Differential associations between insight and quality-of-life dimensions among individuals with schizophrenia.
Conclusion/Implications: While insight and quality of life are overall negatively associated, we found both negative and positive connections between insight and quality-of-life dimensions. The negative relationship between insight and quality of life may reflect the deleterious effects of diagnostic labeling on a patient’s self-esteem. Yet, acknowledgment of treatment needs may have positive effects on quality of life and may promote recovery, perhaps because it emphasizes the need for support rather than labels and abnormalities.

Harmonizing federal interagency traumatic brain injury research data to examine depression and suicide-related outcomes.
Conclusions: Methods, harmonization code, and meta-databases related to TBI, probable depression, and suicidal ideation are now publicly available on the FITBIR website. Even with limited data, harmonization of FITBIR studies can serve as the basis for ongoing TBI and mental health research. Analyses will be more robust in the future as more studies with relevant outcome data are added to the FITBIR database.

A 5-year longitudinal structural equation model of social isolation and probable major depression among participants with spinal cord injury.
Rehabilitation Psychology, Vol 69(2), May 2024, 145-152; doi:10.1037/rep0000533Objective: To develop longitudinal structural models of social isolation and probable major depression (PMD) over a 5-year interval among participants with spinal cord injury (SCI). Design: Longitudinal structural equation modeling of self-report assessments collected during two follow-ups (2013 as Time 1, 2018 as Time 2) of a 45-year multicohort longitudinal study. Participants (n = 557) were identified from a specialty hospital in the Southeastern United States and two Midwestern hospitals and were initially enrolled in 1973–1974, 1984–198...

Exploration of how valued living relates to resilience among people with spinal cord injury.
Rehabilitation Psychology, Vol 69(2), May 2024, 94-101; doi:10.1037/rep0000535Purpose/Objective: We lack critical information regarding promoting resilience in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Living according to one’s values may increase resilience. The aims of this study were to: (a) determine whether the degree to which individuals with SCI are living according to their values is associated with resilience; (b) identify values endorsed as most important; and (c) examine whether the importance of these values differs significantly by high vs. low resilience. Research Design: Individuals with SCI (N = 202, Mage = 4...

Longitudinal health outcomes in caregivers of military members with traumatic brain injury.
Rehabilitation Psychology, Vol 69(2), May 2024, 135-144; doi:10.1037/rep0000522Purpose/Objective: To examine longitudinal change in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in caregivers of service members/veterans with traumatic brain injury and factors associated with clinically elevated symptoms. Research Method/Design: Caregivers (N = 220) completed nine HRQOL outcome measures and 10 risk factor measures at a baseline evaluation and follow-up evaluation 3 years later. Caregiver’s responses on the nine HRQOL outcome measures were classified into four clinical change categories based on the presence/absence of clinically...

Perceived stress and pain interference in acute rehabilitation following spinal cord injury: Resilience as a moderator.
Conclusions/Implications: When resilience is low, perceived stress has a more profound and adverse impact on pain interference during inpatient rehabilitation, suggesting therapeutic strategies that build components of resilience are needed during acute rehabilitation following SCI. The relationship between stress, resilience, and pain may differ postinpatient rehabilitation for SCI and warrants further investigation.

Anxiety in people with multiple sclerosis during the COVID-19 pandemic: A mixed-methods survey.
Rehabilitation Psychology, Vol 69(2), May 2024, 118-128; doi:10.1037/rep0000528Objective: During the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) may have increased; however, little is known about the various factors which influenced this. We aimed to (a) identify the psychosocial modifiable associates of anxiety in PwMS in Ireland and the United Kingdom and (b) explore experiences of anxiety during the pandemic. Method: A cross-sectional survey was developed using public and patient involvement in 2021. This included measures of anxiety (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS-A]), social suppor...

On their own: Business profitability and job satisfaction among self-employed with chronic health conditions.
Conclusions: Self-employed individuals with CHCs are at risk of declining of business profitability; however, degree of workability limitations alone did not explain business profitability maintenance or job satisfaction, but it was related to coping resources and strategies. Interventions that strengthen personal resources and promote engaged coping strategies should be provided with direct support to business maintenance.

Barriers to finding psychology postdoctoral training opportunities in intensive care settings.
Conclusions/Implications: These results suggest few opportunities exist for psychology training in intensive care settings and available opportunities are difficult to identify using standard search methods. The identified challenges also emphasize the need for advanced search features for training opportunities within APPIC/UPPD and/or a list of programs offering these training opportunities. Our results highlight the importance of program descriptions that accurately and comprehensively reflect training opportunities—particularly relating to opportunities in intensive care settings.
