The Impact

Early findings on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescents, suggest that – despite being at the lowest physical health risk – both their mental health and day-to-day social lives are strongly affected. In this longitudinal study, we assessed changes in adolescent psychopathology symptoms, the quality and quantity of daily-life social interactions, and the relationship between social interactions and psychopathology symptoms before and during the pandemic.A sample of n=173 Flemish adolescents (mean age=16.0 at latest measurement; 89% girls) from the SIGMA cohort was tested between January 2018 - June 2019; and between April 27th - May 10th 2020. Subclinical psychopathology was assessed using the Brief Symptom Inventory-53; daily social interactions were assessed in six-day experience sampling periods with ten daily questionnaires.Multilevel linear and logistic regression analyses indicated lower general psychopathology and anxiety symptoms, beyond age effects; fewer face-to-face social interactions, more online social interactions; and higher-quality face-to-face interactions during the pandemic than before. Negative associations between psychopathology and the quality of face-to-face peer and family interactions were stronger during the pandemic than pre-pandemic.The observed decrease and stability in psychopathology symptoms is surprising and potentially reflects resilience. Although digital communication may buffer much of the quarantine-induced distress, the current results imply that high-quality face-to-face interactions with family and peers may have been more powerful in keeping adolescents resilient. As restrictions are lifted and adolescents’ daily lives and social worlds change, it is crucial to learn more about the longer-term effects of the experienced social deprivation.

The Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the family dynamics of most people worldwide as well as the mode in which students take classes. The impact of such changes on students’ well-being, academic engagement, and general distress remains unknown. Therefore, this study aims to test the structural relations among positive family environment (a measure of Positive Home-Based Parent Involvement [HBI]), subjective well-being (SWB), general distress, and academic engagement, focusing on Mexican high school students. A longitudinal study was conducted covering two time points: before (T1) and during (T2) the COVID-19 outbreak. A sample of 502 students answered questionnaires in T1 whereas 111 did so in T2. Analyses were conducted using Mplus software. Principal results showed that the positive and significant association between positive family environment and SWB did not substantially change from T1 to T2, whereas the relation between positive family environment and academic engagement became stronger. Data revealed that a positive family environment can play an important role in promoting academic engagement among adolescent students despite the risks brought about by sanitary lockdowns and the increase of family interactions. Results are discussed highlighting the importance of positive family environments and HBI on academic outcomes for Mexican high school students.

The Impact

The research main goal is to study patients diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia, more specifically the impact of projective distortion in the self description, and the self-concept disturbance, personality traits and family dynamics, also evaluating the influence of mental representations from both the patient and parents.It is essential to describe the semiology and phenomenology of Paranoid Schizophrenia in adults, the mental representations of these patients and their family psychodynamics. Special attention will be given to self-concept and the representation of family interactions, which several investigations mention as very relevant in Schizophrenia.Projective Distortion is considered to be the result of the interplay of defence mechanisms inside family relationships, conceptualized as an interactional and interpersonal phenomenon.Although there are some studies on the disturbances of self-concept in patients with Paranoid Schizophrenia, it has not been usual to simultaneously analyse both the Projective Distortion operating in the family and its impact on the patient mental representations, something that can be very relevant to therapeutic interventions.There will be presented 5 case studies, using interviews with patients diagnosed with Paranoid Schizophrenia and their parents. These interviews will be conducted and analyzed using the Grounded Theory Method. That analysis aims to isolate significant conceptual categories, and to build a theoretical model which allows the understanding of Projective Distortion.

The Impact

Shame, a central emotion in borderline personality disorder (BPD), has been overlooked despite its’ relationship to self-injurious behaviour, chronic suicidality, self-esteem, quality of life, and angry-hostile feelings. Patients describe shame when explaining acute feelings of emotional pain. There is a paucity of research exploring the impact of shame on the person with BPD's sense of self and behaviors. BPD symptoms may be the expression of and defenses against this painful emotion. Shame-proneness is related to anger arousal and the tendency to externalize attributions for one's own behavior by blaming others or not taking responsibility for one's behavior. The relationship between shame-proneness and BPD has important implications for treatment. TARA for BPD, an educational and advocacy organization, developed a Family Psycho-education program teaching how shame is often the common denominator of BPD responses, triggering escalations, emotional shifts, volatile reactions, anger and misperceptions. Shame is the response to perceived negative evaluations (judgment, criticism, or blame) and general misinterpretation of social situations. Shame is an impediment to thinking clearly, exaggerates ambiguity and overwhelms cognitive ability in the moment. As shame is often confused with guilt, raising awareness of shame responses is essential for improving family relationships. Families can learn to recognize shame responses and implement evidence based techniques from dialectic behavior therapy (DBT) and mentalization based therapy (MBT) to decrease its’ impact on their loved one with BPD. Demonstration of methodology to address shame in family interactions and data from a TARA Internet survey of The Experience of Shame will be presented.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

