Predicting the side effects of influenza vaccination
BACKGROUND: Side effects following vaccination intensify vaccine hesitancy, which remains a significant challenge to public health. Research suggests that a proportion of side effects are not caused by the vaccine but are instead associated with psychological factors that influence nocebo responding. PURPOSE: This study investigates the psychological and demographic factors associated with symptom reporting postvaccination, the attribution of the…
Changing mindsets about methotrexate in the rheumatology clinic to reduce side effects and improve adherence
BACKGROUND: Patients' negative expectations about medication can exacerbate side effect burden leading to low adherence and persistence. A novel intervention involves targeting mindsets about non-severe symptoms; reframing them as encouraging signs of medication working. PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess whether a brief symptom-mindset intervention can improve symptom experience and adherence in patients starting methotrexate to treat an inflam…

Objective and subjective socioeconomic status (SES) are important determinants of adolescent mental health problems, but we know less about how they interact. Research has demonstrated independent associations of both variables to mental health problems, but less is known about their relationship and role in adolescent mental health problems. Data from the youth@hordaland study, a survey of 9079 Norwegian adolescents aged 16 to 19 were linked to …

Understanding the Dimensions of Anti-Vaccination Attitudes
BACKGROUND: Anti-vaccination attitudes are important predictors of vaccination behavior. Existing measures of vaccination attitudes focus on specific age groups and/or particular vaccines; a more comprehensive measure would facilitate comparisons across studies. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop a short measure of general vaccination attitudes and establish its reliability and validity. METHODS: Two studies were conducted using the VA…
Parental work absenteeism is associated with increased symptom complaints and school absence in adolescent children
We found that parental work absence was significantly associated with the number of adolescent symptom complaints and school absenteeism. The results suggest that parents may play a critical modelling role in the intergenerational transmission of illness and disability behaviour
The Pace trial
The continued critiques of the PACE trial highlight how differing beliefs about the causes of chronic fatigue syndrome still influence how scientific studies in this area are accepted and evaluated. Causal beliefs about chronic fatigue syndrome and a modern version of Cartesian dualism are important in understanding the reaction to the PACE trial. The continued debate on the PACE trial seems to miss the fact that science is incremental. An unfort…

The CD4+ lymphocyte count and HIV viral load …
Stereotyping the smoker
Adolescents differ significantly in their appraisal of smokers in films; however, image based stereotypes, rather than emotional sensitivity stereotypes, are significantly associated with smoking susceptibility
Psychological Stress Impairs Early Wound Repair Following Surgery
OBJECTIVE: Laboratory studies have demonstrated that psychological stress is associated with slower healing of small superficial wounds. The application of this finding to the clinical environment has not yet been undertaken. In order to do this, we investigated the relationship between psychological stress and wound repair in patients following routine surgery. METHODS: Forty-seven adults with an inguinal hernia were given a standardized questio…

The immunological effects of thought suppression
Individuals often suppress emotional thoughts, particularly thoughts that arouse negative emotions, as a way of regulating mood and reducing distress. However, recent work has highlighted the complexities and unexpected cognitive and physiological effects of thought suppression. In a study designed to examine the short-term immunological effects of thought suppression, participants wrote about either emotional or nonemotional topics with or witho…

Psychological well‐being and psychiatric disturbance in dialysis and renal transplant patients
The rate of psychiatric morbidity and levels of psychological well‐being and distress were assessed in groups of dialysis, renal transplant and general practice patients. Dialysis patients suffered from significantly higher rates of psychiatric morbidity, with 43 per cent falling into the probable psychiatric case range on the GHQ. Results from the Mental Health Inventory also showed dialysis patients to have a significantly poorer level of psych…
Patterns of Social Expectations among Maori and European Children in New Zealand
Children's social expectations were assessed among 163 Maori and European New Zealanders aged 9 and 12 in response to nine videotaped scenes of everyday social encounters. Compared with European children, Maori children were more focused on peers, more likely to report that they would act independently and assertively, and less deferent to authority. Ethnic differences were significantly greater among younger than among older children. Although m…
Insulators against Stress
Self-esteem and assertiveness were examined as personal attributes which insulate firefighters from high occupational stress. The personal stress of 106 firemen ranked from firefighter to battalion chief was assessed using self-report measures of somatic stress symptoms, trait anxiety, and occupational stress. The stress measures were highly correlated and reflected a generalized stress reaction. Stress did not vary with length of time on the job…

Conditioning Allergic Skin Responses in Humans
Classical conditioning of immune responsiveness has been extensively investigated in animals, but few successful studies have been reported with humans. We report the results of a study in which an attempt was made to demonstrate conditioned alteration to an allergic skin test response in humans. For 8 of 10 trials, allergic skin tests were administered to one forearm of volunteer subjects, and saline was administered to the other forearm. For th…
The illness perception questionnaire
The Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ) is a new method for assessing cognitive representations of illness. The IPQ is a theoretically derived measure comprising five scales that provides information about the five components that have been found to underlie the cognitive representation of illness. The five scales assess identity - the symptoms the patient associates with the illness, cause - personal ideas about aetiology, time-line - the per…
