Aims: One of the most essential causes of mortality in the world is cardiovascular disease. Biological backgrounds and physical risk factors, types of stress and distress, ineffective interaction strategies, stressful life events, as well as low levels resiliency contribute to the start and severity of the disease are some features of this disease. The present research tends to compare the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Guided Mental Imagery (GSI) on the resiliency in cardiovascular patients referring to cardiac rehabilitation ward through 2018-2019. Methods & Materials: This study is a quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest and follow-up with control group. The research samples were 45 participants selected using available method and completed the Conner-Davidson Resiliency Scale (CD-RIS). Interventions consisted of 8 sessions of 60 minutes each (ACT group) and 10 sessions of 45 minutes each (GSI group). Data analysis was performed using repeated measurement covariance analysis and Bonferroni test in SPSS v. 22 software. Findings: The research findings showed the effectiveness of the two treatments of ACT and GSI on the increase in resiliency of cardiovascular patients. In other words, the results of Bonferroni test indicate the more effectiveness of ACT than GSI in increasing resiliency is in cardiovascular patients (P<0.005). Therefore, it can be concluded that ACT, by focusing on psychological flexibility, is more effective than GSI on Resilience. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the ACT with the main acceptance factor, may expand the concept of acceptance by believing in lack of control over life in cardiovascular patients, and increase their resiliency. A one-month follow-up of the results showed its sustainability and strength.

Abstract Introduction There is a dearth of research on the impact of pre-treatment assessment effort and symptom exaggeration on the treatment outcomes of Veterans engaging in trauma-focused therapy, handicapping therapists providing these treatments. Research suggests a multi-method approach for assessing symptom exaggeration in Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which includes effort and symptom validity tests, is preferable. Symptom exaggeration has also been considered a “cry for help,” associated with increased PTSD and depressive symptoms. Recently, research has identified resilience as a moderator of PTSD and depressive symptom severity and an important predictor of treatment response among individuals with PTSD. Thus, it is important to examine the intersection of symptom exaggeration, resilience, and treatment outcome to determine whether assessment effort and symptom exaggeration compromise treatment response. Materials and Methods We recruited Veterans, aged 18–50 who served during the Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn (OEF/OIF/OND) era, from mental health clinics and fliers posted in a large Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Veterans met inclusion criteria if they were diagnosed with PTSD via a clinician-administered assessment. Sixty-one Veterans consented to participate and self-selected into a cognitive processing therapy (CPT) group or treatment-as-usual. We offered self-selection because low recruitment rates delayed treatment start dates and were consistent with a Veteran-centered care philosophy. Veterans were assessed before and after treatment to determine the impact of assessment effort and symptom exaggeration scores on measures of PTSD and depressive symptoms and resilience. This study examined whether assessment effort failure and symptom exaggeration were associated with compromised psychotherapy outcomes in Veterans with PTSD undergoing CPT group. We hypothesized that a pattern of responding consistent with both effort and symptom exaggeration would result in higher (ie, more severe) pre- and post-treatment scores on PTSD and depressive symptom outcome measures and lower resiliency when compared to Veterans providing good effort and genuine responding. Hypotheses were evaluated using bivariate correlation analyses, analysis of variance, and chi-square analyses. Results Pre-treatment scores on measures of PTSD and depressive symptoms were higher among Veterans whose pattern of responding was consistent with poor assessment effort and symptom exaggeration; these Veterans also scored lower on a measure of resiliency. At post-treatment, there were no differences between Veterans displaying good and failed effort testing on measures of PTSD and depressive symptoms or in whether they completed treatment. Post-treatment resiliency scores remained significantly lower in those with failed effort testing. Conclusion These results suggest that Veterans with PTSD whose validity testing scores are indicative of poor effort and symptom exaggeration may be less resilient but may still complete a CPT group treatment and benefit from treatment at a rate comparable to Veterans who evidence good assessment effort and genuine symptom reporting pre-treatment. These findings also challenge the assumption that pre-treatment assessment effort failure and symptom exaggeration accurately predict poor effort in trauma-focused psychotherapy.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of narrative therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy on Resilience in women with breast surgery experience. Methods: This was a semi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest, controlled design with follow-up. The study population consisted of all women with breast cancer who were undergoing postmastectomy radiotherapy in Tabriz in 2018. In total, 30 women were selected by a purposive sampling method, and divided into three groups of narrative therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, and control. The intervention groups received their respective treatments over 8 sessions of 1.5 hours. The groups were assessed using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale before, after, and four months after the treatment. Results: The mean postintervention resilience scores for the narrative therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy groups (66.4 and 79.9, respectively) were significantly greater compared with the control group (51.9) (P < 0.001). Similar results were observed at the 4-mont follow-up indicating a lasting effect. Also, the effect of rational emotive behavior therapy on resilience was greater than that of narrative therapy both after the intervention and at 4-month follow-up (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Narrative therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy increased resiliency in women with breast surgery experience.

