Stressing Emotions : Emotion Focused Transdiagnostic Treatment for Work Stress
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Work related stress usually involves a variety of difficulties within the realm of emotional disorders, while CBT treatments are often disorder specific. To effectively address work stress, more versatile and parsimonious interventions are needed. Transdiagnostic treatments, targeting common psychological processes in emotion related disorders are now available. One such treatment, the Unified Protocol (Barlow et al., 2011), has shown promising results. It focuses on inflexible and maladaptive use of emotion regulation strategies. Research implies that maladaptive strategies such as excessive worrying and avoidance may also be important for stress prolongation. Thus, the implementation of a transdiagnostic treatment protocol for work stress needs to be evaluated.Aim: To study whether treatment using the Unified Protocol, targeting generic emotional regulation, is feasible for patients who present with work stress. Furthermore, the aim is to investigate whether this treatment affects levels of stress as well as symptoms of anxiety and depression.Method: Using a single case experimental design, we recruited six patients seeking treatment for work stress at an occupational health care center. After baseline assessments, they took part in an eight-session treatment using the Unified Protocol. Levels of perceived stress, emotional symptoms and use of regulatory strategies were daily monitored. A six month follow-up was also completed. Results: All participants completed and reported that they were satisfied with treatment. Four out of six participants also improved on reported stress-levels and emotional symptoms. Improvements were sustained at follow-up.Discussion: Results showed that it is feasible to use a unified approach for emotional problems in patients with work stress. Treatment was also associated with symptom changes for most participants. Employing a unified CBT approach for stress would provide flexibility and parsimony for clinicians while retaining a strong theoretical framework and guiding principles. Although initial results were promising randomized controlled trials are needed.

A Systematic Review of Qualitative Research Literature and a Thematic Synthesis of Older LGBTQ People’s Experiences of Quality of Life, Minority Joy, Resilience, Minority Stress, Discrimination, and Stigmatization in Japan and Sweden
- 2023
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. - Basel, Switzerland : MDPI. - 1661-7827 .- 1660-4601. ; 20:13, s. 6281-6281

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is a lack of research on older lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) adults. This systematic review aimed to synthesize Japanese and Swedish qualitative research on LGBTQ adults aged 60 years or older following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Japanese and Swedish articles, published in English, were searched across ASSIA, CINAHL, Medline, PsychINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and Sociological Abstracts databases. Additional searches were conducted to include studies in Japanese or Swedish. There were no papers from Japan, whereas five from Sweden were reviewed. One article was excluded due to the wrong phenomenon. Four articles were included, involving 48 participants aged 60–94 years. We summarized the findings using a deductive thematic synthesis. Two major themes emerged: (a) quality of life, minority joy, and resilience (positive aspects), and (b) discrimination, stigmatization, and minority stress (negative aspects). The participants wished to be acknowledged for their own assets and unique life histories, and to be treated as everyone else. They emphasized the importance of knowledge of LGBTQ issues among nursing staff, so that older LGBTQ people are treated in a competent and affirmative way. The study revealed several important topics for understanding older LGBTQ adults’ life circumstances and the severe lack of qualitative studies in Japan and Sweden.

- 2023
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This interactive workshop explores various health-care interactions, through various scenarios, from the point of view of older LGBTQ adults and health-care professionals. We will divide into smaller groups and discuss the scenarios with the aim of creating safe interactions for older LGBTQ adults. The aim of the workshop is to normalize creating safe interactions for older LGBTQ adults, as well as increasing confidence in doing it.

Psychometric Exploration of the Swedish Translation of the Sexual Orientation Microaggressions Scale (SOMS), and a Commentary on the Validity of the Construct of Microaggressions

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of the present study was to assess the psychometric properties of a Swedish translation of the Sexual Orientation Microaggressions Scale (SOMS) in a convenience sample of 267 Swedish LGB+ people (Mean age = 36.41). Testing suggested some strengths in terms of factor structure and 2-week test-retest reliability (ICC > .79). Also, internal consistency (α = .80–.91) and convergent validity were supported for most subscales. However, the Assumption of Deviance subscale was associated with low response variability and internal consistency (α = .35), and the correlational pattern between the Environmental Microaggressions subscale and mental health variables diverged from the overall trend. Furthermore, measurement invariance between homo- and bisexual participants was not supported for most subscales, and although microaggressions would be theoretically irrelevant to a small comparison sample of heterosexual people (N = 76, Mean age = 40.43), metric invariance of the Environmental Microaggressions subscale was supported in comparison to LGB+ people. We argue that these limitations suggest a restricted applicability of the SOMS in a Swedish context, and this has consequences for the definition and operationalization of the construct of microaggressions as a whole. Therefore, more research on the latent properties of microaggressions in Swedish as well as in other contexts is required.

