Abstract. The Therapist Adherence Measure (TAM-R) is a central assessment within the quality-assurance system of Multisystemic Therapy (MST). Studies into the validity and reliability of the TAM in the US have found varying numbers of latent factors. The current study aimed to reexamine its factor structure using two independent samples of families participating in MST in the Netherlands. The factor structure was explored using an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) in Sample 1 ( N = 580). This resulted in a two-factor solution. The factors were labeled “therapist adherence” and “client–therapist alliance.” Four cross-loading items were dropped. Reliability of the resulting factors was good. This two-factor model showed good model fit in a subsequent Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in Sample 2 ( N = 723). The current finding of an alliance component corroborates previous studies and fits with the focus of the MST treatment model on creating engagement.

Abstract Delirium is a serious and potentially life-threatening problem, but it remains clinically under-recognized. Various factors contribute to this under-recognition, including limited understanding of delirium, insufficient training and application of delirium assessments, potential stigma for the patient and increased workload for the clinician. As a part of an NIH funded study testing a rapid two-step delirium identification protocol at two hospitals in the U.S. (one urban and one rural), clinicians completed a 12-item survey to assess their knowledge and attitudes about delirium and their confidence in preventing and managing delirium. Survey response options followed a 5-point rating scale (strongly disagree, disagree, undecided, agree, strongly agree). The sample for this analysis included 399 clinicians (MDs=53; RNs=235; CNAs=111). Chi-square was used to test for group differences between clinician types. Less than half of the clinicians reported agreeing with the statement, “delirium is largely preventable” (MDs: 47%; RN: 44%; CNA: 41%, p-value=0.021). MDs and RNs indicated a high level of confidence in recognizing delirium while CNAs endorsed lower levels of confidence (MDs: 87%; RN: 81%; CNA: 65%, p-value=0.001). All types of clinicians reported lower confidence in managing delirium (MDs: 29%; RN: 36%; CNA: 44%, p-value=0.117). 47% of CNAs and 37% of RNs agreed there is a need for additional training in caring for persons with delirium while only 21% of MDs agreed (p = 0.031). Understanding how different types of clinicians think and feel about delirium will inform training and communication initiatives, clinical implementation, and research on best practices for delirium identification and management.

Tekanan darah adalah faktor penting dalam sistem sirkulasi tubuh manusia. Tekanan darah dapat dengan mudah berubah meski dalam hitungan detik (Sasmalinda, Syafriandi, & Helma, 2013). Pada 2 Maret 2020, pemerintah Indonesia pertama kali mengumumkan dua kasus pasien postif Covid-19. (Pranita, 2020). Pasien tidak berani melakukan pemeriksaan ke rumah sakit, sehingga jika ada keluhan yang tidak begitu berat mereka akan membeli obat di apotik tanpa mengetahui tekanan darahnya. Hal ini sangat mengkhawatirkan karena tekanan darah yang tidak terkontrol dapat menyebabkan komplikasi lain seperti stroke. Tujuan penelitian menganalisis faktor yang berhubungan dengan tekanan darah. Desain penelitian analitik observasional, dengan pendekatan Cross Sectional (Notoatmodjo, 2012). Pelaksanaan bulan  Maret – Mei 2020. Populasi dari Seluruh warga  babatan RT 8 RW 2 Kelurahan Babatan Kecamatan Wiyung sebanyak 110 orang. Teknik Sampel total sampling. Variabel independen; jenis kelamin, beban kerja, pendapatan, tingkat kecemasan dan riwayat keluarga. Variabel dependen; tekanan darah. Instrument penelitian; timbangan injak digital, tensi digital, dan kuesioner. Variabel Tingkat kecemasan  menggunakan HARS (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale). Dianalisis uji statistik Chi Square dengan nilai p value <0.05. Hasil penelitian chi square  beban kerja nilai p-value 0,004<0,005 ada hubungan beban kerja dengan  tekanan darah. Hasil  p – value 0,002<0,05 ada hubungan antara jenis kelamin dengan tekanan darah.  Hasil p value 0,463<0,05 tidak ada hubungan antara tingkat kecemasan, hasilnya p – value 0,000<0,05 ada hubungan riwayat keluarga dengan tekanan darah. Kesimpulan faktor yang berhubungan dengan tekanan darah yaitu jenis kelamin, beban kerja, pendapatan, riwayat keluarga sedangkan faktor yang tidak berhubungan dengan tekanan darah yaitu kecemasan

