Coping Cat

Aims: The number of pediatric dental clients is on the rise. Besides, the relevant methods are costly and concerning; therefore, psychological methods are required to treat pediatric dental anxiety. The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of the Coping Cat Program (CCP) on anxiety, Emotion Regulation (ER), and resilience among 7- to 12-year-old children. Methods & Materials: This was a case study with multiple baselines and a one-month follow-up design. The research sample included 4 subjects referring to the dental clinic in Mashhad City, Iran, in May 2017. The study participants were selected by the purposive sampling method. The study subjects received 16 therapy sessions (2 weekly sessions) based on the CCP. The child version of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ-k) and Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale-Child (SCAS-Child) were used to collecting the required data. For data analysis, the graphical analysis method and the determination of recovery percentage were applied. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS v. 21. Findings: Anxiety scores in the pretest and posttest in the first child ranged from 62 to 44 with the recovery rate of 0.29; in the second child, it ranged from 57 to 37, with a recovery rate of 0.35; in the third child, it ranged from 48 to 35, with a recovery rate of 0.27, and in the fourth child, this rate decreased from 55 to 25 with a recovery rate of 0.54. Resilience scores in the pretest and posttest in the first child ranged from 52 to 75, with a recovery rate of 0.44, in the second child, it was from 43 to 66, with a recovery rate of 0.53; in the third child, it ranged from 58 to 74, with a recovery rate of 0.27, and in the fourth child, it increased from 64 to 89, with a recovery rate of 0.39. ER components also significantly improved in the examined children. Conclusion: The present study data indicated that CCP was effective in reducing anxiety symptoms as well as increasing ER and resilience among children aged 7 to 12 years referring to dentistry. Thus, this method can be used to reduce anxiety symptoms and increase ER and resilience in this population. This method helps the child to become aware of negative thoughts, find evidence respecting their negative thoughts, cope with anxiety, learn skills, and practice and repeat these skills.

Kinship greeting becomes a sign of culture, tribe, and race of a family. The greeting word used to call or greet someone, some of them survive, shift, or extinct because of various problems and environments. This condition encourages the implementation of analysis about the retention, shift, and extinction of kinship greetings seen from the line of descent in the society of Siak Malay. The method used to collect the data was in the form of an interview. The activity was conducted towards one of the Malay families who were born and stayed in Siak. The analysis and data discussion was by describing the form of kinship greetings based on the line of descent. The analysis results find out that there is a greeting word that does not show the identity of culture, tribe, and race of a family, such as Oom, Gan, and Lok. Meanwhile, there is also a shift of greeting words caused by the grandmother, such as To Odang, To Udo, and To Ocu. Besides, on the line of the grandfather, there are greeting words like Pak/Mak Tuo (first child), Ongah (second child), Udo (the third child), Pak/Mak Ocu/Oncu (the fourth child and so on). Then, the descent of son greets the brother of their father with greeting word Apak. These data show that there are still efforts of a family to maintain the form of the greetings. The extinction causes the loss of culture trait, tribe, and race of a family

AbstractQuadricuspid aortic valves are rare congenital anomalies, usually diagnosed in adult patients affected by severe aortic regurgitation. We have now encountered three such valves in children undergoing transthoracic echocardiography. All children were asymptomatic. The first child possessed a valve with two larger leaflets, and smaller leaflets of equal size. In the second child, 3 leaflets were of equal size, with 1 small accessory leaflet. The third child had a valve with four leaflets of approximately equal size. In one child, the aortic valve was functioning normally, and came to attention because of mitral valvar prolapse causing mild regurgitation. In the remaining two children, central mild aortic regurgitation was detected using colour flow analysis, and associated dilation of the aortic root was revealed by measurements of the cross-sectional images.

