Evaluating the Performance of the Primary Care Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Screen for DSM-5 (PC-PTSD-5) in a Trauma-Exposed, Socioeconomically Vulnerable Patient Population
This study evaluates the performance of the PC-PTSD-5 to determine whether it can be used as a brief alternative to the PTSD Checklist forDSM-5 (PCL-5) in a large public hospital in the southeastern United States. Participants (N = 422; 92.7% Black; 85.8% female;Mage = 42.0 years,SDage = 13.4 years) completed the PCL-5 and PC-PTSD-5 after recruitment from medical clinic waiting rooms and admission lists. Using chance-corrected test quality indices and item response theory (IRT) analyses, we determined optimal cut-scores for screening and examined item performance. Approximat ely 45.0% of the sample screened p...

Exploring the Impact of Covid-19-Related Perceptions on Psychological Distress and Quality of Life in an International Gastrointestinal Cohort Over Time Guided by the Common Sense Model
AbstractThe aim of this longitudinal study was to examine changes in COVID-19 and illness-related perceptions, gastrointestinal symptoms, coping, catastrophising, psychological distress, and QoL during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 831 adults with a gastrointestinal condition completed an online questionnaire at baseline (May —October 2020). Of those, 270 (32.5%) participants (85.2% female, mean age = 47.3 years) provided follow-up data (March—May 2021). Repeated-measures multiple analysis of variance and a cross-lagged panel model were used to test the study hypotheses. Gastrointestinal symptoms and COVID-19 ...

Pediatric Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: A Longitudinal Assessment of Health-Related Quality of Life of Pediatric Donors
AbstractPediatric donors may be at increased risk of psychological and social challenges following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Through a retrospective chart review, we evaluated the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of pediatric donors over time and examined facilitators and barriers to implementing a longitudinal psychosocial assessment. Fifty-one pediatric donors (M = 10.7 years,SD = 3.7) completed an HRQL questionnaire across six time points (T1 to T6) from prior to donation to 2 years after. Change in mean scores was assessed using a linear mixed-effect model for repeated measures design. Fa...

Beyond Clinical Care: The Role of Pediatric Psychology in Supporting Postpartum Depression Screening in Primary Care
AbstractMaternal health is a critical component of optimal child health and development. Consequently, the American Academy of Pediatrics added postpartum depression (PPD) screening to their psychosocial screening guidelines in 2017. The Healthy Mothers, Healthy Children Project (HMHCP) was an interprofessional initiative aimed at preparing for, then implementing and maintaining pediatrician-completed PPD screening at 1-month well visits in a pediatric primary care clinic. Roles of pediatric psychology and rates of PPD screening were examined. Pediatric psychologists actively participated as leaders and collaborators in a ...

Analysis of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives Presented Across US Academic Department of Surgery Websites in 2021
AbstractDespite increased attention devoted to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within academic medicine, representation, lack of workforce and leadership diversity, and bias within medicine remain persistent problems. The purpose of the current study was to understand the current efforts and attention to DEI within academic departments of surgery in the United States. 251 department of surgery websites were reviewed, using a standardized data collection form and scoring procedure, accompanied by a 10 percent fidelity check by an independent reviewer. Only 16% of departments of surgery included DEI-specific informati...

A Self-Help Manual for Psychological Distress and Quality of Life During a Haemopoietic Stem-Cell Transplant: An Effectiveness and Acceptability Pilot
This study aimed to pilot the utility of a self-help manual intervention during the acute phase of HSCT. Forty autologous and allogeneic HSCT candidates were randomly assigned to a self-help manual intervention or treatment as usual (TAU). Psychological distress (BSI-18) and QoL (FACT-BMT-Vs4) were measured pre-, 2 –3 weeks and 3 months post-HSCT. Linear mixed-effects analyses showed no significant group-time interaction for global QoL (p = .199) or global distress (p = .624). However, highlighting a protective role during admission, manual participants showed minimal QoL or somatic distress change at 2–3 we...

Moving Beyond Words: Leveraging Financial Resources to Improve Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Academic Medical Centers
AbstractDiversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts at academic medical centers (AMCs)  began prior to 2020, but have been accelerated after the death of George Floyd, leading many AMCs to recommit their support for DEI. Institutions crafted statements to decry racism, but we assert that institutions must make a transparent, continuous, and robust financial investment to truly show t heir commitment to DEI. This financial investment should focus on (1) advocacy efforts for programs that will contribute to DEI in health, (2) pipeline programs to support and guide minoritized students to enter health professions, and (3)...

A Path Toward Equity and Inclusion: Establishing a DEI Committee in a Department of Pediatrics
AbstractThe Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committee was established in 2017 within the Department of Pediatrics at Rush University Medical Center (RUMC), an academic medical health center located on the near west side of Chicago, IL. Results from climate surveys highlighted the need for increased DEI initiatives within the department, and a renewed national reckoning on racial tensions sparked an additional sense of urgency for system-level change. This paper outlines the initial creation and ongoing efforts of the DEI committee. Information related to the structure of our committee, aims of our work, progress tow...

What Predict Self-rated Health: A Cross-sectional Study Among Men and Women with Non-cardiac Chest Pain
AbstractThe study aimed to determine different lifestyle and clinical factors that predict self-rated health (SRH) in non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) patients. In this cross-sectional study, 360 NCCP patients filled out questionnaires about depression, somatization, body sensation, type D personality, and pain intensity. In addition, participants ’ lifestyle and socio-demographic data were obtained. Multiple regression analyses revealed that among men, pain intensity (OR 1.07; 95% CI 1.03, 1.12), depression (3.10; 1.38, 9.18), somatization (1.18; 1.08, 1.29) and sleep quality (6.23; 1.42, 27.27) were associated with self-r...

Association of Workplace Bullying with Suicide Ideation and Attempt Among Chinese Nurses During the COVID-19 Pandemic
AbstractNurses experience a high incidence of workplace bullying and are at a higher risk of suicide than the general population. However, there is no empirical evidence on how exposure to workplace bullying is associated with suicide ideation and attempts among nurses. Nurses were recruited from tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province, China, using stratified cluster sampling. Suicide ideation and attempts were assessed using two items, and the Workplace Psychologically Violent Behaviors Instrument was used to measure subtypes of workplace bullying. The prevalence of workplace bullying, suicide ideation, and suicide attem...
