Life event and symptom severity data were obtained from both a community and a hospital population approximately 6 months following initial study contact. The relationship between adversity and symptoms was then explored using a model in which the stressful impact of life events was assumed to decay with the passage of time. The period of decay of event stress was allowed to vary. The results demonstrated that a maximal association between the measure of residual adversity based upon the decay model, and symptomatic disability could thus be obtained. Variation within and between the sampled populations, revealed by the analyses, in terms of their respective maximizing decay periods may act as potential indicators of differences in the ability of those populations to cope with and adapt to adversity.
Through describing some of the things that trainees can get from attending personal awareness/ development groups during clinical training we hope that this paper will help trainees, facilitators and course staff to have and provide ‘good enough’ experiences of these groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