The Impact

The confinement experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a rethink of the teaching-learning process to which teachers have responded without planning and instead using their resources. This study aims to analyze the relationships between work-family interactions, technostress, and perceived organizational support in teachers during the confinement period in Spain that began in March 2020. An online survey was administered to 640 pre-school, primary, and secondary school teachers. Positive reciprocal work-family interactions and their relationship with organizational support were found, with differences according to gender, with women showing a more negative perception of the impact on the family. There were no marked levels of technostress in the overall sample, although higher levels of perceived ineffectiveness and skepticism were found in teachers aged 46 years or older. Teachers in private and subsidized schools showed a higher level of perceived support than those in public schools. There is a need to continue this work to verify the values of these dimensions in other contexts and to apply institutional measures and public policies to improve these indicators in this group.

Background Heart failure is rising in prevalence but relatively little is known about the experiences and journey of patients and their caregivers. The goal of this paper is to present the symptom and symptom impact experiences of patients with heart failure and their caregivers. Methods This was a United States-based study wherein in-person focus groups were conducted. Groups were audio recorded, transcribed and a content-analysis approach was used to analyze the data. Results Ninety participants (64 patients and 26 caregivers) were included in the study. Most patients were female (52.0%) with mean age 59.3 ± 8 years; 55.6% were New York Heart Association Class II. The most commonly reported symptoms were shortness of breath (81.3%), fatigue/tiredness (76.6%), swelling of legs and ankles (57.8%), and trouble sleeping (50.0%). Patients reported reductions in social/family interactions (67.2%), dietary changes (64.1%), and difficulty walking and climbing stairs (56.3%) as the most common adverse disease impacts. Mental-health sequelae were noted as depression and sadness (43.8%), fear of dying (32.8%), and anxiety (32.8%). Caregivers (mean age 55.5 ± 11.2 years and 52.0% female) discussed 33 daily heart failure impacts, with the top three being reductions in social/family interactions (50.0%); being stressed, worried, and fearful (46.2%); and having to monitor their “patience” level (42.3%). Conclusions There are serious unmet needs in HF for both patients and caregivers. More research is needed to better characterize these needs and the impacts of HF along with the development and evaluation of disease management toolkits that can support patients and their caregivers.

The Impact

Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate nasoalveolar molding (NAM) in the context of burden of care defined as physical, psychosocial, or financial burden on caregivers. Search Methods: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, 5 databases were searched from inception through December 24, 2019, for keywords and subject headings pertaining to cleft lip and/or palate and NAM. Eligibility Criteria: Clinical studies on NAM with reference to physical (access to care, number of visits, distance traveled), psychosocial (caregiver perceptions, family interactions, breast milk feeding), and financial (direct and indirect costs) burden were included. Data Collection and Analysis: Study selection was performed by 2 independent reviewers. Results: The search identified 1107 articles and 114 articles remained for qualitative synthesis. Burden of care domains were discussed but not measured in 43% of articles and only 25% assessed burden of care through a primary outcome. Of these, 20 articles reported on physical, 8 articles on psychosocial, and 12 articles on financial burden. Quality of evidence is limited by study design and risk of bias. Conclusion: Nasoalveolar molding has been indiscriminately associated with burden of care in the literature. Although NAM may not be the ideal treatment option for all patients and families, the physical considerations are limited when accounting for the observed psychosocial advantages. Financial burden appears to be offset, but further research is required. Teams should directly assess the impact of this early intervention on the well-being of caregivers and advance strategies that improve access to care.

This chapter demonstrates the impact of ethnic entombment practices on the consumption of housing market in a heterogeneous society. It illustrates the dynamics in relationships, either in inter-family interactions or exchanges between ‘the living and the dead'. This signifies an expanded traditional frontiers of stakeholders (e.g., marketers and governments) in the negotiation of consumption in the market. Particularly, the chapter analyses how circumstances of customs and belief systems impact the supply of houses and consequent deterioration of neighbourhoods (e.g., slumming). It draws on narratives gathered from in-depth interviews conducted with eleven informants/gatekeepers undertaken in a large metropolitan city in the South-West region of Nigeria. Findings reveal the interchange between culture and consumption in housing market and how the affective potentiality of a tradition initiates emotive configurations that shape a community's housing stock aesthetic exposition.
