We describe a novel psychologist-led consultation service within an Office for Faculty Success (OFS) to support faculty across their career trajectories. We used 5 years of consultation data including faculty demographics, presenting concerns, and post-consultation evaluation data on consultation satisfaction and perceived benefits to examine trends and demographic group differences in consultation frequency, presenting concerns, and perceived benefits. From 2018 to 2023, 434 individuals presented for 683 consultations. Promotion in rank was the most frequent presenting concern. Women and racially/ethically minoritized faculty were found to present more frequently for repeat consultations, for concerns related to careers negotiation and advancement, and for intersectionality issues specific to gender and/or racial minority identities. From years one to five, there was a 93% increase in number of annual consultations performed and users were highly satisfied with the service (3.86/4). The consultation service is a unique, highly acceptable addition to interventions focused on career satisfaction and retention for AHC faculty, especially for women, early career, and minoritized faculty, and can serve as a model for other institutions.</p>","PeriodicalId":15494,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings","volume":" ","pages":"723-732"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141897563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional study investigated differences in family functioning and its association with burnout between IC and non-IC. For IC specifically, the study examined a mediation model to explore the possibility of neuropsychiatric symptoms indirectly affecting IC burnout through the impact on family functioning and burden. Measures included the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, the McMaster Family Assessment Device, the Neuropsychiatric Inventory, and the Zarit Burden Interview. Results showed an association between poorer family function and high burnout, specifically in IC.

In this paper, we discuss three interrelated challenges that mental health professionals face in providing care to family caregivers and which our field needs to confront as healthcare transfers more responsibilities onto the shoulders of family caregivers: (1) caregiver burden is not recognized as a formal diagnosis; (2) current documentation for caregivers is typically linked to patient encounters; and (3) support for family caregivers occurs within larger systematic barriers to mental health integration.

Although social support is correlated with loneliness, low social support is neither necessary nor sufficient for the experience of loneliness. This study compares the relative association of loneliness and social support on symptom exacerbation (i.e., acute deteriorations in respiratory health) and acute health service utilization (i.e., hospitalizations, emergency department visits) among 206 adults with asthma and 308 adults with COPD. Separate logistic regression models were used to simultaneously examine the association of loneliness and social support with each outcome. Among adults with asthma, loneliness was associated with greater odds of hospitalization (AOR = 2.81, 95%CI [1.13, 7.02]), while low social support was not (AOR = 1.44, 95%CI [0.78, 2.65]).

Extensive research has demonstrated that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have long-lasting negative effects on physical, mental, and social health. Over the last two decades, many studies have found a strong link between ACEs and poor health outcomes in adults. However, there is less understanding of how positive childhood experiences (BCEs) might lead to better health in adulthood, particularly in overcoming adversity. This study aims to explore how BCEs impact adult physical and mental health and how they might mitigate the harmful effects of ACEs. Resilience theory served as the theoretical framework for this research. A total of 177 participants aged 19 to 41 years completed an online survey evaluating their physical, social, cognitive, and mental health, including their ACEs and BCEs. Regression analyses were used to investigate the connections between BCEs, ACEs, and adult health. The results show that BCEs act as protective factors that enhance overall well-being and significantly reduce depressive symptoms and physical discomfort. Additionally, when ACE levels are moderate, positive childhood experiences can largely counteract the negative health effects of ACEs.</p>","PeriodicalId":15494,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Psychology in Medical Settings","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142288386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifty-two responses revealed three codes relating to participants' explanation of why they perceived lower adherence for dyads with obesity-obesity is associated with: 1) non-compliance with general health recommendations, 2) internal traits/factors (i.e., mothers' less health consciousness, mental strength), 3) external factors (i.e., lower health literacy, socioeconomic status). The association of obesity with lower adherence is a bias that may exist among medical students and originate from assumptions about prior health adherence and maternal traits, some disparaging in nature.

Themes related to pain management variability regarding pain type, pain risk management and accessibility, pain outcomes (e.g., behavior, cognitive, affective), and pain exacerbating factors (e.g., individual, contextual) were identified.

Lastly, participants suggested that lack of physician and community knowledge on chronic pain in OI indirectly exacerbates both subjective pain intensity and outcomes.
