COMPARISON OF VARIOUS PSYCHOLOGICAL HUMAN NEED MODELS WITH SCHEMA THERAPY.

Several theories have been proposed over the last few decades on identifying various fundamental psychological human needs. These theories were compared to a more recent theory using concepts from a fast growing form of psychotherapy called schema therapy. The empirical basis of the model from schema therapy was provided using Eastern and Western samples.

Breaking the Rules: Upper Pole Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction Causing Massive Urinary Tract Dilation in a Neonate With Prenatal Diagnosis of Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney.

Prenatal diagnosis of left multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) and ureterocele was made in a male fetus at 24-week gestation. The initial postnatal course was uneventful. At 4 weeks of age, he developed urosepsis and respiratory distress.

Factors Influencing Meal Provision and Dietary Support Behaviour of Caregivers of People with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background/objectives: Caregivers play an important role in supporting care recipients to navigate their health needs, including adherence to dietary recommendations, which are complex and multifaceted. This study aims to (i) describe the nutrition knowledge of caregivers of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and (ii) explore caregivers' perceptions of their role in providing healthy meals and nutrition support for care recipients.

Methods: A cross-sectional study design employed a multi-strategy research approach.

A Model of Core Emotional Needs and Toxic Experiences: Their Links with Schema Domains, Well-Being, and Ill-Being.

This study examined the second-order schema domains of Early Maladaptive and Adaptive Schemas based on recent trends and compared them with the five theoretical second-order schema domains commonly used in schema therapy. Using six international Eastern and Western community samples-Singapore ( = 628), Malaysia ( = 229), USA ( = 396), South Africa ( = 390), Nigeria ( = 364), India ( = 306)-confirmatory factor analysis showed that the four second-order domains of EMSs and EASs, which ran almost parallel with each other, were the most robust models calling into question the validity of the five domain model. Given the hypothesized links between schemas and needs, these four categories of EMSs and EASs represent four categories of toxic experiences and core emotional needs, respectively.
