{"title":"Interpretations of Innovation: The Role of Technology in Explanation Seeking Related to Psychosis","authors":"O. Higgins, Brooke L Short, Stephan K. Chalup, Rhonda L. Wilson","doi":"10.1155/2023/4464934","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2023/4464934","url":null,"abstract":"Background. The prominence of technology in modern life cannot be understated. However, for some people, these innovations or their related plausible advancements can be associated with perceptual misinterpretation and/or incorporation into delusional concepts. Objective. This paper aims to explore the intersection of technological advancement and experiencing psychosis. We present a discussion about the explanation seeking that incorporates the concept, that for some people, of technological innovation becoming intertwined with delusional symptoms over the past 100 years. Methods. A longitudinal review of the literature was conducted to synthesize and draw these concepts together, mapping them to a timeline that aligns computing science and healthcare expertise and presents the significant technological changes of the modern era charted against mental health milestones and reports of technology-related delusions. Results. It is possible for technology to be incorporated into the content of delusions with evidence supporting a link between the rate of technological change, the content of delusions, and the use of technology as a way of seeking an explanation. Moreover, analysis suggests a need to better understand how innovations may impact the mental health of people at risk of psychosis and other mental health conditions. Conclusions. Clinical experts and lived experience experts need to be informed about and collaborate with future research and development of technology, specifically artificial intelligence and machine learning, early in the development cycle. This concurs with other artificial intelligence research recommendations calling for design attention to the development and implementation of technological innovation applied in a mental health context.","PeriodicalId":20019,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives in Psychiatric Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49166248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Effect of a Positive Psychology Expressive Writing on Stigma, Hope, Coping Style, and Quality of Life in Hospitalized Female Patients with Schizophrenia: A Randomized, Controlled Trial","authors":"Ming-Wen Tang, Yin Cheng, Yanhong Zhang, Shou-Juan Liu","doi":"10.1155/2023/1577352","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1155/2023/1577352","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose. Schizophrenia accounts for more than 50% of psychiatric inpatients, and its special manifestations and recurring illnesses not only bring great harm to patients and their families but also pose great challenges to social security and management. Schizophrenia is associated with the most severe stigma of all mental illnesses. This stigma seriously affects the psychological functioning and quality of life of people with schizophrenia. Female patients’ experiences with stigma tend to be more severe than those of male patients and their self-denial and discrimination may be more serious. As expressive writing is a relatively simple, brief intervention that may serve as a useful and cost-effective alternative intervention or adjunct to other treatments, it is important to assess its effectiveness for female patients with schizophrenia. In this study, we explored the effect of a positive psychology expressive writing intervention on stigma, hope, coping style, and quality of life in hospitalized female patients with schizophrenia. Methods. This randomized controlled trial investigated the psychophysiological benefits of a positive psychology expressive writing (PPEW) in 54 schizophrenia patients recruited from the psychiatry department of a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Nanjing, China. Patients were randomized into the experimental group (n = 27) and control group (n = 27). The experimental group participated in the positive psychology expressive writing for 2 weeks, while the control group received routine psychiatric care. As outcome measures, all patients completed the Personal Information Form, Perceived Devaluation-Discrimination (PDD), Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ), Herth Hope Index Scale (HHIS), and Quality of Life Scale for Schizophrenia (SQLS). Results. There were significant differences in PDD, SCSQ, HHIS, and SQLS pretest to posttest scores between the experimental and control groups shown by the per protocol (PP) and intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis (\u0000 \u0000 P\u0000 \u0000  < 0.05). PPEW decreased the level of stigma and improved hope, coping style, and quality of life among patients with schizophrenia. Conclusion. These findings highlight the benefits of including positive psychology expressive writing (PPEW) in daily psychological treatment of patients with schizophrenia to promote their rehabilitation and improve their quality of life.","PeriodicalId":20019,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives in Psychiatric Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45602196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to determine the relationship between successful aging and health literacy in older adults. Design and Methods. This cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study was conducted between April and September 2021. The sample of the study comprised 379 voluntary older adults aged 65 and above who visited a health center. A descriptive information form, the adult health literacy scale, and the successful aging scale were used for data collection. Results. The levels of health literacy were low, whereas the perceptions of successful aging were high. Besides, compared to female participants, the levels of health literacy and the perceptions of successful aging were higher in male participants. Age was negatively correlated with the level of health literacy. Furthermore, health literacy levels and successful aging perceptions of married participants were high. Finally, as the education levels increased, so did the health literacy level and successful aging perceptions. Practice Implications. Health policies to promote successful aging and health literacy in adults may be developed. Besides, intervention plans to improve the health literacy levels of different age groups may be prepared. Further studies that use culture-specific scales may be conducted.","PeriodicalId":20019,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives in Psychiatric Care","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46316128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
