Barriers to finding psychology postdoctoral training opportunities in intensive care settings.
Conclusions/Implications: These results suggest few opportunities exist for psychology training in intensive care settings and available opportunities are difficult to identify using standard search methods. The identified challenges also emphasize the need for advanced search features for training opportunities within APPIC/UPPD and/or a list of programs offering these training opportunities. Our results highlight the importance of program descriptions that accurately and comprehensively reflect training opportunities—particularly relating to opportunities in intensive care settings.

Evaluation of online adaptive yoga for psychological well-being in adults with disabilities.
Conclusions/Implications: The present study provides support for well-being programs for an underserved group; specifically, an online adaptive yoga program with routine outcome monitoring assessments has preliminary effectiveness in increasing mindfulness.

Longitudinal health-related quality of life in military caregivers no longer providing care.
Conclusions/Implications: While some improvement in HRQOL was noted when caregivers were no longer providing care, many continued to report elevated scores. Services and supports are required for caregivers when providing care, but also when transitioning out of a caregiving role.

Predicting physical activity for people with multiple sclerosis: The role of exercise-related cognitive errors.
Rehabilitation Psychology, Vol 69(1), Feb 2024, 29-35; doi:10.1037/rep0000517Purpose: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that is chronic, progressive characterized by symptoms of relapsing fatigue and pain. Despite evidence supporting the use of physical activity (PA) for MS symptom management, low rates of PA participation are observed. Previous research suggests exercise-related cognitive errors (ECEs) can deter and decrease PA participation. The purpose of this study was to examine whether ECEs and self-regulatory efficacy for MS symptom control predict important behavior-related outcomes for MS self-mana...

Impact of amputation of the upper limb and prostheses on perceptions of competence, warmth, and functional abilities.
Conclusions/Implications: Our research shows that people generally hold positive attitudes toward individuals with AUL when they use prostheses. However, traditional stereotypes persist for those who do not. Negative biases toward women should be accounted for in disability stigma studies. The cause of amputation did not influence ratings. Prostheses that appear to be advanced technology positively influenced ratings of functional ability when compared to traditional body-powered types.

Barriers to mental health service use among people with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusions/Implications: This study provides vital descriptive data on the pattern of mental health service utilization among PWD during the COVID-19 pandemic, a uniquely disruptive, challenging time. Findings further underscore the necessity of providing disability competency training and bias reduction interventions to mental health professionals, as anticipated provider disability bias was a key factor in nonservice use of PWD.

Subjective well-being of adults with multiple sclerosis during COVID-19: Evaluating stress–appraisal–coping and person–environment factors.
Conclusions: Findings from this study support a stress management and well-being model based on constructs of Lazarus and Folkman’s stress–appraisal–coping theory and positive person–environment contextual factors, which can inform the development of theory-driven and empirically supported stress management and well-being interventions for people with MS during the ongoing global health crisis.
