This chapter emphasizes nursing the environment and the family, including their pets, as Connie Paul's advice about nursing in an Indigenous community. It discusses Elder care, which involves consulting Indigenous elders directly, which means protecting their safety as they define it. It also analyzes the reason why consulting with elders in their homes, community, and their environment is important; which has to do with the trauma that many older people in First Nations communities are living with. The chapter cites the Snuneymuxw First Nation health centre that is making changes to the ways that healthcare is provided in order to take the trauma, as well as the existing knowledge of the community, into account. It discusses the provision of care to Indigenous and non-Indigenous clients that increases the circle of care and transforms knowledge to include the wealth of knowledge that resides within the community itself.

AbstractRati fication of the Nisga'a Final Agreement has had an inevitable effect on the conduct of negotiations for First Nations in the British Columbia treaty process. These effects include a general sense of encouragement set against British Columbia's historical denial of First Nation interests, direct support of negotiations, litigation and coping with special interest group resistance to aboriginal progress. This article examines these in fluences in the context of negotiations being conducted by the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation in the Northern interior of British Columbia.

Abstract. Our unit investigates the relationship of emotional processes (experience, expression, and coping), their physiological correlates and possible health outcomes. We study domain specific anger expression behavior and associated cardio-vascular loads and found e.g. that particularly an open anger expression at work is associated with greater blood pressure. Furthermore, we demonstrated that women may be predisposed for the development of certain mental disorders because of their higher disgust sensitivity. We also pointed out that the suppression of negative emotions leads to increased physiological stress responses which results in a higher risk for cardiovascular diseases. We could show that relaxation as well as music activity like singing in a choir causes increases in the local immune parameter immunoglobuline A. Finally, we are investigating connections between migrants’ strategy of acculturation and health and found e.g. elevated cardiovascular stress responses in migrants when they where highly adapted to the German culture.

Rorschach Variables

Abstract. The aim of this study was to collect a Rorschach Comprehensive System (RCS) adult nonpatient sample from Italy using more stringent exclusion criteria and controlling for psychopathology, taking into account the methodological suggestions of Ritzler and Sciara (2008) . The authors hypothesized that: (a) adult nonpatient samples are not truly psychologically healthy, in that a high number of psychopathological symptoms are experienced by participants, particularly anxiety and depression, although they have never been in psychological treatment; (b) significant differences emerge between healthy and nonhealthy groups on Rorschach variables, particularly on CS psychopathological indexes; (c) RCS psychopathological indexes are significantly correlated in the expected direction with scores on psychopathological scales. The results confirmed the hypotheses, indicating the need to collect psychologically healthy samples in addition to normative and nonpatient samples. Because differences were found in the comparison between Exner’s sample (2007) and the healthy group in this study regarding form quality and coping styles, the authors suggest that future research should investigate the construct validity of ambitent style and culturally specific influences on form quality. Moreover, the Rorschach scientific community needs to have more extensive form quality tables, enriched with objects that are currently not included.

Abstract. This research developed a new scale to evaluate Self-Efficacy in Multiple Sclerosis (SEMS). The aim of this study was to investigate dimensionality, item functioning, measurement invariance, and concurrent validity of the SEMS scale. Data were collected from 203 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients (mean age, 39.5 years; 66% women; 95% having a relapsing remitting form of MS). Fifteen items of the SEMS scale were submitted to patients along with measures of psychological well-being, sense of coherence, depression, and coping strategies. Data underwent Rasch analysis and correlation analysis. Rasch analysis indicates the SEMS as a multidimensional construct characterized by two correlated dimensions: goal setting and symptom management, with satisfactory reliability coefficients. Overall, the 15 items reported acceptable fit statistics; the scale demonstrated measurement invariance (with respect to gender and disease duration) and good concurrent validity (positive correlations with psychological well-being, sense of coherence, and coping strategies and negative correlations with depression). Preliminary evidence suggests that SEMS is a psychometrically sound measure to evaluate perceived self-efficacy of MS patients with moderate disability, and it would be a valuable instrument for both research and clinical applications.

Système Intégré

Travaillant avec le Rorschach dans le domaine du diagnostic clinique, nous constatons que le Système Intégré ne comporte pas les catégories de contenu qui nous paraissent intéressantes dans notre recherche sur les types de coping (en référence à la configuration bi-dimensionnelle en 4 styles de coping, 1993: plutôt anxieux, inhibé, sensitif et très anxieux), ou pour la différenciation des catégories cliniques des troubles de la personnalité, en particulier le BPO (défenses primitives de Lerner et Rappaport, modèle bi-dimensionnel de psychopathologie selon Blatt). A partir de la littérature existante (particulièrement Lerner, Rappaport, Blatt, Levine & Spivak), nous avons élaboré une approche intégrale personnelle. Elle se caractérise par des dimensions logiques et une cotation systématique et psychométrique des contenus au Rorschach. Ce faisant, nous avons observé que les contenus au Rorschach peuvent aisément être différenciés en 3 niveaux: spécificité, identité (de l’objet) et distance dans le temps et l’espace. Nous souhaitons dans cet article montrer comment on peut différencier les types de coping inhibé et sensitif. 1) Les inhibés présentent significativement moins de contenus spécifiques que les sensitifs, 2) leurs protocoles comprennent plus de contenus simples (Humain, Animal, Objet) que des contenus mixtes (humain/animal, humain/objet, animal/objet, humain/animal/objet) et 3) les inhibés perçoivent des contenus moins distanciés dans le temps et dans l’espace. Nous avons aussi analysé les données sour l’angle du nombre de réponses. Nous avons trouvé que 92 sur 257 protocoles contenaient moins de 14 réponses et qu’ils ne pouvaient donc valablement être interprétés dans le Système Intégré. Ceci pourrait être une caractéristique de la population „tout-venant“ psychiatrique étudiée, ou de la population européenne en général – ce qui renforcerait l’idée qu’il est indispensable d’établir des normes européennes pour le Système Intégré.

Abstract. The coping scales from the Stress and Coping Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (SSKJ 3–8; Lohaus, Eschenbeck, Kohlmann, & Klein-Heßling, 2018 ) are subscales of a theoretically based and empirically validated self-report instrument for assessing, originally in the German language, the five strategies of seeking social support, problem solving, avoidant coping, palliative emotion regulation, and anger-related emotion regulation. The present study examined factorial structure, measurement invariance, and internal consistency across five different language versions: English, French, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian. The original German version was compared to each language version separately. Participants were 5,271 children and adolescents recruited from primary and secondary schools from Germany ( n = 3,177), France ( n = 329), Russia ( n = 378), the Dominican Republic ( n = 243), Ukraine ( n = 437), and several English-speaking countries such as Australia, Great Britain, Ireland, and the USA (English-speaking sample: n = 707). For the five different language versions of the SSKJ 3–8 coping questionnaire, confirmatory factor analyses showed configural as well as metric and partial scalar invariance (French) or partial metric invariance (English, Russian, Spanish, Ukrainian). Internal consistency coefficients of the coping scales were also acceptable to good. Significance of the results was discussed with special emphasis on cross-cultural research on individual differences in coping.