Pain patients´ experiences of validation and invalidation from physicians before and after multimodal pain rehabilitation : Associations with pain, negative affectivity and treatment outcome
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Pain. - : Walter de Gruyter. - 1877-8860 .- 1877-8879. ; 17, s. 77-86

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background and aims: Validating and invalidating responses play an important role in communication with pain patients, for example regarding emotion regulation and adherence to treatment. However, it is unclear how patients’ perceptions of validation and invalidation relate to patient characteristics and treatment outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of subgroups based on pain patients’ perceptions of validation and invalidation from their physicians. The stability of these perceptions and differences between subgroups regarding pain, pain interference, negative affectivity and treatment outcome were also explored.Methods: A total of 108 pain patients answered questionnaires regarding perceived validation and invalidation, pain severity, pain interference, and negative affectivity before and after pain rehabilitation treatment. Two cluster analyses using perceived validation and invalidation were performed, one on pre-scores and one on post-scores. The stability of patient perceptions from pre- to post-treatment was investigated, and clusters were compared on pain severity, pain interference, and negative affectivity. Finally, the connection between perceived validation and invalidation and treatment outcome was explored.Results: Three clusters emerged both before and after treatment: (1) low validation and heightened invalidation, (2) moderate validation and invalidation, and (3) high validation and low invalidation. Perceptions of validation and invalidation were generally stable over time, although there were individuals whose perceptions changed. When compared to the other two clusters, the low validation/heightened invalidation cluster displayed significantly higher levels of pain interference and negative affectivity post-treatment but not pre-treatment. The whole sample significantly improved on pain interference and depression, but treatment outcome was independent of cluster. Unexpectedly, differences between clusters on pain interference and negative affectivity were only found post-treatment. This appeared to be due to the pre- and post-heightened invalidation clusters not containing the same individuals. Therefore, additional analyses were conducted to investigate the individuals who changed clusters. Results showed that patients scoring high on negative affectivity ended up in the heightened invalidation cluster post-treatment.Conclusions: Taken together, most patients felt understood when communicating with their rehabilitation physician. However, a smaller group of patients experienced the opposite: low levels of validation and heightened levels of invalidation. This group stood out as more problematic, reporting greater pain interference and negative affectivity when compared to the other groups after treatment. Patient perceptions were typically stable over time, but some individuals changed cluster, and these movements seemed to be related to negative affectivity and pain interference. These results do not support a connection between perceived validation and invalidation from physicians (meeting the patients pre- and post-treatment) and treatment outcome. Overall, our results suggest that there is a connection between negative affectivity and pain interference in the patients, and perceived validation and invalidation from the physicians. Implications In clinical practice, it is important to pay attention to comorbid psychological problems and level of pain interference, since these factors may negatively influence effective communication. A focus on decreasing invalidating responses and/or increasing validating responses might be particularly important for patients with high levels of psychological problems and pain interference.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Across the world, people have seen their lives interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Using an online survey, we explored how the psychosocial effects of the pandemic affected the mental health of LGBTQþ young adults who were confined with their parents during the lockdown period (N ¼ 1,934), from six countries: Portugal, UK, Italy, Brazil, Chile, and Sweden.South American participants experienced more negative psychosocial effects of the pandemic. Depression and anxiety were higher among participants who were younger, not working, living in Europe and who reported feeling more emotionally affected by the pandemic, uncomfortable at home, or isolated from non-LGBTQ friends.Not attending higher education predicted depression while not being totally confined at home, residing habitually with parents, and fearing more future infec-tion predicted anxiety. LGBTQþ community groups, as well as health and educational services should remain particularly attentive to the needs of LGBTQþ young adults during health crises.Conflict of Interest and Disclosure Statement: No conflict of interest
