强迫症患者、强迫型人格障碍患者和健康对照者之间的认知灵活性和计划能力比较（英文）

背景:强迫症患者(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder,OCD)与强迫型人格障碍患者(Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder,OCPD)的认知功能还没有得到充分的研究。目标:验证OCD和OCPD患者的认知灵活性和计划能力。方法:本研究在德黑兰心理咨询门诊选定了25例OCD患者和20例OCPD患者,他们在既往两周都没有服药,并且从大学工作人员和当地社区居民中选定了25名健康对照者。对所有参与者均进行28项一般健康问卷(28-item version of the General Health Questionnaire,GHQ-28)、威斯康星卡片分类测验(Wisconsin Card Sorting Test,WCST)、和伦敦塔试验(Tower of London test,TOL))。本研究运用WCTS的两个测量指标(持续错误数和完成分类数)评估认知灵活性以及TOL的三个测量指标(12个试验总共的移动次数、总应答时和计划时间)评估计划能力。结果:2组患者的当前心理困扰程度显著高于对照组。在控制人口学因素和心理困扰水平后,OCD患者和OCPD患者在WCST测试中比对照组更容易出现持续性错误,而OCD患者(不包括OCPD患者)的完成分类数比对照组显著减少。OCD患者和OCDP患者都比对照组需要更多的移动次数来完成12项TOL任务,并且OCD患者比OCPD患者和对照组需要花更长的时间来完成任务。结论:与健康对照组相比,OCD和OCPD患者的认知灵活性和计划能力都有所受损,并且OCD和OCPD患者之间的认知功能测试也存在一些差异。我们需要对OCD和OCPD患者进行长期随访研究评估在强迫症状严重性加重与减轻时认知功能的改变,从而决定此类认知评估指标对于强迫症是否有诊断或临床关联性。

Mental training can improve physical activity behavior in adolescent girls

Background:Lately,physical activity(PA) in young girls has been frequently discussed,thus we were interested to examine whether a mental training intervention can increase the level of PA in young girls.Methods:A sample of 56 girls aged 15.4 ± 0.3 years(mean ± SD) was assigned to either the intervention or control group.We then conducted a6-week mental imagery training program on young female participants.PA was evaluated with objective accelerometer monitors.Physical self-concept was also assessed in all participants.Results:Young females' PA increased after a course of mental training compared to female participants in control group.Furthermore,physical self-concept improved related to mental training program.Conclusion:Exercise imagery may be an effective method of PA increase besides psychological enhancement in young girls.

Organized physical activity and sedentary behaviors in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder,cerebral palsy,and intellectual disability

BACKGROUND There is little data on physical activity(PA),organized PA(OPA),and sedentary behaviors in autism spectrum disorders(ASD)and other neurodevelopmental disorders in developing countries.AIM To examine OPA,non-OPA,and sedentary behaviors and their associated factors in children and adolescents with ASD,cerebral palsy(CP),and intellectual disability(ID).METHODS A total of 1020 children and adolescents with ASD,CP,and ID were assessed regarding the child and family information as well as the Children’s Leisure Activities Study Survey.RESULTS The results showed that the OPA level was significantly lower than non-OPA in all groups.Furthermore,the OPA level was significantly lower in the CP group compared to ASD and ID groups(P<0.001).Also,moderate(P<0.001),vigorous(P<0.05),and total(P<0.001)physical activity levels were significantly different between all three groups,with the values being higher in the ASD group compared to the other two.The mean of the total sedentary behavior duration in the ASD group(1819.4 min/week,SD:1680)was significantly lower than in the CP group(2687 min/week,SD:2673)(P=0.007)but not ID group(2176 min/week,SD:2168.9)(P=0.525).CONCLUSION Our findings remark on the participation rate of PA,OPA,and sedentary behaviors of children and adolescents with ASD,CP,and ID in a developing country.In contrast,the need for developing standards of PA/OPA participation in neurodevelopmental disorders is discussed.
