Brief report: Collecting self-defining memories outside therapy
No full textThe aim of this study was to test the Self-Defining Memory Task (SDM Task)—i.e., the possibility to retrieve personally meaningful memories in an experimental context.
Methods
A sample of young adults (N = 36) were asked to recall personal memories in response to different sets of instructions: self-defining memory instructions versus detailed/non-detailed autobiographical memory instructions. Participants' subjective ratings of memory qualities and behavioural measures were considered, such as latency and narrative duration times.
Results
Self-defining memories were rated as more important and emotionally intense compared to other autobiographical memories. The use of detailed memory instructions, however, increased the time of retrieval and the duration of the narrative, eliciting more remote memories, compared to non-detailed instructions.
Conclusions
The SDM Task seemed to be more likely to elicit the personally meaningful memories that might be shared with a significant other or in a therapeutic context. Research in autobiographical memory processes constitutes valuable material for clinical psychologists

Memoria autobiografica, intelligenza emotiva come tratto e sintomi depressivi: Uno studio preliminare
No full textStratified cost-utility analysis of C-Leg versus mechanical knees: Findings from an Italian sample of transfemoral amputees
No full textTBackground: The fitting rate of the C-Leg electronic knee (Otto-Bock, D) has increased steadily over the last 15 years. Current cost-utility studies, however, have not considered the patients’ characteristics. Objectives: To complete a cost-utility analysis involving C-Leg and mechanical knee users; “age at the time of enrollment,” “age at the time of first prosthesis,” and “experience with the current type of prosthesis” are assumed as non-nested stratification parameters. Study design: Cohort retrospective. Methods: In all, 70 C-Leg and 57 mechanical knee users were selected. For each stratification criteria, we evaluated the cost-utility of C-Leg versus mechanical knees by computing the incremental cost-utility ratio, that is, the ratio of the “difference in cost” and the “difference in utility” of the two technologies. Cost consisted of acquisition, maintenance, transportation, and lodging expenses. Utility was measured in terms of quality-adjusted life years, computed on the basis of participants’ answers to the EQ-5D questionnaire. Results: Patients over 40 years at the time of first prosthesis were the only group featuring an incremental cost-utility ratio (88,779 €/quality-adjusted life year) above the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence practical cost-utility threshold (54,120 €/quality-adjusted live year): C-Leg users experience a significant improvement of “mobility,” but limited outcomes on “usual activities,” “self-care,” “depression/anxiety,” and reduction of “pain/discomfort.” Conclusion: The stratified cost-utility results have relevant clinical implications and provide useful information for practitioners in tailoring interventions. Clinical relevance: A cost-utility analysis that considered patients characteristics provided insights on the “affordability” of C-Leg compared to mechanical knees. In particular, results suggest that C-Leg has a significant impact on “mobility” for first-time prosthetic users over 40 years, but implementation of specific low-cost physical/psychosocial interventions is required to retun within cost-utility thresholds
