  • Mental Health Among Young Women in Saudi Arabia: a Mixed Methods
    Mental Health Among Young Women In Saudi Arabia: A mixed Methods Approach Hissah Alzahrani A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy University of Central Lancashire May, 2019 i Declaration I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate: Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: School of Psychology ii Abstract This thesis aims to gain an understanding of the mental health of young women in Saudi Arabia. To achieve this broad aim, this thesis, which encompasses two studies, employs a mixed methods approach. Study 1 is a longitudinal quantitative study that aims to examine the trajectories of university students ’ mental health—via the change in their mental health and their ability to adjust—by assessing them over three time points during their first year at university. This study also examined whether theoretically relevant determinants, such as trait emotional intelligence (EI), emotional self-efficacy (ESE), social support and loneliness, affected the students’ mental health trajectories and adjustment to university life. The results show that the mean level of mental health problems was low and did not change significantly over time, while the adjustment level decreased over the first year of university. The results indicated that even in students with a high adjustment level in the beginning of their university year, the level decreased over time.

  • The Prevention of Trauma Reactions Tracey Varker Doctor of Philosophy
    The Prevention of Trauma Reactions Tracey Varker Doctor of Philosophy July 2009 Tracey Varker PhD Thesis Abstract Abstract Exposure to traumatic or stressful events has been linked to the development of trauma symptomatology in a minority of individuals for some time now. Although there have been many studies which have examined the nature and aetiology of trauma reactions, few researchers have examined whether it is possible to prevent reactions to trauma. This is somewhat surprising, given the impact that an adverse trauma reaction can have to both an individual and an organisation (if the individual is also an employee). One exception is the body of work which has been created by researchers who investigated the psychological intervention known as psychological debriefing. This intervention has been designed to be administered immediately after an individual experiences a traumatic event, and is said to mitigate an individual’s reaction to trauma. The scientific evidence for this intervention, however, has been equivocal. At the time that this thesis was being prepared, there were only two published randomised controlled trials of group debriefing. In addition, the impact of psychological debriefing upon an individual’s memory for a traumatic event had never before been examined. This is important to note, because in many instances an individual who is a witness to a crime, will receive psychological debriefing before they give a statement to police officers. For Study 1, a randomised controlled trial of group debriefing was conducted. The aim was to assess the effect of this intervention upon eyewitness memory for a stressful event and eyewitness stress reactions, with a sample drawn from the general community ( n = 61).

  • Framing in Design
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED15 27-30 JULY 2015, POLITECNICO DI MILANO, ITALY FRAMING IN DESIGN: A FORMAL ANALYSIS AND FAILURE MODES Vermaas, Pieter (1); Dorst, Kees (2,3); Thurgood, Clementine (2) 1: Delft University of Technology, Netherlands; 2: University of Technology Sydney, Australia; 3: Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands Abstract This contribution presents a formal description of the design practice of framing and identifies two general modes in which framing can lead to failure in design projects. The first is called the goal reformulation failure mode and occurs when designers reformulate the goal of the client in a design task and give design solutions that solve the reformulated goal but not the original goal. The second is called the frame failure mode and occurs when designers propose a frame for the design task that cannot be accepted by the client. The analysis of framing and its failure modes is aimed at better understanding this design practice and provides a first step towards arriving at criteria that successful applications of framing should meet. The description and the failure modes are illustrated by critically considering an initially successful case of framing, namely the redesign of the Kings Cross entertainment district in Sydney. Keywords: Framing, Design Theory, Design methodology, Failure modes Contact: Dr. Pieter Vermaas TU Delft Netherlands, The [email protected] Please cite this paper as: Surnames, Initials: Title of paper. In: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Engineering Design (ICED15), Vol. nn: Title of Volume, Milan, Italy, 27.-30.07.2015 ICED15 1 1 INTRODUCTION One of the powerful practices in the toolkit of designers and design thinkers is the framing of a design task, that is, the creation of a new perspective on a design task.

  • How Mental Health, Sojourner Adjustment, and Drinking Motives Impact Alcohol-Related Consequences for College Students Studying Abroad
    Syracuse University SURFACE Dissertations - ALL SURFACE December 2015 HOW MENTAL HEALTH, SOJOURNER ADJUSTMENT, AND DRINKING MOTIVES IMPACT ALCOHOL-RELATED CONSEQUENCES FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS STUDYING ABROAD Laura Kay Thompson Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Student Counseling and Personnel Services Commons Recommended Citation Thompson, Laura Kay, "HOW MENTAL HEALTH, SOJOURNER ADJUSTMENT, AND DRINKING MOTIVES IMPACT ALCOHOL-RELATED CONSEQUENCES FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS STUDYING ABROAD" (2015). Dissertations - ALL. 408. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/408 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract The topic of college student drinking has been widely addressed in the literature. Traditional-aged college students are considered to be an at-risk population in terms of the problematic use of alcohol, putting them at risk for a wide range of negative consequences. College students who study abroad are a sub-group of students who may be vulnerable to increased alcohol-related consequences due to variables associated with being in an unfamiliar environment where alcohol is often more accessible. While previous studies have explored the impact that a range of factors has on alcohol-related consequences for students abroad, none has examined the impact that mental health has on consequences. The present study sought to address this gap in the literature by sampling college students (N = 157) who were participating in a study abroad program during Spring 2015.

    The quality of care among older adults with diabetes comorbid with other chronic conditions by Yelena Petrosyan A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Institute of Health Policy, Management & Evaluation University of Toronto © Copyright by Yelena Petrosyan 2017 The quality of care among older adults with diabetes comorbid with other chronic conditions Yelena Petrosyan Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation University of Toronto 2017 Abstract The management of people with multiple chronic conditions requires understanding the extent to which concurrent chronic conditions contribute and interact to affect the patient’s health status, as well as assessing the risk and benefits of various strategies for the treatment of complex needs in patients. A single condition focus in both clinical care and research remains and limits the assessment of care for people with multiple chronic conditions. The overall aim of this project was to evaluate the quality of overall care for older adults with selected disease combinations in ambulatory care settings. The first study aimed to identify a set of evidence-based and valid quality indicators for evaluating ambulatory care for older adults with selected chronic conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, chronic ischemic heart disease, major depression and osteoarthritis. The second study aimed to critically appraise the identified quality indicators and select a set of indicators for evaluating the quality of care for older adults with diabetes with comorbid concordant and discordant chronic conditions. The third study aimed to examine the difference in the quality of care between patients with 2 vs.
