Self-report measures of fear learning and extinction and their association with internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy outcome.

Despite the widespread use of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), only about half of patients respond favourably. Understanding whether relevant psychological processes are associated with treatment response could help identify patients at risk of non-response prior to treatment and improve their outcomes by enabling clinicians to tailor interventions accordingly. Fear conditioning tasks are a valuable tool for studying the learning processes associated with anxiety disorders and their treatment.

A descriptive investigation of alarm activation in a critical care setting.

Background: Alarm fatigue, a phenomenon referring to clinicians being desensitized to the high volume of monitoring alarms, can impact the working environment, clinical care and patient outcomes. Explorations and understandings of alarm fatigue have yet to be a focus of attention in the Australian context.

Aim: To describe the prevalence and type of alarms activated in intensive care and cardiac units in a major metropolitan hospital in Victoria, Australia.

The time has come: discussing the clinical neuropsychology provider's role in cultural respect and inclusion.

There has been both a national and global emphasis within the past 3 years to promote diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and cultural respect in healthcare and academia. One discipline and healthcare arena where this has been evident is the psychology field. Indeed, there has been rampant and widespread adoption and advancement of DEI and cultural respect across most of psychology.

Echocardiographic predictors of surgical outcomes in pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum and development of a discriminatory calculator: an Australian tertiary institution experience.

Introduction: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum is a rare congenital cardiac lesion with significant anatomical heterogeneity. Surgical planning of borderline cases remains challenging and is primarily based on echocardiography. The aim was to identify echocardiographic parameters that correlate with surgical outcome and to develop a discriminatory calculator.

Compliance considerations in the geo-enrichment of an EHR data warehouse with social and environmental determinants of health.

Social and environmental determinants of health (SEDoH) are crucial for achieving a holistic understanding of patient health. In fact, geographic factors may have more influence on health outcomes than patients' genetics. Integrating SEDoH into the electronic health record (EHR), however, poses notable technical and compliance-related challenges.