Background and aims: The present study aimed to determine the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy on perceived stress, resilience, and the quality of life in thalassemia major patients in Lordegan during 2015-2016. Methods: This semi-experimental study used the pre-test and post-test designs with a control group and period. The samples included 40 patients with thalassemia major who referred to Lordegan Shohada hospital, were selected by the purposeful sampling technique based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received eight-week sessions of the acceptance and commitment-based therapy, while the control group received no intervention until the end of the study. The data were collected by the perceived stress questionnaire (Cohen et al), Researcher Conner and Davison Resilience Scale, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (SF-26). Finally, the obtained data were analyzed using the SPSS software, repeated measure, and covariance tests Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of the perceived stress, resilience, and the quality of life (P<0.001). In addition, based on the results, 66% of the changes in the perceived stress scores, 81% of the difference in the resiliency scores, and 75% of the difference in the quality of life scores were related to the impact of therapy based on the acceptance and group commitment. Further, the results of the analysis variance of the internal group revealed that the effect of therapy based on the acceptance and commitment on the perceived stress, resilience, and the quality of life had a significant difference in pretest, posttest, and follow-up stages. Conclusion: In general, the therapy based on the acceptance and commitment is found to be a useful practice in reducing the perceived stress while increasing the resilience and improving the quality of life in patients with thalassemia major.

e24079 Background: One of the most common concerns of cancer survivors is cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI), which affects an individual’s ability to return to work, school, or other life activities. The etiology of CRCI is poorly understood. Numerous studies have demonstrated a relationship between emotional distress and cognitive dysfunction, though the core psychological construct underlying this relationship has been elusive. Resilience, defined as the ability to function well despite adversity, reflects individual capacity to manage stress and reduce allostatic load. We hypothesized that low resilience contributes to stress-related cognitive symptoms in cancer survivors, and that improvement in resilience through the Relaxation Response Resiliency Program (3RP), a psychotherapy group that reduces emotional distress, would reduce cognitive symptoms in cancer survivors. Methods: Consistent with prior protocols, adult cancer survivors participated in the 3RP program, a 9-week resiliency mind-body group treatment led by psychologists and/or psychiatrists. Survivors completed measures of cognitive symptoms (Patient Reported Outcome Measure Information System – Cognitive function; PROMIS-Cog) and resilience (Current Experiences Scale; CES) before and after treatment. Pearson correlations evaluated relationships between resilience and cognition. Results: 46 cancer survivors (mean age = 57, 85% female, 94% White, 4% Asian, 2% Black) completed \ CES and PROMIS-Cog at therapy intake, with 41% of subjects reporting significant cognitive impairment at baseline (defined as scores of < 1.0 SD on PROMIS-Cog). There was a significant correlation between these two scales prior to treatment (r = 0.33; p = 0.025), indicating that subjects with lower resilience reported poorer cognition. Thus far, 13 survivors have completed the 8-week therapy program, with 46% of these patients reporting significant cognitive difficulties. The post-treatment correlation between resilience and cognition was nonsignificant (r = 0.19;p = ns). Treatment effects were operationalized by change scores (follow up – baseline) for CES and PROMIS-Cog. The relationship between CES and PROMIS-Cog change scores was positive but not significant with the small sample size (r = 0.35; p = 0.028). Conclusions: This preliminary study suggests that there is a relationship between resilience and cognition in cancer survivors. Improvements in resilience through the 3RP treatment may reduce cognitive symptoms, though further work is needed to determine the significance of this effect.

The family has been described as the center or heart of societal relationships. There has been a historic neglect of research in area of counseling for the family members of substance abusers. As result, treatment for individual family members affected by alcoholism and drug addiction remains a neglected component of majority of addiction programs. The study used a sample of 36 families who participated in family therapy intensive outpatient and inpatient treatment program during 2 years. This study explored the efficacy of family-based treatment in changing family’s attitudes toward people with addiction and toward specific relative with addiction. The participants were in two groups; ethnographic technique of action research model was used. Participants in the treatment group received treatment session and participants in the control group did not receive treatment session but had a general treatment program in health centers. This study had two phases: (1) recruiting, selecting, interviewing, and determining eligibility of family members from both groups in the study and (2) applying the intervention to the treatment group with the help of cognitive-behavioral group counseling. This treatment program comprised of solution-focused family skilled training therapy, action learning techniques, community and peer mentorship, and parent training was effective in reducing addicts drug ingestion, changing their attitudes about drug use, increasing knowledge of the physical consequences of drug use, and improving competent behaviors. Family therapy enhanced family resilience, structure, and strong ties; the program improved problem-solving skills, coping skills, and family resiliency levels of the addicts.

This study investigated the relationships among stress, intrapersonal resiliency factors (self-esteem, locus of control, and optimism) and quality of life [QOL] (physical health and mental health) among caregivers of children with high functioning autism spectrum disorders (HFASDs). Participants consisted of 113 caregivers of children with HFASDs (males = 38.1%, females = 61.9%; age range = 27–62; 93.6% Caucasians) and 47 caregivers of typically developing children (males = 29.8%; females = 70.2%; age range = 30–56; 93.3% Caucasians). They completed a set of self-rating surveys on perceived locus of control, self-esteem, optimism, and QOL. Within-group inferential statistical analyses were applied. For the HFASD group analyses, two simultaneous regression analyses were used to study the independent effects of the three intrapersonal variables on the physical health and mental health QOL of the caregivers. Intrapersonal factors predicted self-reported mental health QOL but not physical health QOL in caregivers of children with HFASDs.

