Objective: In this study, we investigate the differences between parent and teacher ADHD ratings, and how these ratings relate to perceived stress in children with ADHD. Method: Ratings by parents and teachers with the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham ADHD symptom rating scale (SNAP-IV) were collected from children with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD ( n = 137). Also, information on medication was collected. Children (≥11 years of age; n = 64) were invited to complete the Pressure-Activation-Stress scale. Results: Among girls, but not boys, teacher ratings were significantly lower than parental ratings on all symptom scales. Lower teacher ratings on hyperactivity symptoms were associated with higher levels of perceived stress. Conclusion: The findings suggest a potential gender bias in ratings among teachers. Underrated, and hence underidentified, ADHD problems in the school setting seem to increase the perception of stress in the sense of pressure for both girls and boys.

Objective: To find the influences of mindfulness and self-compassion-based group therapy and compare them with standard treatment outcomes. Materials and Methods: Prospective randomized control trial was conducted on two intervention groups (n=23 for mindfulness and self-compassion group, n=11 for the control group) for seven weeks. Depression-related parameters consisted of the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Thai version, Self-Compassion scale-Thai version (Thai-SCS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-Thai version (Thai-PSQI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Thai version (Thai-HADS), Thai-Perceived Stress Scale-10 (T-PSS-10), Rosenberg self-esteem Thai version, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) Thai version, were collected and compared before and after both treatments. Results: Mindfulness and self-compassion had statistically significant improvement of better depressive rating scale, anxiety, mindfulness & self-compassion, perceived stress scale, self-esteem, and quality of life (p<0.001, 0.001, 0.002, <0.001, 0.005 and <0.001, respectively). Depressive level, anxiety level, mindfulness, and self-compassion, perceived stress scale, self-esteem, and quality of life in both groups were also improved. Nonetheless, there were no significant differences when compared to the mean differences between both groups. Conclusion: Mindfulness and self-compassion intervention improved depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and quality of life.

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini membahas mengenai tingkat kecemasan dan stres yang dialami oleh mahasiswa mengikuti OSCE. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan tingkat kecemasan dan stres pada mahasiswa yang mengikuti OSCE. Metode: Penelitian ini melibatkan 109 responden dengan kriteria inklusi yaitu mahasiswa aktif dan sudah mengikuti ujian OSCE praktikum anak. Penelitian ini menggunakan total sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan yaitu Hamilton Rating Scale Anxiety (HRS-A) dan Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Uji reliabilitas instrumen HRS-A memiliki nilai Cronbanch’s Alpa yaitu 0,752 dan uji reliabilitas instrumen PSS memiliki nilai Cronbanch’s Alpa yaitu 0,706. Data dianalisis secara univariat. Hasil penelitian: mahasiswa yang mengalami kecemasan ringan yaitu 71 (65,14%), kecemasan sedang 19 (17,43%), kecemasan berat 17 (15,6%), dan panik 2 (1,83%. Mahasiswa yang mengalami stres ringan 1 (0,9%), stres sedang 78 (71,6%) dan stres berat 30 (27,5%). Kesimpulan: Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan bisa memberikan informasi bagi institusi pendidikan mengenai gambaran tingkat kecemasan dan stres pada mahasiswa yang mengikuti OSCE. Sebagian mahasiswa mengalami kecemasan sedang berat dan panik sehingga perlu penelitian lanjutan tentang faktor faktor yang mempengaruhi tingkat stres dan kecemasan serta strategi koping yang digunakan dalam mengatasi kondisi stres yang muncul saat melaksanakan OSCE.Kata Kunci: Kecemasan, stres, mahasiswa keperawatan dan OSCE Anxiety and Stress Level in Students Who Take Objective Structure Clinical Examination (OSCE)ABSTRACTThis study discusses the level of anxiety and stress experienced by students following the OSCE. Objective: This study aims to describe the level of anxiety and stress in students who take OSCE. Method: This study involved 109 respondents with inclusion criteria, namely active students who had taken the OSCE examination for their practicum. This research uses total sampling. This research has successfully passed the ethical test. The instruments used were Hamilton Rating Anxiety Scale (HRS-A) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The reliability test of the HRS-A instrument has a Cronbanch’s Alpa value of 0.752 and the reliability test of the PSS instrument has a Cronbanch’s Alpa value of 0.706. Data was analysed with univariate analysis. Results: The results showed that of 109 respondents, students experienced mild anxiety, namely 71 (65.14%), moderate anxiety 19 (17.43%) and severe anxiety 17 (15.6%) and panic 2 (1.83%). The results showed that of 109 respondents, students who experienced mild stress 1 (0.9%), moderate stress 78 (71.6%) and severe stress 30 (27.5%) Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to provide information for educational institutions regarding the description of anxiety and stress levels in students who take part in OSCE Some students experience moderate anxiety and panic, so it is necessary to further research on the factors that influence stress and anxiety levels and coping strategies used in dealing with stress conditions that arise when implementing OSCE.Keywords: anxiety, stress, nursing student and OSCE

The aim of this research is to analyze the relationship between executive functions and adaptive behavior in girls with Fragile X syndrome (FXS) in the school setting. This study is part of a larger investigation conducted at the Hospital Parc Tauli in Sabadell. The sample consists of a total of 40 girls (26 with FXS and 14 control) aged 7–16 years, who were administered different neuropsychological tests (WISC-V, NEPSY-II, WCST, TOL) and questionnaires answered by teachers (ABAS-II, BRIEF 2, ADHD Rating Scale). The results show that there is a greater interaction between some areas of executive function (cognitive flexibility, auditory attention, and visual abstraction capacity) and certain areas of adaptive behavior (conceptual, practical, social, and total domains) in the FXS group than in the control group. These results suggest that an alteration in the executive functions was affecting the daily functioning of the girls with FXS to a greater extent.

Background/objectives Several studies have indicated that stress is associated with common mental disorders, and work stress trebles the risk of developing them. However, a validated assessment tool for measuring and establishing psychological stress correlates in this group of clients remains unavailable. The objectives of the present study were to examine the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (CPSS-10) on people with common mental disorders with different employment statuses and explore its correlates. Methods Two hundred and fifty-two participants with common mental disorders were recruited. The data were analysed through exploratory factor and confirmatory analyses to investigate construct validity. The convergent and discriminant validities were examined based on their correlation with other measures, while the internal consistency was estimated using Cronbach’s α coefficient. A t-test was used to detect differences between groups. The CPSS-10 correlates were explored using multiple linear regression analysis. Results Principal component analysis with varimax rotation yielded two factors, which accounted for 63.82% of the total variance, while confirmatory factor analysis confirmed its factor structure. The CPSS-10 had a positively moderate to strong correlation with other measures, thereby indicating its acceptable convergent and discriminant validities. The internal consistency ranged from acceptable to good for the two subscales and ten overall items, while the item-total correlation was adequate except for the seventh item. There were no group differences in gender nor employment status. Finally, the CPSS-10 predictors were studied. Conclusion The CPSS-10 is a reliable and valid instrument for people with common mental disorders with different employment statuses.
