Disordered sleep has been linked to impaired emotional functioning in healthy and depressed individuals. Little is known, however, about how chronic problems influence reactivity everyday life. Participants with major or minor unipolar depressive disorder (n = 60) controls 35) reported on responses daily life events using a computerised Experience Sampling Method. We examined whether quality influenced events, if this relationship was altered by mood disorders. Among individuals,...
The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) is increasingly used by researchers from various disciplines to answer novel questions about individuals’ daily lives. Measurement best practices have long been overlooked in ESM research, and recent reviews show that item quality often not reported studies. absence of information may partly be explained the lack consensus on how should evaluated. As part Item Repository project (esmitemrepository.com) — an international open science initiative collects...

Naturalistic studies of emotional reactivity in depression have repeatedly found larger decreases negative affect (NA) among depressed individuals response to daily positive events. This so-called mood-brightening (MB) effect represents a theoretical and empirical oddity. The current study is secondary analysis investigating whether the MB moderated by spontaneous use emotion regulation strategies, which been implicated maintenance modulation NA prior work. Participants (N = 95) representing...
Can people achieve optimal well-being and thrive after major depression? Contemporary epidemiology dismisses this possibility, viewing depression as a recurrent, burdensome condition with bleak prognosis. To estimate the prevalence of thriving in United States adults, we used data from Midlife Development (MIDUS) study. count depression, person had to exhibit no evidence exceed cut offs across nine facets psychological that characterize top 25% US nondepressed adults. Overall, nearly 10%...
Relatively little is known about the links between events and emotions experienced in daily life long-term outcomes among people diagnosed with depression. Using diary data from Midlife Development United States, we examined how positive influence (10 years later) depression severity well-being. Participants met criteria for major depressive disorder ( n = 121) or reported no 839) over past 12 months. events, socializing activities, negative affect (NA) (PA) 8 consecutive days. Relative to...
Abstract Health care disparities have been documented in cancer screenings of adults with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. Developmental disabilities nurses were surveyed to better understand improve this deficiency. Two thirds respondents believed that received fewer compared the general population. The most frequently cited barriers as follows: patient need for sedation, unsuccessful attempts at screening, failure primary clinician order screening tests. Nurses observed...
Objectives Impaired positive autobiographical memory ( AM ) is closely linked to emotional disorders. impairments are often found in depressed adults and may be related the difficulties such persons have regulating their dysphoric mood. By contrast, less known about disturbances among adolescents, or functional relationship of early‐onset depression. Design A high‐risk family design served compare four groups youth who differed depression histories familial risk. Methods Thirty‐one currently...
Objective Assess whether neighborhood characteristics predict patient‐reported outcomes for depression. Data Sources VA electronic medical record data and U.S. census data. Study Design Retrospective longitudinal cohort. Extraction Methods Neighborhood individual of patients (N = 4,269) with a unipolar depressive disorder diagnosis an initial Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ‐9) score ≥10 were used to 50 percent improvement in 4‐8‐month PHQ‐9 scores. Principal Findings The proportion...
Hedonic deficits are linked to protracted dysphoric affect (DA) in depression, a disorder characterised by emotion context insensitivity (ECI). Recent findings from daily life studies contradict the ECI view. This study longitudinally investigated DA across laboratory and contexts conditions associated with discrepancies reactivity. Thirty-three healthy controls 41 adults major depressive (MDD) provided responses neutral positive (a) films viewed (b) events recorded over course of three days...
People with depression often underutilize mental health care. This study was conceived as a first step toward clinical decision support tool that helps identify patients who are at higher risk of underutilizing The primary goals were to (a) describe treatment utilization patterns, early termination, and return care; (b) factors associated termination treatment; (c) evaluate the accuracy regression models predict termination. These evaluated in retrospective cohort analysis 108,457 U.S....
<i>Background:</i> The majority of adult women in the United States fail to meet daily calcium intake recommendations. This study was undertaken (1) identify predictors supplement use versus non-use, (2) understand barriers supplementation, and (3) determine potential impact physician recommendation on use. <i>Methods:</i> Surveys were self-administered by 185 women, ages 20 64, presenting consecutively for care at 6 suburban community-based family medicine practices within Cleveland Clinic...
Objectives: This study examined the degree of similarity between motivational interviewing (MI) methods and smoking cessation techniques that are routinely used by primary care physicians. Its purpose was to inform development more effective MI-based health behavior change training programs for Methods: Visits physicians were audio-recorded in northeast Ohio from 2005 2008. Doctor-patient talk about (n = 73) analyzed adherence MI using Motivational Interviewing Skills Code (MISC) version 2.1...
Proactive integrated virtual healthcare resource (VHR) use can improve efficiency, maximize capacity for delivering optimal coordinated care and patient outcomes. VHR is vital high quality care. Our objectives were to identify proactive among primary teams, best practices targeted implementation strategies promote use.This a mixed-method descriptive study. We employed community-based participatory approach collect data the Consolidated Framework Implementation Research analyze contextualize...
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for rapid uptake of virtual care through the use health resources (VHR). In Department Veterans Affairs (VA) Healthcare System, critical to maintaining healthcare access patients during COVID-19. current study we describe primary patient aligned team (PACT) VHR patterns within one VA medical center (i.e., hospital facility and five community-based outpatient clinics) pre- post-COVID-19 onset.VHR provider data from 106 individual PACTs were extracted...
Affect dysregulation in response to rewarding stimuli has been proposed as a vulnerability factor for major depressive disorder (MDD).However, it remains unclear how affective behavioral dynamics may be altered among individuals who are at high risk depression but not currently depressed.We examined the of facial behavior during hedonic probes 3 groups adolescents: remitted probands had histories childhood-onset MDD (n ϭ 187), never-depressed siblings (high familial risk; n 207), and healthy...
Affective characteristics are associated with depression severity, course, and prognosis. Patients' affect captured by clinicians during sessions may provide a rich source of information that more naturally aligns the course patient-desired outcomes.In this paper, we propose an extraction vocabulary used to pilot feasibility reliability identifying clinician-recorded patient affective states in clinical notes from electronic health records.Affect mood were annotated 147 109 patients 2...
