Parenting in Motion
Tuning in to Kids Together
Group parenting programs, including emotion‐focused programs, are effective at improving children's emotional and behavioral adjustment; however, the impact of these programs may be limited due to parents, typically mothers, attending sessions alone. It is expected that actively involving both caregivers in parenting programs will lead to superior outcomes given family systems are interconnected and when parents feel more supported by one another…
‘I feel like a mermaid and the sea is my home’
There is growing interest in blue space as a natural environment that may foster well‐being. Blue space encourages mindful, immersive, and connected ways of being in and interacting with place. A popular blue space activity that may promote well‐being is wild swimming (WS). Existing research suggests that swimmers find WS meaningful because it supports well‐being. However, the meanings attributed to WS by wild swimmers likely depend on the charac…

Biopsychosocial impacts of mother loss on daughters in Australia
We aimed to describe the biopsychosocial impacts of a mother's death at any stage in life on adult daughters in Australia. A total of 2735 mother-bereaved daughters completed an online survey about their experiences of mother loss and its impacts. We assessed several biopsychosocial outcomes, including symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), prolonged grief disorder (PGD), quality of life (QoL), sleep distu…
Listen to women as if they were your most cherished person
This mixed-methods study used an online cross-sectional survey to explore perspectives of 533 adult Australian women living with endometriosis pain, and their relationship with biopsychosocial factors. Four themes were constructed: The primary theme, 'Stigma and change' reflected women's experience of dismissal, and the wish to reverse the narrative of pain as normal. Some women emphasised self-education and self-advocacy to affect change, reflec…
Development and psychometric evaluation of a new domain‐specific coparenting measure
Caregivers play an integral role in supporting children's development, not only through their individual parenting practices but also how they work together as coparents. The literature on coparenting is extensive; however, most of the research has relied on global measures to assess the quality and functioning of the coparenting relationship. Examining the coparenting relationship with domain‐specific measures enables a deeper understanding of t…
Exploring Evidence for Mindfulness and Subjective Wellbeing Homeostatic Resilience Buffering Depression and Stress Symptoms Associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Exploring Forest Therapy as an Adjunct to Treatment as Usual within a Community Health Counselling Service
We aimed to explore consumers’ experiences of FT as an adjunct to their usual psychological treatment. Ten mental health consumers attended 1–6 monthly FT sessions. Interviews were conducted to understand whether FT contributed to therapeutic change. We used a phenomenological framework and reflexive thematic analysis to understand the data. Three themes were developed that reflected 1) experiencing safety through the forest; 2) connecting with t…
Comparing 12-Month Outcomes for Group CBT Versus Group CBT Plus Yoga for Depression and Anxiety
Emerging research shows yoga, a body-based mindfulness practice, appears to augment the benefits of transdiagnostic group CBT up to 3-month post-treatment, but less is known about longer-term outcomes. This mixed-methods study reports on 12-month findings of a pragmatic preference trial with adults ( N = 59) diagnosed with depression or anxiety. It compares longer-term outcomes between adults who completed either a group CBT program or group CBT …
The Impacts of a Clown Doctor Program on an Adolescent Psychiatric Unit
Inpatient psychiatric care may be required to manage adolescents with severe mental health problems. As the ward can be a challenging environment, this study explored the influence of clown doctors on adolescents. Seventy-seven adolescents (13-18 years) and 22 staff from the Monash Health Stepping Stones Adolescent Unit, and 11 clown doctors from The Humour Foundation participated in the study. Bespoke surveys were developed by the research team …
Mindfulness Practice Is Associated With Subjective Wellbeing Homeostasis Resilience in People With Crohn's Disease but Not Ulcerative Colitis
These findings provide initial evidence for an association between mindfulness and SWB homeostatic resilience in a clinical population
Child and Parent Physical Activity, Sleep, and Screen Time During Covid-19 and Associations With Mental Health
The COVID-19 pandemic has afforded the opportunity for some to improve lifestyle behaviours, while for others it has presented key challenges. Adverse changes in global lifestyle behaviours, including physical activity, sleep, and screen time can affect proximal mental health and in turn distal cardiovascular outcomes. We investigated differences in physical activity, sleep, and screen time in parents and children during early stages of the COVID…
The only man on the mat”
Objective Men’s engagement in mental health treatment significantly lags behind that of women, despite prevalence rates highlighting that poor mental health is a public health issue shared equally between them. As such, examination of complementary and alternative mental health approaches that might support men’s mental health is crucial. The aim of this study was to explore the benefits and barriers associated with ongoing yoga practice among me…
Adapting 'Tame Your Gut' for patients with inflammatory bowel disease and co-morbid anxiety and/or depression
This qualitative study collected stakeholders' views on adapting an existing online psychotherapy programme, 'Tame Your Gut', to the needs of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and comorbid anxiety and/or depression. Adult patients ( n = 13) and health professionals ( n = 12) participated in semi-structured focus groups or interviews, analysed with a thematic analysis. Patients had a generally positive attitude towards 'Tame Your Gut'…
Co-designed Mindful Parenting for Parents of Children with ADHD
Lived experience in people with inflammatory bowel disease and comorbid anxiety and depression in the United Kingdom and Australia
This study explored the lived experience of people with inflammatory bowel disease and anxiety/depression. It utilised a deductive biopsychosocial framework. Overall, 24 patients and 20 healthcare professionals from two countries participated. In the United Kingdom, the main themes included (1) bidirectional relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and mental health, (2) the need for healthcare integration and (3) lack of awareness about t…
Study Protocol for the Covid-19 Pandemic Adjustment Survey (CPAS)
This study will provide timely information on the mental health impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on parents and children in Australia; identify communities, parents, families, and children most at risk of poor outcomes; and identify potential factors to address in clinical and public health interventions to reduce risk
From "It Has Stopped Our Lives" to "Spending More Time Together Has Strengthened Bonds
The present study uses a qualitative approach to understand the impact of COVID-19 on family life. Australian parents of children aged 0-18 years were recruited via social media between April 8 and April 28, 2020, when Australians were experiencing social distancing/isolation measures for the first time. As part of a larger survey, participants were asked to respond via an open-ended question about how COVID-19 had impacted their family. A total …
Maternal Anxiety and Children’s Laboratory Pain
There has been limited empirical examination of how parent variables such as anxiety and solicitousness collectively impact child pain response. We sought to examine the relationships among maternal anxiety, solicitous parenting, and children's laboratory anxiety and pain intensity in children with chronic pain. Participants included 80 children and adolescents (ages 8-18) with chronic pain and their mothers. Children completed questionnaires and…
Anxiety Sensitivity and Catastrophizing
This study examined the relationships among anxiety sensitivity (AS), catastrophizing, somatization and pain in 240 non-clinical children (121 girls; mean age = 12.7 years). Children with pain problems ( n = 81; 33.8%) reported greater AS and catastrophizing ( ps < .01) relative to children without pain problems. AS but not catastrophizing was significantly associated with current pain. However, both AS and catastrophizing were significantly asso…
Dealing With Chronic Pain
Despite the substantial monetary, personal, and social cost of chronic pain, research into the family life of sufferers is wanting. Parents dealing with chronic pain, as well as their children, have been particularly neglected. Using qualitative interview data from 16 mothers suffering from a variety of chronic pain conditions, and their 21 children, aged 6 to 12 years, we explored the impact of maternal chronic pain on mothers and children. Cons…
