Aims: This study examined the relationships among three factors – body investment, use suicide proneness as measured by Life Attitudes Schedule Short Form (LAS-SF) college students (N = 318). Methods: Path analysis was used to construct a causal model proneness. The Body Investment Scale (BIS) subscales were assumed be...
Patients hospitalized for psychiatric reasons exhibit significantly elevated risk of suicide, yet the research literature contains very few outcome studies interventions designed suicidal inpatients. This pilot study examined inpatient feasibility and effectiveness The Collaborative Assessment Management Suicidality (CAMS), a structured evidence-based method assessment treatment planning (Jobes, 2006). used an open-trial, case-focused design to assess adaptation CAMS, spread over period...
Article Abstract Objective: Accurate prediction of suicide remains elusive due to lack predictive measures. Given the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale's (C-SSRS) emerging "gold-standard" status for risk assessment, studies are needed assess its psychometric properties, particularly validity. The current study adds limited literature by assessing C-SSRS's internal consistency, factor structure, concurrent validity, and Methods: In this longitudinal 1,055 adults with DSM-IV diagnoses...
A growing body of literature indicates that suicidal patients differ from other psychiatric with respect to specific psychological vulnerabilities and suicide-specific interventions may offer benefits beyond conventional care. This naturalistic controlled-comparison trial (n = 52) examined outcomes intensive hospital treatment (mean length stay 58.8 days), comparing who received individual therapy clinicians utilizing the Collaborative Assessment Management Suicidality (CAMS) whose...

The cognitive model of suicide makes specific predictions about the role cognition in risk. This study examined psychometric properties Suicide Cognitions Scale (SCS), an instrument designed to measure suicide-specific cognitions, a sample 150 patients (age range, 18-75 years, SD = 14.42; 56% female, 94% White) hospitalized for risk associated with multiple, treatment-resistant psychiatric conditions. Findings revealed strong properties, including internal consistency and test-retest...
In this study, we set out to extend empirical research on the Life-Death Implicit Association Test (IAT) by administering measure an adult psychiatric inpatient population with suicidal ideation. We sought examine its association other suicide-relevant measures and determine whether it adds predictive utility beyond that offered of suicide risk. The IAT was administered (N = 124) at biweekly intervals as part assessment battery facility for complex, treatment resistant disorders (average...
The authors describe an evolving outcomes project implemented across the adult inpatient programs at Menninger Clinic. In phase of project, patients complete a computerized battery standardized scales admission, biweekly intervals throughout treatment, and discharge. addition to providing aggregate data for research, these assessments are incorporated into routine clinical care, with results each individual assessment provided treatment team patient. employs Web-based software in preparation...
Objectives: This study sought to assess the utility of Imagery Rehearsal Therapy (IRT) for nightmares in an inpatient psychiatric setting. Although IRT enjoys a substantial evidence base efficacy various populations, data with inpatients are lacking. Participants: Participants were 20 adult (11 male, 9 female; mean age=43.4), extended stay facility. All participants diagnosed multiple, treatment resistant, comorbid conditions, including mood disorders, anxiety personality and...
Article AbstractObjective: Changes in the parameters of inpatient psychiatric care have inspired a sizable literature exploring correlates prolonged intervention as well symptom change over varying lengths hospitalization. However, existing data offer limited insight regarding nature time. Objectives this longitudinal research were to (1) model trajectory depressive symptoms within an sample, (2) identify characteristics associated with unique patterns change, and (3) evaluate magnitude...
Background: Concerns for patient safety have risen to the forefront of health care, including mental care. Safe care depends, a large extent, on high functioning teams, yet team training is lacking in basic professional programs. To address need training, one psychiatric hospital adopted Team Strategies and Tools Enhance Performance Patient Safety program (TeamSTEPPS). Objectives: describe implementation TeamSTEPPS throughout organization differences attributes prior following TeamSTEPPS....
In this article, the authors describe CAMS-M, a novel approach to working therapeutically with suicidal psychiatric inpatients, goal of reducing likelihood future crises. developed at The Menninger Clinic, is an adaptation Collaborative Assessment and Management Suicidality (CAMS), framework promising early research findings in outpatient settings (Jobes, 2006). Here, we provide detailed description how it differs from CAMS its original form, discuss issues around implementation hospital...
Although sleep is an important risk factor for suicidal behavior, research has yet to examine the association between problems and suicidality across course of inpatient treatment. This study examined relationship among sleep-related symptoms ideation treatment.To whether poor at admission longitudinally predicts less improvement in over Further, reduced patients whose does not improve.The utilized Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)-II, which contains items measuring depressive symptoms,...