Background Psychological distress, isolation, feelings of powerlessness, and limited social support are realities faced by temporary migrant live-in caregivers in Canada. Furthermore, they experience multiple barriers in accessing mental health services due to their long work hours, limited knowledge of health resources, precarious employment, and immigration status. Objective The Women Empowerment - Caregiver Acceptance & Resilience E-Learning (WE2CARE) project is a pilot intervention research project that aims to promote the mental well-being and resiliency of migrant live-in caregivers. The objectives include exploring the effectiveness of this program in achieving the following: (1) reducing psychological distress (depression, anxiety, and stress); (2) promoting committed actions of self-care; and (3) building mutual support social networks. Further, participants’ satisfaction with the intervention and their perceived barriers to and facilitators of practicing the self-care strategies embedded in WE2CARE will be examined. Methods A total of 36 live-in caregivers residing in the Greater Toronto Area will be recruited and randomly assigned to either the intervention or waitlist control group. The intervention group will receive a 6-week web-based psychosocial intervention that will be based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Standardized self-reported surveys will be administered online preintervention, postintervention, and at 6 weeks postintervention to assess mental distress (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale), psychological flexibility (Acceptance and Action Questionnaire), mindfulness (Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale – Revised), and resilience (Multi-System Model of Resilience Inventory). In addition, two focus groups will be held with a subset of participants to explore their feedback on the utility of the WE2CARE program. Results WE2CARE was funded in January 2019 for a year. The protocol was approved by the research ethics boards of Ryerson University (REB 2019-036) and the University of Toronto (RIS37623) in February and May 2019, respectively. Data collection started upon ethics approval and was completed by May 2020. A total of 29 caregivers completed the study and 20 participated in the focus groups. Data analyses are in progress and results will be published in 2021. Conclusions WE2CARE could be a promising approach to reducing stress, promoting resilience, and providing a virtual space for peer emotional support and collaborative learning among socially isolated and marginalized women. The results of this pilot study will inform the adaptation of an ACT-based psychological intervention for online delivery and determine its utility in promoting mental health among disadvantaged and vulnerable populations.

7038 Background: Nowadays, science is debating if autophagy in cancer can lead to therapy resistance or it can favor apoptosis. Autophagy pathways are involved pro-apoptotic mechanism, or they can improve stresses survival eliminating damaged mitochondria and proteins. Levels and activity of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins (eg. bcl-2 and p53), high levels of cAMP, and a pink/park complex could play as fulcrum on this lever. Our study aims to define the role of autophagy in AML. Methods: We analyzed 148 consecutive non M3 AML with Affymetrix SNP array. We screened all patients for TP53, FLT3, NMP1 mutations. Patients was treated with intensive induction chemotherapy regimens. Survival data were collected prospectively, with a median follow-up of 18 months. Results: Autophagy alteration (gene group 1: ULK1 CHR11; ULK1 CHR17; BECN1; ATG14; AMBRA1; UVRAG; ATG9A; ATG9B; PIK3C3; PIK3R4) was related to lower Complete Remission rate (CR%) after induction in univariate (p < .001) and multivariable regression model with age, karyotype, secondary AML, TP53 mutation (p = .014); autophagy alteration shown to confer worst Overal Survival (OS) (p < .001) and was significantly associated with complex karyotype and TP53 mutation (p < .001). We detected significant differences in term of survival independently both in gain and loss in group 1 genes (p < .001). Alterations in genes in cAMP pathway (group 2: SESN1; PRKAA1 CHR 3; PRKAB1: PRKAA1 CHR 1: PRKAG1 CHR11; PRKAG1 CHR 7; PRKAG3; PRKAB1) and in genes that could be related to a switch from a physiological role of autophagy to a resiliency mechanism (group 3: CCND1; BCL2; PINK1; PARK2; TP53; MDM1; MDM4) showed to confer worst OS (p < .001 in both groups); Alteration in group 2 and group 3 were related to lower CR% after induction (p < .001 in both groups). Whole Exome Sequencing on 56 patients in our set did not found any significant mutation in genes we analyzed with the exception of TP53. Conclusions: Alterations in autophagy regulator genes are associated with poor prognosis and therapy resistance. A loss in autophagy could block apoptosis, a gain could confer cell resiliency.

Abstract Adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) are vulnerable to resilience or resilience to their problems. Resilience is an important part for adolescents to have in order to overcome their problems. One of the psychological interventions that can be done is to increase resilience by using the Neuro-Linguistic Therapy Program (NLP), in which this therapy focuses on thinking patterns and information processing so that adolescents can practice independently when the desire to hurt themselves arises. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of NLP therapy to increase the resilience of adolescents with NSSI. This research is a quantitative study using a pre-experimental design approach with one group pretest-posttest design. The data collection method used was the Self-Harm Behavior Questionnaire (SHBQ) scale to determine the NSSI behavior in adolescents, and to use a resilience scale before and after therapy to measure the results of NLP therapy treatment. Participants in this study were students with NSSI behavior consisting of three female students and two male students. The results showed that NLP therapy was effective in increasing the resilience of students with NSSI. The implications and limitations of the study are discussed.Keywords: Adolescent Resilience; Neuro Linguistic Programming Therapy; Non-Suicidal Self Injury.

<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>This study aims to increase resilience among survivors of violence against women through support group therapy. As resilience increases, survivors of violence against women form a powerless community of women as a vehicle for victims of violence to share experiences. This research is important because the number of violence against women shows an increasing trend from year to year. The hypothesis in this study is that there are differences in resilience of survivors of violence against women in experimental group and control group after group therapy. Subjects in this study were 10 women victims of violence aged between 35-40 years at Seruni Kota Semarang Integrated Service Center and divided into experimental groups and control groups. The measuring tool used is Modified Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Modules were taken from the therapy groups of Brabender, Smolar, and Fallon supporters (2004). The study used quasi experiment with non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design. Data were analyzed using different test of independent sample t-test. The result of the research shows that there is difference of resilience scores of survivors against women in experimental group and control group with p = 0,001 (p <0,05).

