  • Cognitive Reframing for carers of people with dementia
    Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2011
    Co-Authors: Myrra Vernooijdassen, Irena Draskovic, Jenny Mccleery, Murna Downs
    Abstract:

    Background The balance of evidence about whether psychosocial interventions for caregivers of people with dementia could reduce carers' psychological morbidity and delay their relatives' institutionalisation is now widely regarded as moderately positive (Brodaty 2003; Spijker 2008). Multi-component, tailor-made psychosocial interventions are considered to be particularly promising (Brodaty 2003; Spijker 2008). These interventions involve multiple mechanisms of action. In this review we focused solely on the effectiveness of one element within psychosocial interventions, Cognitive Reframing. Cognitive Reframing is a component of Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). In dementia care, Cognitive Reframing interventions focus on family carers’ maladaptive, self-defeating or distressing cognitions about their relatives’ behaviors and about their own performance in the caring role. Objectives The objective of this review was to evaluate the effectiveness of Cognitive Reframing interventions for family carers of people with dementia on their psychological morbidity and stress. Search methods The trials were identified by searching (5 April 2009) the Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group Specialized Register, which contains records from major healthcare databases: The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL and LILACS, ongoing trial databases and grey literature sources. For more detailed information on what the Group's specialized register contains and to view the search strategies see the Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group methods used in reviews. The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, LILACS and a number of trial registers and grey literature sources were also searched separately on 5 April 2009. Selection criteria Randomised controlled trials of Cognitive Reframing interventions for family carers of people with dementia. Data collection and analysis Three assessors (MVD, ID, JmC) independently judged whether the intervention being studied was documented in a trial; two assessors assessed trial quality. Main results Pooled data indicated a beneficial effect of Cognitive Reframing interventions on carers' psychological morbidity, specifically anxiety (standardised mean difference (SMD) -0.21; 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.39 to -0.04), depression (SMD -0.66; 95% CI -1.27 to -0.05), and subjective stress (SMD -0.23; 95% CI -0.43 to -0.04). No effects were found for carers’ coping, appraisal of the burden, reactions to their relatives’ behaviors, or institutionalization of the person with dementia. Authors' conclusions Cognitive Reframing for family carers of people with dementia seems to reduce psychological morbidity and subjective stress but without altering appraisals of coping or burden. The results suggest that it may be an effective component of individualised, multi-component interventions for carers. Identifying studies with relevant interventions was a challenge for this review. The impact of Cognitive Reframing might be higher when used alongside other interventions because this offers better opportunities to tailor Cognitive Reframing to actual everyday carer problems.

  • he said what guided Cognitive Reframing about the co resident father stepfather adolescent relationship
    Journal of Research on Adolescence, 2015
    Co-Authors: Jeffrey T Cookston, Andres Olide, Ross D Parke, William V Fabricius, Delia S Saenz, Sanford L Braver
    Abstract:

    We studied young adolescents' seeking out support to understand conflict with their co-resident fathers/stepfathers, and the Cognitive and affective implications of such support-seeking, phenomena we call guided Cognitive Reframing. Our sample included 392 adolescents (Mage = 12.5, 52.3% female) who were either of Mexican or European ancestry and lived with their biological mothers and either a stepfather or a biological father. More frequent Reframing was associated with more adaptive Cognitive explanations for father/stepfather behavior. Cognitions explained the link between seeking out and feelings about the father/stepfather and self. Feelings about the self were more strongly linked to depressive symptoms than cognitions. We discuss the implications for future research on social support, coping, guided Cognitive Reframing, and father–child relationships.

  • guided Cognitive Reframing of adolescent father conflict who mexican american and european american adolescents seek and why
    New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jeffrey T Cookston, Andres Olide, William V Fabricius, Michele Adams, Ross D Parke
    Abstract:

    Conflict between adolescents and their parents is an important predictor of adolescent adjustment (Gonzales, Deardorff, Formoso, Barr, & Barrera, 2006), and seeking social support to cope with conflict is healthy for adolescents (Nomaguchi, 2008). However, little is known about the psychological experience that social support plays in the lives of adolescents and what explains whether adolescents seek different sources of support. The choice to seek out others for support, the information sources provide, and the emotional consequences of those interactions are important to adolescents as they attempt to understand conflict interactions in their lives. We term this process guided Cognitive Reframing. In this chapter, we first offer a behavioral-Cognitive-affective conceptual model for guided Cognitive Reframing that links seeking out a source of support, engaging in Cognitive Reframing of the conflict, and the affective experiences that result from Reframing. Next, we review the literature on the confidants that adolescents seek (and the relative advantage of seeking each source). Finally, because the majority of the extant research has focused on adolescents in European American families, we examine cultural context, family, and individual factors that explain who is sought out to discuss family conflict among a diverse sample of Mexican American and European American 7th graders.