Background: The SSRIs being used as 1st line therapy in treatment of depression have delayed therapeutic effect which makes the patient vulnerable to an increased risk of suicide and decreased adherence to the treatment and will prematurely discontinue the therapy. The present study was conducted to evaluate if low dose mirtazapine-escitalopram combination therapy has any add on benefit over monotherapy with escitalopram.Methods: In a single-centered, comparative study involving patients with depression attending the out-patient after screening and exclusion, 60 eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive tablet mirtazapine 7.5 mg plus tablet escitalopram 10 mg intervention or tablet escitalopram 10 mg plus placebo intervention in a double-blind 6-week treatment phase. The primary outcome measure was the change in the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score from baseline. Participants were evaluated at baseline, 1st, 2nd,4th and 6th week. Results were analyzed using Chi-Square test for adverse effects and independent t-test analysis for efficacy parameter.Results: In the analysis of results at 6th week the numbers of patients achieved remission in mirtazapine group are more with a p-value of 0.018 which is significant and the numbers of responders in mirtazapine group are also more which is statistically significant on chi-square test. There is no significant difference was observed between the two groups with reference to occurrence of adverse effect.Conclusions: Adding low dose mirtazapine has an added benefit in terms of efficacy and getting remission early with more number of responders in the treatment of major depression.

Abstract The objective of the study was to translate, adapt and validate the Urdu version of Adult Temperament scale (ATS). In the current study the cross sectional study design was used. The study was conducted at both private and government educational institutions, residential, and occupational settings of district of different cities like Gujranwala, Gujrat, Jhelum, Sialkot, Rawalpindi and Wazirabad. The data was collected from adults using convenient sampling technique. Firstly, the translation of Adult Temperament scale was conducted in International language. The forward-backward translation method was used for translation which was followed by expert panel evaluation, linguistic and conceptual verification of measure and then a final translated version was finalized. Further, test-retest administration was used for field administration of these items over 250 adults by self-administration of questionnaires. For measuring psychometric properties, the scale was again administered on a sample of 300 participants. Moreover, for validation sample of 150 adults were selected by convenient sampling technique. The data was analysed with correlation, confirmatory factor analysis and reliability test. The results showed the correlation of test-retest administration in between .310 to .865 of the 26 items. The model fit summary of CFA showed a CFI of .905 p-value of .00 that is less than .05 so it confirmed the structure of the questions and their relations to the subscales were confirmed. The reliability of the subscales: choleric .970, sanguine .943, phlegmatic .744, and melancholic .766 and divergent validity was also confirmed using BFI-10. Finally, the translated English version of scale with 26 items was found reliable and valid at the end of analysis.

Orientation: The rigid application of conventional confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) techniques, the overreliance on global model fit indices and the dismissal of the chi-square statistic appear to have an adverse impact on the research of psychological ownership measures.Research purpose: The purpose of this study was to explicate the South African Psychological Ownership Questionnaire’s (SAPOS’s) CFA model fit using the Bayesian structural equation modelling (BSEM) technique.Motivation for the study: The need to conduct this study derived from a renewed awareness of the incorrect use of the chi-square statistic and global fit indices of CFA in social sciences research.Research approach/design and method: The SAPOS measurement model fit was explicated on two study samples consisting, respectively, of 712 and 254 respondents who worked in various organisations in South Africa. A Bayesian approach to CFA was used to evaluate if local model misspecifications were substantive and justified the rejection of the SAPOS model.Main findings: The findings suggested that a rejection of the SAPOS measurement model based on the results of the chi-square statistic and global fit indices would be unrealistic and unfounded in terms of substantive test theory.Practical/managerial implications: BSEM appeared to be a valuable diagnostic tool to pinpoint and evaluate local CFA model misspecifications and their effect on a measurement model.Contribution/value-add: This study showed the importance of considering local misspecifications rather than only relying the chi-square statistic and global fit indices when evaluating model fit.
