Since the new conceptualization of motivation as a product of interpersonal exchanges, clinicians and researchers have shown a growing interest in understanding the process of and identifying factors increasing motivation for treatment. Elaborated from the self-determination theory, a motivational model was tested among 140 participants (recruited in a public outpatient readaptation center for substance-related disorders) who persevered in treatment for at least 6 weeks. The results support the usefulness of the self-determination theory in the field of motivation for treatment of substance-related disorders, and suggest some recommendations to enhance motivation: therapists must pay attention to the progression toward goal attainment and foster the perception of competence of their clients; treatment centers should offer a context that supports autonomy and that involves significant others.

This study explored the administration of goal attainment scaling (GAS) by entry-level occupational therapy (OT) students, examining their competency following minimal training. While GAS is valuable for measuring progress toward individualized client goals, its implementation requires specific skills and training that may challenge entry-level practitioners. Using retrospective data from a study of sensory garments' effects on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), we analyzed GAS administration by five entry-level OT students.

Exploring Genetic and Receptor-Based Dopaminergic Strategies for Antidepressant Drug Development.
Curr Gene Ther
January 2025
Department of Pharmacology, Delhi Pharmaceutical Sciences & Research University, Delhi, 110017, India.
The dopamine (DA) system is central to mood regulation, motivation, and reward processing, making it a critical focus for understanding Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). While the dopaminergic system's role in MDD pathophysiology has been acknowledged, gaps remain in linking specific receptor subtypes and genetic factors to depression-like phenotypes. This study explores the interplay between dopamine receptor subtypes (D1-D5) and associated genetic variations, particularly focusing on receptor heterodimers and polymorphisms influencing dopamine biosynthesis, signalling, and metabolism.

Background: While key to interpreting findings and assessing generalizability, implementation fidelity is underreported in mobile health (mHealth) literature. We evaluated implementation fidelity of an opt-in, hybrid, two-way texting (2wT) intervention previously demonstrated to improve 12-month retention on antiretroviral therapy (ART) among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in a quasi-experimental study in Lilongwe, Malawi.
Methods: Short message service (SMS) data and ART refill visit records were used to evaluate adherence to 2wT content, frequency and duration through the lens of the Conceptual Framework for Implementation Fidelity.