Abstract Introduction PI3P is a key regulator of cell growth, and mediates cell proliferation via PI3K/AKT/mTOR in response to various growth signals. Abnormal activation of genes in its pathway is associated to oncogenic activity and poor Overall Survival (OS). PI3P is also a core activator of autophagy. Which role autophagy plays in cancer is not well established; it can function as a pro-apoptotic mechanism, or it can improve survive to stresses clearing damaged mitochondria and proteins accumulation, preventing apoptosis. Levels and activity of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic proteins, particularly bcl-2 and p53, membrane signaling via mTOR, high levels of cAMP, a complex made by pink/park, promote a switch from apoptotic autophagy toward a mechanism that augment cell resiliency. Our study aims to define the role of PI3P pathways in AML, and to establish if autophagy could reduce the patients' chance to respond to induction, and to worsen OS. Methods We analyzed 208 consecutive newly diagnosed non M3 AML patients, screened for TP53, FLT3, NMP1, IDH1, IDH2, and DNMT3A mutations. Remission status was assessed with bone marrow biopsy. In all the patients, we perform Microarray-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization with Affymetrix SNP array 6.0 or Cytoscan HD; we perform Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)in 80/208 patients. Survival data were collected prospectively, with a median follow-up of 18 months. Survival analysis was performed with Kaplan Meyer method using log rank test. Univariate and multivariable regression and Cox Hazard Ratio(HR) model was performed. Correlation between variables was assessed with Fisher's exact test. Results We analyzed 4 pathways (Table 1); we selected genes in pathways basing on literature and GO data. Alterations in these pathways involved 103/209 patients (48%). PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway alterations (both gains or losses) were shown to confer worst OS (p = .035, Figure 1a) when compared with unaltered patients; events in these pathways did not affect therapy response. Autophagy pathway alterations were shown to confer worst OS (p<.001, Figure 1b); alterations of autophagy were related to lower Complete Remission rate (CR%) after induction in univariate (p<.001) and multivariable regrassion with age, karyotype, secondary AML, TP53 mutation (p=0.014). Autophagy was significantly altered in patients with complex karyotype and TP53 mutation (p<.001). AMPK pathway alterations were shown to confer worst OS (p<.001, Figure 1c); Alteration of regulators in cAMP were related to lower CR% after induction in univariate (p<.001) and multivariable analysis with age, karyotype, secondary AML, TP53 mutation (p=0.009). AMPc pathway alteration was significantly associated with complex karyotype and TP53 mutation (p<.001). Autophagy switch pathway confer worst OS to patients(p<.001, figure 1d); autophagy switch was related to lower CR% after induction in univariate (p<.001) and multivariable analysis with age, karyotype, secondary AML (p<0.001). Autophagy switch was an independent risk factor in optimal Cox-HR model (p<.001, HR 2.996, CI 95% 2.101-4.271). Alterations in PINK or PARK did not showed to affect prognosis alone. Having at least an altered pathway is associated with worst prognosis (p <.001), and poor CR% after induction in univariate(p=.009) and multivariable analysis (p=.014). WES in a sub-cohort of patients did not found any significant mutation in genes we analyzed. This data is consistent with literature. Conclusions Our work investigates for the first time the role of PI3P pathways and autophagy in AML. Surprisingly, it showed that both positive and negative alterations in these pathways are associated with poor prognosis. Significantly, alterations in cAMP and autophagy pathways were associated with therapy resistance. These results point out that both positive and negative regulation of autophagy could worsen patients OS; a diminished autophagy could be linked to a hyper-proliferative state via activation of AKT/mTOR but an augmented autophagy could give cell resiliency, favoring cytoplasm turnover, damaged mitochondria elimination, and neutralizing oxidative damages to proteins. A pan-PI3K inhibitor could target these mechanisms and improve chemo-sensitivity in high risk AML. Acknowledgment: ELN, AIL, AIRC, PRIN, Progetto Regione-Università 2010-12 (L.

Abstract Background: There is a dearth of information on the compatibility of Western-developed, internet-based interventions that prevent onset and precipitation of depression in global settings. Recently, Project CATCH-IT (Competent Adulthood Transition with Cognitive-behavioral, Humanistic and Interpersonal Training), an information technology-based intervention, was adapted to prevent depression in Hong Kong Chinese adolescents. This paper evaluates qualitative data from consultations to develop a revised intervention of CATCH-IT for Hong Kong youth. Methods: A theoretical thematic analysis approach was used to analyze data. Materials from three consultation trips which included focus groups (2007), an expert panel (2007), a public health campaign (2009), and a joint primary care physician-social worker review group (2010) were compiled. Authors (KS and AZ) independently reviewed the data and applied the theoretical framework of behavioral vaccines to code the data. These data were subsequently consolidated to provide a coherent narrative analysis. Results: The cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), behavioral activation (BA), and resiliency modules were maintained, while the interpersonal therapy (IPT) modules of CATCH-IT were excluded in the Hong Kong adaptation. Concurrent self-reports of drinking, smoking, illicit drug use and gambling behavior were added. Rather than primary care consultations, social worker consultations may be the best point of entry for intervention. Conclusion: Socio-cultural relevance of psychotherapeutics and delivery context of internet-based interventions will require significant adaptation for the Hong Kong setting. However, because of community engagement throughout the process of adaptation, we believe the CATCH-IT intervention can be adapted for Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong with retained fidelity. The revised intervention is called “Grasp the Opportunity”.

