Rethinking Milestone Validity in Graduate Medical Education
A Life-Affirming Palliative Care Model for Severe and Enduring Anorexia Nervosa
Some individuals with severe and enduring anorexia nervosa experience dramatically degraded quality of life in the face of refractory illness and compulsory treatment. We propose a palliative care (PC) model for this group of patients that aims to support their unique goals of care, improve social-professional function, reduce physical suffering, and honor the whole person. Far from representing a pre-hospice model, a PC model for those with seve…
What Sustains Residency Program Directors
Residency program directors’ careers follow several trajectories. For many, the role is relatively short term, lasting 3 to 5 years, during which time the program director may gain educational and administrative experience. However, a sizeable cohort of program directors have remained as program directors for a decade or more, and some have filled the role for the majority of their careers. Over the years, the role of the academic residency progr…
Advancing the business creed? The framing of decisions about public sector managed care
Relatively little research has clarified how executives of for-profit healthcare organisations frame their own motivations and behaviour, or how government officials frame their interactions with executives. Because managed care has provided an organisational structure for health services in many countries, we focused our study on executives and government officials who were administering public sector managed care services. Emphasising theoretic…
Prevalence and Correlates of Mental Disorders Among Native American Women in Primary Care
Objectives. We examined the lifetime and the past-year prevalence and correlates of common mental disorders among American Indian and Alaska Native women who presented for primary care. Methods. We screened 489 consecutively presenting female primary care patients aged 18 through 45 years with the General Health Questionnaire, 12-item version. A subsample (n = 234) completed the Composite International Diagnostic Interview. We examined associatio…
Transcultural aspects of eating disorders
Internal vs. external determinants of coping responses to stressful life‐events in the elderly
Coping appears to function in the relationship between stressful life‐events and health. Factors that may influence an individual's use of a particular coping strategy, however, are not well understood. Coping consistency within individuals and across situations was examined in a longitudinal study of 74 independently living elderly persons, as were the effects of the type of event experienced, appraisal of its degree of threat, and demographic v…
Factors Associated With Life Satisfaction Among Practicing Internists
The present study explored the relationship between satisfaction with life in general among 211 practicing internists and characteristics of their work, health, and life styles. Using a forced stepwise multiple regression analysis, 67% of the total variance in life satisfaction was accounted for by study variables. More satisfied physicians were more likely to be older, married, engaged in sexual intercourse more often, argued with or emotionally…
Family Issues in the Pathogenesis of Anorexia Nervosa
Factors residing in family systems have been implicated in the pathogenesis of anorexia nervosa. In this paper I critically review literature that bears on this issue: the transmission of anorexia nervosa in families; family stress patterns, personality and psychopathological characteristics of parents, parent-child interactions, and whole family systems. Much additional research is needed to accurately determine the precise nature of such factor…
Screening of Depression in Relationship to Subsequent Patient and Physician Behavior
When internal medicine clinic patients were prescreened for depression and this information was fed back to their physicians, significant effects could be noted on the medical records. On the initial visit, prescreening and previsit feedback about depression increased its notation in the medical record by three times, and among depressed patients, resulted in significantly fewer laboratory tests being orders (X = 2.85 vs. 8.12 for depressed patie…
The Importance of Mental Health Services to General Health Care
Sleep Disorder and Psychobiological Symptomatology in Male Psychiatric Outpatients and Male Nonpatients
Sleep disturbance was studied in relation to psychiatric and physical symptoms for 214 male psychiatric outpatients and 248 male nonpatients. Our self-report instrument required that subjects describe the frequency of symptoms precisely on a five-point scale from "every day" to "not at all." Percentages are based on the numbers of subjects reporting a symptom as occurring "every day" or "several times a week." More patients reported sleep disturb…
A model for the brief hospital treatment of the disadvantaged psychiatrically ill
A treatment approach is presented that is designed to deal more effectively than do conventional inpatient methods with several characteristics of lower-status populations: namely, their here-and-now orientation; their feelings of powerlessness; their tendency to externalize; and their expectation of receiving practical advice about current problems
