Abstract: |

Pain, depression, anger, guilt, and sense
of hopelessness – these are but a few of the debilitating physical and
psychological effects that may overwhelm individuals as they respond to the
death of a spouse or a close family member. Such chronic grief reactions pose
obvious clinical and public health concerns including, but are not limited
to, elevated risks for suicide and mortality (1). However, there are clear
differences in the length and severity of grief reactions amongst bereaved
individuals. Apart from chronic grief, as well as common grief marked by an
initial increase in depression that would gradually decrease over time, it
has repeatedly been reported that about 45%-55% of bereaved individuals
experience only minimal levels of pre-and-post loss depression with
relatively stable emotional state and unaffected functional status (2). These
individuals depict the presence of a resilient grief trajectory.
Unfortunately, knowledge about factors predisposing a bereaved person toward
bereavement resilience remains scarce due to limited research. One line of
investigation however, has consistently supported the common contention that
the way in which a chronically ill patient perceives and manages his / her
illness has a direct effect on how his / her family members experience and
cope with the disease and vice versa. Particularly, it has been reported that
patients’ deteriorating status, distress, uncontrolled symptoms, and poor
self-care has a negative impact on the well-being and quality of life of
their family members; sequentially, the experience and well-being of the
family can influence the patient’s own general well-being as well as how
patients’ symptoms are managed (3). Despite the aforesaid, much less is known
about how terminal patients perceive and cope with their impending transience
would in turn affect their family members’ bereavement processes. Based on
the above train of thoughts, one may expect the levels of depression and
death anxiety amongst terminal patients to have a profound effect on the
coping efficacy of their family members. Moreover, patients’ levels of
symptoms management and death preparation may also affect how their family
members undergo their forthcoming bereavement. Although the literature on
psychological states of terminal patients have been negatively stressed as
depressed, anxious, hostile, having low self-esteem and being in denial, it
has been suggested that having a terminal illness could promote new
psychological growth (4). A body of research has suggested that there are two
major motivational strategies that gear human functioning towards new
psychological growth through adversity: the strategy to approach situations
“approach motivation/promotion focus” and the strategy to avoid situations
“avoidance motivation/prevention focus” (5, 6, 7). People with avoidance
motivation/ prevention focus strive to avoid negative outcomes. Their focus
is on negative events such as pain, failure, and illness. They are motivated
to take preventive measures when they perceive that there are impending
threats of these negative events. In contrast, people with approach
motivation/promotion focus strive to obtain positive outcomes. Their focus is
on positive events such as health, success, and growth. They are motivated to
take promotional measures when they perceive that there is high likelihood
for these positive events. These two different styles of motivational
self-regulatory focus (6, 7) have profound implications on people’s coping
strategies and perseverance. People with avoidance motivation/prevention
focus are vigilant and persistent after setbacks but lose their vigilance and
persistence after success; in contrast, people with approach
motivation/promotion focus are highly motivated after success but lose their
motivation after setbacks. From this perspective of self-regulatory theory
(6, 7), we speculate that adversity (fear of death and pain as a reminder)
will be motivating to terminal patients with preventive focus; whereas
conversely, success (the use of health as a desirable goal) will be
motivating to terminal patients with promotion focus. Moreover, based on
social cognition theory which urges that the promotion or prevention examples
set by individuals are transmittable and can have a profound impact on the
people around them (6, 7), we further hypothesize that terminal patients’
self-regulatory focus in relation to coping with their illness would
stimulate similar motivational styles and behavioral changes among their
family member in dealing with the impending loss. In essence, how terminal
patients perceive negative events (pain, failure, and illness) and positive
events (health, success, and growth) is pertinent to their motivation to cope
with their predicament, which in turn may have a profound effect on the
griefing process of their family members. By applying the theory of
self-regulatory focus to bereavement research, the proposed study aims to
explore the motivational strategies of terminal patients so as to foster our
understanding on how they perceive and cope with their illness and inevitable
death. At the same time, such understanding would serve to unveil how
patients’ subjective well-being and death anxiety affect their family
members’ experience in relation to the ailment and imminent loss. Ultimately,
factors that facilitate good deaths among terminal patients as well as
bereavement resilience among surviving family members could be identified,
and thereafter applied to clinical use in palliative care facilities across |

