posttraumatic growth and ptsd symptomatology among colorectal cancer survivors a 3 month longitudinal examination of Cognitive Processing
Psycho-oncology, 2009Co-Authors: John M Salsman, Emily H Brechting, Charles R Carlson, Suzanne C Segerstrom, Michael A. AndrykowskiAbstract:Introduction: The experience of cancer can be understood as a psychosocial transition, producing both positive and negative outcomes. Cognitive Processing may facilitate psychological adjustment. Methods: Fifty-five post-treatment, colorectal cancer survivors (M=65.9 years old; SD=12.7), an average of 13 months post-diagnosis, were recruited from a state cancer registry and completed baseline and 3-month questionnaires assessing dispositional (social desirability), Cognitive Processing (Cognitive intrusions, Cognitive rehearsal), and psychological adjustment variables (posttraumatic growth (PTG), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology, depression, anxiety, positive affectivity). Results: PTSD symptomatology was positively associated with depression, anxiety, and negatively associated with positive affectivity. In contrast, PTG scores were unrelated to PTSD symptomatology, depression, anxiety, and positive affectivity. In addition, PTG was independent of social desirability. Notably, after controlling for age at diagnosis and education, multiple regression analyses indicated that Cognitive Processing (intrusions, rehearsal) was differentially predictive of psychological adjustment. Baseline Cognitive intrusions predicted 3-month PTSD symptomatology and there was a trend for baseline Cognitive rehearsal predicting 3-month PTG. Conclusions: Additional research is needed to clarify the association between PTG and other indices of psychological adjustment, further delineate the nature of Cognitive Processing, and understand the trajectory of PTG over time for survivors with colorectal cancer.

social constraints Cognitive Processing and adjustment to breast cancer
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2001Co-Authors: Matthew J Cordova, Charles R Carlson, Lauren L C Cunningham, Michael A. AndrykowskiAbstract:This cross-sectional study of 70 breast cancer survivors examined relationships among social constraints, behavioral and self-report indicators of Cognitive Processing, depression, and well-being. On the basis of a social-Cognitive Processing (SCP) model, it was predicted that social constraints would inhibit Cognitive Processing of the cancer experience, leading to poorer adjustment. Constraints were positively associated with intrusions, avoidance, and linguistic uncertainty in cancer narratives. Greater uncertainty, intrusions, and avoidance, as well as less talking about cancer were associated with greater depression and less well-being. Intrusions partially mediated the positive constraints-depression relationship. Talking about cancer partially mediated the inverse avoidance-well-being relationship. Findings support the SCP model and the importance of using behavioral indicators of Cognitive Processing to predict positive and negative psychosocial outcomes of cancer.

Cognitive Processing speed working memory and the intelligibility of hearing aid processed speech in persons with hearing impairment
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017Co-Authors: Wycliffe Kabaywe YumbaAbstract:Previous studies have demonstrated that successful listening with advanced signal Processing in digital hearing aids is associated with individual Cognitive capacity, particularly working memory capacity (WMC). This study aimed to examine the relationship between Cognitive abilities (Cognitive Processing speed and working memory capacity) and individual listeners’ responses to digital signal Processing settings in adverse listening conditions. A total of 194 native Swedish speakers (83 women and 111 men), aged 33-80 years (mean=60.75 years, SD=8.89), with bilateral, symmetrical mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss who had completed a lexical decision speed test (measuring Cognitive Processing speed) and semantic word-pair span test (SWPST, capturing working memory capacity) participated in this study. The Hagerman test (capturing speech recognition in noise) was conducted using an experimental hearing aid with three digital signal Processing settings: (1) linear amplification without noise reduction (NoP), (2) linear amplification with noise reduction (NR), and (3) nonlinear amplification without NR (“fast-acting compression”). The results showed that Cognitive Processing speed was a better predictor of speech intelligibility in noise, regardless of the types of signal Processing algorithms used. That is, there was a stronger association between Cognitive Processing speed and NR outcomes and fast-acting compression outcomes (in steady state noise). We observed a weaker relationship between working memory and NR, but WMC did not relate to fast-acting compression. WMC was a relatively weaker predictor of speech intelligibility in noise. These findings might have been different if the participants had been provided with training and or allowed to acclimatize to binary masking noise reduction or fast-acting compression.

