Personal factors underlying resilience: development and validation of the Resiliency Questionnaire for Adults

Resilience outcomes following significant adverse events are related to certain personal attributes, termed resiliency factors. This study aimed to adapt the Prince-Embury resiliency model, developed with children and adolescents, to adult populations. To that end, the Resiliency Questionnaire for Adults (RQA) was developed, consisting of nine characteristics organised around three factors: Sense of Mastery, Sense of Relatedness and Emotional Reactivity. The questionnaire adequacy was tested in adults from both general and health-distressed populations (N = 430) through reliability, confirmatory factor, cross-validation and multiple-group analyses. Criterion validity was assessed via path analysis with latent variables to predict resilience outcomes. The RQA scores were reliable and the three-factor model fitted the data well. The three resiliency factors predicted two-thirds of the variance in resilience. This questionnaire constitutes a reliable and valid assessment of personal factors underlying resilience.

The impact of extrinsic demographic factors on Cantonese speech acquisition

This study modeled the associations between extrinsic demographic factors and children's speech acquisition in Hong Kong Cantonese. The speech of 937 Cantonese-speaking children aged 2;4 to 6;7 in Hong Kong was assessed using a standardized speech test. Demographic information regarding household income, paternal education, maternal education, presence of siblings and having a domestic helper as the main caregiver was collected via parent questionnaires. After controlling for age and sex, higher maternal education and higher household income were significantly associated with better speech skills; however, these variables explained a negligible amount of variance. Paternal education, number of siblings and having a foreign domestic helper did not associate with a child's speech acquisition. Extrinsic factors only exerted minimal influence on children's speech acquisition. A large amount of unexplained variance in speech ability still warrants further research.     

Protective Factors of Suicide and Suicidal Behavior Relevant to Emergency Healthcare Settings: A Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis of Post-2007 Reviews

Suicide is a major public health concern and, with recent societal changes, such as economic and technological changes, there may be emerging protective factors that mitigate suicide risk that are unrecognized in emergency healthcare. This systematic review aims to identify protective factors for suicide that can feasibly be assessed in time-limited emergency healthcare settings. A systematic review of reviews was conducted via PsycINFO, CINAHL and Medline (2007–2015). Reviews were assessed for methodological quality using AMSTAR. A total of 24 reviews met the inclusion criteria and 8 were assessed as high quality and included in a narrative synthesis. Known protective factors were identified (e.g., social support), along with emerging protective factors (e.g., internet support). The review synthesizes recent research evidence on protective factors and discusses their relevance to emergency healthcare.     

济南市学龄期儿童Rutter行为问题自身因素的研究

目的探讨济南市学龄期儿童Rutter行为问题的自身因素。方法应用自编基本情况调查表、Rutter儿童行为问题父母问卷,以整群抽样的方法,抽取济南市某小学在校儿童634人进行调查。按照Rutter父母问卷的判断有无行为问题的标准,共91人存在行为问题,将其自身影响因素与正常儿童进行对照。结果济南市学龄期儿童Rutter行为问题的阳性检出率为14.35%,男生(18.71%)显著高于女生(9.74%)(χ2=10.37,P<0.05);有行为问题的儿童与健康状况、生活自理能力、适应能力、自信心、自尊心、体育运动、作息规律程度、睡眠情况等自身因素显著有关(χ2=8.09～19.81,P<0.05);行为问题的类型与儿童的适应能力有关。结论学龄期儿童的行为问题的发生与自身诸多因素有关,应给予及时干预。     

Association of meteorological factors with suicide

OBJECTIVE: To identify weather factors associated with an increased risk of suicide. In a number of prior studies an influence of meteorological conditions on the incidence of suicide or attempted suicide has been suggested. METHOD: Official data on the suicide cases of the state of Tyrol, Austria, assessed over a period of 6 years (n = 702) were correlated with a number of meteorological factors assessed at eight weather stations. RESULTS: The risk of committing suicide was significantly higher on days with high temperatures, low relative humidity or a thunderstorm and on days following a thunderstorm. The multiple logistic regression analysis left "temperature" and "thunderstorm on the preceding day" as significant factors, even after adjustment for sociodemographic and geographical variables. CONCLUSION: Within the interaction of psychological and environmental influences in the development of suicidal ideation and behaviour, specific meteorological conditions may additionally contribute to the risk of suicide in predisposed individuals.

精神分裂症精神残疾影响因素的研究进展

精神残疾指各类精神障碍持续一年以上未痊愈,存在认知、情感和行为障碍,影响日常生活和社会参与的状态［1］。精神分裂症是引发精神残疾的主要原因,83％的精神分裂症患者最终会出现精神残疾［2］。有研究证实,精神分裂症患者在前驱期已经表现出明显的社会功能缺陷,缺陷程度随着病程进展不断加重,最终出现严重的精神残疾［3］。患者不同程度的精神残疾和治疗费用给家庭和社会带来沉重的心理和经济负担。因此,积极探索精神分裂症患者的精神残疾的影响因素已成为研究热点。现就目前国内外精神分裂症精神残疾影响因素的研究进行归纳总结,将影响因素加以提炼,分为保护性和危险性因素,以期为强化保护性因素、降低危险性因素,改善患者的社会功能,延缓精神残疾提供新的视角。

Psychosocial and clinical predictors of unipolar depression outcome in older adults

BACKGROUND: This study examined psychosocial and clinical predictors of depression non-remittance among a sample of initially clinically depressed elders. METHODS: Incident and prevalent unipolar depression cases (n = 166) were enrolled into the MHCRC for the Study of Depression in Late Life and followed for 12 months while undergoing treatment using a standardized algorithm. The outcome was remission vs non-remission (<6 vs > 7 on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)) at one-year follow-up. Baseline predictor variables included psychosocial factors, such as four domains of social support, basic and instrumental activities of daily living (ADLs), and clinical factors, which included use of ECT, past history of depression, comorbidities, and antidepressant treatment. RESULTS: At one-year follow-up, 45% of the sample was in remission based upon MADRS scores. In bivariate analyses, non-remitted patients were more likely at baseline to use benzodiazepines, anxiolytic/sedatives, and/or MAO inhibitors than patients in remission, and have more depressive episodes. Among psychosocial factors, non-remitted patients had at baseline, more ADL and IADL problems and decreased subjective social support as compared to patients in remission. In logistic regression analyses more depression episodes, using anxiolytic/sedatives, more IADL problems and decreased subjective social support predicted poor depression outcome after one-year. CONCLUSIONS: While clinical and diagnostic variables were related to improvement, baseline psychosocial factors were also important.
