ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate how filial piety might bear on care burden experienced by Chinese family caregivers of people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in Hong Kong. Altogether 150 Chinese family caregivers participated in the survey by completing the Caregiver Burden Inventory, Caregiving Difficulty, and Contemporary Filial Piety Scale and answering some demographic questions. The results indicate that family caregivers of people with T2DM experience more difficulty in social caring than in daily caring and physical caring and their burden mainly centers around the time pressure of being preoccupied with the caregiving work. Caregiver burden is indicated positively by caring difficulty and caregiver’s age and negatively by filial piety. It appears, therefore, that nurturing, treasuring this traditional Chinese value may alleviate burden and stress relating to caring for Chinese family members with T2DM.

ABSTRACT The study presents a reflective tool that enables students to observe their personal and professional development process by formulating personal life stories; these narratives serve to identify each student’s characteristic lifestyle and modes of action. An atypical event is ‘captured’, one containing an ‘I-moment’ with a ‘different’ kernel of insight or action. The tool proposes reflective examination of the event, critical observation, re-conceptualization, and new action. This approach can expand current training methods, serving as a means for students in education professions both to analyze their own self-development and to assist others in resolving difficulties and overcoming barriers to change.

ABSTRACT Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) has been used as a tool to detect cognitive impairment in patients treated with antiepileptic drugs, however fail to detect mild cognitive impairment in these patients. Studies report Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) is more sensitive than MMSE in detecting cognitive status in patients with stroke, parkinsonism, cardiovascular disease and epilepsy. Homocysteine has been implicated in the modulation of cognitive impairment in epilepsy but could not be established clearly as most studies followed MMSE. To investigate the relationship between homocysteine and cognitive status the present study employed MOCA in comparison with MMSE in epilepsy population with phenytoin monotherapy. Our findings suggest MOCA is more sensitive than MMSE in demonstrating the relationship between homocysteine and cognitive impairment in epilepsy.

ABSTRACT Counselors regularly deal with a wide variety of trauma-affected clients. However, supervisors are often not knowledgeable about trauma-informed supervision that addresses the unique features and challenges associated with working with trauma-affected clients. Trauma-informed supervision is important for counselors in supervision. Trauma-informed counseling supervision is a way to guide the counselor in supervision who is working with trauma-affected clients and to concurrently assess and help the counselor address issues of vicarious trauma and encourage self-care.

ABSTRACT This five-year single case study was aimed to understand the role of birth families in the family dynamics of one American family with two daughters adopted from China over the course of their transition into adolescence. Six open-ended interviews with the adoptive mother, triangulated with two unstructured observations, revealed that despite their physical absence, the adoptees’ birth families occupied an important space in the family dynamics of this adoptive family. Interviews with the adoptive mother revealed that for the two adopted children, the absent presence of their respective birth families had different cognitive, affective, and behavioral manifestations. Over the course of transitioning from childhood to adolescence, there was a gradual and noticeable increase of autonomy in both adoptees in initiating adoption conversations. There was also a power shift from the adoptive mother to the two daughters in family discussions on birth families, although differences between the two adoptees in handling birth family-related issues were also apparent. Findings highlighted the palpable presence of birth families in the lives of adopted children and meaningful differences between the two adoptees raised in one adoptive family. Implications for family clinicians working with adoptive families were discussed.

ABSTRACT Although personal therapy was advocated as a route to personal and professional growth of therapists, it was rarely used in the training of non-professional counsellors, such as teachers and youth workers. This qualitative study explored the experiences of 15 undergraduate preservice teachers and youth workers from a university in Singapore who attended mandatory individual and group personal development sessions as part of para-counsellor training. Twelve subcategories in four categories were identified using Strauss’ and Corbin’s grounded theory methodology. Participants perceived that personal therapy influenced their personal and professional growth, and changed their perception of counselling from negative to positive. Their beliefs in the efficacy of counselling were validated, and they were more willing to seek help through counselling in future.

ABSTRACT Arguably one of the most important components of cognitive-behavioural counselling occurs after the client has finished a counselling session when they attempt to convert their goals identified in the clinic into positive behaviour change. However, clients often struggle to implement and complete treatment plans because of difficulties with self-management. Motivated by the increasing demand for evidence of the effectiveness for therapeutic interventions, this study aimed to evaluate a collaboratively designed self-management program using a single-case experimental design with baseline, intervention and 6-month post-intervention follow-up to help a mature-aged individual begin and maintain a higher intensity fitness regime. The dependent variables were distance and time with the goal being able to run 5km non-stop within 30 minutes. After the intervention phase the participant was able to increase his running distance from a baseline mean of 1.36km to the 5km goal in 30 minutes, remaining injury free. Setting targets and making them public appeared to play a role in motivating the participant to complete goals. The explanatory force for adherence to the self-directed program may provide insights in other areas of behaviour, such as compliance with pharmaceutical and dietary regimes.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to translate and provide an initial validation for a full Mandarin-Chinese version of the Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory (B-L RI:MC) to include forms Other toward Self-64 (OS-64) and Other toward Self-40 (OS-40) for use in the Mandarin-Chinese research and clinical contexts. B-L RI:MC OS-64 was translated by a bilingual panel and subsequently administered to 658 Mandarin-speaking Taiwanese respondents online using an age-stratified random sampling strategy. Through both the factor analytic strategy of principle component analysis (PCA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the reliability and construct validity were investigated. The final results support the original four subscale dimensionality of the inventory. B-L RI:MC OS-64 showed Cronbach’s alpha was .96 and KMO = .97. PCA using Varimax rotation yielded a four-factor model supporting the sub-scales: level of regard, empathic understanding, unconditionality of regard and congruence, which explained 49.911% squared loading of the total variance. B-L RI:MC OS-64 and OS-40 were supported by the structures in CFA, which displayed NFI = .95 and .95, CFI = .97 and .96, IFI = .97 and .96, and RMSEA = .092 and .091, indicating a promising construct validity. In conclusion B-L RI:MC OS-64 and OS-40 versions can be considered appropriate for measuring the Rogerian therapeutic relationship conditions within a Mandarin speaking community.
