Abstract:

The purpose of the current study is to examine the academic and social functioning of college students with a chronic physical health condition (CPHC). For the current study, chronic physical health condition will be defined as follows: “A physical [or mental] health condition that has lasted or is expected to last at least 6 months and interferes with their activities,” (Varni & Limbers, 2008, p. 107). The sample consisted of 174 participants attending Western Kentucky University. Two groups (CPHC vs. Healthy) were comprised based on the participants’ self-reported health status. Particip

Abstract:

Previous studies suggest that Medicaid-enrolled children have difficulties accessing dental care, which can lead to untreated dental disease, poor oral health, and compromised overall health status. While Medicaid-enrolled children with a chronic condition (CC) encounter additional barriers to dental care, most relevant studies on dental utilization fail to adopt risk adjustment methods. As such, the impact of CC status and CC severity on access to dental care for Medicaid-enrolled children is poorly understood. The main objectives of this dissertation were to: 1) compare dental utilization fo

Abstract:

This study was designed to further understand the psychosocial functioning of youth with chronic health conditions or physical disabilities, their need for and use of mental health services, and possible barriers to receiving needed services. Previous research has suggested these youth experience poorer psychosocial functioning compared to peers without special health care needs, and they also underutilize needed mental health services.

The purpose of this research was to develop and test an instrument to measure or quantify the construct of inner strength.

Abstract:

This study examines the importance of age, education, and the health system reforms in the mid 1990's on the utilization of five health services: specialists' visits, family doctor visits, non-physician health professional visits, hospital use, and home care services. The analysis focuses on the Canadians 45 and over, and uses data from the National Population Health Survey.<br>Results. Age per se has only a minor effect on utilization; the relative high utilization rates observed among the aged relate to the use of services by people with chronic conditions, whose prevalence is higher a

Objectives: This study linked Scottish education data to a number of administrative health datasets to explore associations between childhood chronic ill health and subsequent educational and health outcomes. Chronic conditions investigated were diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression. Educational outcomes were number of days absent from school, number of school exclusions, special educational need (SEN), academic attainment and unemployment. Health outcomes were all-cause and cause-specific hospital admission, total number of hospital admissi

Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of CRC screening and identify chronic conditions that predict CRC screening uptake among US adults using the 2012 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of the 2012 NHIS data. Chronic conditions examined were hypertension, cancer history, arthritis, ulcer, and high cholesterol level.

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 95-104).<br>Chronic pain is considered a signiﬁcant burden at both a personal and social level. Not only does it lead to individual suffering and loss of work or social roles, but it also places a great demand on health care systems. Chronic pain has been shown to be associated with both depression and anxiety disorders, adding to the drain on society. Most of the existing research on chronic pain and its association with mental disorders has focused on Europe and North America, with little research ﬁrom developing countries. There are few data on th

Abstract:

Adults aged 50 years and older are a growing segment of the population and are more likely than their younger counterparts to experience significant stressors such as the death of a relative or friend, onset of chronic conditions, and increased health burden. The current studies use Pearlin's stress process model to evaluate the impact of these stressors on outcomes of depression. Study 1 used Wave 1 data from the ORANJ BOWL research panel of 5,688 New Jersey residents aged 50 and older to explore the relationship between relational life events, private religious practices, and depressed mood.

Abstract:

Background: Sleep disturbance, including insomnia disorder, is common among patients with chronic health conditions, and is associated with psychological difficulties and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Less is known about whether a similar relationship exists in individuals with chronic health conditions who do not have a clinical diagnosis of sleep disturbance (NCSD). Recent evidence suggests that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in the form of self-help (SH) is an effective treatment for individuals with chronic health conditions and has the advantage of low cost and eas

Abstract:

This portfolio thesis is comprised of three parts: a systematic literature review, an empirical paper and a set of supporting appendices. Part one is a systematic literature review that summarises and critically appraises eleven studies exploring the relationship between self-blame for the onset of a chronic physical health condition and emotional distress. As inconsistent perspectives have been noted regarding the relationship between self-blame and psychological adjustment to illness, with some suggesting self-blame to be beneficial and others suggesting a detrimental impact, the aim of this
