The D*Phase-study: Comparing short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy for major depressive disorder in a randomised controlled non-inferiority trial.

Background: Given both the large volume and manifold preferences of patients with depression, the availability of various effective treatments is important. Psychodynamic psychotherapy (PDT) has received less research in comparison to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for major depressive disorder (MDD). This study aimed to establish whether short-term psychodynamic supportive psychotherapy (SPSP) is non-inferior to CBT in the treatment of MDD.

Limited content overlap between commonly used self-report instruments for central (pain) sensitization in rheumatology.

Objectives: Central pain mechanisms may be prominent in a considerable subset of rheumatology patients with persistent pain. Several self-report instruments have been used in previous research to infer the presence and severity of central sensitization (CS) that stem from different definitions or approaches of CS. The current study aimed to evaluate and quantify the overlap of actual symptoms measured among self-report measures of CS in rheumatology.

The burden of adverse drug reactions reported by patients in the Dutch ADR monitor: a proof of concept.

Background: We aimed to describe the burden of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reported by patients participating in the Dutch ADR Monitor using a multifactorial burden measurement instrument.

Methods: The Dutch ADR Monitor is a cohort event monitoring system that collects information on ADR experiences, including burden. This study includes the initial data (November 2022 until May 2023).

Quantification of longitudinal patient-reported burden of adverse drug reactions attributed to the use of TNF-α inhibitors in inflammatory rheumatic diseases: an observational prospective cohort study.

Background: There is a lack of knowledge on patient perspectives on adverse drug reactions (ADRs) attributed to the use of biologics. The aim of this study is to quantify the burden over time of ADRs attributed to TNF-α inhibitors in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) and investigate whether the burden over time differs between different types of ADRs.

Research Design And Methods: Data were used from the Dutch Biologic Monitor (DBM), an observational prospective cohort study for patient-reported ADRs attributed to biologics.

Effectiveness of a positive psychology and mindfulness-based app on mental health for parents of children with a neurodevelopmental disorder: study protocol of a pragmatic international randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Parents of children with a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) experience more stress than parents of typically developing children. In a cocreation process with experts and parents, a low-threshold application that uses exercises based on the principles of positive psychology and mindfulness was developed. This application, called "Adappt," aims at enhancing the ability to adapt of the parents and caregivers of children with NDDs and at supporting their mental health.

Idiographic bidirectional associations of stressfulness of events and negative affect in daily life as indicators for mental health: An experience sampling study.

Evidence suggests that complex micro-dynamics occurring in daily life underly the development of mental distress. We aimed to (1) study the cross-lagged association between stressful events and negative affect (NA), (2) show that there is substantial between-person variability in idiographic associations and (3) show that idiographic associations are indicative of mental health. Experience sampling study assessing perceived stressfulness of events (PSE) and NA four times per day for 2 weeks in a non-clinical convenience sample (N = 70, mean age = 22.

Predicting which intervention works better for whom: Moderators of treatment effect of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Positive Psychology Intervention in patients with bipolar disorder.

Background: This study aimed to identify moderators of treatment effect (i.e. depressive symptoms and well-being) of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Positive Psychology Intervention (PPI) in patients with bipolar disorder.

The Relationship between Nociceptive Detection Thresholds and Pressure- and Electrical Pain Thresholds: An Explorative Study in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients.

Recently, methods have been developed enabling the characterization of the nociceptive function at the detection threshold level by measuring nociceptive detection thresholds (NDTs), rather than at the level of the pain threshold via pain threshold (PT) measurements. Both NDT and PT measurements aim to characterize (parts of) the nociceptive system. To date it is unclear if, and if so to what extent, the two outcomes relate to one another.

Test-Retest Reliability of the Generalized Pain Questionnaire in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Preliminary Reference Values for Non-Clinical and Several Clinical Samples.

Introduction: Generalized pain hypersensitivity is a characteristic feature in many different types of chronic pain. Recently, a 7-item self-reported Generalized Pain Questionnaire (GPQ) was developed to evaluate the presence and severity of generalized pain hypersensitivity in chronic pain patients. Here, we evaluate the test-retest reliability of the GPQ and report on preliminary reference values for various patient groups and healthy subjects.

Predicting non-improvement of symptoms in daily mental healthcare practice using routinely collected patient-level data: a machine learning approach.

Objectives: Anxiety and mood disorders greatly affect the quality of life for individuals worldwide. A substantial proportion of patients do not sufficiently improve during evidence-based treatments in mental healthcare. It remains challenging to predict which patients will or will not benefit.

Further evaluation of inflammatory and non-inflammatory aspects of pain in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Objective: A high discrepancy between the number of tender and swollen joints (e.g. ΔTSJ ≥ 7) has previously been used as an indication for the presence of changes in central mechanisms in patients with moderate-to-high disease activity.

Objectively assessed long-term wearing patterns and predictors of wearing orthopaedic footwear in people with diabetes at moderate-to-high risk of foot ulceration: a 12 months observational study.

