Weighted Blankets for Agitation in Hospitalized Patients with Dementia: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Weighted Blankets for Agitation in Hospitalized Patients with Dementia: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Many patients with dementia develop neuropsychiatric symptoms and somewhere between 40% and 76% of patients demonstrate agitation and aggression [1,2]. Agitated behaviors are often disruptive and difficult to manage, and are associated with increased caregiver burden and burnout, increased hospitalizations, and elevated health care costs [1,3]. Agitation includes a range of behaviors, including restlessness, pacing, physical aggression, and verbal agitation [4].

Forensic Psychiatric Outpatients’ and Therapists’ Perspectives on a Wearable Biocueing App (Sense-IT) as an Addition to Aggression Regulation Therapy: Qualitative Focus Group and Interview Study

Forensic Psychiatric Outpatients’ and Therapists’ Perspectives on a Wearable Biocueing App (Sense-IT) as an Addition to Aggression Regulation Therapy: Qualitative Focus Group and Interview Study

Given the scarcity of information on the deployment of sensor-based m Health interventions in (forensic) mental health care, we aimed to provide more insight into the perspectives of both forensic outpatients (study 1) and therapists (study 2) regarding the use and implementation of a new sensor-based m Health intervention, the Sense-IT biocueing app, in aggression regulation therapy (ART). More specifically, we focused on facilitators of and barriers to implementation, as identified by previous models.

Development of a Wearable Biocueing App (Sense-IT) Among Forensic Psychiatric Outpatients With Aggressive Behavior: Design and Evaluation Study

Development of a Wearable Biocueing App (Sense-IT) Among Forensic Psychiatric Outpatients With Aggressive Behavior: Design and Evaluation Study

Most offender treatment programs are based on the principles of aggression replacement training (ART) [9], in which behavioral, affective, and cognitive components are combined to improve anger and aggression regulation. In forensic psychiatry, these cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) programs are broadly considered as promising rehabilitative treatments for antisocial behavior [10,11]. However, mixed findings have been reported regarding the effectiveness of these treatment programs.

Simulation-Based Education for Staff Managing Aggression and Externalizing Behaviors in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder in the Hospital Setting: Pilot and Feasibility Study Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Simulation-Based Education for Staff Managing Aggression and Externalizing Behaviors in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder in the Hospital Setting: Pilot and Feasibility Study Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

The study intervention will be comprised of simulation-based education plus web-based education resources on the management of clinical aggression and externalizing behaviors in children with ASD, with or without an intellectual disability. The study comparator will be web-based educational materials on the management of clinical aggression and externalizing behaviors in children with autism.

Predicting Inpatient Aggression in Forensic Services Using Remote Monitoring Technology: Qualitative Study of Staff Perspectives

Predicting Inpatient Aggression in Forensic Services Using Remote Monitoring Technology: Qualitative Study of Staff Perspectives

Infrequent structured risk assessments for inpatient aggression cannot detect rapid, momentary changes in individual risk factors, limiting their ability to predict imminent aggression. For example, purportedly changeable (dynamic) risk factors have shown nonsignificant changes over service users’ period of treatment [1]. The limited frequency of these assessments may partially explain why they often show low to moderate predictive accuracy for aggression [2,3].

Cyberincivility in the Massive Open Online Course Learning Environment: Data-Mining Study

Cyberincivility in the Massive Open Online Course Learning Environment: Data-Mining Study

These 19 a priori codes were organized under the themes of annoyance, disruption, and aggression. Of 1043 uncivil posts, 466 were coded into >1 a priori codes, which rendered 1509 instances. Of those 1509 total instances, 826 (54.74%) were put into annoyance, 648 (42.94%) into disruption, and 35 (2.32%) into aggression. Figure 3 depicts the occurrences of each code in each theme.

Mobile Mindfulness Intervention on an Acute Psychiatric Unit: Feasibility and Acceptability Study

Mobile Mindfulness Intervention on an Acute Psychiatric Unit: Feasibility and Acceptability Study

Agitation, impulsivity, and disorganized thinking are cited as common causes of, or contributors to, patient aggression [9,10]. There are effective cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) for addressing aggression and violence [11,12]. However, these rely on an intact cognitive capacity, which is often impaired in those with serious mental illness (SMI).
