While interest in the relationship between obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and obsessive compulsive personality disorder has increased, there are currently no studies that have examined the presence of obsessive compulsive personality traits (OCPTs) in youth. The current study sought to determine the latent factors and psychometric properties of a modified version of the Childhood Retrospective Perfectionism Questionnaire (CHIRP) and examine the correlates of specific OCPTs (e.g., rigidity, perfectionism) in youth with OCD. Participants included 96 treatment-seeking youth diagnosed with primary OCD (and a parent). Parents and youth completed measures of OCPTs, OCD severity, depression, and disability. A confirmatory factor analysis of the modified CHIRP resulted in a two-factor model: perfectionism and preoccupation with details. The CHIRP and its subscales demonstrated acceptable internal consistency and preliminary evidence for convergent and divergent validity. Obsessive compulsive traits in youth were also found to be associated with the checking, symmetry and contamination symptom dimensions. 相似文献
This study examined (1) adolescent mental health literacy (MHL) and stigma for depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs), and (2) demographic moderators. Participants were 383 high school students (50.9% boys) aged 11–18 years (M?=?14.12, SD?=?1.91) in El Salvador. Participants read vignettes of adolescents with mental health problems and reported on their beliefs about (1) what was wrong with the young person, (2) expected recovery time, (3) help-seeking beliefs and recommendations, and (4) stigma and preferred social distance associated with each condition. Results suggested that recognition of mental health conditions, especially anxiety disorders and OCRDs, was limited, although one third could recognize depression in a peer. Help-seeking attitudes were favorable. Adolescents were only somewhat willing to be affiliated with someone experiencing a mental health problem. Girls showed better MHL and lower stigma than boys. Stigma was lower among those with exposure to mental health problems.

The clinical manifestations and complications of gout vary widely. Early diagnosis is imperative if ideal results of treatment are to be achieved. Acute gout often is confused with rheumatic fever (in the young adult male), pyogenic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or pseudogout. Chronic gout also may be mistaken for rheumatoid arthritis, and the tophi of chronic gout may be overlooked.The author discusses the basic principles in the diagnosis of gout and points out the value of certain diagnostic procedures. 相似文献
The objective of this research is to determine the direct impact of family variables on initial status of a glycosylated hemoglobin A1c test (HbA1c) and HbA1c rate of change, and to determine the indirect effects of family variables on HbA1c through adherence. Study participants were 224 children and their parents who completed baseline measures of diabetes-specific family functioning and separate parent- and child-structured adherence interviews. HbA1c assays were performed at baseline, Year 1, and Year 2. Latent growth curve modeling indicated that, together, disagreement about responsibility for diabetes regimen, critical parenting, parental guidance, and parental warmth predicted initial status of HbA1c through adherence. Individually, critical parenting indirectly predicted initial status of HbA1c. Family variables did not directly predict initial status or rate of change in HbA1c, and did not indirectly predict rate of change in HbA1c over 2 years. Risk for high HbA1c remains elevated over time for children reporting critical parents, but their trajectory does not indicate compounding risk over time. 相似文献
