing factor to the moderate effect of the
prevention interventions. Treatment preference is defined as a positive or negative attitude toward a particular treatment. To date few empirical studies examined preferences for educational and cognitive/behavioral
interventions focusing on HIV
prevention for young adults.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is twofold: to examine participants’ preferences for different types of educational and cognitive/behavioral intervention components for HIV
prevention and to explore socio-structural, psychological and intervention related factors that affect participants’ preferences for intervention.
Design: The study used a cross-sectional mixed methods design. The data were collected using a face-to-face interview. Structured and open-ended questions were used to inquire about participants’ preferences for intervention.
Sample: The sample consisted of 150 young adults ranging in age from 18 to 39 years, and able to speak and read English. The sample was recruited from the Greater Toronto Area.
Measures: The measures included an adapted questionnaire to elicit participant preference for intervention, the multi-dimensional locus of control questionnaire, AIDS health locus of control questionnaire and standard demographic questions.
Analysis: Descriptive statistics were used to examine preferences for intervention components. Regression analysis was done to explore the relationships between the selected factors and participants’ preferences for intervention.
Findings: All 150 participants had a preference for an HIV
prevention intervention. In terms of preference for treatment type, 64% preferred an intervention that incorporated a combination of educational and cognitive-behavioral components. Specifically, 23% preferred the intervention to incorporate all three components: educational information, communication skills and goal attainment. In addition, 49% of the participants’ preferred an intervention that incorporated an average of 1-4 sessions lasting 90 minutes in length. Of the socio-structural, psychological and intervention related factors hypothesized to be associated with participants’ preferences for intervention type, components and dose, intervention related factors were found to be the most significant factors related to participants’ preferences.
Conclusions: Young adults preferred to have an HIV
prevention intervention that encompassed a combination of education and cognitive-behavioral components when given the opportunity to choose their preferred
interventions. Providing
interventions that are consistent with participants’ preferences is posited as beneficial as it increases the participants’ sense of control, satisfaction with care, adherence to intervention…

▼ The purpose of this study was to develop a survey instrument to measure parental perspectives of a) childhood obesity locus of control and b) solutions to childhood obesity. Such a measure could facilitate the design and development of
childhood obesity related programs based upon the perspectives and values of parents, vital stakeholders in the lives and health of children. This study utilized a reiterative instrument development model proposed by Benson and Clark (1982) that involved
a series of five pilot tests that provided initial qualitative and quantitative evidence of the reliability and validity of the instrument. A sample of 622 adults (75% 31-50 years; 90% parents) in the state of Georgia, United States, completed working
versions of the newly developed instrument to assist in the establishment of content relevance, item clarity, and initial estimates of instrument reliability. The final questionnaire included 17 potential childhood obesity locus of control items that
were placed on a five-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree. The instrument also included 40 possible childhood obesity prevention strategies dually categorized by CDC Healthy People 2010 focus areas
(CDC, 2000) and Social Ecological Model (Brofenbrenner, 1979) social levels. Respondents rank ordered groupings of the potential solutions in preference of support. Demographic information about the respondents’ age, sex, marital status, educational
attainment, and parental status was collected. Instrument completion time was estimated to be 10 minutes. Exploratory factor analysis of these data revealed four childhood obesity locus of control factors (Internality, Chance-Externality, Powerful Others
Outside the Home, and Powerful Others Inside the Home). These factors accounted for 46% of the total variance explained and held moderately strong alpha coefficients (range, .654 - .718). Descriptive statistics (M, SD, and mode) facilitated the analysis
of rank order data of the solutions to obesity. Initial findings highlight participant propensity to support content specific prevention strategies implemented within stratified social levels. The result of this study is a newly developed instrument that
measures perceptions of childhood obesity locus of control and solutions to childhood obesity.

that occurs on a continuum with thoughts of suicide, plans and
attempts that can eventually result in death. Suicide is one of the
top ten reasons for death in most countries. Governments are
challenging healthcare systems to reduce suicide through
preventative healthcare. The first paper explores psychological
interventions for people with suicidal thoughts and behaviours
delivered through technology. It explores the evidence-base for
internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, telephone based
interventions, CD-ROMs and other Internet-based therapies. Nineteen
papers were identified with four papers of good quality evidence
supporting Internet-based cognitive behavioural interventions. The
second paper is a feasibility and acceptability study which
explores a diary and intervention delivered through a mobile phone.
Twenty participants were recruited through adult secondary care
community mental health teams in the North West of England. High
completion rates and low dropout rates were found. Participants
rated the technology and interventions high in terms of
practicality, ease of use and overall satisfaction with the
programme and reported that it was moderately helpful. Preliminary
data on effectiveness suggests reactivity to the method in the
short term but a reduction in symptoms overall. These results and
ESM methodology must be treated with caution for people with
suicidal thoughts due to the increase in symptoms found following
the intervention.The third paper offers a critical reflection on
the first and second papers.