Background: Orthopaedic footwear can only be effective in preventing diabetic foot ulcers if worn by the patient. Robust data on long-term wearing time of orthopaedic footwear are not available, and needed to gain more insights into wearing patterns and associated factors (i.e.

The effectiveness of motivational interviewing on adherence to wearing orthopedic shoes in people with diabetes at low-to-high risk of foot ulceration: A multicenter cluster-randomized controlled trial.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of motivational interviewing (MI) performed by MI-trained podiatrists in improving adherence to wearing orthopedic shoes in comparison to usual care in people with diabetes at low-to-high risk of ulceration.

Methods: People with diabetes with loss of protective sensation and/or peripheral artery disease, and with orthopedic shoes prescription were allocated to receive one MI-consultation by a podiatrist randomized to MI training (n = 53) or usual care only (n = 68). Adherence was measured as the percentage of steps taken while wearing orthopedic shoes, determined using an insole temperature microsensor and wrist-worn activity tracker during one week at 3 and 6 months.

Exploring mental health dynamics during eating disorder treatment: A psychometric network study with panel data.

To explore mental health associations during eating disorder (ED) treatment. Based on the dual-continua model of mental health, general and ED-specific psychopathology, as well as emotional, psychological, and social well-being were considered as mental health domains. Network analyses with panel data were applied to explore within- (temporal and contemporaneous networks) and between-person effects in a sample of 1250 female ED patients during 12 months of outpatient treatment.

First validation of the model of sustainable mental health: Structural model validity and the indirect role of adaptation.

Objectives: There is a growing interest in mental well-being as a vital outcome in clinical practice in addition to mental illness. The model of sustainable mental health (SMH) was recently introduced to delineate how interventions can improve mental health by targeting barriers and resources of adaptation to life stressors, improving the ability to adapt and thereby reducing mental illness and improving mental well-being. The aim of the current study is to empirically validate the conceptual model of SMH as well as the assumed indirect role of ability to adapt.

Spirituality in the Context of Well-being. Evaluation of the Psychometric Properties and Added Value of the Spiritual Attitude and Involvement List Short Form (SAIL-SF).

There is growing evidence that spiritual well-being is positively associated with adaptive coping and health. The Spiritual Attitude and Involvement List (SAIL) was developed to measure a sense of connectedness to oneself, the environment and the transcendent as a universal experience. The aim of the current study was to develop a short form of the SAIL (SAIL-SF).

Introduction of the generic sense of ability to adapt scale and validation in a sample of outpatient adults with mental health problems.

Introduction: The ability to adapt is a core aspect of daily human life. Recent models and theories emphasize its essential role for health and well-being. It concerns the perceived ability to readjust and actively deal with the psychosocial consequences of challenging events.

Impact of adverse drug reactions on the treatment pathways of early rheumatoid arthritis patients: a prospective observational cohort study.

Background: Several patient characteristics may be of influence on treatment pathways of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in clinical practice. The aim of this study is to analyze treatment pathways of early RA patients stratified for gender and adverse drug reaction (ADR) occurrence.

Research Design And Methods: Treatment pathways of patients included in the DREAM-RA treat-to-target cohort I between 16th of July 2006-30th of April 2020 were assessed.

The Traumatic Grief Inventory-Clinician Administered: A psychometric evaluation of a new interview for ICD-11 and DSM-5-TR prolonged grief disorder severity and probable caseness.

Background: There is a need for an interview-based measure to assess Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) included in the text revision of the fifth Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorder (DSM-5-TR) and 11th edition of the International Classification of Disease (ICD-11). We evaluated the psychometric properties of the Traumatic Grief Inventory-Clinician Administered (TGI-CA); a new interview measuring DSM-5-TR and ICD-11 PGD severity and probable caseness.

Methods: In 211 Dutch and 222 German bereaved adults, the: (i) factor structure, (ii) internal consistency, (iii) test-retest reliability, (iv) measurement invariance across subgroups (e.

A multicomponent positive psychology intervention for euthymic patients with bipolar disorder to improve mental well-being and personal recovery: A pragmatic randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Mental well-being and personal recovery are important treatment targets for patients with bipolar disorder (BD). The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week group multicomponent positive psychology intervention (PPI) for euthymic patients with BD as an adjunct to treatment as usual (TAU) compared to TAU alone.

Methods: Patients with BD were randomized to receive TAU (n = 43) or the PPI in addition to TAU (n = 54).

Development and validation of a Manic Thought Inventory.

Objective: This article describes the development and psychometric evaluation of the Manic Thought Inventory (MTI), a patient-driven self-report inventory to assess the presence of typical (hypo)manic cognitions.

Methods: The initial item pool was generated by patients with bipolar disorder (BD) type I and assessed for suitability by five psychiatrists specialized in treating BD. Study 1 describes the item analysis and exploratory factor structure of the MTI in a sample of 251 patients with BD type I.
