Compilation and Validation of Two Short Forms to Measure HEXACO Dimensions in Elementary School Children.

Personality trait measures for children are rarely based on the HEXACO Model of Personality, although research using this framework could provide important insights into the structure and development of children's personalities. There is no HEXACO measure for elementary school children to date, and existing measures for older children seem inappropriate for this age group (e.g.

SARS-CoV-2 and Adolescent Psychiatric Emergencies at the Tübingen University Hospital: Analyzing Trends, Diagnoses, and Contributing Factors.

Psychiatric emergencies have increased in recent decades, particularly with the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, and far too little is known about the backgrounds of these emergencies. In this study, we investigated the extent to which the number of psychiatric emergencies changed during and in the aftermath of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) Tübingen. We considered age and psychiatric diagnoses.

[Evolution of Emergency Department Characteristics in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: A Retrospective Review over Two Decades].

Evolution of Emergency Department Characteristics in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: A Retrospective Review over Two Decades Emergency inpatient admissions to child and adolescent psychiatric hospitals because of a mental health crisis represent a substantial proportion of all inpatient admissions and have increased substantially over time. This study examines changes in the characteristics of this patient group at a university care clinic over two decades. We evaluated the emergency admissions from 1996, 2002, 2008, and 2014 of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Clinic in Tübingen retrospectively using sociodemographic data, psychosocial circumstances, and diagnoses.

[Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Emergencies During the Second Wave of the SARS-CoV2-19 Pandemic: Findings from the Tübingen University Hospital].

Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Emergencies During the Second Wave of the SARS-CoV2-19 Pandemic: Findings from the Tübingen University Hospital Child and adolescent psychiatric emergencies during the SARS-CoV2-19 pandemic are part of a controversial discussion. This study investigates the volume of such emergencies, the age of the patients, and the diagnoses of eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) that occurred at the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Center (CAP) Tübingen during the second wave of the pandemic compared to the year before. We evaluated data on all emergencies at CAP Tübingen (telephone calls, outpatients, patient admissions) from 10/2019-01/2020 (first time period) and 10/2020-01/2021 (second wave).

Internet-based psychotherapy in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): protocol of a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in children can lead to a huge burden on the concerned patients and their family members. While successful state-of-the art cognitive behavioral interventions exist, there is still a lack of available experts for treatment at home, where most symptoms manifest. Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) could overcome these restrictions; however, studies about iCBT in children with OCD are rare and mostly target computerized self-help resources and only email contact with the therapist.

Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy in children and adolescents with obsessive compulsive disorder: a feasibility study.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the first choice of treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in children and adolescents. However, there is often a lack of access to appropriate treatment close to the home of the patients. An internet-based CBT via videoconferencing could facilitate access to state-of-the-art treatment even in remote areas.