Full textAbstract:
Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life of patients with chronic and advanced illnesses and their families. This requires a multidisciplinary approach from formal caregivers. Though caring for others could be rewarding and this satisfaction relates to higher work engagement and resiliency, formal caregivers of palliative care patients may develop compassion fatigue due to the nature of their work. This fatigue affects caregivers, their interpersonal relationships, and the quality of care they provide. Supporting formal caregivers and improving communication plays a vital role. Considering the efficacy of the existential interventions in other populations, and the lack of testing of these interventions on formal caregivers of palliative care teams, this article aims to describe the design and development of an eight-session cognitive-existential group-based psychoeducational intervention to reduce compassion fatigue and to promote self-care and satisfaction of formal caregivers of palliative care patients in a Latin American context. The intervention used Frankl’s Logotherapy and Ellis’ rational emotive therapy as the theoretical framework and included the necessities of formal caregivers in this specific setting. As a result, this article presents the theoretical development of the intervention and its structure, as well as the objectives and specific content of each session. Empirical research, reported elsewhere, has proven its long-term effectiveness in reducing the compassion fatigue of this population. This makes it a replicable intervention with promising results. Future studies need to continue its evaluation and include professionals in other settings outside palliative care.

AbstractObjective:Several studies have successfully tested psychosocial interventions in palliative care patients. Counseling is the technique most often employed. Dignity therapy (DT) has recently emerged as a tool that can be utilized to address patients' needs at the end of life. The aims of our study were to examine the effects of DT and counseling and to offer useful information that could be put into practice to better meet patients' needs.Method:We developed a pilot randomized controlled trial at the Home Care Unit of the General University Hospital of Valencia (Spain). Some 70 patients were assigned to two therapy groups. The measurement instruments employed included the Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Brief Resilient Coping Scale (BRCS), the GES Questionnaire, the Duke–UNC-11 Functional Social Support Questionnaire, and two items from the EORTC Quality of Life C30 Questionnaire (EORTC–QLQ–C30).Results:The results of repeated-measures t tests showed statistically significant differences with respect to the dimensions of dignity, anxiety, spirituality, and quality of life for both groups. However, depression increased in the DT group after the intervention, and there were no differences with respect to resilience. Therapy in the counseling group did not negatively affect depression, and resilience did improve. When post-intervention differences between groups were calculated, statistically significant differences in anxiety were found, with lower scores in the counseling group (t(68) = –2.341, p = 0.022, d = 0.560).Significance of Results:Our study provided evidence for the efficacy of dignity therapy and counseling in improving the well-being of palliative home care patients, and it found better results in the counseling therapy group with respect to depression, resilience, and anxiety.

Abstract The Utah Geriatric Education Consortium (UGEC) provides education about Age-Friendly Health Care and Dementia-Friendly Communities to both informal and professional caregivers. As such, we have collaborated with our community partners to hold 12 “Fireside Chats” (2 in person, and 10 virtually due to COVID-19) between December 2019 and September 2020. Our expert speakers and panelists have given presentations on a variety of topics, specifically focused on coping with COVID-19, such as physical, music, and arts-based activities to do in the home, advance care planning, local services and supports, resiliency, and mindfulness. A total of 463 participants attended the Fireside Chats. A total of 169 attendees completed evaluations regarding the programs (a completion rate of 37%). Attendees were primarily White (86%), non-Hispanic (95%), well educated (86% had a college degree or higher), about half of the group were community caregivers (55%), while the other attendees were primarily from health professional backgrounds (e.g., nursing, social work, physical therapy). We obtained evaluation data in seven domains based on a 5-point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree). The mean level of agreement in the seven following domains were: satisfaction (M=4.68/SD=.53), effectiveness (M=4.72/SD=.52), met stated goals (M=4.70/SD=.53), met educational needs (M=4.64/SD=.6), will improve the care they provide (M=4.57/SD=.70), included useful examples (M=4.59/SD=.66), and was better than similar trainings (M=4.23/SD=.86). These results along with steady attendance of our “Fireside Chats” demonstrate the need and satisfaction with our community-based education based on improving geriatric care practices within the community and in long-term services and support programs.

This study aims to increase resilience in mothers who have thalassemia children with support group therapy. Respondents in this study were eight mothers of thalassemia patients who were divided into control groups and experimental groups. The scale used in this study is the Modified Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design with follow-up. Data obtained in the study were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney nonparametric test to compare scores between groups given Therapy Support Groups and groups not given intervention. The results showed that there were differences in resilience scores between the control group and the experimental group after being given Support Group Therapy, with p = 0.024 (p <0.05). This study concluded that support group therapy was effective for increasing resilience in mothers who had children with thalassemia.

Background: Athletes might build long-term resilience due to their need to adapt constantly to stressful situations. Further, physical activity is a powerful tool for stress-release, and controlling anxiety and depressive symptoms which might induce resilience by enhancing coping skills. Objective: This study aimed to compare the resilience, psychological characteristics, and the resting-state brain cortical activity of athletes and non-athletes. The secondary goal was to identify which variables could predict the resilience score. Methods: Ninety participants were divided into three groups, athlete (n=30), physically active (n=30) and sedentary (n=30), and asked to fill out the international physical activity questionnaire – short version (IPAQ), the resilience scale, the Beck depression inventory (BDI) and the trait and state anxiety inventory (STAI). Moreover, resting-state brain cortical activity was recorded by using an EEG to compute the standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) analyses. Results: Significant differences between groups were observed in terms of resilience (X2=8.52; p=0.014) and physical activity level (X 2=76.07; p<0.001), with the athletes presenting higher values. Lower anxiety and depression, and higher physical activity levels were associated with higher resilience scores (R2=0.45; p=0.02). The results of sLORETA showed higher activity for sedentary individuals compared to athletes in frontal areas (Broadmann Area-BA 6, BA 8, BA 9), as well as when compared to physically active individuals in the superior frontal gyrus (BA 9). Additionally, physically active individuals presented less activity than athletes in the inferior occipital gyrus (BA 18). Conclusion: The results suggest that the physically active and athlete groups may have built a more resilient profile (compared to sedentary), have similar anxiety and depressive symptoms, and present a divergent resting-state brain cortical activity from the sedentary group, mainly in prefrontal areas. These findings suggest that regular physical activity and sports should be encouraged to aid in enhancing resilience and resting-state brain cortical function, and consequently, improving mental health.