Abstract: |
|
Unlike the typical domestic violence
scenario in the West that usually involves a lone man battering a lone woman,
violence against women in Asia usually involves the husband’s family; in
particular, senior women such as the wife’s mother-in-law[1]. Other studies
in Indian, Indo-Fijian, and Taiwanese cultures[2] have similarly found that
the mother-in-law plays a role in wife beating, and that this is probably
common in collectivist societies in general. The mother-in-law may be a
perpetrator of violence against women[3,4] even against pregnant women.[5,6]
A very recent study of South Asians in the United States found a significant
relationship between IPV and emotional abuse by in-laws.[7] Conflict with the
mother-in-law may be a risk factor for the wife’s postnatal depression[8] as
well as for the husband’s violence.[9,10] The husband may be a passive
observer of the in-law conflict or a participant in his wife’s battering.
This study focuses mainly on in-law conflict, which is more common than
in-law abuse. Existing studies of in-law conflict as a risk factor for IPV
have mainly used case studies or qualitative studies with small samples, so
reliable analysis is not possible and the findings have limited
generalizability. Until now, data have not been available to quantitatively
test the correlation between in-law conflict and IPV. To fill this research
gap, the proposed study aims to investigate the construct of in-law abuse and
conflict, and to develop an assessment instrument to quantify the levels of
in-law conflict and to examine the correlation between in-law conflict and
IPV against women in a cohort of Chinese women. The study investigates in-law
conflict among Chinese couples in association with spousal violence in |

Abstract: |
|
Depression is a common and serious mental disorder although antidepressant medications, electroconvulsive therapy, and some psychotherapies are found to be effective treatment of this disorders. And yet, individuals afflicted with major depression or dysthymia may refuse psychiatric treatment, sometime, because of their illness. Although current guidelines require clinicians to obtain patients' informed consent for these psychiatric interventions, but empirical research have suggested that some psychiatric patients may not have sufficient decisional capacity to make treatment related decision (Van Staden & Kruger, 2003). Little is known about the capacity of patients with major depression or dysthymia because the notion of competence to consent to treatment was originally required to address mainly cognitive impaired or psychotic individuals, some of whom are more in the public eye because of an increased risk of danger to others when their mental impairment is not treated, such as schizophrenia. That might be the reason why no study has been conducted to evaluate the impact of aging on the treatment related decision-making ability among depressed even though this issue has been initially explored in older adults with schizophrenia (Palmer, Dunn, Appelbaum, & Jeste, 2004). The primary aims of the present proposed study are to examine the level, range, neuropsychological correlates, and stability of treatment-related decisional capacity among middle-aged and older patients (age >39) with major depression or dysthymia. Moreover, we will validate two measures of treatment-related decision making capacity in local context. |

To review these three pillars and how their roles in retirement income protection could be strengthened in the future. Any reforms in pension scheme should be undertaken very cautiously because retirement income systems that are affordable today may not be sustainable in the future due to the twin pressures of demographic aging and the maturing of pension schemes; to assess the financial sustainability and the effectiveness (i.e. reduction of poverty and income inequality) of the changed or newly proposed schemes based on computer simulation with essential data set; (1) to assess the distribution of income and asset possession among older adults in the coming 3 decades; (2) to examine the public expenditure of the social security system including old-aged category of CSSA and OAA scheme in the coming 3 decades; (3) to estimate the benefits to be received from the retirement protection schemes including the MPF Schemes, the voluntary occupational ORSO schemes, and civil servant pension scheme in the coming thirty years; to review and evaluate the roles of the existing pillars in old age income security; (5) to propose a number of schemes that may change or replace the current social security system for older adults; to study which schemes pass the financial sustainability test for the next 30 years; (7) to project the impact of the schemes passed the sustainability test on the distribution of income and asset possession in the future cohort of older adults in the coming 3 decades e.g. to what extent these schemes may prevent or reduce the poverty or income inequality in old age; to evaluate the schemes by taking into account of results obtained in (2) to (7) and social (attitude to poverty in old age, concept of equity), economic and political (feasibility) circumstances of Hong Kong and guidelines proposed by World Bank (1994) as well as Holzmann, MacArthur, & Sin (2000); and 9) to recommend the most appropriate schemes taking into account of results obtained in all tasks mentioned above and economic and political (feasibility) circumstances of Hong Kong and to propose the detailed design of the scheme and the appropriate implementation strategy. |

