  • Adapting an Interprofessional Training Model for Social Work Field Placements: An Answer for Better Mental Health Care Outreach for Older Adults in Primary Care

    Avani Shah, Tracy Wharton et al.ARTICLEJournal of Teaching in Social Work2017References: 5

    Professional shortages of geriatrically trained social workers pose a barrier to mental health care for older adults. Integrating graduate social work interns into primary care settings may increase the availability of trained social workers. However, few studies provide guidance on how to develop an interprofessional healthcare placement focused on the needs of older adults. This article discusses a model training program created by a psychology…

  • Pleasant Events, Hopelessness, and Quality of Life in Rural Older Adults

    Open AccessForrest Scogin, Martin Morthland et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Rural Health2016

    PURPOSE: Rural older adults are susceptible to depression and reduced quality of life. This study explored contrasting explanations (behavioral vs cognitive route) for the relation of emotional distress with quality of life. METHODS: This retrospective study included rural older adults (N = 134) with reduced quality of life and increased psychological symptoms. Multiple mediation analysis was conducted to test the indirect effect of engagement in…

  • Social Workers as Research Psychotherapists in an Investigation of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy among Rural Older Adults

    Avani Shah, Forrest Scogin et al.ARTICLESocial Work Research2013References: 7

    A large proportion of service providers in our country are social workers. The use of social workers as mental health therapists however, has not been adequately evaluated in the literature. This aim of this study was to evaluate a sample of clinically trained, masters-level social workers in their delivery of in-home Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to a group of primarily rural, medically frail older adults. The social workers in this study r…

    Allan V Kaufman, Forrest Scogin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Service Research2010Cited by: 1References: 59

    This manuscript reports the results of a study that pilot tested a home-delivered, multi-dimensional problem-solving intervention aimed at helping aging parental caregivers of adult children with schizophrenia. The results indicate that the participants (N=5) who received the 10-session intervention showed increased life satisfaction and emotional well being, and reduced feelings of burden, compared to those participants in the control group (N=1…

  • Older Adults' Acceptance of Psychological, Pharmacological, and Combination Treatments for Geriatric Depression

    A E Hanson, Ashley Hanson et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2008

    We examined older adults' ratings of the acceptability of geriatric depression treatments. We presented 120 community-dwelling participants with vignettes describing an older adult experiencing either mild to moderate or severe depression. Participants rated the acceptability of three different treatments: cognitive therapy (CT), antidepressant medication (AM), and a combination treatment of CT and AM (COM). For general acceptability, participant…

  • Protection Motivation Theory and Alcohol Use Attitudes among Older Adults

    Open AccessChristopher Runge, Steven Prentice-Dunn et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1993

    Responses of 17 elderly persons and 20 VA inpatients with alcohol-abuse problems (all 60 yr. or older) to an Alcohol Attitude Survey administered by telephone and interview were examined. Inpatients felt more vulnerable, perceived higher costs in moderating drinking, and showed lower response efficacy. Inpatients consumed substantially more alcohol than the community-dwelling elders. Hypotheses for study were generated

  • Cognitive Processes, Self-Reports of Memory Functioning, and Mental Health Status in Older Adults

    Open AccessForrest Scogin, Martin L Rohling et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health1989References: 2

    A battery of cognitive tasks was administered to a group of community-dwelling older adults. They also completed questionnaires assessing their cognitive and memory functioning and mental health status. A person familiar with the participant completed the same set of questionnaires. Little or no association was observed among the laboratory-type cognitive tasks and the self-assessments of cognition and memory, but significant relationships were o…

  • Validity of the Cognitive Error Questionnaire with Depressed and Nondepressed Older Adults

    Open AccessForrest Scogin, David Hamblin et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1986

    The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a measure of dysfunctional thinking when used with depressed and nondepressed older adults. Demographically similar groups of depressed and nondepressed elders completed the Cognitive Error Questionnaire (CEQ) and the Beck Depression Inventory. Scores from the questionnaire were submitted to factor analyses, and split-half reliabilities were calculated. The factor analyses in…

  • Targeting and the Humorous Episode in Group Process

    Open AccessForrest R Scogin, Forrest Scogin et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations1980Cited by: 5References: 10

    The present experiment concerned an evaluation of the number, nature, and pattern of targeted and nontargeted humorous remarks produced by individuals in six different group settings. Results indicated that humorous targeting occurred in about two-thirds of the cases except for short-term problem-solving groups where only 36%l'o of humorous remarks were directed. For all six groups, however, the ratio of appreciative to deprecating targeted remar…