Background: Resilience, as a variable affecting couples’ relationships and resolving conflicts between them, plays an essential role in family psychology and family therapy. Materials & Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test, a control group, and a 45-day follow-up design. The statistical population included all couples with low marital adjustment who were referred to the psychological counseling centers of Ahvaz City, Iran, in 2020. Thirty participants were selected using the convenience sampling method and randomly divided into the experimental and control groups (n=15 couples/group). The necessary data were collected using the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R), the Cognitive Avoidance Questionnaire (CAQ), and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The schema therapy program was performed for the experimental group in eight 90-minute weekly sessions; however, the control group received no intervention. The follow-up phase was performed after 45 days. Repeated-Measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used in SPSS to analyze the obtained data. Results: Schema therapy effectively decreased anxiety and cognitive avoidance and increased resilience among couples in the experimental group (P<0.001). The Mean±SD post-test score of resilience was measured as 50.87±4.64 in the experimental group, which increased, compared to the post-test scores (43.33±5.71) in the control group. Conclusion: Schema therapy decreased anxiety, cognitive avoidance, and significantly increased resilience in the examined couples. Schema therapy can be used to improve resilience in couples presenting marital conflicts.

This quasi-experimental pilot study examined the impact of multidisciplinary care, with a particular focus on occupational therapy (OT), on resilience in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Individuals with a diagnosis of MS who were receiving multidisciplinary care including outpatient OT at an MS center were invited to participate. A total of 36 individuals agreed to enroll and were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire and the Resilience Scale (RS). After an 8-week period of multidisciplinary treatment, the 35 individuals who completed treatment were again asked to complete the RS. As a group they demonstrated statistically significant improvement in resilience. A cohort of participants unexpectedly did not follow through with OT but did follow through with their other referrals. These individuals completed the RS before and after the 8-week time period and became an ad hoc control group. The group receiving OT showed significant improvement in resilience, while the control group did not. This study shows that a multidisciplinary approach to care, especially when it includes OT, is effective in treating individuals with MS. Occupational therapy focuses on treating symptoms that specifically limit daily functioning and participation, and may be uniquely positioned to affect resilience. Because resilience plays an important role in functional recovery and maintenance, this study suggests that OT may be a critical component of MS care in developing characteristics that enhance resilience.

Purpose – Much previous research has explored the impact of group work on the therapist. The purpose of this paper is to examine how group members tolerate the powerful material discussed in groups in a prison-based therapeutic community. The authors briefly describe the regime at HMP Grendon and previous research into the impact of group work on therapists. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative approach using a focus group was used to explore the impact of group work from the perspective of the group members. Themes emerging from the focus group were analysed using thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke, 2006). Participants included adult male violent and sexual offenders (n=10). The focus group was facilitated by two therapists, both based within HMP Grendon. Findings – Overarching themes emerged from the data which included – the type of material that has an impact on residents; the impact of this material on group members; and how residents manage it. A series of subthemes within these were identified, with salient themes including: the difficulty in listening to others offence histories and past experiences, managing the feelings of guilt and shame which can be overwhelming, feeling vulnerable/exposed, experiencing positive feelings for the first time as well as the benefits of therapy in eliciting change. Research limitations/implications – Uniquely the current study explores the impact of group therapy from the perspective of the group members. This is a previously unexplored area of research. As the study was conducted on a prison sample, it is unclear how well the findings would generalise to other populations. As such it is recommended that further research be conducted to validate the findings here. Practical implications – The present study indicates that group members process transference and counter-transference similar to therapists. It is suggested that therapists can use these findings to build resilience in group members. Originality/value – Previous research has described the impact of group work on therapists, uniquely this paper goes on to describe how group members process the material they are exposed to and how they manage their heightened emotions rather than acting on them. This should help therapists consider how best to develop resilience in group members.

Background:Panic disorder (PD) has a chronic nature, especially as a result of maladaptive coping strategies to deal with stressful events.Aims:To evaluate the impact of booster sessions with cognitive techniques on coping strategies, resilience, and quality of life (QoL) in patients previously submitted to standard cognitive-behavioural group therapy (CBGT) for PD.Method:A controlled clinical trial with 44 patients with PD (intervention = 20; control = 24) who had previously completed a 12-week CBGT protocol. PD, anxiety, and depression severity symptoms were assessed at baseline and 1, 6, and 12 months after the booster sessions. Coping strategies, resilience, and QoL were assessed by Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI), Resilience Scale, and WHOQOL-BREF respectively.Results:Over time, a significant improvement in PD and depression symptoms was observed in both groups. A significant increase in the QoL social relations domain was found in the booster group, considering a time/group interaction. Coping and other QoL domains did not change after the booster sessions. Changes in resilience were dependent on the intensity of symptoms, with negative but non-significant correlations.Conclusions:The improvement in PD and depression symptoms for both groups may be a result of the group format of the intervention. Group booster sessions after CBGT are useful to maintain the benefits obtained with CBGT.

