Parents With Mental Illness
The aim of this study was to seek the views of consumers about the impact of their mental illness on their families, especially their children. This study is unique in that it was initiated by a group of mental health consumers. Parents with a long-term mental illness and an average of eight hospital admissions took part in this qualitative study. Semistructured interviews were taped and analysed. Analysis of the interview transcripts revealed th…
Linearity of the electromechanical penile plethysmograph's output at large expansions
Despite the widespread use of the Barlow‐type electromechanical plethysmograph for monitoring changes in penile circumference, doubts have arisen about its sensitivity at large expansions. This study investigated the linearity of both a used and unused gauge over a wide range of standardized expansions. For both gauges, the relationship between electrical output and physical expansion was almost linear. A logarithmic 10 transformation on the phys…
The relationship of panic‐fear to anxiety and tension in jaw wiring for obesity
Sixty patients being jaw‐wired for massive obesity were administered the MMPI Panic‐Fear scale as well as self‐ and clinician's ratings of pre‐ and post‐wiring tension and anxiety. Results confirmed the hypotheses that the scale would correlate significantly with patients' subjective feelings of tension and anxiety regarding the procedure, and that defaulters who were unwired or who unwired themselves had higher scale scores. The findings suggest…
Locus of control in obesity
One hundred and thirty‐three obese women were administered a modified version of the Reid‐Ware Locus of Control questionnaire prior to jaw wiring. The factorial structure of the questionnaire was examined, and found to be primarily a unidimensional measure of internal and external locus of control, with two subscales. Total score had greatest predictive validity in terms of the four criteria of success of weight loss while wired, percentage weigh…
