Patients with non-operated traumatic primary or recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation have equally poor self-reported and measured shoulder function: a cross-sectional study

Background: In this article, the prevalence of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder and the effect of factors such as age, occupation, primary cause and gender on it have been investigated. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the factors related to the frequency of recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation in clients of the Orthopedic Ward of Kashani Hospital, Isfahan City, Iran, in 2017-2018. Methods: The present research is a cross-sectional study. The study population comprised all patients with traumatic and anterior shoulder dislocation referred to Kashani Hospital during 2017-2018. The sampling method in the present study was census. The patients were asked by phone or in person after their presence about the recurrences of dislocations between the beginning of 2017 and the end of 2018. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS version 25. Results: Out of 256 patients, 22% had a recurrence of dislocation. The recurrence rate of dislocation in less than 20 years patients was 40%, and in 20 to 40 years was 63%. The highest recurrence rate of dislocation was reported in the age group of 20 to 40 years in the present study. Based on the present study results, the recurrence rate of dislocation in the age-group of 20-40 years was significantly higher than in other groups. There was no significant relationship between gender and recurrence of dislocation in the subjects (P>0.05). Significance was observed in the primary cause and type of occupation in recurrence of dislocation (P<0.05). Conclusion: The recurrence rate of dislocation in the patients who suffered from dislocations for the first time was 22%. Based on the results, the rate of recurrence of dislocation in the present study was lower than the rate of recurrence of dislocation in similar studies.

Abstract A study by Yaruss and Quesal (2002), based on responses from 134 of 239 ASHA accredited graduate programs, indicated that approximately 25% of graduate programs in the United States allow students to earn their degree without having coursework in fluency disorders and 66% of programs allow students to graduate without clinical experience treating people who stutter (PWS). It is not surprising that many clinicians report discomfort in treating PWS. This cross-sectional study compares differences in beliefs about the cause of stuttering between freshman undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory course in communicative disorders and graduate students enrolled and in the final weeks of a graduate course in fluency disorders.

Set Up

Abstract. Conflict avoidance increases across the adult lifespan. This cross-sectional study looks at conflict avoidance as part of a mechanism to regulate belongingness needs ( Sheldon, 2011 ). We assumed that older adults perceive more threats to their belongingness when they contemplate their future, and that they preventively react with avoidance coping. We set up a model predicting conflict avoidance that included perceptions of future nonbelonging, termed anticipated loneliness, and other predictors including sociodemographics, indicators of subjective well-being and perceived social support (N = 331, aged 40–87). Anticipated loneliness predicted conflict avoidance above all other predictors and partially mediated the age-association of conflict avoidance. Results suggest that belongingness regulation accounts may deepen our understanding of conflict avoidance in the second half of life.

The One

This investigation focuses on the question whether assessments of the development of internalizing behavior from childhood to adolescence are affected by the kind of research design (longitudinal versus cross-sectional). Two longitudinal samples of 432 second-graders and 366 fourth graders participated in a longitudinal study with subsequent measurements taken 1, 2, and 3 years later. A third sample consisting of 849 children covering the same range of grades participated in a cross-sectional study. The results show that the development of internalizing symptoms in girls – but not in boys – varies systematically with the research design. In girls, there is a decrease of internalizing symptoms (especially between the first two timepoints) in the longitudinal assessment, which may reflect, for example, the influence of strain during the first testing situation. Both longitudinal trajectories converge to a common trajectory from grade 2 to grade 7 when controlling for this “novelty-distress effect.” Moreover, when we control this effect, the slight but significant decrease characterizing the common trajectory becomes similar to the one obtained in the cross-sectional study. Therefore, trajectories based on longitudinal assessments may suggest more changes with regard to internalizing symptoms over time than actually take place, while trajectories based on cross-sectional data may be characterized by an increased level of internalizing symptoms. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.
