Wirkung und Wirkfaktoren von psychodramatischem Coaching — Eine experimentelle Evaluationsstudie

Zusammenfassung Diese Studie untersucht, wie Erfolg im Einzelcoaching entsteht und was Psychodrama dazu beitragen kann. Dabei werden zun?chst die vier Berner Wirkfaktoren dargestellt, die im Rahmen einer allgemeinen psychologischen Coachingkonzeption die vier m?glichen Erfolgsstrategien darstellen. über Videoauswertung und schriftliche Befragung aller Beteiligten wurden 35 Einzelsitzungen evaluiert. Dabei zeigten sich die vier Wirkfaktoren tats?chlich als elementar in kurz- und mittelfristig erfolgreichen Coachingprozessen. In dem experimentellen Vergleich wurde das psychodramatische Coaching zudem wesentlich besser bewertet als das Vergleichscoaching, was durch den Ressourcen- und Wachstumsfokus sowie die sehr gute Beziehungskompetenz der Psychodramatiker erkl?rt werden kann. Des Weiteren zeigen die Auswertungen, dass ein dosierter und gezielter Einsatz des psychodramatischen Methodenrepertoires fruchtbarer zu sein scheint als der zeitlich umfassende Einsatz des Psychodramas als Hauptinterventionsmethode.

Summary The present study investigates the process of success development in one-to-one-coaching and examines how the method of psychodrama can contribute to this process. First the four change factors are presented. They represent the four success strategies in a general psychological coaching approach that can be chosen by the coach. Second 35 one-to-one-coaching sessions are evaluated by a video-based rating-system and questionnaires that were filled in by all coaches, clients and employees of the clients. In these analyses the four change factors were shown to be critical for short- and medium-term success. In an experimentally designed assessment the psychodramatic coachings had a considerably better result than the comparative coaching. This outcome could be explained by the focus on resources and growth and the high competence of the psychodramatic coaches to set up an appreciative coaching relationship. The analyses demonstrate furthermore that the well-aimed and specific use of psychodrama methods is more fruitful than its time-extensive use as the main intervention method.

Horizontal advancement flap for lateral dorsal nasal defects

BACKGROUND: Repairing dorsal nasal defects is a frequent challenge for dermatologic surgeons, mainly due to the high frequency of basal cell carcinomas on this site. Obvious scars, mismatched skin and distortion of the nasal contour are the surgical hazards that must be avoided in these cases. AIM: Our aim was to perform surgery involving a simple flap in order to repair medium to large defects on the dorsal side of the nose. METHODS: The dorsal horizontal advancement flap was studied in 12 patients, in order to evaluate the benefits and limits of this surgical procedure. RESULTS: The resulting scars on most of our patients were well-camouflaged among their natural skin lines, and there was neither distortion of the alar contour nor the nostril. CONCLUSIONS: This flap is easy to perform and, in selected cases, provides an outstanding alternative to second-intention healing, full-thickness skin grafts, transposition, rotation and pedicle flaps.     

HLA markers in familial Lichen Sclerosus

Background: Lichen sclerosus (LS) has been identified with increased frequency in families,often associated with HLA markers, mainly DQ7. A genetic co‐etiology seems likely in this setting. Moreover, there is an association of LS with autoimmune disorders, such as the presence of anti‐thyroid peroxidase autoantibodies (anti‐TPO), a hallmark of autoimmune thyroid diseases. Patients and Methods: In 3 families affected by LS, we verified their HLA markers, and identified previously undiagnosed cases of LS and autoimmune disorders. 30 individuals were examined with history, skin biopsy, HLA class I and II typing by PCR‐SSP, and measurement of anti‐TPO, free thyroxine and thyroidstimulating hormones (TSH) levels. Results: There were 8 cases of LS, 50 % of them anti‐TPO+. Autoimmune disorders were found in 40 % (total) and in 87.5 % of those affected. Most common HLA markers were B*15, B*57, CW*03, CW*07, CW*18, DRB1*04, DRB1*07, DRB4*. The three latter have been previously associated with LS. Conclusion: New cases of LS and autoimmune disorders can be detected in first degree relatives of patients with LS. The presence of anti‐TPO antibodies strongly suggests autoimmune thyroiditis. There is intra‐familial association between the haplotype HLA‐B*15 ‐DRB1*04 ‐DRB4* and anti‐TPO,emphasizing their link with thyroiditis. New familial approaches might help to make clear the pathogenesis of LS and its association with autoimmune diseases.     

Methodological issues in conducting research with refugee women: Principles for recognizing and re‐centering the multiply marginalized

Many recent efforts in the field of community psychology have been dedicated to moving from values to action in incorporating diversity into our work. An essential aspect of this goal is designing research that provides opportunities for underrepresented perspectives to be heard. The voices of refugee women, in particular, are not typically incorporated in research, planning for service provision, and policy design. This article explores methodological challenges involved in conducting research with refugee women who are marginalized both within broader U.S. contexts and within their own communities. Six guiding principles are presented: 1) develop strategies for involving marginalized refugee women; 2) consider the advantages and limitations of quantitative and qualitative methodologies and be innovative about combining them; 3) prepare for extensive time and effort for quantitative measure construction; 4) consider gendered decision‐making structures in the lives of refugee women and their potential impact on the research process; 5) plan for refugee women's common triple burden of working outside of the home, managing their households, and adjusting to life in a new country; and 6) attend to refugee women's cultural norms about and unfamiliarity with the interview process. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ketorolac during the induction phase of cyclosporin-A therapy.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine if the concomitant use of ketorolac 0.4% and cyclosporin-A improves patient comfort during the induction phase in treating chronic dry eye disease. METHODS: Patients (n = 52) with clinically diagnosed dry eye were randomized to receive either cyclosporin-A monotherapy twice-daily (BID) or a BID adjunctive regimen of ketorolac, followed by the instillation of cyclosporin-A 10 min later. Study visits were at baseline, week 2, and week 6. At each study visit, patients underwent an evaluation for corneal staining, Schirmer's scores, and tear break-up time tests. Patients were asked to rate ocular comfort on a 4-point scale and to complete the ocular surface disease index (OSDI). Changes from baseline readings were recorded at week-2 and week-6 visits, and final patient success on treatment regimen was evaluated at week 6. RESULTS: After 6 weeks, the mean ocular comfort score of adjunctive patients improved 2.55 +/- 0.95 points, versus 1.53 +/- 0.91 points for monotherapy (P = 0.309). The adjunctive regimen provided significantly greater corneal staining reductions versus monotherapy, mean reduction in staining of 1.74 +/- 0.9, versus 1.27 +/- 0.56 (P = 0.044). CONCLUSIONS: Concurrent ketorolac 0.4% use with cyclosporin-A significantly reduced corneal staining and increased comfort in the induction phase.