Cognitive Emotion Regulation

Zusammenfassung. Ein besseres Verständnis der Rolle von Prozessen und Stilen der Emotionsregulation (ER) im Kontext psychischer Störungen erscheint essentiell, um psychische Störungsmodelle und Behandlungskonzepte zu optimieren. Diese Studie überprüfte den Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) in einer klinischen Stichprobe von ambulanten Psychotherapiepatienten (N = 156) hinsichtlich seiner teststatistischen Güte sowie im Hinblick auf Zusammenhänge mit Psychopathologie. Der CERQ wies eine gute Reliabilität (.70 ≤ α ≤ .84) sowie faktorielle Validität auf. Im Vergleich zu einer Bevölkerungsstichprobe berichtete die klinische Stichprobe höhere Ausprägungen in dysfunktionalen und niedrigere Ausprägungen in funktionalen ER-Strategien. Mittels eines Strukturgleichungsmodells zeigte sich, dass unter Berücksichtigung der Skaleninterkorrelationen drei kognitive ER-Strategien einen signifikanten und inkrementellen Beitrag zur Vorhersage der Gruppenzugehörigkeit zur klinischen Gruppe leisten (Rumination, Planung, Andere beschuldigen). Die klinischen Subgruppen (depressive, Angst- und somatoforme Störungen) unterschieden sich nicht signifikant hinsichtlich des Einsatzes einzelner ER-Strategien. Der Einsatz des CERQ kann auch in klinischen Stichproben empfohlen werden, um transdiagnostisch relevante Prozesse einer veränderten Emotionsregulation zu untersuchen.

Cognitive Emotion Regulation

Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Der Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ; Garnefski, Kraaij & Spinhoven, 2001 ) erfasst neun Dimensionen kognitiver Emotionsregulation. Fragestellung: Es wurde eine deutsche Adaption des CERQ entwickelt und hinsichtlich Reliabilität, Dimensionalität und Zusammenhängen mit Depressivität und Angstsensitivität getestet. Methode: Die Studie wurde als postalische Fragebogenstudie durchgeführt. Von den zufällig ausgewählt und angeschriebenen 3000 Personen, sendeten 423 den Fragebogen zurück, die finale Stichprobe umfasste N = 414. Angstsensitivität und Depressivität wurden mit dem ASI-3 und dem PHQ-9 erfasst. Ergebnisse: Das 9-Faktorenmodell des CERQ konnte nach einer Verringerung auf drei Items pro Faktor zufriedenstellend repliziert werden. Angstsensitivität und Depressivität zeigten stärkere Zusammenhänge mit dysfunktionalen als mit funktionalen ER-Strategien. Am stärksten waren sie mit Katastrophisierung, Selbstbeschuldigung, Rumination, Neubewertung und Positiver Refokussierung, am schwächsten mit Akzeptanz und Refokussierung auf Planung. Schlussfolgerungen: Der deutsche CERQ ist hinsichtlich Skalenstruktur, Reliabilität und Zusammenhängen mit psychopathologischen Merkmalen vergleichbar mit der niederländischen Originalversion. Obwohl weitere Untersuchungen, insbesondere zur Konstruktvalidität, nötig sind, erscheint der CERQ geeignet für den Einsatz in der Emotionsregulationsforschung.

Nonsuicidal Self Injury

Abstract. Background: Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has been found to be associated with poor emotion regulation. Aims: The goal of this study was to examine the association of multidimensional cognitive emotion regulation strategies with NSSI among adolescents and compare the different patterns of NSSI. Method: A sample of 594 high-school students (54.4% boys; mean age = 14.96 years), from five regional schools across Israel, were assessed for five facets of cognitive emotion regulation strategies (acceptance, refocus on planning, positive refocusing, putting into perspective, and positive reappraisal) and NSSI behaviors using validated scales. Participants were allocated into three groups: repetitive NSSI (more than six occasions of NSSI; 7.1%), occasional NSSI (at least one incident but less than six; 8.3%), and no NSSI (84.6%). Results: Analysis of covariance, controlling for gender and depression symptoms, revealed that students with NSSI reported higher levels of acceptance, but lower levels of refocus on planning and putting into perspective. Limitations: The study used a cross-sectional design, which was a limitation. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that particular cognitive emotion regulation strategies differ substantially in their relationship with NSSI. Adolescents who focus on planning and putting stressful situations into perspective may have increased resilience, whereas adolescents who are accepting of negative events that have happened may be more prone to maladaptive coping behaviors.