The authors analysed the effects of group Sandplay therapy on adolescents' psychological health and resilience in a mixed-method research. They explored and categorized the themes these adolescents expressed during therapy. Fifteen children (n=15) were recruited for the study; (Boarding school children = 5; Day school children = 5; Street children = 5). The selection process was conducted in cooperation with an orphanage in Kabale, Uganda. The children who participated in the study underwent a forty-five-minute sand play therapy every week for nine weeks. The SDQ and RCADS were administered to the groups both pre- and post-intervention, with the data entered and analysed using SPSS. Group sandplay was found to significantly decrease the adolescents' internalizing problems such as anxiety and depression, while their resilience had also significantly improved. The narrative analysis, in turn, yielded seven themes: basic needs; community-love-celebration; giving help-leadership-empowerment; security-danger, recreation-self-development-self-nurturance, education, and seeking help-faith.

Pain and depressive states may have a negative impact on the quality of life of individuals with stroke. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a program of Ai Chi aquatic therapy on pain, depression, and quality of life in a sample of people with stroke. Forty-five participants received physiotherapy treatment on dry land (control group), an experimental group received aquatic Ai Chi therapy, and a combined therapy group received alternating sessions of physiotherapy on dry land and aquatic Ai Chi therapy. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scale for pain, the resilience scale, and the SF-36 quality of life scale were used as outcome measures. Statistically significant differences were found in the experimental group and the combined intervention group for post treatment pain and resilience (p < 0.001). Concerning the SF-36, statistically significant changes (p < 0.01) were found in the experimental group and the combined therapy group for all items except general health, vitality, and social function, where no between group differences were observed (p = 0.001). In conclusion, physical exercise performed in water has positive effects on several factors that contribute towards improving the mood and quality of life of people with acquired brain injury.

The aims of study were determine resilience’s level of prisoners before being released in Class II A’s Prison at Purwokerto; to find out the effectiveness of the Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) technique to increase the resilience of prisoners before being released in Class II A’s Prison at Purwokerto. This research was experimental study, while the type of experiment used is a type of pretest-posttest control group design experiment, an experiment that compares an effect on an experimental group that will be subject to treatment with a control group that is not subject to the dependent variable. The number of respondents were 20 prisoners. The results showed that the CBT technique could increase the resilience of prisoners before they were released in Class II A’s Prison at Purwokerto. This was evidenced by analysis of the description which states that an increase in prisoner resilience from the beginning per test before treatment and after treatment (treatment). The effectiveness of the CBT technique has been proven to increase the resilience of prisoners to an increase after receiving treatment with the CBT technique. Significant improvement was seen from paired sample test t and Ngain test showed that the hypothesis was accepted. The conclusion was CBT techniques are effective in increasing prisoners to be released in Class II A’s Prison at Purwokerto.

Full textAbstract:
In general, bullying has negative effects on victims, including increased anxiety, decreased self-esteem, self-distrust and depression. These things will affect to the concentration of student learning which ultimately leads to decrease learning achievement and more risk of suicide in adolescents. Therefore, developing the resilience of youth victims of bullying is needed to provide therapeutic coping to avoid these adverse effects. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Spiritual-based psychoeducation therapy on the Level of Resilience of Youth Victims of Bullying. This is quasy experimental pre-post test research with total sampling. The sample is high school students who have experienced bullying in the past month, are physically healthy, and have no disabilities. The sample of this study was 50 and has been divided into two groups, namely the intervention group and the control group. This research used questionnaire’s ability of resilience in adolescents by Gail M wagnild and Heather M. Young. The results showed a significant effect of psychoeducation spiritual therapy on the level of adolescent resilience (p-value is 0.000 by Kolmogorov Smirnov). Schools need to consider this therapy as a choice to be applied to student victims of bullying.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Millions of American children under the age of 18 are being cared for by their grandparents and without the presence of the biological parents. The number of custodial grandfamilies has significantly increased over the last five years. Recent studies have shown that custodial grandparents (CPGs) are often facing specific challenges in life, such as lower emotional well-being, higher parenting burden and stress related to this unique situation. Despite these findings, few interventions take a strengths based approach to improve their mental health and resilience. We describe our efforts to address these issues by proposing intervention anchored in the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), emphasizing the importance of acceptance of challenging circumstances outside of one’s control and promoting resilience among participants. The program consists of a web based ACT program with online coaching meetings, six common core sessions and six separate sessions for each age group over a time period of six months. This program is unique in the sense that it utilizes both individual and group session techniques to facilitate the learning process. Main active ingredients of this program are to promote effective coping strategies, to reduce parenting stress among grandparents and to increase life skills (i.e., decision-making, proactivity) among grandchildren. We are hypothesizing that participating in the ACT program will help CGPs to improve self-efficacy, emotional well-being, higher self-confidence, social competence, lower depressive symptoms, and parenting distress, thereby leading to positive outcomes such as improved mental health and higher resilience.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Resilience is a positive psychological characteristic that reflects an individual's capacity to better perceive, deal with, and overcome adversity; the sports environment is replete with adversities, which increase athletes' stress levels and may lead to undesirable outcomes. Objective: To analyze the impact of resilience levels on stress and recovery in athletes. Methods: Subjects were 150 athletes (aged 22.46 ± 5.97) of both sexes (92 men and 58 women) who competed in the 2012 Paraná Open Games in different sports (107 in team and 43 in individual sports). Instruments were the Recovery-Stress Questionnaire (RESTQ-76 Sport) and a resilience questionnaire (CD-RISC-10). The following tests were used for data analysis: Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, Spearman Correlation Coefficient and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Results: The model significantly explained stress and recovery variability in 20% and 22%, respectively; age-predicted resilience was 11%; the model invariance test indicated a significant influence of sex and type of sport (multi-group analysis). Conclusion: Resilience plays an essential role in coping with and recovering from stress in competitive sports contexts, which is considered a determinant of success.

