AbstractThe purpose of this follow-up study was to explore the effectiveness of an intensive treatment program—Camp Dream. Speak. Live.—within older, school-age children who stutter. Twenty-three school-age children who stutter (age range: 7–14 years) attended this week-long intensive therapy program for the first time. Outcome measures included Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering and the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Pediatric Peer Relationships Form. Findings demonstrate significant improvements in quality of life and communication attitudes can be achieved in a short period of time when increasing fluency is not a target.

Background The increase in availability of patient data through consumer health wearable devices and mobile phone sensors provides opportunities for mental health treatment beyond traditional self-report measurements. Previous studies have suggested that wearables can be effectively used to benefit the physical health of people with mental health issues, but little research has explored the integration of wearable devices into mental health care. As such, early research is still necessary to address factors that might impact integration including patients' motivations to use wearables and their subsequent data. Objective The aim of this study was to gain an understanding of patients’ motivations to use or not to use wearables devices during an intensive treatment program for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). During this treatment, they received a complementary Fitbit. We investigated the following research questions: How did the veterans in the intensive treatment program use their Fitbit? What are contributing motivators for the use and nonuse of the Fitbit? Methods We conducted semistructured interviews with 13 veterans who completed an intensive treatment program for PTSD. We transcribed and analyzed interviews using thematic analysis. Results We identified three major motivations for veterans to use the Fitbit during their time in the program: increase self-awareness, support social interactions, and give back to other veterans. We also identified three major reasons certain features of the Fitbit were not used: lack of clarity around the purpose of the Fitbit, lack of meaning in the Fitbit data, and challenges in the veteran-provider relationship. Conclusions To integrate wearable data into mental health treatment programs, it is important to understand the patient’s perspectives and motivations in using wearables. We also discuss how the military culture and PTSD may have contributed to our participants' behaviors and attitudes toward Fitbit usage. We conclude with possible approaches for integrating patient-generated data into mental health treatment settings that may address the challenges we identified.

This paper reports the relationship between Set 2 of the Depression Adjective Check Lists and the Self-rating Depression Scale. Psychiatric inpatients (Admission Wards, N = 51; Intensive Treatment Wards, N = 54) and 47 student nurses completed the DACL and the SDS which were presented in random order. All rs among the 3 lists of Set 2 of the DACL and the SDS total score were significant ( p = .01). All rs between the 3 DACLs and SDS factors (Pervasive Affect, Physiological Equivalents, and Psychological Equivalents) were significant, except that rs between Pervasive Affect and DACLs were not significant for the student nurse group. As Pervasive Affect seems to refer to the chronicity of the syndrome, the nonsignificant rs for this group are expected.

Abstract In order to evaluate graduate clinicians’ perception of treating children/teens who stutter, a six-question rating scale was administered following a period of academic coursework and prior to Fluency Friday Plus, an intensive treatment program for school-age children who stutter. The same questions were then administered to the same graduate clinicians following participation in this intensive treatment program. Results indicated a significant change in perceptions towards treating children/teens who stutter following the intensive treatment program experience.
