There are numerous campaigns targeting mental health stigma. However, evaluating how effective these in changing perceptions is complex. Social media may be used to assess stigma levels and highlight new trends. This study uses a social platform, Twitter, investigate stigmatising trivialising attitudes across range of physical conditions. Tweets (i.e. messages) associated with five conditions were collected ten 72-h windows over 50-day period using automated software. A random selection...
Pain-related emotions are a major barrier to effective self rehabilitation in chronic pain. Automated coaching systems capable of detecting these potential solution. This paper lays the foundation for development such by making three contributions. First, through literature reviews, an overview how pain is expressed and motivation it physical provided. Second, fully labelled multimodal dataset (named `EmoPain') containing high resolution multiple-view face videos, head mounted room audio...
Background Cognitive remediation (CR) is a psychological therapy, which improves cognitive and social functioning in people with schizophrenia. It now being implemented within routine clinical services mechanisms of change are explored. We designed new generation computerised CR programme, CIRCuiTS (Computerised Interactive Remediation Cognition – Training for Schizophrenia), to enhance strategic metacognitive processing, an integrated focus on the transfer skills daily living. This large...
The Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales (PSYRATS) is an instrument designed to quantify the severity of delusions and hallucinations typically used in research studies clinical settings focusing on people with psychosis schizophrenia. It comprised auditory (AHS) subscales (DS), but these do not necessarily reflect psychological constructs causing intercorrelation between clusters scale items. Identification important some contexts because item clustering may be caused by underlying etiological...
Abstract Background and Hypothesis Cognitive remediation (CR) benefits cognition functioning in psychosis but we do not know the optimal level of therapist contact, so evaluated potential different CR modes. Study Design A multi-arm, multi-center, single-blinded, adaptive trial therapist-supported CR. Participants from 11 NHS early intervention services were independently randomized to Independent, Group, One-to-One, or Treatment-as-usual (TAU). The primary outcome was functional recovery...
Background: Cognitive remediation (CR) is a psychological therapy, effective in improving cognitive performance and functioning people with schizophrenia. As the therapy becomes more widely implemented within mental health services its longevity uptake likely to depend on feasibility acceptability service users clinicians. Aims: To assess of new strategy-based computerized CR programme (CIRCuiTS) for psychosis. Method: Four studies were conducted using mixed methods. Perceptions...
Research suggests that people with schizophrenia have autonomic dysfunctions. These been linked to functioning problems, symptoms and considered a risk factor for illness chronicity. The aim of this study is introduce new Mobile Health (mHealth) method using wearable technology assessing activity in people's everyday life. We evaluate the acceptability characterise association between features abnormalities. Thirty participants 25 controls were asked wear mHealth device measuring movements...
Cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) may benefit people with bipolar disorder type I and II for whom cognitive impairment is a major contributor to disability. Extensive research has demonstrated CRT improve cognition psychosocial functioning in different diagnoses, but randomised trials of evidenced programmes are lacking disorders. The Remediation Bipolar (CRiB) study aimed determine whether an established programme feasible acceptable disorders.This proof-of-concept, single-blind trial...
Abstract Background To provide precision cognitive remediation therapy (CR) for schizophrenia, we need to understand whether the mechanism improved functioning is via cognition improvements. This has not been rigorously tested potential moderator effects. Study Design We used data (n = 377) from a randomized controlled trial using CIRCuiTS, therapist-supported CR, with participants first-episode psychosis services. applied structured equation modeling test whether: (1) CR hours explain goal...