Full textAbstract:
After being ranked first in the global burden of diseases, mental health problems have increased by 70-100% in various countries due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Reported by WHO (2020), many people experience psychological complaints such as anxiety, stress, frustration, and depression. The education sector is the largest community group affected by mental health problems due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Many studies have stated that students experience stress, anxiety, depression, and decreased productivity due to various policies during the Covid-19 pandemic. Resilience has a strong influence on a person's psychological well-being. Resilience is the ability to adapt a person in a bad and threatening situation. Therefore, it is necessary to increase psychological resilience to be able to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. This study seeks to improve the psychological resilience of students of the Prodi Tasawuf dan Psikoterapi with the Kidung Wahyu Kalaseba therapy. Kidung Wahyu Kalaseba is a Javanese song that has Javanese-Islamic religious values inherited from Walisongo, especially Sunan Kalijaga. The study was conducted on 30 samples of students of the Prodi Tasawuf dan Psikoterapi through a one group pretest-posttest experimental design. Through t test analysis and regression test, it was found that the Kidung Wahyu Kalaseba therapy had a significant effect in increasing psychological resilience, 25.24% with a significance level (0.002). This research is an effort to explore the value of indigenous psychotherapy from Javanese-Muslims culture that can be used to overcome mental health problems.

ObjectiveDetermining the prevalence of mental health symptoms (MHS) among Australian professional footballers compared with former players. A secondary aim was to assess whether MHS were associated with recent injury and psychological resilience.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 149 male (mean age: 24 years) and 132 female (mean age: 23 years) Australian A-League and W-League professional footballers (study group) and 81 former male footballers (control group, mean age: 39 years) for analysis. MHS and psychological resilience were assessed through validated questionnaires. Severe injuries were assessed through a single question. The adjusted Wald method was used to assess the primary aim. Logistic regression analyses was used to assess the secondary aim.ResultsThe most prevalent MHS among active footballers and former footballers was sport-related psychological distress (63%) and alcohol misuse (69%), respectively. Global psychological distress, sleep disturbance, alcohol misuse and substance misuse were significantly lower among active male footballers than among former players. Increased psychological resilience among active male footballers was associated with a decrease in symptoms of sport-related and global psychological distress, anxiety and depression of 9%, 14%, 23% and 20%, respectively. Increased psychological resilience among female players was associated with 10% decrease in symptoms of depression. Problem gambling and sleep disturbance was associated with injury in the previous 6 months among active male and female footballers, respectively.ConclusionsMHS are prevalent among active and former professional footballers. Higher level of psychological resilience is associated with decreased reporting of MHS. Severe injury is associated with problem gambling and sleep disturbance.

Full textAbstract:
Many sports teams engage in collective rituals (e.g., the New Zealand All Blacks’ haka). While the concept has been studied extensively in other fields (e.g., social psychology and cultural anthropology), literature on collective rituals specific to sport is limited. Leveraging theoretical positions and empirical findings from across the human and social sciences, the application of an existing definition of collective ritual in team sports is explored. Complementary research is suggestive of a potential link between collective rituals and two growing topics of interest in group dynamics, namely, team resilience and communal coping. Collective rituals can bolster team resilience by strengthening the group structure and increasing a team’s social capital. They can also serve as communal coping strategies, helping to manage team stressors as they arise. However, at the extremes, collective rituals can become problematic. Over-reliance and abusive rites of passage (i.e., hazing) are considered. Potential applied implications and future research directions in sport psychology are then discussed.

The paper presents the structure and content of a manual for a proposed treatment of breast cancer patients in groups. The proposed treatment is structured, time limited, and integrates elements from 1995 work of Spiegel and the Yalom 1995 theory of group therapy as well as empirically derived resilience factors. Addressing the psychological specificity of breast cancer, the overall treatment goals are to help patients to acquire new coping skills for relieving stress, to increase their personal and social competence and their use of available social support, to increase family coherence, to enhance optimism and quality of life, and to help patients develop new values and priorities that comply with their current and future life situation.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe current study presents a pilot demonstration of a new therapeutic procedure to mitigate symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The pilot took place during the Second Lebanon War. Vulnerability and resilience statements, as well as post-traumatic symptoms, were measured among special army administrative staff (SAAS) who worked in a hospital setting during extreme and prolonged war stress. All 13 soldiers in the unit studied participated in seven group therapy intervention sessions. It was hypothesized that shifting the focus of therapeutic intervention from the scenes of the events to the personal and professional narratives of preparing for the event would change the content of the soldiers’ narratives. It was believed that subtracting the number of positive statements from the number of negative statements would yield increasingly higher “resilience scores” during and after the war. It also was believed that such a change would be reflected in reduction of post-traumatic symptoms. As expected, the participants showed a decrease in vulnerability and an increase in resilience contents, as well as a decrease in traumatic symptoms during and after the war. These findings may reflect the effects of the ceasefire, the mutually supportive attitude of the participants, and the therapeutic interventions.
