Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

2.3K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

15.4K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

560
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Cognitive Therapy01:25

Cognitive Therapy

1.4K
Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...

Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

701
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders01:24

Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders

876
Treatment approaches for psychological disorders fall into three main categories: psychological, biological, and sociocultural. Each approach targets different aspects of mental health, requiring varying levels of education and training.
Psychological therapies focus on modifying emotions, thoughts, and behaviors through talking, interpreting, listening, rewarding, challenging, and modeling. Clinical psychologists, counselors, and social workers commonly practice psychotherapy. Clinical...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Military Health

Background:

  • Cognitive training leverages neuroplasticity to enhance cognitive performance and psychological well-being.
  • It is being explored as a preventative measure against maladaptive behaviors, specifically substance use disorder and suicidal ideation/behaviors within military populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the potential of cognitive training as a preventative intervention for maladaptive behaviors in a military context.
  • To review evidence linking cognitive training benefits to reduced risks of substance use and suicide.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of SMART (SMART+) and BrainHQ cognitive training programs.
  • Incorporated recent data from National Guard deployment of SMART+ and BrainHQ.
  • Conducted a literature review on cognitive training's relationship with substance use and suicide risk.

Main Results:

  • Cognitive training appears to mitigate maladaptive behaviors through three pathways: enhanced higher-order cognitive functions, reduced psychological distress, and improved social connectedness.
  • Benefits observed in healthy populations suggest applicability as a 'brain fitness' tool.

Conclusions:

  • Cognitive training bolsters protective factors (e.g., emotional regulation, problem-solving) and reduces risk factors (e.g., social isolation).
  • It can be framed as a brain fitness tool, potentially overcoming resistance to 'mental health' interventions in military settings.
  • Further research is recommended to quantify the relationship between cognitive training and primary prevention of maladaptive behaviors in military populations.
