Professional Development To Improve Parent-Child Interaction Observation For Early Intervention Home Visitors
No full textChildren who experience positive and nurturing interactions with parents in infancy and early childhood develop healthy and secure attachments and are significantly better prepared to succeed in school (Connell & Prinz, 2002; Pianta et al., 1997). The absence of such care can lead to long-term physical and emotional health challenges such as anxiety and depression throughout life. Parents served by home visiting programs often include the most at-risk families who are struggling to meet their children’s most basic needs for food, housing, safety, and care, which can disrupt them from providing the positive interaction needed for children’s early relational health (Bernard et al., 2015). Early intervention home visitors can observe parent-child interaction and use the results to help families plan for and engage in positive interaction with their children. This mixed-methods study aimed to explore the impact of professional development activities on home visitors’ capacity and confidence in observing and addressing the quality of parent-child interaction within home settings as part of regular home visits.The Parent-Child Interaction Observation for Early Intervention Home Visitors pre- and post-assessments were distributed across six Michigan early intervention programs and completed by 13 of the 17 enrolled study participants pre and post. At post, additional open-ended satisfaction questions were added to the assessment and completed by thirteen participants. Several themes emerged through the mixed-methods study, including the importance of hands-on practice and feedback to warrant home visitors’ practice change, the critical need to leverage diverse learning opportunities to best support adult learners, and the importance of engaging early adopters who volunteer their time and have the will to participate

Bariatric Surgery, Body Image, and Mental Health: How is one's mental health affected in relation to changes in body image after extreme weight loss following bariatric surgery?
No full textIn this thesis, a literature review was conducted to examine changes in body image following bariatric surgery and the relationship between body image and different aspects of psychological health. 26 Studies were selected for inclusion and reviewed. Changes in body image, depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and quality of life were evaluated and discussed. The results demonstrated consistent improvements in body image and all psychological variables, most commonly being depressive symptoms. This review confirms the link between weight loss, body image, and mental health and suggests body image counseling should be provided to those seeking bariatric surgery

Counselor Self-Efficacy, Work Experience, and Educational Background as Predictors in Willingness to Treat and Seek Additional Training to Work with Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Clients
No full textThe aim of the research was to understand how counselor self-efficacy (CSE) influences willingness to treat non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) clients, as well as willingness to seek out training to learn about NSSI. Research has shown that NSSI clients are viewed by counselors as one of the most difficult types of clients to treat and counselors report a lack of knowledge of how to confidently work with NSSI clients. However, CSE for both community and school counselors and whether it predictswillingness to work with NSSI clients or to obtain training about NSSI has not been examined in the literature. The current study used a non-experimental, quantitative design to look at the relationship between CSE, willingness to treat NSSI clients, and willingness to participate in NSSI training. The results found significant differences between CSE and willingness to work with NSSI clients, but no significant differences between CSE and willingness to obtain NSSI training. The clinical implications, limitations and future research recommendations for counselors are discussed
