“…This might be the reason why ego-dystonicity, as evaluated in this study, can explain only a partial variance of the association between alexithymia and OC symptoms in OCD patients. Healthy participants, however, generally experience inconsistency with preferences and past behavior when talking about ego-dystonicity [11,12], and their OC symptoms linked to alexithymia are likely due to self-inconsistency and stereotype, as found in this study.…”

“…For an individual, a higher SCCS score (the score of the self-flexibility subscale is reversed) indicates greater ego-dystonicity. The SCCS has been validated and used in studies of clinical and nonclinical populations with an internal consistency ranging from 0.64 to 0.81 [11,12].…”

“…So far, the path relations between alexithymia, ego-dystonicity, and OC symptoms have not been directly tested. Moreover, the concept of ego-dystonicity can be concretized into 3 dimensions: self-inconsistency, self-inflexibility, and self-stereotype [11][12][13]. Self-inconsistency is characterized by a disharmony between self-cognition and experience; self-inflexibility is characterized by inadaptation when facing conflict between self needs and external reality; and self-stereotype is characterized by a fixed image that a person has of himself/herself that is often not true in reality [13].…”

Aims: This cross-sectional study aimed to test the path relations between alexithymia, ego-dystonicity, anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and healthy individuals. Methods: Fifty-eight patients with OCD (mean age 35.5 years) and 54 healthy participants (mean age 33.5 years) completed an assessment via a structured clinical interview. All of them completed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), the Vancouver Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (VOCI), the Self-Consistency and Congruence Scale (SCCS), the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results: In the OCD patients, alexithymia (a linear combination of difficulty identifying and describing emotions in the self) was associated with the OC symptoms either with or without the presence of ego-dystonicity (a profile of self-inconsistency and self-stereotype). In the heathy participants, alexithymia was associated with the OC symptoms only through ego-dystonic experiences. Conclusion: This study provides evidence that ego-dystonicity partially affects the association between alexithymia and obsessive-compulsions. Alexithymia and ego-dystonicity have a synergistic effect on the symptoms of OCD. Alexithymia in healthy participants associates to the OC symptoms only through ego-dystonicity. Targeting ego-dystonicity dimensions in psychotherapy would help improve the symptoms of OCD.

“…Furthermore, a recent randomized clinical trial showed that staff training in evidence-based therapeutic activities improved the perceptions of care among those admitted involuntarily (Wykes et al 2017). In other studies, interventions directed at patients (Hatonen et al 2010;She et al 2016) as well as education and interventions directed at staff members (Nesset et al 2009;Richards et al 2005), improved patients' perceptions of satisfaction, ward atmosphere, and symptoms. Changes in staff members' perceptions of aspects of nursing care after education and implementation of interventions directed at staff members had positive results on ward atmosphere (Eliassen et al 2016), level of perceived aggression (Swain & Gale 2014), and quality of care (Hosany et al 2007;Richards et al 2005).…”

A promising intervention in mental health in-patient care is behavioural activation (BA). Interventions based on BA can be used by mental health nurses and other staff members. The aim of this study was to evaluate patients' and staff members' experiences of a nursing staff-led behavioural group intervention in mental health in-patient care. The intervention was implemented at three adult acute general mental health in-patient wards in a public hospital setting in Sweden. A self-administrated questionnaire, completed by 84 patients and 34 nurses and nurse assistants, was administered, and nonparametric data analysed using descriptive statistics. Our findings revealed that both patients and nursing staff ranked nursing care and care environment as important aspects in the recovery process. Patients and staff members reported overall positive experiences of the group sessions. Patients with higher frequencies of attendance and patients satisfied with overall care had a more positive attitude towards the intervention. A more positive experience of being a group leader was reported by staff members who had been leading groups more than ten times. The most common impeding factor during implementation, reported by staff members, was a negative attitude to change. Conducive factors were having support from a psychologist and the perception that patients were showing interest. These positive experiences reported by patients and nursing staff, combined with previous research in this field, are taking us one step further in evaluating group sessions based on BA as a meaningful nursing intervention in mental health in-patient care.
