Self-Schemas

Self-Schemas

In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932).

When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in situations...

Taste Buds and Receptors

Taste Buds and Receptors

Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Area of Science:

Eating Disorders Research
Adolescent Health
Healthcare Transitions

Background:

Young individuals with eating disorders (EDs) face challenging transitions from pediatric to adult healthcare services.
Existing research on this topic is predominantly qualitative, lacking a focused synthesis.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize qualitative findings on the experiences and challenges associated with transitioning young people with EDs to adult services.
To provide an evidence base for developing interventions and co-producing improved transition processes.

Main Methods:

A systematic review of qualitative studies was conducted.
Meta-aggregation was employed to analyze the data from 21 identified qualitative studies.

Main Results:

Key findings highlight the need for age-specific attention, consideration of distress among all parties, and clear communication.
Recommendations include early skill-building in pediatric care, personalized transition plans, streamlined referrals, and enhanced GP training.
Effective strategies involve joint supports, shared service philosophies, balanced parent involvement, and tailored adult services, including emerging adult programming.

Conclusions:

This qualitative synthesis provides evidence to inform the development of interventions and co-production of services for young people with EDs during healthcare transitions.
The findings align with existing expert guidance, offering a robust qualitative evidence base.
