This research explored the association between family stress, emotional reactivity, and overweight in women.Method: Participants were patients at cardiovascular risk seen at a cardiovascular wellness center for women. A psychologist conducted semistructured interviews with participants, asking specific questions to address the presence or absence of family stressors. Emotional reactivity was measured using a validated version of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21. Logistic and linear regressions were used to calculate relationships between specific family stressors, emotional reactivity scores, and body mass index (BMI).Results: The final sample included 237 women, mean age of 60.8, who were primarily Jewish residents of Jerusalem. Increased anxiety was consistently associated with high BMI, whether in the context of parenting stress (OR = 1.33, 95% confidence interval [CI, 1.05, 1.69], p < .05), extended family stress (OR = 1.34, 95% CI [1.05, 1.71], p < .05), or marital stress (OR = 1.41, 95% CI [1.05, 1.90], p < .05). While marital stress was not directly associated with BMI, women with higher levels of general stress who also reported marital stress were more likely to exhibit high BMI (OR = 4.14, 95% CI [1.17, 14.59], p < .05).Discussion: The interaction of marital stress and emotional reactivity (i.e., the experience of general stress) was associated with increased BMI. Further studies should evaluate the interactions between family stressors and emotional factors, which may enable the design of more effective interventions.

Little is known about the short- and long-term impacts on staff perceptions of inclusion, psychological safety, and belongingness, or what aspects of DEI initiatives hold meaning and value for team members. In particular, the perspective of clinical staff identifying as racial-ethnic minorities/persons of color (POC), who disproportionately occupy support staff roles with less power on the team, has been unclear and understudied. The purpose of this study was to investigate what makes organizational DEI efforts meaningful and impactful in creating a sense of inclusion for POC clinic team members and identifies perceived barriers to inclusion efforts.Method: A qualitative study was conducted across 13 community health clinics within a safety-net health care system in Colorado. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 40 participants (77.5% female; Mage 41; 77.5% POC). Participants' clinic roles included support staff team members (75%), medical providers (15%), and clinic leadership (10%).Results: Findings illustrated elements of existing DEI initiatives, ranging from the most beneficial to the most detrimental, including some common across all participant groups and some unique to specific races and/or role groups.Discussion: All participants endorsed common beneficial elements of DEI initiatives. Participants identifying as POC and in roles with less power in the clinic (i.e., support staff members) shared elements with the potential to cause harm. Avoiding detrimental elements and incorporating beneficial elements will allow teams to engage in meaningful DEI initiatives.

This study aimed to assess (a) current practices for collecting family information in pediatric primary care settings, and (b) the feasibility, acceptability, and utility of a validated Family Health Scale-Short Form (FHS-SF) to screen for family health from clinic staff and parent perspectives.Method: We piloted the FHS-SF in two urban pediatric clinics in 2022. We interviewed four pediatricians and six staff members and piloted the survey with 25 parents. We employed an exploratory qualitative design that included data from provider and staff interviews and a descriptive quantitative component, including surveys with parents/caregivers. We analyzed interview transcripts with the Framework Analysis method and presented survey results with descriptive statistics.Results: Clinic providers and staff endorsed the importance of the family context in pediatric care and regularly asked household economic questions but did not routinely assess interpersonal health except during transitions (e.g., newborn/infancy and adolescent visits) and in the context of a custody change. Caregivers were, on average, 34 years old, primarily mothers (92%) and Black/African American (56%) or white (20%). Providers, staff, and caregivers found the FHS-SF questions to be acceptable. Providers suggested using the FHS-SF as a \"conversation starter\" or a tool to identify referrals. Staff provided suggestions for implementation.Discussion: The FHS-SF could be an effective tool in primary care pediatric settings, contributing to more family-focused care as a foundation for well-being early in the life course.

The most common metrics of PCBH service outcomes include provider and patient satisfaction, patient symptom changes, provider productivity, and utilization rates. Missing is the broader perspective of the patient. To address this gap, we solicited qualitative feedback from PCBH patients about the benefits of PCBH services.Method: Primary care patients (n = 135; Mage = 28.31, 52.6% White, 25.9% Hispanic/Latinx, 72.6% female) seen by six behavioral health interns at two primary care clinics over a 13-month period responded to an open-ended question about what they found most helpful about that day's session.Results: Roughly half of patient responses about PCBH session benefits encompassed nonspecific aspects of therapy (49.6%), while nearly two-thirds (63.0%) mentioned specific therapeutic techniques delivered by clinicians in session as most helpful. In terms of nonspecific benefits of PCBH, many patients described benefitting from having space to talk, receiving validation, and instillation of hope. Specific aspects of treatment patients reported were helpful included skill building, resource sharing, goal setting/treatment planning, psychoeducation/guidance, and specific cognitive behavioral therapy techniques.Conclusion: PCBH relies on both nonspecific relational components and special therapy techniques; both are useful to patients, and neither is frequently included in routine evaluations of the effectiveness of PCBH and other models of integrated care. Our findings support the benefits of including patient input when conducting outcome monitoring within the PCBH model.

To solidify the importance of IPC compared to traditional methods of health care delivery, outcome measurement is essential to bolster the claim that such a shift in patient care can improve holistic health. This systematic review sought to understand the literature accounting for both physical and mental health outcomes in IPC settings.Method: Systematic searches within PsycINFO, Embase, and PubMed databases identified 2,729 studies that fit our predetermined criteria. Studies were included if they were within a setting that met our definition of IPC and tracked for both physical and mental health indicators.Results: In total, 42 screened studies fit our criteria with approximately 28 distinct IPC models represented, each employing different team members to deliver interventions. Fifteen studies found improvements in both physical and mental health outcomes, while others only noted improvement in physical (n = 4) or mental health outcomes (n = 15) alone. Of the 15 studies that found improvement in both outcomes, depression and diabetes were the two that improved together most frequently.Conclusions: This review found evidence of IPC settings improving both biological and psychological outcomes, with a considerable number demonstrating depressive symptom reduction in comparison to any other physical or mental health condition. Continuing efforts are still needed to measure concurrent physical and mental health conditions to make progress toward improved holistic health care systems.

To ensure family-centered care throughout the lifespan, this research seeks to gain a better understanding of the influence of Type 1 diabetes on the mother's quality of life during their adolescent-young adult's transition to adulthood.Method: In this convergent parallel mixed methods study using the Family Management Style Framework, a sample of 72 mothers of adolescent-young adults (15-25 years) completed measures of social support, diabetes distress, and Type 1 diabetes health-related quality of life. From this sample, 12 mothers participated in interviews to further characterize the influences of Type 1 diabetes on mothers during the transition to adulthood.Results: Mothers reported continued Type 1 diabetes-related distress related to lack of control of diabetes management, disrupted sleep patterns, and lack of support. Type 1 diabetes health-related quality of life was positively associated with perceived social support (τb = .194, p < .024) and negatively associated with diabetes distress (τb = -.629, p < .001).Discussion: Despite the significance of their role during the adolescent-young adult transition to adulthood, the needs of mothers during this time have been largely ignored in extant research. Isolation, lack of control, and disrupted sleep led to increased Type 1 diabetes distress and diminished quality of life for mothers during this time. This study highlights the long-term consequences of Type 1 diabetes on mothers and emphasizes the need for continued professional support for mothers during the transition to adulthood.