Cognitive Processing therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder via telehealth practical considerations during the covid 19 pandemic
Journal of Traumatic Stress, 2020Co-Authors: John C Moring, Candice M Monson, Kathleen M Chard, Katherine A Dondanville, Brooke A Fina, Christina M Hassija, Stefanie T Losavio, Stephanie Y WellsAbstract:The global outbreak of COVID-19 has required mental health providers to rapidly rethink and adapt how they provide care. Cognitive Processing therapy (CPT) is a trauma-focused, evidence-based treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder that is effective when delivered in-person or via telehealth. Given current limitations on the provision of in-person mental health treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic, this article presents guidelines and treatment considerations when implementing CPT via telehealth. Based on lessons learned from prior studies and clinical delivery of CPT via telehealth, recommendations are made with regard to overall strategies for adapting CPT to a telehealth format, including how to conduct routine assessments and ensure treatment fidelity.

comparing response to Cognitive Processing therapy in military veterans with subthreshold and threshold posttraumatic stress disorder
Journal of Traumatic Stress, 2013Co-Authors: Benjamin D Dickstein, Jeremiah A Schumm, Kristen H Walter, Kathleen M ChardAbstract:Research suggests that subthreshold posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology is associated with increased risk for psychological and functional impairment, including increased risk for suicidal ideation. However, it does not appear that any studies to date have investigated whether subthreshold PTSD can effectively be treated with evidence-based, trauma-focused treatment. Accordingly, we tested response to Cognitive Processing therapy (CPT) in 2 groups of military veterans receiving care at a VA outpatient specialty clinic, 1 with subthreshold PTSD at pretreatment (n = 51) and the other with full, diagnostic PTSD (n = 483). Multilevel analysis revealed that both groups experienced a significant decrease in PTSD symptoms over the course of therapy (the full and subthreshold PTSD groups experienced an average decrease of 1.79 and 1.52 points, respectively, on the PTSD Checklist with each increment of time, which was coded from 0 at pretreatment to 13 at posttreatment). After controlling for pretreatment symptom severity, a between-groups difference was not found. These results suggest that CPT is an effective form of treatment among military veterans, and that its effectiveness does not differ between subthreshold and threshold groups.

group Cognitive Processing therapy delivered to veterans via telehealth a pilot cohort
Journal of Traumatic Stress, 2011Co-Authors: Leslie A Morland, Patricia A Resick, Anna K Hynes, Margaretanne Mackintosh, Kathleen M ChardAbstract:The authors report clinical findings from the pilot cohort of the first prospective, noninferiority-designed randomized clinical trial evaluating the clinical outcomes of delivering a Cognitive-behavioral group intervention for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Cognitive Processing therapy (CPT), via video teleconferencing (VT) compared to the in-person modality. The treatment was delivered to 13 veterans with PTSD residing on the Hawaiian Islands. Results support the general feasibility and safety of using VT. Both groups showed clinically meaningful reductions in PTSD symptoms and no significant between-group differences on clinical or process outcome variables. In keeping with treatment manual recommendations, a few changes were made to the CPT protocol to accommodate this population. Novel aspects of this trial and lessons learned are discussed.

a comparison of oef and oif veterans and vietnam veterans receiving Cognitive Processing therapy
Journal of Traumatic Stress, 2010Co-Authors: Kathleen M Chard, Jeremiah A Schumm, Gina P Owens, Sara M CottinghamAbstract:The current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are producing large numbers of veterans who have experienced a variety of combat stressors. The potential impact of combat exposure has been established, including significant rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Limited research has examined potential differences between veteran groups and one study to date has examined differences between eras in terms of treatment response. The present study seeks to examine cohort differences between Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans and Vietnam veterans (N = 101) before and after completing treatment for PTSD using Cognitive Processing therapy. Findings suggest that veterans from these eras responded differently to treatment and there are multiple variables that should be considered in future cohort studies.