Research Objectives This project is to
study the effect of Dance Movement Therapy on improving metal health, in
particular, reducing stress, anxiety, and stagnation in cancer patients. Key
Issues and Problems being addressed Dance movement therapy (DMT) is a
psychotherapy building on the belief that body movement reflects and affects
psychological states. It based on the assumptions of the interconnectedness
of mind, body, and spirit; and also the total integration of the three is
crucial to the holistic health of a person. In addition to treating people
with mental and psychological problems, DMT has been used during the past
decade in western countries to reduce the special stress and anxiety
associated with chronic illness and cancer. Traditional therapeutic and
counselling methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and
supportive-expressive therapy etc. are conducted and based on verbal communications.
However, human communications are not all through words or through verbal
context. Research studies indicated that 93% of human communications is
non-verbal (Dosamantes, 1980). In fact, there is also situation that when
words are not enough or people feel difficult to express verbally, e.g. under
stress or traumatic conditions. Unexpressed feelings are usually internalized
and manifested on the body level. Psychosomatic complains and symptoms are
thus commonly observed in persons who have gone through life events or
traumatic experience. As cancer is also a life-threatening disease, it is not
uncommon to see cancer patients have those psychosomatic complains and
symptoms (Brandberg, Manssonbrahme, Ringborg, & Sjoden, 1995; Challinor
et al., 1999; Chaturvedi & Maguire, 1998; Redd, 1982). Non-verbal methods
for interpersonal communications in counseling or intervention context are
thus equally important to the traditional verbal method. In addition, Chinese
are educated to be disciplined or self-controlled, spontaneous and free
expression of emotions and feelings are not encouraged so as to avoid
breaking interpersonal and social harmony (Tseng, 1975; R.T.H. Ho, Chan,
& Ho, 2004). The suppressed feelings and emotions are usually
internalized. There have been documented that psychosomatic symptoms are
particularly common in Chinese, and Chinese cancer patients thus suffer more
intensely because of the difficulties and inefficiency in expressing and
ventilating feelings and emotions (Cheung, Lau, & Waldmann, 1981; Tseng,
1975; Chan & Rhind, 1997; Cheung, 1986). The physical pain resulted from
diagnosis and treatment procedures, and psychological sufferings are 'stored'
and 'locked' inside the body. DMT, which addresses problems on the body level
and also aims at solving the problems directly through the body, may be more
effective in releasing the burden the bodies bear, and have a profound effect
on the healing process on cancer patients. Previous studies had demonstrated
that physical exercises and dance movement could enhance the range of
movement, freedom of total body movement, positive mood and facilitates
psychological adjustment to the diagnosis of cancer. patients (Courneya,
Keats, & Turner, 2000; Mock et al., 1997; Molinaro, Kleinfeld, &
Lebed, 1984, 1986; Rowden, 1984; Sandel & Judge, 2004). Using a more
in-depth approach such as authentic movement, DMT was also found to have
significant effect on improving vigor, fatigue and somatization in cancer
patients. Objective and self-perceived subjective improvement on mood,
distress, body-image and self-esteem was also found (Dibbell-Hope, 2000).
Participants indicated that they have increased sense of hope, ease, strength
and social support, while negative mood and worry about future was decreased.
Serlin and co-workers also revealed that breast cancer patients participated
in DMT group had decreased depression and anxiety, and significant
improvement on fatigue, anxiety, and tension scales (Serlin, |
