Sick Children

Abstract Background Family morbidity is a concern in the treatment of paediatric patients but guidance and research lacks reference to siblings. Siblings of chronically sick children are at risk of adverse outcomes if needs are not recognized and met. A literature review demonstrated that positive outcomes are possible with appropriate support. Objective To identify emotional and spiritual needs of children and young people (CYP) with a sibling with a chronic disease locating this within a wider understanding of the needs of this population.Method A mixed methods study including: validated, UK normed 52-item Kidscreen questionnaire for siblings, proxy version for parents; interviews of each sibling and focus groups drawn from these siblings were recorded, transcribed and subjected to iterative thematic analysis. The setting was Birmingham Children’s Hospital NHSFT, UK. Participants were 16 siblings and 16 parents of children with a chronic rare disease aged 8-16, one specialist nurse.Results The mean of parents’ scores on the questionnaire rated the sibling below the 50th percentile on all ten areas covered. A mean of 34.9 (median 31) for home life shows a significant impact of having a sick child. Siblings consistently rated themselves higher than parents. From the thematic analysis, largely negative consequences of having a sick sibling appeared in all domains. Coping mechanisms were in two main categories: 1. Creative and leisure activities, 2. Family and friends.Discussion and Conclusion Having a chronically unwell sibling negatively impacts global wellbeing, and, specifically in this study, their emotional and spiritual development. Further research will be needed to determine if this can be ameliorated

Purpose Spiritual topics emerge in executive leadership coaching. However, the scholarly literature has emphasized the performance development aspects of executive coaching (EC) more than the development of executives’ inner lives, although there is some evidence of practitioners addressing spiritual topics. Executive leaders have spiritual needs and executive coaches may be well positioned to address the intersection of the leaders’ work and spiritual lives, provided coaches observe skill boundaries and the limitations of the coaching context. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the merits of including spiritual development (SDev) in EC and how executive coaches can incorporate it in their practice. Design/methodology/approach EC, SDev and spiritual direction are compared, drawing attention to conflicting and complementary aspects of SDev applied in EC. Organizations’, clients’ and coaches’ likely concerns about such integration are explored and addressed. Suitable contexts, principles, a basic developmental framework and practical steps for executive coaches considering the inclusion of SDev in EC are proposed. Findings The paper provides coaches, consultants, executives and those charged with executive development with a foundational understanding of the role of SDev in EC. Originality/value A framework is provided for professionals involved in executive management development to address executive leaders’ spiritual needs through EC.

Symptoms Of Depression

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating worldwide effect on mental health. Recent studies correlate the spreading of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) with symptoms of depression, most prominent in postpartum women. Our systematic literature review scope is to identify the risk factors and predictors for postpartum depression (PPD) and describe the steps that should be taken to help postpartum women. This study will help clinicians, researchers, and policymakers to elucidate the predictors of PPD during this pandemic and prevent these adverse outcomes in future crises. Methods: We conducted a systematic search by employing databases PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Embase to identify articles published before March 2021. About 463 publications were generated during our search process and from those, 36 were reviewed, summarized, and synthesized. Studies qualified the criteria if they (1) utilized qualitative or quantitative design, (2) explored the risk factors for PPD, and (3) were written in English. Quality evaluation of each study was achieved by using criteria set by Lincoln and Guba. Results: Prevalence of depression symptoms ranged from 7% to 80.8% in postpartum women during the SARS-COV 2 pandemic. The risk factors for PPD were classified into 6 major categories: socio-demographic, psychological, pre-existing pathology, metabolic factors, previous events of miscarriage, and media misinformation. Conclusion: It is extremely vital to care for women’s mental health during pregnancy and after childbirth during these unprecedented times. This review urges the need to design adequate interventions for this vulnerable population to prevent negative consequences of PPD.

Abstract Eleven cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) trainees in Scotland were interviewed regarding their experiences of clinical supervision and its impact on their skill development. Using thematic analysis, the authors developed four main themes: Linking Theory to Practice, Mirroring CBT in Supervision, The Expert Supervisor, and Trainees’ Reluctance to Give Negative Feedback. Clinical supervision was essential in helping trainees to link theory to practice; particularly through audio recordings, discussing formulations, and modelling and role-play. A CBT-specific approach to supervision and a CBT expert supervisor were also identified as valuable to learning. Trainees were reluctant to give negative feedback to supervisors, fearing negative consequences. The findings inform supervision practice. Key learning aims Readers of this paper will be able to: (1) Describe trainees’ most valued elements of CBT supervision. (2) Determine key learning methods in CBT supervision. (3) Explain the value of modality specific CBT supervision. (4) Articulate the context of supervision in CBT training and consider mutual feedback as a method to address identified challenges.

The Impact

A substantial body of literature suggests that childhood maltreatment is related to negative outcomes during adolescence, including delinquency, drug use, teenage pregnancy, and school failure. There has been relatively little research examining the impact that variation in the developmental stage during which the maltreatment occurs has on these relationships, however. In this paper, we reassess the impact of maltreatment on a number of adverse outcomes when developmentally specific measures of maltreatment—maltreatment that occurs only in childhood, only in adolescence, or in both childhood and adolescence—are considered. Data are drawn from the Rochester Youth Development Study, a broad-based longitudinal study of adolescent development. The analysis examines how maltreatment affects delinquency, drug use, alcohol-related problems, depressive symptoms, teen pregnancy, school dropout, and internalizing and externalizing problems during adolescence. We also examine whether the type of maltreatment experienced at various developmental stages influences the outcomes. Overall, our results suggest that adolescent and persistent maltreatment have stronger and more consistent negative consequences during adolescence than does maltreatment experienced only in childhood.

Abstract Background Depression and anxiety are associated with adverse outcomes in educational achievements and economic performances. Moreover, the prevalence of these disorders is unequally distributed among different population subgroups. Our objective is to investigate whether the economic consequences of depression and anxiety differ between population subgroups of different gender, socioeconomic status (SES), ethnicity and age, in Europe. Methods A systematic scoping literature review was performed to identify studies where exposure to depression or anxiety was identified at baseline and consequences in education, sickness absence, disability pension, unemployment and income/earnings were measured at follow-up. Results Seventeen articles were included in this review and most of these were conducted in the Nordic countries. The consequences of depression and anxiety were stratified by gender in most of the articles. However, only in a few studies, the findings were stratified by SES, age and ethnicity. The negative consequences of depression in educational performance, disability pension and income are larger for men compared to women. Moreover, low SES individuals have more depression- and anxiety-related absence from work than high SES individuals. Conclusion Our findings imply that the economic consequences of depression differ between population subgroups in Europe. This could have an impact on social stratification, shifting people who experience mental ill-health to lower SES groups or reinforcing an already disadvantaged position. More research is needed on unequal economic consequences of depression and anxiety in different population subgroups in Europe.
