Measuring fidelity of brief cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia
PURPOSE: Measuring fidelity is critical in program evaluations to assess how implementation influences outcomes. Implementer fidelity is comprised of adherence to the treatment content and competence of treatment delivery. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is well-established and empirically supported with variants such as brief CBTi (bCBTi) showing promise in reducing both insomnia and depression. The impact of therapist fidelity…

Sleep and Interpersonal Violence
Sleep disturbance is a significant public health issue that disproportionately affects survivors of interpersonal violence (IPV). This systematic review presents data on the relationship of IPV and sleep. Inclusion criteria for this review were studies that included subjects 18 years of age or older, used an IPV measure and sleep disturbance measure, and were published in a peer-reviewed journal in English. A total of 23 articles met full inclusi…
The Relationship Between Pain Severity, Insomnia, and Suicide Attempts Among a National Veteran Sample Initiating Pain Care
OBJECTIVE: We assessed the longitudinal association of suicide attempts by moderate to severe pain and insomnia before and after the initiation of pain services among veterans. METHODS: A cohort of 221,817 veterans initiating pain care was divided into four subgroups: a) no/mild pain + no insomnia (LowPain-NoINS), b) no/mild pain + insomnia (LowPain-INS), c) moderate/severe pain + no insomnia (HighPain-NoINS), and d) moderate/severe pain + insomn…

Effects of mindfulness training on posttraumatic stress symptoms from a community-based pilot clinical trial among survivors of intimate partner violence
Objective: Exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) is a significant public health issue associated with deleterious mental and medical health comorbidities, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The hallmark symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTS), even when not meeting the threshold for a diagnosis of PTSD, appear to be underpinned by poor self-regulation in multiple domains, including emotion, cognitive control, and physiological s…
Using Administrative Data to Predict Suicide After Psychiatric Hospitalization in the Veterans Health Administration System
There is a very high suicide rate in the year after psychiatric hospital discharge. Intensive postdischarge case management programs can address this problem but are not cost-effective for all patients. This issue can be addressed by developing a risk model to predict which inpatients might need such a program. We developed such a model for the 391,018 short-term psychiatric hospital admissions of US veterans in Veterans Health Administration (VH…

Chaplaincy Encounters Following a Suicide Attempt
This descriptive study examines the provision of chaplaincy services to veterans who sought health care at a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center following a suicide attempt. A system-wide VA database of suicidal behavior was used to identify a cohort of n = 22,701 veterans who survived a suicide attempt. Next, an electronic review of VA clinical records found that n = 7,447 (32.8%) received chaplaincy services in the 30 days follow…
Reductions in Cortisol Associated With Primary Care Brief Mindfulness Program for Veterans With PTSD
BACKGROUND: Patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have significant medical morbidity, which may be mediated by hypothalamic pituitary axis (HPA) dysfunction and reflected in cortisol output. Many veterans with PTSD are hesitant to engage in trauma-focused exposure treatments; therefore briefer, non-exposure-based treatments are needed; one such promising approach is an abbreviated Primary Care brief Mindfulness Program (PCbMP). OBJEC…
Sleep Disturbance Preceding Suicide Among Veterans
Objectives. We examined the role of sleep disturbance in time to suicide since the last treatment visit among veterans receiving Veterans Health Administration (VHA) services. Methods. Among 423 veteran suicide decedents from 2 geographic areas, systematic chart reviews were conducted on the 381 (90.1%) who had a VHA visit in the last year of life. Veteran suicides with a documented sleep disturbance (45.4%) were compared with those without sleep…