▼ Essay1 - Parental Social Influence in Childhood Obesity
Interventions: a Systematic Review
The objective of this study is to understand the pathways through which social influence at the family level moderates childhood obesity
interventions. We conducted a systematic review of obesity
interventions in which parents' behaviors are targeted to change children's obesity outcomes, due to the potential social and environmental influence of parents on the nutrition and physical activity behaviors of children. Results for existing mechanisms that moderate parents' influence on children's behavior are discussed and a causal pathway diagram is developed to map out social influence mechanisms that affect childhood obesity. We provide health professionals and researchers with recommendations to leverage family-based social influence mechanisms for increasing the efficacy of the obesity intervention programs.
Essay #2 - Dynamics of Obesity
Interventions inside Organizations: a Case Study of Food Carry-Outs in Baltimore
A large number of obesity
prevention interventions, from upstream (policy and environmental) to downstream (individual level), have been put forward to curb the obesity trend; however, not all those
interventions have been successful. Overall effectiveness of obesity
prevention interventions relies not only on the average efficacy of a generic intervention, but also on the successful Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) of that intervention. In this study, we aim to understand how effectiveness of organizational level obesity
prevention interventions depends on dynamics of AIM. We focus on an obesity
prevention intervention, implemented in food carry-outs in low-income urban areas of Baltimore city, which aims to improve dietary behavior for adults through better food access to healthier foods and point-of-purchase prompts. Building on data from interviews and the literature we develop a dynamic model of the key processes of AIM. We first develop a contextualized map of causal relationships integral to the dynamics of AIM, and then quantify those mechanisms using a system dynamics simulation model. With simulation analysis, we show how as a result of several reinforcing loops that span stakeholder motivation, communications, and implementation quality and costs, small changes in the process of AIM can make a big difference in impact. We present how the dynamics surrounding communication, motivation, and depreciation of
interventions can create tipping dynamics in AIM. Specifically, small changes in allocation of resources to an intervention could have a disproportionate long-term impact if those additional resources can turn stakeholders into allies of the intervention, reducing the depreciation rates and enhancing sustainability. We provide researchers with a set of recommendations to increase the sustainability of the
interventions.

▼ While many school bullying
prevention programs have been designed to thwart school bullying
perpetration, victimization, and physical aggression, empirical
support is limited. To date, few researchers have addressed
bullying within the context of children's cultural systems, and
cultural awareness training has not yet been utilized as a
mechanism to decrease bullying behaviors in the context of school
bullying prevention programs. This study examined
the utility of incorporating multicultural training aimed at
reducing prejudice within the context of school bullying prevention
programming efforts within a diverse educational setting. This
researcher hypothesized that the addition of meaningful culture
curriculum would further reduce reports of bullying perpetration,
victimization, and physical aggression. Students
in two fifth-grade classrooms at an urban public school were
randomly assigned to either the intervention or delayed treatment
control group. Students in the intervention participated in Second
Step and culture curricula while other students were included in a
control activity. Those in the delayed treatment control group
received Second Step after the intervention group completed all
programming. Student self-report data was collected at 5 unique
time points and included experiences of bullying perpetration,
victimization, and physical aggression; empathy, self-control, and
engagement social skills; sense of school belonging; subjective
well-being; and valuing/acceptance of one's own and others'
cultures. Hierarchical Liner Modeling was
utilized to analyze data. Results of the multilevel model indicated
that, following implementation of the Second Step intervention, a
significant slope decrease in the amount of bullying perpetration
for students in the intervention compared to control students
(β16 = -.05, SE = .02, z = -2.23, p < .05). In
addition, data illustrated a significant slope increase in levels
of perceived self-control for students in the intervention group
(β16 = .12, SE = .06, z = 2.10, p < .05). Notably, two
significant classroom by condition interactions were found for
bullying perpetration (β17 = -.14, SE = .05, z = -2.69, p
< .01) and bullying victimization (β17 = -.50, SE =
.25, z = -2.00, p < .05). Thus, invention students in classroom
1 reported significantly lower bullying perpetration and
victimization compared to intervention students in classroom
2. Further, after the addition of cultural
lessons, results showed a significant slope increase for valuing
others' cultures (β16 = .18, SE = .08, z = 2.09, p <
.05), acceptance of others' cultures (β16 = .13, SE = .06,
z = 1.89, p < .05), and perceived self-control (β16 =
.08, SE = .03, z = 2.78, p < .01). Two significant classroom by
condition interactions existed for physical aggression
(β17 = .18, SE = .06, z = 2.93, p < .01) and subjective
well-being (β17 = -.40, SE = .17, z = -2.41, p < .05)
wherein intervention students in classroom 1 reported significantly

Toward a conceptual model of ‘the act’; an exercise in theory generation in the problematic space of school-based HIV prevention through behaviour change intervention.

▼ Health outcomes, whether due to infectious disease vectors or so-called diseases of lifestyle, appear to be the consequence of human behaviour. Simple behaviours such as wearing a condom, eating a balanced diet, or regular health screening appear to hold the key to drastically reducing global mortality and morbidity. And yet health
interventions premised on behaviour change often fail to demonstrate significant effect on health outcomes. Perhaps we do not understand what behaviour is in the first place. I aimed to posit a conceptual model of ‘the act’, a unit through which to re-understand human behaviour, as a first step toward more effective
interventions.
The overall design was theory-generative research, including: (a) a critical review of three prominent cognitive behaviour change theories, (b) an applied exploration of the research philosophical implications of theory generative research, (c) a discourse analysis of assumptions about behaviour in school-based HIV
prevention in Africa, (d) a critical analysis of assumptions about young people’s sexual behaviour in two school-communities in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Arica, and (e) a comparative description of a normative and an alternative model of ‘the act’.
I described the symphonic model of ‘the act’ for behaviour change intervention design. The symphonic model is premised on five assumptions about the ontology of behaviour: (1) intention follows the act, (2) the act is a synthesis of possibility, not a derivative eventuality, (3) the act is marginally predictable through imposing narratives of intentionality, (4) time is a necessary frame for imposing narrative intentionality onto the act, and (5) consummation of the act is always dialogically interpersonal. I demonstrated how these assumptions could be represented in a graphic model of the components of the act and the interaction of these components with each other. Finally, I presented how the symphonic model of the act could be applied to school-based HIV
prevention in Africa.
The symphonic model of the act is a viable avenue for further research. This should include practical demonstrations of its application. Future development should also include the expansion of the conceptual model into a theoretical framework – integrated with existing theories of behaviour and psychology.
