Is there a prospective association between psychological distress as measured by the CORE-OM and treatment attendance and treatment duration? A follow-up study at a Norwegian Community Mental Health Centre
CONCLUSION: Higher patient-reported psychological distress as measured by the CORE-OM at the start of treatment was prospectively associated with treatment duration but not with treatment attendance or drop-out of treatment. The findings imply that patients with higher initial psychological distress need longer treatment but that treatment attendance may be related to factors other than the severity of distress.PMID:38270392 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2306217 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Effects of peritraumatic reactions on post-traumatic stress among Kahramanmaras earthquake survivors
CONCLUSION: The findings of the study revealed a robust association between peritraumatic reactions and both depression and PTSD, shedding light on the underlying processes in the development of trauma-related disorders. Early assessment of peritraumatic reactions may be useful in identifying individuals at risk of developing PTSD and depression.PMID:38165775 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2023.2291548 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

A multifaceted approach to assessment of mentalization: the mentalization profile in patients with eating disorders
Nord J Psychiatry. 2023 Dec 22:1-7. doi: 10.1080/08039488.2023.2291177. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPurpose: The existing literature, however sparse, suggests an association between eating disorders (ED) and mentalization ability. The aim of this study was to investigate the mentalization profile (MP) in patients with ED. It was hypothesized that patients with ED would have a lower degree of mentalization ability compared to healthy controls (HC).Materials and methods: The study is based on a cross-sectional survey on a sample of patients diagnosed with ED compared to a HC group.Results and conclusion: A total of 88 part...
