Cognitive-Affective Processing, Sleep Quality, And Mood In Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Ciaran Michael Considine
Cognitive-Affective Processing, Sleep Quality, And Mood In Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Ciaran Michael Considine
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
OBJECTIVES : Extant experimental research implicates sleep disturbance as causal to dysregulation of emotional processes and neurocognitive functioning. Clinical research with psychiatric samples suggests that sleep disturbance may be an etiological or sustaining factor in certain conditions, rather than solely a symptom. Recently proposed models have hypothesized cognitive-affective processing (CAP) as a potential mediator for the relationship between sleep disturbance and depressed mood. This study investigated relevant neuropsychological and sleep-physiological variables to explore the applicability of this type of model within a sleep apnea referral sample. METHODS: 61 participants referred for polysomnogram also completed self-report measures of mood and sleep, …

Parentification, Coping, And Distress In Siblings Of Individuals With And Without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (Adhd), Aranda Christine Wingsiong
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Parentification refers to the intergenerational role-reversal within a family wherein a child is assigned the adult caregiving role. Typically-developing siblings of individuals with developmental disabilities often experience increased caregiving responsibilities compared to their peers (Cuskelly & Gunn, 2003) and face unique challenges within their sibling relationship (Petalas et al., 2009), which may place them at a greater risk for parentification. The purpose of the current study was to compare parentification experiences, coping strategies, and social and behavioural adjustment between 30 siblings (age 17 to 25 years) of individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and 179 siblings of individuals without disabilities. Contrary …

Predictors Of Depression After Traumatic Brain Injury During Early And Late Recovery, Elmar Gardizi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Cognitive, neurological, and psychosocial predictors of depression after TBI were investigated in an Early and a Late Recovery group. The Early Recovery group consisted of 80 participants who were 1.3 years removed from their TBI, while the Late Recovery Group consisted of 107 participants who were 10.1 years removed from their TBI. Participants were enrolled in the Southeastern Michigan Traumatic Brain Injury System (SEMTBIS). Depression was measured using the Brief Symptom Inventory Depression subscale. The cognitive domains that were assessed included attention, executive functioning, and memory. Injury severity was used as a measure of neurological damage while psychosocial variables of …
