This article evaluates the pilot phase of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Male Health Module. Although men experience higher levels of illness and die younger than women, educational programs to support health workers utilise a gender-based approach to increase participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males in health care are rare and lack appropriate content. Recognising this gap in service provision, and under the guidance of a Reference Group comprising community leaders in Aboriginal and Torres Strait male health, a comprehensive and culturally appropriate Male Health Module has been developed to enhance the capacity of health workers to improve access to services for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males. Methods used were: in-depth interviews with Module developers, pilot workshops for trainers and health workers, questionnaires and focus group discussions with workshop participants, and participant observations. As well as enhancing capacity to facilitate access to health services for men, the Module was deemed relevant because of its potential to promote health worker empowerment and wellbeing. Findings revealed that improving access to services for men required male and female health workers working in partnership. Despite overall enthusiasm for the Module, the findings also revealed deep fear that it would end up ‘collecting dust on shelves’. Strategies to improve the Module quality and accessibility are highlighted.

Psychologische Interventionen

Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Die Studie betrachtet die Bedeutung der Resilienz für psychologische Interventionen in der stationären psychosomatischen Rehabilitation. Methode: An einer Stichprobe von 401 Patientinnen und Patienten werden Ausprägung, Veränderbarkeit und Vorhersagekraft der Resilienz am Anfang, am Ende und 12 Monate nach der Rehabilitation untersucht. Ergebnisse: Die Patientinnen und Patienten verfügen zu Rehabilitationsbeginn im Vergleich zu repräsentativen Erhebungen über ein signifikant geringeres Ausmaß an Resilienz ( p < .001, d = 0.86). Über die drei Messzeitpunkte hat sich die Resilienz der Patientinnen und Patienten signifikant verändert ( p < .001, part. Eta2 = 0.08). Return to Work lässt sich durch die Resilienz zu Rehabilitationsbeginn und zu Rehabilitationsende signifikant vorhersagen (jeweils p < .001, d = 0.39 bzw. d = 0.53), allerdings kommen anderen Merkmalen, v. a. der Selbstregulationsfähigkeit und der subjektiven Prognose der Erwerbstätigkeit, eine größere Bedeutung zu. Schlussfolgerung: Resilienz ist ein veränderliches Merkmal, das mit anderen veränderbaren psychologischen Merkmalen in Zusammenhang steht. Bei psychologischen Interventionen in der Rehabilitation zur Stärkung der Erwerbsfähigkeit sollte die Selbstregulationsfähigkeit unter Berücksichtigung von Strategien zur Bewältigung beruflicher Belastungen betont werden.

This article introduces Cognitive Health Counseling 40+ (CH.CO40+), an individualized intervention that is conceptually based on the orchestration model of quality-of-life management ( Martin & Kliegel, 2010 ) and aims at improving satisfaction with cognitive health in adults aged 40 years and older. We describe the theoretically deduced characteristics of CH.CO40+, its target group, its multifactorial nature, its individualization, the application of subjective and objective measures, the role of participants as agents of change, and the rationale for choosing participants’ satisfaction with their cognitive health as main outcome variable. A pilot phase with 15 middle-aged and six older adults suggests that CH.CO40+ attracts, and may be particularly suitable for, subjective memory complainers. Implications of the pilot data for the further development of the intervention are discussed.

Abstract. Background: Suicide is a pervasive and complex issue that can challenge counselors through the course of their careers. Research and practice focus heavily on crisis management and imminent risk rather than early intervention strategies. Early intervention strategies can assist counselors working with clients who have suicidal ideation, but are not at imminent risk, or with clients whose risk factors identify them as having a stronger trajectory for suicidal ideation. Aims: This systematic literature review examines the current literature on working with clients with suicidal ideation who are not at imminent risk, to ascertain the types of information and strategies available to counselors working with this client group. Method: An initial 622 articles were identified for analysis and from these 24 were included in the final review, which was synthesized using a narrative approach. Results: Results indicate that research into early intervention strategies is extremely limited. Conclusion: It was possible to describe emergent themes and practice guidelines to assist counselors working with clients with suicidal ideation but not at imminent risk.
