Insomnia is associated with elevated levels of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Emerging evidence suggests that cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) may reduce ideation (SI). However, the role digital therapeutics in both alleviation prevention SI remains unclear, treatment mechanisms facilitating reductions have not been clearly identified.A total 658 adults Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders, 5th Edition disorder enrolled a single-site randomized controlled trial...
The study had three primary goals. First, we estimated survey-assessed DSM-5 insomnia disorder rates in pregnancy, and described associated sociodemographics, sleep-wake mental health symptoms. Second, derived cutoffs for detecting using common self-report measures of sleep Third, identified clinically relevant cut-points on nocturnal cognitive somatic arousal.Ninety-nine women (85.9% the 2nd trimester) completed online surveys including criteria, Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Pittsburgh...
Trauma exposure poses a risk for diagnoses beyond trauma and stressor-related disorders listed in current psychological taxonomies. Alternative models, such as the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology, posit that phenomena are better organized hierarchical manner, with broader dimensions accounting covariation among lower order syndromes. Thus, present study investigated relationships between internalizing syndromes through higher dimensions. Undergraduates (N = 585) at large midwestern...
Acute trauma patients are vulnerable to suicidality following hospitalization. Research suggests nightmares and insomnia may interact potentiate suicidality, possibly due worsening co-occurring insomnia. Nightmares common stress reactions acute might compound suicide risk within acutely traumatized patients. We tested the prospective relationship between immediately after on future suicidal ideation (SI). Patients hospitalized in Detroit, MI traumatic injury (M age = 39.53 ± SD 14.31 years,...
Childhood maltreatment has well-documented relationships with emotional dysregulation. Emotional dysregulation confers heightened risk for psychopathology and therefore represents an important therapeutic target survivors of childhood maltreatment. Emerging research suggests that deficits in self-compassion may be one pathway by which adversely impacts regulation processes. The current study sought to replicate previous investigating the mitigating effects on a nonclinical sample women...
Abstract Objectives Combining mindfulness with behavioral sleep strategies has been found to alleviate symptoms of insomnia and depression during pregnancy, but mechanisms for this treatment approach remain unclear. The present study examined nocturnal cognitive arousal effort as potential alleviating via a program pregnant women. Methods Secondary analysis from proof-of-concept trial 12 women DSM-5 disorder who were treated Perinatal Understanding Mindful Awareness Sleep (PUMAS), which...
Abstract Study Objectives Fear of sleep contributes to insomnia in some individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but remains uncharacterized first responders, a population high rates and PTSD. We evaluated the clinical relevance fear responders by (1) examining its relationship trauma types symptoms (2) assessing differences severity between those reporting provisional PTSD, insomnia, or both. Methods A cross-sectional study 242 across United States (59.2% male, 86.4% white,...
Objectives Cognitive-behavioral therapy and pharmacotherapy are effective insomnia treatments, yet half of patients do not remit. Emerging evidence indicates refractory cognitive arousal is associated with poor treatment outcomes, giving rise to the concept that therapeutic approaches directly aimed at reducing may benefit a history inadequate response intervention. This proof-of-concept study examined effects mindfulness-based for (MBTI) delivered individually via telemedicine on insomnia,...
Institutional betrayal reflects the failings of a trusted institution to prevent or respond appropriately negative experiences. Following sexual assault, survivors who encounter institutional may experience greater distress and poorer functioning. The current study sought assess construct validity Betrayal Questionnaire, Version 2 (IBQ.2) evaluate its factor structure. Survivors assault ( N = 426) were recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk completed various questionnaires related mental...
: Research suggests trauma-related nightmares (TRNs) during the acute aftermath of trauma may contribute to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, it is unknown who most vulnerable TRNs, which critical identify at-risk patients toward whom early nightmare-focused treatments can be targeted prevent PTSD.
Summary The COVID‐19 pandemic is a rare stressor that has precipitated an accompanying mental health crisis. Prospective studies traversing the pandemic's onset can elucidate how pre‐existing disease vulnerabilities augured risk for later stress‐related morbidity. We examined pre‐pandemic sleep reactivity predicted maladaptive stress reactions and depressive symptoms in response to, during, pandemic. This study secondary analysis of randomised controlled trial from 2016 to 2017 comparing...
Abstract Introduction Acute sleep disturbances are a common, modifiable consequence of trauma that, if left untreated, increase risk PTSD by nearly two-fold. This suggests acute after an important contributor to the etiology that could be targeted early prevent disorder. Yet, effective strategies cannot currently implemented because we identify who is most at trauma, thus obstructing ability high-risk groups in need intervention. study will test reactivity – trait predisposition experience...
