A Pilot Study of 2 Brief Forms of Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training for Emotion Dysregulation in College Students

Abstract

Objective: To examine the feasibility and initial efficacy of 2 abbreviated dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills training groups: emotion regulation skills only and emotion regulation with mindfulness skills. Participants: Participants were 24 undergraduates (aged 18–29) with significant emotion dysregulation who participated between February and May of 2010, 2011, and 2012. Methods: Participants participated in 2-hour weekly group sessions for 8 weeks and completed outcome measures at baseline, midtreatment, posttreatment, and 4-week follow-up. Results: Participants in both conditions made significant gains, with large effect sizes, across measures of emotion regulation, affect, skills use, and functioning. There were no differences between the 2 groups, suggesting no additive benefit of mindfulness skills. Conclusions: This pilot study provides support for the acceptability and efficacy of abbreviated DBT skills training in colleges, given significant improvements, positive feedback, and low attrition. Impediments to feasibility included recruitment difficulties, particularly due to scheduling constraints.

Most do not seek nursing homes but are turning to government for supportive services.

村镇规划员工作培训需求的实证分析--基于安徽省的问卷调查

通过对安徽省村镇规划员进行问卷调查,运用Spss对村镇规划员工作培训需求情况进行相关分析和回归分析,对影响村镇规划员工作培训需求的因素进行实证研究。研究表明：村镇规划员在主观上有较为强烈的培训需求,但目前的培训供给与培训需求不够协调;村镇规划员的个性特征不同,导致对培训的需求和培训评价不同;在影响培训评价的众多因素中,规划员的年龄影响最大。因此,要提高村镇规划员的工作效果,必须进一步完善规划理论提高规划员的规划水平,健全规划标准增强实践工作的可操作性,加大资金投入力度稳定规划员队伍。
