Look at the Audience? A Randomized Controlled Study of Shifting Attention From Self-Focus to Nonsocial vs. Social External Stimuli During Virtual Reality Exposure to Public Speaking in Social Anxiety
Background: Enhanced self-focused attention plays a central role in the maintenance and treatment of Social Anxiety and is targeted in contemporary cognitive behavioral therapy. Actual developments use Virtual Reality (VR) for behavioral training. However, no VR attention training combining exposure to public speaking with shifting attention from self-focus to external focus has been investigated, and no experimental evidence exists on different …
Interpersonal Distance During Real-Time Social Interaction
Physical distance is a prominent feature in face-to-face social interactions and allows regulating social encounters. Close interpersonal distance (IPD) increases emotional responses during interaction and has been related to avoidance behavior in social anxiety. However, a systematic investigation of the effects of IPD on subjective experience combined with measures of physiological arousal and behavioral responses during real-time social intera…
Methods for Estimating Days of Hospitalization Due to Nosocomial Infections
While there is little agreement at the individual patient level of analysis, estimates of mean NI-attributed days of stay for the two methods were essentially the same. The lack of agreement at the individual patient level may reflect fundamental differences in the methods used to derive these estimates: incorporation of noninfected patient data versus exclusive reliance on data from infected patients; and, focus on length of stay rather than the…
Use of the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol for Estimating the Incremental Costs Associated With Nosocomial Infections
Existing methods for estimating additional days of hospital stay due to nosocomial infections (NI) have a number of documented limitations. An alternative method described in this paper uses the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (AEP) to determine whether each day of acute inpatient care is appropriate based on the need for care of the NI, original cause of hospitalization (OC), or combined NI-OC requirements. Using this method to identify spec…
